Single You Out: El Gant – Pageants (ft. Ras Kass) (prod. by Marco Polo)

New single out from lyrical powerhouse, El Gant, called Pageants. The cut features other acclaimed talent in the legendary Ras Kass and Marco Polo on the boards. There is a lot of weight on this track so to speak.

The production endeavers to be a little soulful as the emcees forsake the “pageantry” of today’s game for the roots of that made them want to be artists and emcees in the first place.

This single will be found on the upcoming El Gant album, O.S.L.O., which will be out in September!

Single You Out: ZaZa The God – Bronx (ft. Almighty Gawdflow)

ZaZa The God…remember this name. This is the second track I have heard from this year and this guy’s got the “it”. He’s got a commanding presence on the mic and he assaults his verses like few others can. The beat selection he is using just bangs and this joint, Bronx, with Almighty Gawdflow is touuuuugh. The production from Tokyio Shrympz delivers this heat with strings and a heavy beat, while ZaZa and Gawdlow with similar styles, body it!

New album on the way and I am going back and checking for his older material!

Single You Out: M-Dot x Apollo Brown – Done

All I can saw here…is…WOW. Obviously, I am a huge fan of M-Dot. I showcase pretty much everything he puts out because he’s that good and consistent. But I can say without as much as a waver that this is one of his BEST cuts…EVER. This is a shining moment of 2022. M-Dot has worked with alot of dope producers, but man, how he graces this amazing Apollo Brown production is other worldly. And content wise, he puts today’s game on full display and roasts it. Illustrating all the shortcuts and smoke and mirrors that today’s artists utilize save for talent, and fall flat on their face.

…I’m just shinging light like God on the first day…

Single You Out: Whip Beats – Word On The Street (ft. Sean Price x Skeezo)

No matter how much time has passed since Sean Price’s passing, it remains refreshing to hear him on a project so many years later, and serves as a ever present reminder as to what a gift he is. Plus you also hear from the homie Skeezo, and it’s been a minute since Ive heard him bless a mic, and he gives it the royal treatment.

The production is handled by France’s own, Whip Beats. And he has a new dropping next week according to sources.

Single You Out: DJ Concept x Ghetto – Antiproiettile

I know who DJ Concept is. He’s been doing this for a long time and at a high level. But I was not familiar with Ghetto as an emcee, but I got familiar really quick. This is simply an ill combination. These beats with the lyrical artistry is nothing short of immaculate. And if you love this track (my favorite), you need to cop the full project, Ghetto Concepts. You will have no regrets. This is one of the best releases of 2022 up to this point.
