V Don linking up with Ransom seems like a union of superpowers and it appears as though they have a new project dropping soon dopely titled, Chaos Is My Ladder. This single, Short Notice, is putting the listener on notice that something wicked this way comes. I think Ransom’s thoughtful provocation plays extremely way with V Don’s pensive soundscapes. This is going to be great! Guest bars provided by Lloyd Banks.
Single You Out: WateRR – Nobody Gone Stop Me
Nobody Gone Stop Me is a dope new single from the uber talented emcee, WateRR. This beat from DJ Phonz is really dope. That string sample is intoxicating. I love the uptempo vibe and WateRR takes on the beat effortlessly with his usual gusto as one of the most distinctive talents in the game. This is another sure shot!
Single You Out: Terror Van Poo x Vinny Idol – 12 Shots (ft. Leanah Cane)
Terror Van Pooh and Vinny Idol are back at it again, but really did they ever slow down? Emcee, Leanah Cane, also drops a quick sixteen over this frenetically paced production. The production actually gives the sense that verbal shots are being fired from all angles. Another dope track continues a track record where that has just become the expectation.
Single You Out: Rah Scrilla – Hustla (ft. Daniel Son)
Rah Scrilla links up with emcee’s emcee, Daniel Son, for his Profound79 produced single, Hustla. And this joint is glorious. The classical sample proves a powerful backdrop for this hustler’s anthem. Dope song.
Single You Out: Daniel Son – River Dogs (prod. by Itrak)
Another banger from one of the most consistent to do it, Daniel Son. River Dogs is dark in large part to Itrak’s murky production, but razor sharp with that lyricism. This song knocks and has your ears craving what’s next on deck. And you know it’s coming. The work.
Single You Out: One Be Lo – Suez Rode
One Be Lo has a new project out called, Songs Of Songs, which he is describing as a gift and a celebration of life. The project, consists of many sounds, layers, and frequencies. And it is quite literally a musical gift from him to you. It is free but I highly encourage you to support him for the talent that he is. He not only drops clever and poinant lyricism but self-produced the project.
I am choosing to share the track Suez Rode as I love how One Be Lo masterfully narrates the love of his surroundings to us over a production that is rich yet industrial.
Single You Out: Shabaam Sahdeeq x John Jigg$ – Tyrant
Damn. Here’s some really dope music from Shabaam Sahdeeq and John Jigg$ backed by a synth heatrock produced by DJ Goblin. This is really some gladiator / fight club music right here. These emcees are debunking the haters, ignoring the naysayers, and dropping the competition in their tracks. This is epic!
Fucking with Double S and John J will have your ass stuck between a rock in a hard place – John Jigg$
Single You Out: 38 Spesh x Harry Fraud – Band Of Brothers (ft. Benny The Butcher & Ransom)
38 Spesh and Harry Fraud have some heat coming in our direction with a new project dropping on November 18th entitled Beyond Belief. That union of talents seems like a no-brainer to purchase when it comes out. But then you add the talents of Benny The Butcher and Ransom to this single, and your pre-order should already be in.
The emcees spit about that exceptional comraderie over a melodious beat by Fraud. This track is one that you will rewind back several times. But that Ransom verse. Wow.
If you don’t bump into the devil three times a day, then you walking with him – Ransom
Single You Out: Hus Kingpin – Unrighteousness
New and ominous single from Hus Kingpin, produced by Mitch Shaffer off of his new project, My Beautiful Dark Wave Fantasy. This will be available everywhere on November 15th, but out now on Hus’ site. It’s dark and ominous hip hop which is right in our lane.
Single You Out: DRE Colombian x Ras Beats – Colombian Raw
I am running through this project, Crudo, from DRE Colombian and Ras Beats, and I am sorry it took me so long to get to this. This effort is strong, and has a powerful boom bap appeal. DRE Colombian sounds really raw and hungry on each track Ras Beats just keeps impressing with his production. He has become one of those producers where if you see his name on the credits, you just have to cop it. It’s non-negotiable.
Colombian Raw has a tinge of panic, a dose of grimy, and a potent portion of boom bap. Enjoy!
