I like getting things like this in my email. You know…dope music type things. I have no information on the artist Redhead but the song really speaks volumes. I truly like everything about this song. The production is nice (Ratatat) and the verses are well thought out. A guest shot from Laelo Hood does nothing but help. If you like this cut, it is off his mixtape which just dropped (yet to check it out), The Schemata.
Are you looking for something mellow yet introspective this morning? A.L. Laureate has got you covered. It’s a deep song so make sure you pick a quiet corner to listen to this for the first time. DJ Frantic is on the beat. Laureate’s new album, Closed Eyed Insomnia is on it’s way.
First batch of dopeness released from Celph Titled and Buckwild’s follow up album, Nineteen Ninety MORE. Which drops next week. Yes, you heard correctly, NEXT WEEK. It’s vintage vibe with with that lyrical twist. Be sure to check out the album next week!
Here’s the second dose of Jon Connor I promised. This is a good Valentine’s Day song. It’s for those of you in (or recently out of) a relationship where things never get better and each day seems like the last. Nothing changes, thusly leading into the Vicious Cycle.
I am pretty sure I own all of Hasan Salaam’s discography. I have been following his career for a while now and he remains an artist who not only is lyrically gifted but can also convey meaning and power in his rhymes. His new album, Music Is My Weapon, is slated to drop on 12/06/2011. All the proceeds from this album’s sales will be donated to the It Takes A Village Foundation. You can’t get anymore high-minded than that. Props!
This list of emcees is the “in-list” right now. I mean these guys are all very sought after guest shots right now. This is that ‘classic’ type of posse cut right here. The beat is titillating but not overbearing with the keys. This is the first single off of J57’s forthcoming EP, 2057. You know we will be watching out for that!
You can’t go wrong with some new Blame One! (Albeit with old artwork featured above) Really feeling this new track. I am not sure what project (if any) this is off of, but it’s definitely dope. Check it out, Lexzyne on the production tip!
Tight cover for this single. I really wish Breaking Point would drop or had a concrete release date. Emilio just keeps bringing gem after gem to the table. In terms of intensity and emotion, I don’t think anyone puts more behind his bars than Emilio Rojas.
This may be my favorite solo cut from Koncept. It’s produced by Tranzformer, who produced his latest EP as well.
I heard C-Rayz Walz talking about this on twitter but I never really wrapped my mind around the project…until I just heard it. Wow this track is dope. I need to find out more about this project. Until then…treat your ears to something special.
