DJ Skizz has dropped a project today called, High Powered. And this track Superfly, featuring YL and Starker is the first single. Skizz plays the pied piper with the wind instrument as it wraps its way around your head. It’s super smooth, and the emcees definitely execute the vision here.
I can’t wait to check the whole project. I will be copping in a moment.
Good news folks! The Aztext are back again and making new music. It’s been a minute since we have heard from the Vermont duo, but they haven’t missed a step with their latest single, Everyday Sun. The guys always bring a fresh perspective to their music with good vibes and poignant lyricism. This time they add a ton of soul to the mix with vocals from Xenia Buford, and some supreme horns from producer Rico James.
Now this track is one that simply goes! Vanderslice produces a concise yet dark track that assumes the perfect landscape for Ren Thomas, Skrewtape, and Slaughter Rico to rock over. I especially appreciate Thomas’ intensity to start the ball rollin’. He has that intensity that really hits home.
I am not sure where this track is destined to surface or if it’s just a loosie, but it’s certainly dope.
K-Hill over some Rashid Hadee production is nothing but a win. I love both of these artists. Its been more than a minute since I have heard some music from Hadee, so I really appreciate this laid back and jazzy production.
Then you have K-Hill putting your perspective on southern hip-hop artists on notice as he serves three verses of southern dopeness to erase your stereotypes about what all artists from the southern US are capable of.
I think this dose of reality was needed and I hope Hadee and Hill build off of this record. Sounds like a great combination.
Kyo Itachi connects with lyrical legend Chino XL for this beast of a track from the album, Rest In Power, which I believe drops tomorrow. Itachi and Chino XL seem like a combination that was destined to happen when you hear the latter rock over the former’s production.
You’ve got a lot of dope emcees rocking over the mellow production from Sibbs Roc and they are all carting bodies off when this track again. You have a various mix of styles from, Saipher Soze, Daniel Son, Asun Eastwood, Black Nazi, Rob Gates, and Maverick, but they are ill. This a really dope cut!
Ca$sablanca teams up with producer, Kurse, to create a dark let stirring banger for the masses. Blanca’s flow sounds really pure over this fire. The more and more I hear from this artist, the more I like.
DJ Rybe cooks up a slow burner in the kitchen and has Recognize Ali and Adrian Adonis add some solid sixteens to the concoction. Pretty dope if you ask me. Rybe’s last project, Channel Zero was really dope. Maybe he’s got some new dope on the horizon.
I wanted to share some of this music from the Gasol Sauce project by emcees Sauce Heist, Jamal Gasol, and producer Dirty Diggs. I was pretty skeptical about dropping 18 bones on a project of this length. But what the tracks lack in length, they make up for in quality.
This is really good music! Blood Thicker Den Water is my favorite track as Diggs uses this violin sample to perfection as it wraps around and intertwines between Heist and Gasol’s tough sixteens.
I think you’ll agree with me on this one. Check out the track and consider copping the album if you are loving.
The latest single from Jedi Mind Tricks’ forthcoming release, The Bridge & The Abyss could be their best yet. Stoupe’s piano laced rhythm provides that dark landscape for Vinnie Paz to lace tailor-made hard bars for the occasion.
This album is shaping up to be among the hardest of the year. Every track has been hella tough.
