Single You Out: Brown Bag All Stars – Crumbling Down

What’s up with the Brown Bag Allstars, you say?  So much that it’s hard for your humble hip-hop blogger/fan to keep up with.   Everyone’s got side projects going on, whether they have just recently been released or to be released.  I am thinking of putting out a monthly column entitled “What’s Going On With The Brown Bag?”  Well, for this moment, J57 has released this single entitled Crumbling Down.  The joint is produced by Mr. Green.  It’s definitely a more sobering joint but fresh nonetheless.  The skills in this crew are really second to none right now.  Be on the lookout for a double disc project of rare and unreleased material dropping on May 17th.

Single You Out: The Regiment – The New Danger (ft. Kaimbr)

The Regiment are on fire right now.  They have already released a mixtape entitled Back To Lyrics which had a bunch of gems on it.  And they come back with this track that features Kaimbr who is currently receiving accolades for his own album, The Alexander Green Project.  They are now signed to HIPNOTT records, Kevin Nottingham’s label with an album slated to drop later this year.  They released an album in 2009 that I copped and listened to once that I think I should revisit as well entitled, A New Beginning. Makin’ moves…  Download the single below.

Single You Out: Evil Woman (ft. Sab The Artist)

 

I spotted this over a 2Dopeboyz a few days ago and found this track be so exceptional that I needed to add it.  The sample in the production is really nice.  This is definitely something I can find myself playing throughout the year.  Great replay value.   I am aware of Big Jess and his group Unknown Prophets but I never really listened to them.  This song is a nice intro.  And come to find out, you can download his two last albums for free on his website.  I am listening to them now and I like what I hear.

Single You Out: Kyle Hubbard – Around The Way

I posted on Kyle Hubbard’s release, Tomorrow In Retrospect, a couple of months ago.  I was encouraged to hear some great hip hop coming out of H-Town.   I thought Kyle was a lyrical breath of fresh air for Texas.  He sent me an email with his latest effort, Around The Way, produced by Djay Cas.

Now even though, I liked Kyle’s last release, I am still dubious of most things that hit my inbox.  I only post things on the blog that I absolutely love, regardless of past efforts.  Well, I should stop being so cynical.  Kyle puts together a terrific ‘Ode To Houston’, and he does so inclass.  Kyle, in every track I have heard, never dumbs his music down.  He has that unique blend of being able to keep his sound close to the streets but with an elevated mind.  Check it!

Single You Out: Mic Write x Blaksmith – H.A.W.K.

Ummm…yeah this track definitely qualifies as some serious heat.  This is just a great song.  Dr. B is on the beat.  Mic Write and Blaksmith from Cold Men Young are on the mic.  The chorus on this track is perfect.  I love the hook.  You can add this to a short list of 2011 favorites right now.  The acronym stands for (Heal Apathy With Knowledge).  This track is everything that is good with the art right now.  Great rhymes, content, production, and chorus.  Couldn’t make a better song if you tried!

Single You Out: Memphis Reigns – Agnes In Wonderland Remix (ft. Marlon D x Sesy Basila)

Memphis said he was going to leak me a track from his forthcoming album, Bittersweet.  And when I downloaded, let me tell you I was just blown away.  The content alone really moved me.  The way each emcee addresses the topic of addiction is thought provoking stuff.  I am really proud to be able to bring you the Agnes In Wonderland Remix ft. Marlon D and Sesy Basila.  The production is done by Remshot and sounds impervious to criticism to me.  Check it out, download it, and pass it onto all your friends. Surely they want some good music!
