Pause Beats recruits some elite wordsmiths for his latest single, Change That. Destruct, Chaundon, and Kastaway drop some bars over a more laid back and jazzy vibe from producer Pause Beats. It sounds all good to me. I can’t wait for this man’s project to drop.
Single You Out: Gotham Green & Quickie Mart – Burn It Down (ft. Zeale, Jackie Tohn & Casey Abrams)
I am late to the party with this track but I wanted to share it with you anyway, just on the off chance you haven’t heard it yet. It’s one of my favorite tracks this year. DJ Quickie Mart puts together a superlative beat with congo/bongo percussion and the emcees all drop some nice gems on their verses. This song is just some feel good music with an uptempo vibe.
You can find this track on Haze Diaries Volume 4. It’s free and definitely worth your time and hard drive space.
Single You Out: DJ K.O. – Drunk Girls (ft. MadKem, Silent Knight & Jered Sanders)
New single from the EMPBeTheTeam album by DJ K.O. The emcees articulate stories about that girl who had a little too much to drink in the evening. The production mellow, perhaps even a little soulful, while lyrically it’s all just a little humorous to hear the emcees discussing their tales of the drunk girl.

Single You Out: Bekay – 15 Months Of Violins
Bekay has had enough! All the crazy thoughts going on in his head and the frustration of the last few months stored up, he goes for delf on his latest single. The song is edgy with no hook. Bekay just releases angst in the freshest way possible.
Enjoy…
Single You Out: Eff Yoo – RL Hunting Club (ft. Shaz Illyork and Starker)
The Legend Of The Gnome Sword needs to drop already! This is the third single we have featured and it too is very dope. It features one of the dopest artists out right now, Shaz Illyork. The production is low key but demonstrative enough so that the emcees all spit some heavy bars.
This is just the New York gritty we all need…

Single You Out: The Red Giants – Time 2 Roll
I still bump the last The Red Giants’ album, Chain Reaction. And this song proves to be a continuation of their past work. Jermiside is an extremely talented emcee with a quick delivery and concise wordplay that is always enjoyable. Brickbeats really shows out on the production though. He provides a bluesy hip hop vibe and switches up the beat periodically to keep the listener attentive.
The duo’s next project Supercharged will hopefully be hear soon…
Single You Out: RP – Faded
Local-Mu12 rep is back at it again with his single, Faded, off of his forthcoming album, The Crackpot Diaries. The song has a lot of kick (literally) with RP riding the rhythm of electronica and percussion. It’s a nice blend of boom-bap flavor and some edgier sounds. Peep.
Single You Out: F.Y.I. – 10 Worlds
While the chorus has something to be desired (in my opinion), this man can really spit some bars! I also am fond of this beat. This is a very good introduction to F.Y.I. I hope we can hear more from him in the near future.
Single You Out: 4th Assassin – Reservoir Dogs (ft. Faez One, Pryme Prolifik, Absoulut Karnage, Big O, Tha Soloist, and INF with cutz by DJ Madhandz)
4th Assassin posted this on his Twitter feed and I knew this was going to be nice. The guitar sample and piano keys are the perfect back drop for this posse cut. The samples chopped in are just icing on the cake. I am not sure if this joint will wind up on any project so be sure to enjoy it now.
