Two of my favorite emcees made it on the cut together. It’s been way too long since I have heard either King Mez or Thee Tom Hardy on a track, nonetheless together. This track is spectacular. The production meshes with the title as it is spaced out. It’s the kind of music and rhymes that just transport you. Can’t wait to hear more…
The dynamic duo of Soul Khan and Akie Bermiss is back! Wellstone is the first single off of the Wellstone EP that is dropping on DJ Booth on March 12th (less than a week a way if you are indeed counting).
Deejay Element is on the beat and he gives this song a very melodic feel and blends all the sounds really well. Content wise Soul Khan narrates on the ills and the apathy of our political system and is held down by the vocals of Akie Bermiss on the hook.
Wonderful music…
I knew UG was making new music but had no ideas his partner in rhyme, Phantasm was still doing his thing. This joint is unexpected and exciting to hear. It has been a decade at least since we have heard from this team. Nick Wiz is back behind the boards now just as he was back then and he puts some heat behind this joint.
I hope to hear more.
I can’t lay enough praise down for what Falside does behind the boards. He is a top five producer commercial or independent, period. I love the way he chops up this sample while Romen Rock and Juan Deuce drop their bars. Juan Deuce and Romen Rok have contrasting styles which makes this joint all the better. That divergency plays well with the production. this song is dropping on the yet to be released, No Sweat Mixtape, from Juan Deuce.
New music featuring 2011 Artists of The Year, M-Dot. The lead artist is Busy Bars who also is a very apt lyricist. The production is on some crazy orchestration, meant to be chaotic. It all just goes together.
New Ruste Juxx material from his collaborative album with French producer Kyo Itachi. I like what I hear so far. Kyo Itachi’s production is different than what you usually hear Ruste Juxx spit on. The laid back guitar sample gives this a more laid back vibe. The new album, Hard Bodie Hip Hop, is out now in France and hope to see it available in the US soon.
Here is the first single off of PremRock and Willie Green’s remix album entitled PremRock & Willie Green: Reassembled. The original album made my Top 10 Albums Of 2011 list and I am thinking the ‘rearranged’ version of the album has the same potential. The remix here is done by Blockhead. This sounds a little more upbeat than the original version. I could almost tell this was a Blockhead production without seeing the credits. I really like this version. It’s a fun joint. The remix album drops March12th.
Don Streat bringing out that B’More fiya. He brought a few cohorts on this one with the beat laced by none other than !llmind and cutz by DJ Grazzhoppa. This one should knock in your system for more than just a few days.
Really becoming a fan of Sutter Kain and Never So Deep Records. His production is some of the best I have heard. He’s on par with some of the more recognized names in the game right now. Check out how he utilizes that “traitor” vocal sample. The emcees all go hard on the track. Can’t go wrong here.
