Single You Out: Final Outlaw – S.O.S

S.O.S Final Outlaw

At this point I could just throw this song up there and say: “It’s Final Outlaw, you do the math…”.  Every time he drops a song it gets a feature in our daily five because his music is just that consistently good.  But it also deserves more than just a mention.  This cut S.O.S could easily be retitled, Innocence Lost.   Final Outlaw narrates or eludes to tale after tale of broken promises and wounded souls.  He does this over an eery beat that samples Nas’ NY State Of Mind.  Do yourself a favor and listen to this when you are in high spirits because the man is going to take you low on this joint…

His album, Unstoppable Love, is set to drop on Febraury 19th.  This cut, however, will not be on it.

Friday Feature: Jus Daze – Superman Is Dead

bba4e816ded5d063824bff76c7c1eb72

 

Jus Daze string of releases have become more and more compelling with every track.  I’ve talked about it before, but Jus Daze is becoming a master of connecting with the audience.  Even if he narrates a tale through metaphor and imagery, the potency of the message he imparts remains the same.  Here you have a Rod Stewart infused boom-bap produced by Clipsmoke, while Jus Daze uses the story of Superman to weave a tale of love, lies, and deception.   This is really good stuff people! I can’t wait for the album, Walk Twice As Hard.

Single You Out: KON Sci of MindsOne – Felt Tip

AndBeyond-Cover

I ran through KON Sci’s album, And Beyond,  once last night and I was really impressed.  There is some real intelligent lyricism on this album, and this is one of the many impressive cuts that can be found within.  As for this particular cut, I can’t do any better at describing it in this case than the PR person at Soulspazm:

The song brings to light KON Sci’s deep appreciation for his tool of creativity, his pen. Backed by a soothing soul voice sample, KON Sci expresses his admiration for his writing utensil through the use of metaphor and analogy.

Single You Out: Jeffrey iLL – Rebels (FYR)

1068326639-1

Jeffrey iLL is another new name here on HHD, but let me tell you WHY we are featuring him.  Not too many people are putting out that dusty, jazzy hip hop vibe anymore, and if they are, they aren’t doing a good enough job.  This guy is talented.  He’s got a nice flow that just meshes with the horn on here.  It’s quality material. He’s got an EP called, Eternal Pursuit dropping in three days so if you are a hip hop purist, pick this up!

Oooooh…damn…damn…love the James Bond sample that gets laced throughout the production.  And all the emcees spit some heavy bars. Apaulo Treed and Knightstalker’s album dropped yesterday, so consider purchasing this if you like those dark and heavy rhythms.  For my part,….this shit sounds tight…

Their album, The Last Line Of Defence is available as of today!

Single You Out: Siyah & Billy James – Outside In (Prod. by Bonobo)

artworks-000036927583-wy117p-large

This is what it’s all about folks.    I created HHD for artists like this.   Siyah and Billy James are some young and upcoming artists from Morganton, North Carolina and there ain’t nothing wrong with that.  These guys have a great flow and demeanor on the microphone.  The beat from Bonobo is exceptional.  I love the loop he uses.  All in all it’s a great cut.  So be on the lookout for these young men in the near future.  It’s evident that they understand what good hip hop is and are set on making it.
