Finally a good hip hop song in my inbox. I can always rely on the BBAS fam to cheer me up with some new music. Tenacity and Gameboi join forces with J57 who once again laces a beat that really is heads and tails above industry standards.
Apparently, Tenacity and J57 have an EP coming out this summer. Cheers to that!
Featuring L.E.G.A.C.Y. Pt. 3 will be out on Monday and Soulogik’s new album, Cabin Fever, will be out on July 30th. I appreciate any track I hear L.E.G.A.C.Y. on. I like this track in particular. It has a 1920s club feel, but maybe that’s just me. Oh well. Dope is dope.
BioLogic stumpled across my blog and decided to submit his project for me to listen to. I did. It’s good. He is a good writer and has good wordplay. I am not going to have a chance to review it, but I wanted to pass it on to my readership and so I selected my two favorite cuts from the album to “Single Out”…enjoy.
I had my reservations based upon the track’s title, but I was once again wrong. Never judge a book by it’s cover. 14KT is on the production which puts that new school, hip hop twist on a childhood favorite. Calliko can also spit some bars. Definitely somebody you should put on your radar. He’s supposed to put out an album entitled Terminal Dos this summer.
I am from Texas, but I feature very little talent from the state. Aside from Kyle Hubbard and a handful of other artists, I just don’t recognize it that much. But I give everything a fair shake, hence I bring you The Culprit. It was an awkward name, and I was expecting something mediocre at best, but this joint resonated with me. Which means I found it to be dope. I enjoy the production and The Culprit has a nice flow and demeanor. So I tip my hat to you…I will be checking for some more music from The Culprit.
New joint from Problemaddicts founder, Tone. Tone was a part of one of my favorite projects from last year, The Shot Heard Around The World. He`s a dope wordsmith and this time he flips his heartfelt rhymes on top of some Mr. Green production. This song is off of his forthcoming album, ADMITONE.
This is the second single from Alterbeats forthcoming album, The French Revolution. That project is dropping on June 26th. Sadat X and AG rep on Alter Ego and sound impeccable. I love the sound of the horn throughout the track. It has that dusty-jazz appeal, though still remaining gritty. I can’t wait for this project to drop. It’s going to be a banger!
Another nice joint released from Portland’s Sandpeople crew. This song is lifter from Al-One’s forthcoming album, #Work. I am really glad to see a lot of music coming from the camp in 2012. Eviction Notice features Goldini Bagwell and Sapient.
While I try to play catch up and review M-Dot’s latest release, Layer Cake, I thought I would break you off with a single from that project. JoniZ is on the boards.
Sometimes there is so much beauty to behold in the most simple of tracks. Harry Fraud does it again. The acoustic guitar and the hand claps lead the way for our emcees to release verbal fury. And I can think of few others that have been on such a roll as Shabaam Sahdeeq. He has been ripping verses better than at any other point in his career. He, Eddie B, and Harry Fraud have a project dropping soon entitled, The Wolves.
