I had forgotten for a moment that Vorheez new album would be dropping this year and while the Fall seems like it is a long way along, it’s cut like these that will tide us over. This track will actually be featured on The Grim Reaperz EP (dropping May 10th, vinyl only). The beat is hot and the rhyme exchanges are fresh.
I love the artwork on here. The whole “bizarro world” Sesame Street is perfect for the banger the Heddshotts crew have laced for us. These guys define gutter. The droning horns and pounding drums compliment the scathing flows appropriately, wouldn’t you say?
This cut is coming off of Tha Soloist vs. Trilian: Original Script album. That album is really thirteen tracks of straight dopeness. On this joint you have our World View (album dropping in 2017. Cheapshot, I know) compatriot Awkword. This track has a definite “old school” vibe to it as both the producer and the emcees throw it back a bit. I also want to mention that Trilian (out of Serbia) has been cranking out some bangers this year. He has another album with this artist, Rated R, that has superlative production. Definitely stay connected to what this young man is doing.
It’s been 3 years since Revalation (of EMS) brought you a solo project. He’s been doing numerous features for side projects and his crew that has kept him busy. But now he finally brings you his 1st single, Here We Go, featuring veteran Ohio emcee, Dominique Larue, and produced by Pittsburgh’s Shade Cobain. This track is taken from Revalation’s upcoming mixtape Feature Presentation due out this summer….
Endemic is a producer out of the UK who has made some noise before with his initial offering of Terminal Illness. He has an ill sound and also a new project coming out soon. Quarantine is a mixtape he has dropping on May 27th and the line up looks pretty fresh to me. I mean look at the line up on this track! Any concerns? Didn’t think so.
This is the lead single from J57 and Numonics’ collaborative project, LI FTW, which I had no idea existed until now. But this has instantly become one of the most anticipated projects this year. Those two are among the dopest beatsmiths in the here and now.
I also like how Lyriciss is getting the chance to showcase his ability to a wider audience. He is a very potent emcee and people will start discovering that soon. He rides this beat and does some creative things cadence wise to make it more distinct. Special shout out for the Quantum Leap line because you truly can’t go back…
Elementality producer, Analogic links up with the now super-busy Supasition. Ever since Supastition announced his return to music he has been a very busy man. This track however is the first single off of Analogic’s forthcoming album, The Booth Shall Set You Free. (Very catch title!) The two have good chemistry together and Supa lyrically takes exception to politics in general and the politics of music. Dope cut.
Let start off by saying I love this beat. It’s unique and offers a different sound than I am used to hearing. Add to the fact, that producer Reckonize Real accesses the services of Torae, M-Dot, and Tribeca, you have nothing short of a winner. This is a true gem to those of us who like our hip hop raw and uncut with a touch of flair. I can’t wait to hear more. The producer’s album, Dopamine, should be dropping in June.
Leave it up to the Local-MU12 collective to keep it popping. It’s a dog eat dog world and the competition is fierce so it’s no wonder that people would be praying for his downfall. Broadway Barrett is a talented emcee dropping heavy bars with compatriots. He also produced this banger. This is just a tough track all around. Enjoy.
Little Vic drops a new/old gem for the public’s consumption. Old because he made it a while ago, new because you have yet to hear it. He’s dropping the biblical, the historical, and the mythological on this joint.
