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.
Single You Out: The Cult Leaders – War On Drugs
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!
Single You Out: SageInfinite x Won87 – N.S.A.
Highlighting another dope project that just released a couple of days ago, SageInfinite and Won87’s Sleeper Cell. The project is a gritty one the details an assortment of terrorist incidents, policies, and restrictions on personal freedoms. I think it’s a poignant piece of work implemented with a maximum amount of dope. Certainly, something you should all check out.
The track N.S.A. details how that very government entity has restricted our privacy and our freedoms. It is a bonus cut that closes out the project and my personal favorite. I hope you enjoy.
Single You Out: OnlyOne – TKO
This song is lifted from the recently released project, Fuck You, from OnlyOne. The project is an unabashed, in your face, and raw hip-hop release, not meant for the faint of heart. The entire project is produced by SmokeM2D6 and he outdoes himself with this track right here. The guitar-driven joint is purposeful and the perfect platform for OnlyOne to deliver his bars.
Single You Out: Jarren Benton x Spittzwell – The One (ft. Demerick)
It’s all about sharing with you all the illness that I come across on my internet excursions and one thing I know from previous experience is that Jarren Benton and Spittzwell are a good combination. Their previous body of work, Luke P EP, had some serious illness. And when I got an email notification that they had a new project, I jumped at the opportunity to listen. It does not disappoint. The album is called The Mink Coat Killa LP.
The track I chose to feature is The One as it features some soul, funk, reggae, and straight hip-hop flavor. It’s such a dope beat and Benton slays it with creative lyricism and a ferocity to boot! Check out this project! You owe it to yourself!
Single You Out: Swamp Thing & Ghettosocks – Phenomical
Here’s something else that is new and noteworthy! The Grindhouse 2 EP is a collection of cuts that did not make the 2017 album, The Octagon, from Swamp Thing and Ghettosocks. The whole EP is rather filthy and the song Phenomical is among my most favorites. There’s lots to love here but the production from Socks and his choice of samples is nothing short brilliant, so be sure to enjoy this sample and then pick up the project!
Single You Out: SoulChef – We Oui (ft. Steph Pockets)
Here’s a gem of a project you all need to take a look at. It’s producer SoulChef’s new one, Foreign Affairs. And I feel like the hip-hop fan is really missing out if they don’t peep this. There are so many great tracks off of this album. I was really feeling Deal With It, Hypocrite, and Reeducaction. But in the end, my favorite is this joint featuring Steph Pockets, We Oui. I mean this track is just plain likable. Pockets’ flow with this impeccable flow from Soul Chef is a win of the highest degree! It’s an anthem of sorts. I can see this getting a lot of love as it gets heard so let’s make that happen!
Single You Out: Ca$ablanca – Hussein’s Fall
And here comes one of my favorite artists right now, Ca$ablanca, dropping yet another dope single, Hussein’s Fall. He’s flipping some serious verbiage over a sitar-laden track by Vanguardia Report.
It’s a short knockout punch of ill lyricism, showing once again Ca$ablanca can flow over any type of dopeness. It doesn’t matter. Recognize!
Single You Out: Ren Thomas – Through The Fire (ft. Banish Habitual x Aquile)
Ren Thomas has dropped a series of dope singles recently, and this one is just another dope cut to add to a long list. The road to success occurs on the back of an Anno Domini production and lyricism from Thomas and Banish Habitual. This song packs some heat with inspiration laced inside.
Can we get a Ren Thomas album?
The bridge between winning and losing… I done burned it.
Single You Out: Apollo Brown x Joell Ortiz – Decisions
Well, we have another awesome collaborative project involving Apollo Brown. This time he is linking up with Joell Ortiz creating a haunting piece for the latter to question the various decisions to make in life and the intended consequences. This song sounds fantastic. I am really excited about this.
Mona Lisa drops on October 26th.
