Really dope single coming through from the Below System Records camp! Pawz One, Mister CR, and Blu rocking over some dope production from John Henry. Each emcee launches sixteen shots at all those who are hitting you up with that tough talk and fraudulent ways. Really dope work!
I’ve been wanting to post about this new release from producer Fu Handz for a minute now and today is the day I get the word out. The production tandem released a project, done different a few weeks ago, and I was really impressed. A lot of dope emcees contributed to these eight tracks, and the production really stands out but perhaps the title track is the show stopper. This beat and vocal sample, are spot on, while emcees Planet Asia and Terror Van Poo drop sharp verses.
Don’t miss on this!
Lateb brings along friends Reks and M-Dot for his new single, Predators. And this track gives you the vibe that someone is following you, but when you turn around, and no one is there. The production from Anywaywell Beats and The Arcitype has so much texture and depth with various instrumentation and switch ups. Each emcee brings a not so subtle sixteen to increase the tension in their unique stylings. Something wicked this way comes!
Loving this single from Maze Overlay and ethemadassassin, Lo Jack. And one of the things I love is this Junior Makhno beat! I feel like it’s been a long while since I have heard from him, and he delivers the perfect “thrill of the hunt” beat, while the emcee nefariously plot their moves, taking what they want, and evading the authorities. Really dope cut!
Little Vic is back, and flexing talent and lyrical dexterity on his single. This joint has that has a “spaced out” sound utilizing sound effects that one would suppose from the Raytheon Don. The tracks sparse approach gives Vic the floor to lay bar after bar without chorus, making your brain do a few back flips as he connects ideas and concepts everso cleverly.
Loyalty Electric…will we see it? I hope so. I can’t wait for another Little Vic project!
Chuck N Lock are back for a new lyrical endeavor with their new Ca$hew laced single, Coriolis. The music is smooth, jazzy, and soothing. The lyricism is introspective and intricate. As artists they push boundaries of thought and language. I love hearing their insight come to life through music, and that my friends is the best way to describe the Chuck N Lock experience…personal insight through music.
The Blue Shell 2 album coming soon! Can’t wait!
Supreme Cerebral is just getting started for 2025. After releasing the incredibly dope album with Swab, Son Of Hannibal, he is right back at it! On the joint, Devils Playground, he gets straight to it with the often featured talent of Born Unique, and over a heater from one of our favorite producers, Level 13.
In an effort to step away from posting the same old, same old we want to bring you some talent you may not be quite familiar with…with a message you may not have heard. Hence, we want to show off the skills from Chicago’s own, Griffen. I’ve heard a few features and joints from him, and purchased his latest project, Effortless Pen Volume 2. There’s some really great music on this project, and Griffen shines as a writer. So please check out this project…my favorite track from the project is, Servitude which features Squirt ILL. The emcees address the state of hip hop and how artists are being compromised by an industry who cares less. Production from Custom Made!
Stu Bangas and Recognize Ali are linking up for another Guerilla Dynasty project, and that means there’s going to be blood on the way. When these guys connect it’s always problem, and for the track Guerillas they team up with hitters, Lord Goat and Born Unique. Each delivers a thump in the night to those listening. Nobody does “ominous” like Stu Bangas. He’s just mastered a sinister sound.
Guerilla Dynasty 3 drops on March 14th.
Reek Osama and Eto trade bars over a Work Scorsese soundscape. Shots and bars fly sixteen at a time on, Spilled Milk. The track is short yet razor sharp. Not for the faint of art. Don’t miss!
