Single You Out: AWKWORD – Doh

 

AWKWORD shot this over to me while I was driving around town and finally had a chance to give it a listen.  It’s definitely impressive.   This is a little different than what I am used to from AWKWORD.   His flow is more laid back and deliberate on this joint and it plays very well over Clementino’s production which has a player piano type vibe going.  This really was not at all what I envisioned the song to sound like based upon the Homer Simpson artwork.   That is deceptive…haha.    This song will be dropping on Dope Music Blog Presents: The Cho$en Few

Peep the freshness…

Single You Out: KonSICKwence – Ars Poetica (prod. by Skip Sanders)

 

All I can say is wow…wow…one of the best debuts I have heard while running HHD.  This beat by Skip Sanders is amazing!  The guitar, the smooth jazzy tones, and the hip hop samples chopped up  just transport the listener and KonSICKwence isn’t just delivering random bars.  He has tightly woven wordplay.  This is a MUST SHARE track!

I walk the road less travelled until the world buries me / And I don’t give a fuck about how you’re comparing me

This is off of their album Utah.Jazz which I haven’t had a chance to listen to but will get on it shortly because this track made my week.

Dro Pesci & Infamous Haze – Broken Language 2K12 (ft. Ruste Juxx) (Video)

I don’t know why but this is always one beat I want to hear how people rock over.   Obviously no one is going to top the original but it’s always interesting to hear what kind of wordplay people are going to come up with .

This one features Ruste Juxx who has been doing all kinds of damage in 2012.   He has been relentless.  He is teamed up with Dro Pesci who’s project this song will appear on.  That project is entitled The Sitdown which has no said date.  I think the emcees certainly do this track some justice.

Single You Out: Doujah Raze – Left Out (prod. by Shuko)

 

I love the fact (or maybe I hate it) that people don’t know who Doujah Raze is.  This man has been around for a long while and just been on hiatus for a while.  He’s originally from the VA area and was putting out 12″ records when the indie scene was still developing and as I recall he was a part of that Rawkus 50.

But lets get current,  he’s got a new album dropping in a couple of weeks entitle The Eighth House. If this song proves a proper sampling for what the rest of the album is going to sound like, I think everyone should want to cop.   Shuko provides another stalwart production to add to his resume and Raze spits some illness in his gruff baritone.  Peep!

Single You Out: Planetary – Where I Left Off (prod. by Alkota)

Planetary has been a busy man as of late.  He had the project with Dee Metto within the last couple of months and has dropped a few singles for a variety of projects along with the Outerspace joint from last week.

Well, this banger from alkota is going to surface on his next mixtape, Camouflage Everything.  The production is big and robust, being more of composition than just a production.  Planetary eats this kind of beat up dropping fiery lines, tough lyricism, and sharp metaphors.  It appears to me that Planetary is going on an onslaught right now…stay out of his way and get behind him!

Single You Out: The Red Giants – What Do I Do? ft. Von Pea (of Tanya Morgan)

The Red Giants new album, Supercharged, just dropped a week ago, and What Do I Do?  is the latest single from the project.  I missed posting it last week before the album came out and was reminded how good it was when I was listening to the album today.  After one listen of the album, I have to say it’s one of the most musically dynamic projects this year.  It has great pace and diversity along with that thing called talent to back it.

Single You Out: Little Vic – Free Fall

Man, Little Vic is one of my favorite artists.  I can’t wait for his elusive new album to drop.  I say elusive because Each Dawn I Die was from 2006 so it’s really long overdue.  And say what you will, but his previous album was a personal classic. But enough reminiscing…

The song Free Fall is off of that new project, so I now know for sure that it will be dropping.   The cut is self produced and has almost an ethereal feel about it.  It’s both melodic and casual.  But it’s Vic’s view on life and his incorporation of his own self in his music that really makes this song choice.  So enjoy this…then hope and pray with me that his album drops sooner rather than later.

Single You Out: Peter Leo – Today Is Not Your Day

 

First off, this is a great name for a song.  Peter Leo prepares you for the fact that “today is not your day” over some superlative production from Sickness.  I had never heard of Leo until DJ Mickey Knox snuck his music into my inbox.  Really dope flow and a song we can keep in rotation for an indefinite period of time.  Everything comes together on this joint, the boom bap drums, the cascading electronica, the chorus, and Leo’s fire verses.  I will be on the look out for more music…

Single You Out: Minlus & McCracken – Wait A Minute (prod. by and cuts by illMEASURED)

 

I put illMEASURED among the most talented producers in the game.  His talent as a beatsmith really is unparalleled.  He certainly is the most slept on.   He sent me this joint that he produced for Minlus & McCracken (yeah, I didn’t know those names either) and it’s just more ear candy for the day.  The emcees hold the fort down with good exchanges and a dope chorus.  I am not sure where this track will wind up so get it while the getting is good!
