Swerve is one of my favorite ‘break thru’ artists of 2012. If I was to have a label, without a doubt Swerve would be one of my first signees. He has such a laid back flow but with a great conversational and personal delivery. This remarkable cut is coming off his forthcoming Cold Winters & Warm Whiskey 2. Can’t wait…
Keeping up with our Friday Feature series, we are bringing you yet more music from Peet Caliber, the super talented New Jerz emcee that definitely needs to get his due. You can’t tell me he isn’t nice with his! New Jerz Giant Part Deux is one of those ‘no hook, go for delf’ joints. Production comes courtesy, once again, from Luv Jonez. Give this man his props, he most definitely deserves them!
Alright my people, CHRON: Legacy is dropping on Monday, can you get down with that? After you hear this track you will be. Lawz Spoken brings you cascading darkness disguised in a beat while OnlyOne and Illmaculate trade “under world” verses from the river Styx. Oh was that a bit much? Too dramatic? Fuck you…this shit is ill.
To all the blogs that do not post the music of Little Vic…here’s a professional middle finger cast in your direction. How can you not post this man’s music? Damn it. Excuse the rant but Little Vic doesn’t get half the credit he deserves for being a gifted lyricist. And it’s on tracks like these, where he just flexes his gift, that you can really see the sun shine so to speak. Supa Dave is on the boards…
Can’t wait for the album…
What these artists conjured in a basement on the fly after a show a lot of artists couldn’t accomplish in a well organized studio session. Some real mic-beasts on this track! This is the second leak from Con-Man’s next project Bogies & Coffee slated to drop next week.
Nu Vintage on the beat…
If there’s one thing that I have learned in 2012, it’s that cuts from DJ Grazzhoppa makes any track better. He’s added his flavor to dozens of songs this year with expert chopping. But the man is also an excellent producer and this is one of many examples. In celebration of the vinyl release of his album, Intricate Moves 2, he releases this joint with M-Dot. And although M-Dot and Grazzhoppa need no introduction in these parts it’s still a good choice.
First off this is an awesome title for a cut. Secondly this somber track is executed perfectly. Sommy Lovell really drops some insightful lyrics regarding disparaging conditions, sin, and conversations with God. The beat is pretty low key. The piano just preps the canvas for Lovell’s brush…
Eclipse 7777? Well in my mind this guy just made his HHD debut with a resounding splash. He brings some really personal and introspective lyrics to the table. The beat is what drew me in. That’s some exceptional work behind the boards by P8e. I am going to have to check in with this artist to see what else we might have on tap…
I had meant to post this track days ago. And while I have hear this sample used before just recently, it doesn’t make this track any less dope. Con-Man brings a nice skill set to the microphone to top it off. His new mix tape, Bogies & Coffee drops on December 20th.
Welcome to the jungle. New dope from the homie Godilla surface the other day and it certainly bears mentioning. This joint is coming off of his forthcoming Altered Beast project which should be surfacing soon. JBL The Titan is on the production while Shallow Pockets and GQ Nothin Pretty team up with Godilla on the mic. When all things are considered this song sounds threatening.
