New joint from supa-producer SciFi Stu. It’s heavy on the drums, keys, and dope, chopped up samples. This is one of the more boom bap cuts I have heard from Stu. It doesn’t hurt that you have two deep and gruff voices flipping flows over the track in Junclassic and King RA.
Dopping it heavy…
We featured a Sommy Lovell song back in December called Amelia. That’s kind of a big deal because we have not been featuring a whole lot of new artists. It’s because a lot of new artists aren’t doing the type of music we like. But Lovell’s got the recipe for making good music. He’s also producing his own music which is a bit of a change up.
I never asked for acceptance, I was cool pariah
Need I say more. I say hop on board this train before it becomes a God forsaken bandwagon.
New music from Sandpeople member, Al-One is always a welcome treat in the inbox. This track is coming off of his forthcoming album, Shallow Al, which is dropping on April 20th.
Man, this is a moment that needs repenting: I have not checked out Napoleon Da Legend’s latest album, Awakening. I am ashamed of that because this joint is proof that the man has a serious skill set. He goes bar for bar with my current favorite artist, Spit Gemz. That’s saying something. So let us correct ourselves and give this album a spin, shall we? As purveyors of fine hip hop, that’s a definitive duty.
Let the horns blow! It’s like a call to war on this track. Some of my favorite emcees gathered for this remix to Shaz Illyork’s Chopper. We got Nems, Poison Pen, Nutso, and Danse Daimons. I am not familiar with the latter artist but the former gentlemen are certified body bag rhymers. I was particularly impressed with Poison Pen’s bars. I haven’t heard him in a long while and he sounded certified fresh on this joint. I can’t wait to get my hands on Illyork’s Deadstock Revival.
Morgue music.
Some high octane hip hop to get the juices moving this Monday. J57, Venomous2000, FDot1, and El Gant pull off their best Supafly Snooka over this 70s funktastic Rediculous beat. As of last year, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you who Rediculous even was, but he has been responsible for some pretty impressive works over the course of that time. When I get something in the inbox with his name on it, I know I have to pay attention.
I am really diggin’ this Timeless Beats produced track. The sampling is on point. (More on point than this artwork that’s cutting off the names of the artists). Rap-P, Famoso, and Shabaam Sahdeeq all showcase their skills proper.
I love it. Absolutely love it. OnlyOne drops nothing but heat and now he’s once again teamed up with producer Furtado Yuen for the second installment of their collaborative EPs. The first one is still on repeat in the rotation. Professional is my personal favorite cut off of that project but I digress (pick that up if you have not already)
This is a complete song from the bars to the production to the chorus. All hip hop heads will be liable to play this joint…
Another artist I wasn’t familiar with until today. L.I.F.E.T.I.M.E. drops a cut in dedication of those “lyrical raps” alongside the vet, Sha Stimuli. Thorotracks provides the smooth production with cracking drums. This track is a prelude to his Endemic produced album, From The Hart dropping with no said date.
I always enjoy discovering the one artist out of the hundreds of submissions I receive that really fits the vibe of Hip Hop Dependency. I like the dusty jazz vibe of the track coupled with Cliff Po’s rough mic prowess. Reminds me a little of Group Home from the Gangstarr Foundation. I like it.
