Here’s a dope cut I wanted to share from Gillateen and Sultan Mir’s project, The Wrench: Tighten Up. I really enjoy the way Mir flipped the Ruelle song, Hero on a hip hop level. He’s at the top of his game for sure. Gillateen also sounds razor sharp over this track. It’s a song about the come-up! I am sure you will enjoy.
Here’s a dope cut from Mykill Miers new EP, Crime Stories! This whole project is conceived as a storytelling revolving around multiple characters of the same plot. It’s really well done conceptually and musically. The single, Crime After Crime, can easily be taken out of the fold and stand on its own. The production is impressive, that Biggie sample is one of the best uses of his likeness in a looooong time! Killed it!
Kore of the revered EMS camp releases an uptempo head-nodding party anthem as a single for his forthcoming album, KOREiculum, which is due out on October 31st. It’s short but clever and to the point metaphor for an evening of chasing the ladies.
DJ Illegal and Side Effect have a project dropping on Halloween called Musica De Los Muertos, and Flowers On Your Grave give you the first dark and ominous offering from the album. It sounds completely dope to me.
I have quite a few Side Effect projects and he is definitely underrated in my opinion. He always delivers a premium product.
Falconcrest lets loose another cut entitled, Northern Peninsula. The beat from Smokeshop and Dnte is at times haunting and lingering and at other times triumphant which I am sure is the point. It’s the ebbs and flows of life made to art in song. The flows and lyricism of Falconcrest prove they are on the trimphant side of that artistic coin. Check it!
I’ve been looking out for music from Frank B. for years. He released a single about 10 months ago and I have been fiending for an album. Maybe we are getting closer with the release of his latest single, Don’t Go, featuring Lil Fame and Git Beats. This is just a heatrock and I would expect nothing less.
I was just asking about this project the other day and it appears that the Grime Lords are dropping Wimbledon Dons, on October 10th so we are just a few days away from this goodness. Everything I have heard from Born Unique and Pete Twist has been absolute fire and the track Shyne, featuring Milano Constatine and Recognize Ali is exactly that…fiya! The cut has some tough bars, which you undoubtedly expect with this line up and Twist can certainly lace the bangers. Make no mistake about it, when this project drops, it’s going to drop heavy!
Here’s some newness from one of my favorite artists who we simply don’t hear enough from. Snake Hollywood just has one of strongest voices and presence when it comes rocking a mic, and sometimes we forget that, until we hear him yet again. Well here he is rocking over a banging production from NYBangers along with emcees Mic Geronimo and Metaphor The Great. See if you hear what I hear…the extension of a masterpiece being formed.
New music from John Jigg$ featuring N.B.S. rocking over some soulful production from Supa Dave. Jigg$ is having a stellar year musically and you can’t go wrong linking up with the rhyme vets from Boston. All in all, this is pretty stellar.
Matlock and Dreamtek are collaborating under the new pseudonym of The Cult Leaders and they are making some great music as far as I am concerned, with their release of the single War On Drugs. The song narrates the use of all different type of narcotics by the two emcees over this 60s (I am guessing here) rock infused rhythm. It’s really dope all the way around.
Let’s hope we get more of this!
