Single You Out: Pop Buchanan – The Promise Land

Pop

I am late on this track from Pop Buchanan but it’s one that I am obligated to get out to you guys because this track just has a unique and yet dope vibe.  The production from illegal Spiegel embraces the spiritual element and has a very organic feel too it.  Buchanan then hits you with unabashed approach of his take on black history and community.  His mic prescence is strong and his message is more so.

Check out his new project, Ancestral Drums!  If it’s even half as good as this cut we are all in for a project to leave in our rotation for the year.   Really dope!

Single You Out: Ca$sablanca -Chopsticks x Bulls!t (ft.Killa Kali x Nowaah the Flood)

ChopsticksandBullshit

New, new from Ca$ablanca entitled Chopsticks x Bullsh!t and it features more dope bars from accomplices Killa Kali and Nowaah The Flood.    This song is quite ill, and I wish I could knock this in the whip this morning!  This beat by CapChino is fantastic.  I love the sound crafted here as it knocks as hard as you would expect with sixteens from the aforementioned artists.

What I am really loving is the work ethic, coupled with the talent.  Ca$ablanca is on a tear!

Shabaam Sahdeeq – Graffiti The World (ft. El Da Sensei) (Video)

Shabaam Sahdeeq drops another video single from his album, Timeless: of the collection.    This time the subject is the art of graffiti and who better to share the mic duties on a track such as this, than El Da Sensei?  The two flip lines discussing their love for the art form over a high energy production from Jake Palumbo (who has been killing it lately).

Of note:  Sahdeeq directed the video himself.

Single You Out: Saipher Soze x Finn – Basquiat

Saipher Soze

I could not wait, nor could I resist in sharing something from Saipher Soze and Finn’s new project, Kanibul Rising.   This album is destined for big things.  I copped it as soon as I knew it dropped (thank’s bandcamp for always keeping me alert).  This project is impressive from start to finish.

I can’t really pick a favorite track right now, but you can’t go wrong with Basquiat.   Soze and Finn put something together that you are going to need to cop.  I am probably going to have to leave this on all day.

Single You Out: Recognize Ali – Holy War (ft. Vinnie Paz)

Recognize

Recognize Ali links up with Vinnie Paz to exchange sixteens over a banger from B-Sun.  I really enjoy the guitar sample used by B-Sun on this track, and DJ TMB really adds some excellent scratching to the joint.  And let’s face it, Ali has become one of the preeminent names in hip-hop, while Paz just shows he’s only getting better with his now legendary grind.  Excellent hip-hop.

New project, Recognition, is coming…when…I know not.
