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.
Rico James enlists lyrical powerhouses, Copywrite, Double AB, and M-Dot to spit over his production on Gold Medal Sh!t. This is the first single from his upcoming project, Language Of The Spirits. The production is methodically entrancing as the lyricists flex some prose showcasing why they are are the top of their game.
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.
Daniel Son is on a run (like a five year run) as he just dropped his full length solo, Bush Doctor, just a few weeks ago and now he links up with producer Michaelangelo for another project, 26th & Ocean, to keep the fans fiending. And he hasn’t lost a step in the least. Daniel Son sounds dope over any production but this really is a great fit.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
