New material from the Heddshotts militia. They have a mixtape dropping entitles, Hip Hop Anonymous, so you will want to check for that. These guys are all about that grimy, in-your-face, hip hop flavor, so let your head hit the concrete and listen to the streets!
Dope cut. The fact that DJ Illanoiz dipped back into the 1980s and used this Real Live sample from Send Me An Angel put a smile on my face. I never thought that would be used for a hip hop song.
Hallelujah will not be found on YC The Cynic’s new project but is indicative of his latest sound.
This remix of Dirt Platoon’s Second Brokest by DJ Brans is off of the France’s Finest NY Minute Remix project that is dropping in online stores this Tuesday. There are going to be a lot of big names on this project and A LOT of talent from some French producers. I am excited about this album from the standpoint it is going to showcase the wears of a lot of talented beatsmiths from across the Atlantic that you otherwise may not hear.
I had some time to kill before my site relaunch to listen this artist, KADDIE LAK. And while I am not fond of his monniker, I am fond of the music. He has a gruff and raspy flow that is easy to get into. He has a mixtape dropping entitled, CAC: The Re Up and I am going to check on the consistency of his work. If it’s on point like this, I can grow to like the name. This song, by the way, is dedicated to the “fake friends & unloyal bitches”. I have had my fair share of that lately.
Local Mu-12 is readying their debut album and this is the first single from the project. This particular cut features The 17th, Fokis, and Broadway Barrett. The 17th laces the beat which sounds as if I was walking through an evil carnival. I am a huge fan of the crews’ body of work and really am looking forward to what they have to offer a full length project. The camp has so many diverse styles and embodies the talent level that you can find in today’s music scene. This cut may be entitled ‘Unhappy’ but it certainly brought a smile to this mug. I hope you enjoy…
Yes! Some new cats with something different. I do have a tendency to follow the dark side and that’s exactly what the duo of Mr. Morbid (name suits) and Melph bring to the game. This beat is a creeper. It’s haunting when the guitar is combined with the church organ. Then there all these awesome snippets scratched into the hook. This is type-ill heat…
The duo are dropping an album in late 2013 that will be dropping in late 2013.
Our last Artist Spotlight participant, Skeezo, is preparing a new project, Face Value that will be dropping 03/26/13. This jazzy and laid back type beat is new for me in regards to Skeezo and I like it. Really dope cut that shows off his diversity. Production by Ruen.
I am just going to make my own JoJo Pellegrino mixtape. He has dropped enough loosies over the course of the last couple of years for me to comprise one. The man is extremely gifted and I hope to catch an official project from him soon. This track is produced by Fallen Down.
Juan Deuce is the lab cranking out an album with Falside. Meanwhile, to subdue the throngs of fans he let loose this cut, Slapdash. It’s a dope joint with a droning bass line and Deuce doling out verbal treats for the kiddies. If you hadn’t checked out last year’s mixtape, No Sweat, now would be the appropriate time to get on that.
Dope track from P-Moneys forthcoming album, entitled Gratitude. On this joint Roc Marciano picks up the the duties on the microphone and rides some well construed electric funk. The beat is deliberate but still nods the head effectively. I am not sure when the album drops but we will be checking for it.
