Single You Out: Double A.B. – All G (ft. A.L.)

It’s been a looooooooong minute since we have heard some music from Double A.B., but we don’t forget good music around these parts. This emcee has bars and has made some great music, and is apparently STILL making great music.

All G, has a mellow vibe with the twangy guitar taking front and center of the production by long time collaborator, Dub Sonata. And that chill vibe, is the perfect segue for Double A.B. to introduce, or reintroduce himself to fans. Rapping alongside our featured emcee, is A.L., who also drops a dope sixteen.

His new album, Devils & Drugs, drops on April 18th, so stay tuned for that.

Single You Out: Tones x Pazi – Boom

Tones is someone I am keeping an eye out for lately. He had a dope project out last year with DJ Matty Lite called Sacred. That’s something you should check out by the way. And here, with producer Pazi, you get more of that fire and energy, served up with a healthy dope of boom bap. Love the lyricism, production, and scratches. You should too!

Single You Out: Casual x Dead Perry – Never Say It To Us REMIX ​(​DPV) (ft. Izrell)

Second track I have heard from Casual and Dead Perry’s forthcoming album, The Art Of Reanimation, and these guys are two for two with making a slapper. Never Say It To Us, is actually a Dead Perry rendering of a track from Casual’s last album, Big Head Science (which is really good and I listen to a lot). I am fond of Perry’s dark touch on the production, and Casual just keeps getting better year after year.

Single You Out: Casual x Dead Perry – Raw (P-Dirt, Rockness Monsta, DJ Jason D)

Casual continues to show talent and longevity as he releases yet another dose of dope hip hop music. I am really feeling this production from Dead Perry here as well. It has this dark and hypnotic vibe and those guitar licks give it a tinge of a rock element. At the very end of the track, DJ Jason D delivers a quick onslaught of scratching in some dope samples, reminding us not so subtlely that this is at it’s heart a dope hip hop song. Rockness Monsta and Casual split up the mic duties and continue to spit the stuff of legends.

Great material that leaves us waiting for the album, The Art Of Reanimation, to drop on January 28th.

Single You Out: Xcel x CLOAQxDAGGER – Tylenol (ft. Anoyd)

I definitively want more people to peep on what’s going on with this project right here. Xcel and CLOAQxDAGGER have cooked up a really dope EP entitled, Godspeed. I knew the production team had been putting out some really dope production, and gave this a listen on the strength of that, and the project is quite dope. It also turns out that the emcee, Xcel, is a first rate wordsmith. I was really impressed with all things from the EP, and here they team up with Anoyd for my favorite joint from the project, Tylenol. Check it out, cop, enjoy, and thank me later!
