It’s been a little while since I have heard from new from MidaZ The Beast, and it’s always a good thing when he graces these pages. This time he flips a high degree of skill over a soulful production from Sharp. I am really enjoying the feel of this one. And some more good news, we are going to get more of it in a little over a week on July 5th when the pair release their project, #LIVENIGGARAP
Oh shit! This is a track that is not to be missed! This beat by DC The Midi Alien is simply insane. I love all the different sounds he gathers around these snapping drums, most noticably that guitar riff! And Bugout (Granite State) lyrically destroys the track around scratches from DJ Myth. I mean these bars are super slick!
This is a Top 25 track this year…no doubt in my mind. It has everything a hip hop fan could want. And the best part is, it’s just the tip of the iceberg coming off the trio’s collaborative project, 69 Berkshire which is due out in the fall.
The venerable, honorable, and supremely talented Shabaam Sahdeeq has a new project in the works produced exclusively produced by Nick Wiz. And for their lead single they bring in UG and DV Alias Khryst. The results go heavy and you have been fore warned. You don’t want to test this dopeness. So many years in the and dope projects to their credit, the skills and sound are still sharper than ever.
Here’s a track from Tones and DJ Matty Lite’s forthcoming EP, Sacred, which is due out on July 2nd. Immortal is some grimy introspectiveness.. Just man giving everything he has to his cause over some hard hitting drums and strings. I am definitely feeling this cut.
More Chuck N Lock, you sa y? Yes please! The duo is back with some poetic introspectiveness over some horns from producer, Ecto 84. The beat really allows you to be entranced by the lyricism and pick up on all the metaphorical nuances. Chuck N Lock have a way of phrasing things that make listeners have “aha” moments. They are crafty lyriciststs. For instance…
“I realize I want a lot in life, and not my lot in life”
“I want to be a book worm, not a larva in a kindle.”
A dope track from Jay Royale produced by Stu Bangas and featuring Willie The Kid. This joint has everything with that knocking production and scratching from Bangas, the ultra smooth refined flow of Willie The Kid, and the hard hitting rhymes from Royale. This is a major win for listeners.
Another dope track from the man, Ren Thomas. I love the distorted guitar sample from Nem Nieves. It’s different and instantly grabs your attention and Thomas flows like few others. He has bars for days. I love his flow, along with his creative punchlines, and humor. This joint is coming off of their future collaborative project, Thirty Thr33.
You know the deal! If you see Daniel Son on a track, best believe I am copping and this is no different. This is a collaborative joint with German producer, Renji56, and it’s really dope. The beat has a subdued simplicity but keeps the head nodding with the synth and drums. And Daniel Son NEVER fails to deliver the goods.
Used to sit around waiting for signs stressin’ / You gotta get up and get it…number one life lesson
Ramson Badbonez is a London base producer, and has an album dropping on August 27th entitled, Lead By Example. And here we have the title track featuring Recognize Ali, Skyzoo, and Juxx Diamondz. Heavy on the snare and horn, with this bevy of emcees, this joint is a sure thing. Definitely looking forward to the full length later this summer.
Ohhhh damn…you all are not ready for this…but nonetheless here it is. RJ Payne is one of the most sought over collaborative talents right now. His pen game is just ruthless. And here you have The Tangiers (Benefit and Kaine) inviting him along with M-Dot to trade bars over a track that is also produced by M-Dot. The end result is just spectacular. This joint is exceptional and gets you hype on the abundance of rhyme and rhythm.
This track is coming from The Tangiers forthcoming album, The House Always Wins.
