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.
When DJ J-$crilla says he has some new music for me to listen to, I generally stop what I am doing and give it a listen. He has a knack for producing bangers and has done so for the likes of K-Beta, Sketch, and Reef The Lost Cause.
On this cut, I am not sure, but I think he made the streets cry with this production. I love the sample to go along with the emcees verses narrating different stories of grief and pain.
This is the second single from Reel High which is tapped for a Spring 2013 release date.
Peet Caliber will be our final #FridayFeature of 2012. It was actually supposed to be go time in November but being from New Jersey and Hurricane Sandy derailed that plan. At any rate..,
Peet Caliber is another name I cam across on my inbox and when I first heard his cut Amoxicillin I was hooked. This was a man perfect for our Friday Feature. He gets after with a no frills approach and brings raw lyricism over big beats. And speaking of Hurricane Sandy, how about a little silver lining in it’s aftermath? Shadowboxing is certain to make heads nod with production from Luv Jonez. Spit game from Peet Caliber that puts the listener on straight survival mode.
I can’t wait to hear more material from this man. You can hear more every Friday in December!
Saw this cut had Yuri Beats behind the boards and thought I would give it once through. It’s different and that’s in a good way. The production is high on BPM and on energy. It really keeps you engaged and DVS proves to be an apt lyricist with an equally rapid fire delivery.
This cut will be appearing on his upcoming project, DVTV.
The good homie, D. Strong shot this track over to me via Twitter. C.A.S.H is composed of D. Strong and Wildelux and has a hard edged, street flavor. The production on this banger is made courtesy of Lafayette Ave. The C.A.S.H EP is dropping in 2013 so if you are liking the sound of this, I am sure you will be all over that.
