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.
Single You Out: Tone – It’s All Love (prod. by Mr. Green)

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.

Single You Out: Alterbeats – Alter Ego (ft. Sadat X, A.G., and Lion of Bordeaux)
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!
Single You Out: Al-One – Eviction Notice (ft. Goldini Bagwell & Sapient)

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.
Single You Out: M-Dot – B-Sting
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.

Single You Out: Shabaam Sahdeeq x Eddie B – Futuristic (ft. Smoke Dza) (prod. by Harry Fraud)
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.

Single You Out: Critcal – The Difference (ft. Tzarizm)

New music from Creative Juice’s own, Critical. The production on this joint is manufactured by Tzarizm. I love the horns on the track and Critical bodies the beat as he differentiates himself from his ‘competition’ or lack there of. This is another artist that heads need to check for off a very talented roster. This is the first single off his forthcoming Quarantine project. Can’t wait…
Single You Out: Quite Nyce – I’m Feelin Myself (prod. by Soulslicers)
Quite Nyce is set to release his latest EP, Cautious, on June 13th, which is just under a week away. That’s a nice surprise. But what makes it even better is learning that Swiss beatmakers, the Soulslicers, are behind the boards for the entire project! That’s going to make this project extra special. That’s one of my favorite production teams right now.
This song is hot. You gotta love the flow Quite Nyce has on this track and the sample and beat the Soulslicers utilized.

Single You Out: BURNTmd -Smooth Criminal Part II (ft. Craig G and DJ Grazzhoppa)

New collaborative joint featuring Craig G from BurntMD’s forthcoming album, Not So Black & White. I am excited to hear what this album has to offer. I have been listening to BurntMD for a few years now and my own point of view is that he is severely underrated, which really makes the collabo with Craig G appropriate because I think he has been under appreciated throughout his career.
Single You Out: Mcnastee – Bury Me

It’s more music for the fam at Never So Deep. McNastee’s Runaway Train Of Thought is dropping in a week so you are going to want to check that out. The project is totally produced by Sutter Kain. If you like a rock/metal influence in your hip hop…you are going to love this joint.
