When I listened to this track for the first time it was one of those ever-so rare “Oh shit!” moments. You think you’ve heard it all from Apathy at this point but then he just out does himself, this time over an immaculate Stu Bangas beat. This is simply just beautiful and they have an album dropping on December 9th, so be on guard for that.
Single You Out: 38 Spesh x Harry Fraud – Speshal (ft. Stove God Crooks)
Harry Fraud and 38 Spesh linking up sounds like a total win. And not only do they have this single, but they have a new project coming out November 18th, Beyond Belief. And that joint should make it on everyone’s calendar to cop.
Speshal features a laid back guitar lick induced track from Fraud and guest bars from Stove God Crooks. Definitely vibing off of the sound.
Single You Out: Benny Slumz x Tone Spliff – Act Accordingly
This is a choice track from Tone Spliff and Benny Slumz collaborative effort, From The Slumz. Act Accordingly is that joint from the album. The beat, the scratching, and these bars will have you rewinding this track often. Really dope song from a dope EP that everyone should check.
Single You Out: Skeezo & Whip Beats – Old Habits
I know alot of you are not familiar with Skeezo, but this guy is a consummate emcee who has the complete gift. And in the year 2022 we are seeing a resurgence from this talented artist. Backed with some dark heat rocks from producer, Whip Beats, Skeezo is heading back into your ear drums and staking a claim. This bass line with the guitar licks spells the trouble needed to get our emcee into his “old habits”. This song comes equipped with toe tags as bodies are bound to be caught!
New album, Return Of The Bad Guy, coming next month!
Single You Out: Snotty – Real Love (prod. by Brisk Fingaz)
You know what time it is! It’s time for the Big Umbrella! And Snotty knows how to deliver a high level of potenecy in a short period of time. And when he rocks over this Brisk Fingaz beat, it sounds like a dusty jazz club vibe with tales from our emcee taking front and center on a smoke filled stage. Sleep not!
Single You Out: Maze Overlay – Hardbody Arts (prod. by Slang Hugh)
Maze Overlay coming on strong in 2022. His latest album produced by Farmabeats, AZTECAZ, is some straight fire. And on Hardbody Arts, prod by Slang Hugh, he picks right up where he left off. He has a really nice flow that you can really appreciate over this rhythm that just snakes through your eardrums. Overlay is one to watch from here on out, really showing his talent for the world to see.
Single You Out: Serge Severe – Again
Serge Severe is back at the mic once again, and catching his second wind and seizing his opportunity as he drops the new single, Again. Using a familiar Wu-Tang instrumental as the song’s crux, Severe gets reborn and is hyper focused on making the most of his talent and music career allowing the listener to follow along bar by bar.
Single You Out: Rock – Shark Tank (ft. Steel x Ruste Juxx)
New single from Rock’s upcoming album, Ether Rocks. Shark Tank features Boot Camp bars a plenty from Rock, Steel, and Ruste Juxx over some violin inspired boom bap from producer Ron Browz who produces the enitre forthcoming project. This joint is as tough as you would expect when hearing this line up, and I anticpate more of the same from the album. It’s an auto-cop.
Single You Out: King Ralph – Vietnam
I don’t think enough people talk about King Ralph in the music biz. Everything I hear from him as an artist is really dope. So here I am trying to shed light.
I have elected to share the track, Vietnam, from his recent album, Fuck Babylon. It’s short but he takes this bass line and just runs it for a little over a minute. His flow and wordplay are spot on and I hope people start to see this skill level.
Check out his most recent and past project if you are an unbeliever.
Single You Out: Lunar Heights – Immortals (ft. Casual)
This is definitely a track that should garner more attention across the board. Lunar Heights teams up with Hiero legend, Casual, over some sonically special production from Reverb.
Casual is one of those emcees who just sounds timeless. He sounds just as good today as 1994. And he demonstrates barbarian bars on this joint. But Lunar Heights members, Spear Of The Nation and Jern Eye each drop some truly spectacular verses. Very impressive on every level.
A joint that every hip hop head can enjoy.
