My admiration for John Jigg$ as an emcee is no secret. This guy is an exceptional artist. Here he goes in on some start and ominous production from The Heretic and jxkecregan for a more sinister track. But the result remains the same…flames.
Single You Out: Wais P. & Pete Twist – Coup D’ Etat (ft. Eto)
New joint from the forthcoming album by Pete Twist, entitled Hans Gruber, and I can’t wait to get my hands on that project. For those that don’t know the name, Twist has been crafting bangers for a while most notably in his partnership with Born Unique. I love his body of work, and I am glad he has something dropping with his name on it.
This song with Wais P and Eto, is another example of Twist’s exceptional skill as a producer. It has that dark and ominous feel with the guitar strings giving it that extra touch. And the emcees use their talents almost as a menacing whisper over the track. Really love this song.
Single You Out: Rob Cave – Respect Wildlife (prod. by Small Professor)
Rob Cave and Small Professor connect for some smooth story telling vibes with their new track, Respect Wildlife. It’s a dope narrative of coming up with little but appreciating alot and respecting the order of things and the surroundings. I am sure you will enjoy if….
Don’t choke on your hopes, and heed the advice, be humble in the jungle and respect the wildlife.
Single You Out: Cashus King – Sit Calm (ft. Jeff Johnson II)
Cashus King links up with Jeff Johnson II for a really fun and dope track that lyrically incorporates an assortment of sitcoms from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. And when we use the word “fresh”, this is a track that has appropriate usage. It’s just refreshing to hear a light topic executed in such dope fashion.
Single You Out: Zaza God – Heard You (ft. Pro Dillinger & Grea8Gawd) (Prod. Irie-1)
This song is THE joint right now. Wow. I really feel this jazzy boom bap beat from Irie-1. It really hits hard, yet has a melodic appeal. Zaza God, Pro Dillinger, and Grea8gawd all drop some stellar sixteens, but the opening verse (Is this Zaza God? I am guessing so) is a superlative introduction to this artist. From the jump, after I heard him flip the word “king” I was sold.
This is flames.
Single You Out: Comet – Closed Door Meetings
Comet is back with a single (that I missed), Closed Door Meetings, from his upcoming album, Authentic Kloth, with production from Swab. It’s that uncut realness that we would come to expect from Comet. Dope beat, samples, scratches, along with the lyricism give this track those hardened street edges that we love here.
And actually, you can cop the CD from Bandcamp right now and this will hit DSPs in about a week.
Single You Out: Planet Asia & Snowgoons – Metabolism (ft. Flash (N.B.S.)
Planet Asia and The Snowgoons have an album dropping? This is the second single? Well, hell yes! Great combination. One of the best emcees to ever do it teaming up with one of the most influential production units of their time! Metabolism is more of a downtempo joint that allows the listener to focus on the wordplay of guest emcee, Flash (N.B.S.) and PA Medallions. Dope material as to be expected, and excited to see what these legends concoct by way of an album.
Single You Out: Sypooda – Fish Food Remix (ft. Rigz x Joey Majors)
Sypooda puts a twist on one of his tracks from his EP, Stolen Goods, pairing emcee Joey Majors along side the origina bars from Rigz. This beat is really dope. The cascading keys over these drums, and the very adept scratching. This is certified inferno! And don’t miss out on that EP…the whole thing is really dope. Diverse boom bap with some exceptional wordsmiths.
Single You Out: UNiK-StYleZ – More Style
We’ve got an uptempo and high octane single to share today from UNiK-StYleZ with whom I have some familiarity and may have a project or two in the library. Here he’s flexing his own lyrical dexterity over some production from Duzk Beats and cuts by one of the best in the business, DJ TMB. Enjoy for your listening pleasure.
Single You Out: Faf – Medaliano (ft. Planet Asia)
Really wanted to share this project from producer, Faf, entitled The Haymaker. It’s a really dope project that I stumbled across and listened to today. I strongly encourage you all to do the same. In order to prompt that listening pleasure, I am showcasing this joint he did with Planet Asia which is that necessary weekend fire. I love how he contorted this Indian music sample, and you can NEVER go wrong with a P.A. Flow. Never…
