Here’s another loose from Supreme Cerebral, this time laced with a somber track from Rob Viktum. It’s one of those short yet deadly tracks. You should definitely be feeling this. Cerebral has been dropping nothing but heat in the last couple of months. Just song after song of dopeness.
Here’s a single from Cloud City Project’s album, No White Flags, which has been out for a couple of months now and remains exceptionally ill. If you love that hardcore boom bap, this is going to be right up your alley. This beat is like street gospel right here and all of the emcees really deliver the goods on the quality of bars, plus you get that EMS flavor when Revalation knocks out his sixteen.
Sav Killz unleashes a hidden banger from the vaults that features an electric line up of emcees including Planet Asia and Killa Ben. Gold Chain Military in full effect! These gents are rocking over an instrumental crafted by Dirty Diggs. The strings over the drums give this track a hard hitting yet funky vibe. How this track was unreleased until now is beyond me. This track is ill. Banger & B-Sides 2 is coming!
I have been waiting for Staalin to drop some new music for the longest time. He dropped one of the the hottest songs (strictly on a lyrical level), State Of Emergency, back in 2015. I hadn’t heard anything since, and then this EP drops. F.R.W.L. 2 is a really amazing release. There are only seven cuts but they all range from the really good to the exceptional. Lyrically you would be hard pressed to beat the title track F.R.W.L. This man has bars!!
Y’all recreated a monster/ that’s sponsored/ without the energy drink,
My enemies think that I’m gone I’m back/ before they can blink.
Been the missing link in the chain/ before Lincoln came and unlinked,
The chains of the slaves/ at least that’s what all the history books say. Right?
Never liked me/ they like Staalin behave,
He’s a bully/ he’s a beast/ I bet his booth in a cave.
With all this venom I produce/ I’ll put dey youts in a grave,
So they aint gotta avenge they fathers death/ I spare them the shame. (Geeze)
My pictures/ sicker/ than Hitler/ at a bar mitzvah/ nigga,
Pulling a trigger/ while yelling mazeltov/ I’m a killa.
Call me Attila/ these rappers/ after the scrilla,
But they really don’t excite me/ they rapping pattern’s vanilla.
(ugh) Makes me wanna go back to the trap/ and tackle them down to the mat,
And slap em with vinyl/ like when Lion-o attacks.
These Thunder cats/ are just making noise when they rap,
With out the lightning/ they bout as frightening/ as two dykes in a bath.
I’ve always enjoyed Matlock’s unique sound. His energy and delivery are all together different than what other artists bring to the table. His new track, Follow Me, has a psychedelic vibe to it which correlates to the Jim Jones cover art. HIs references to other hip hop artists are well placed humor as well. So I raise my glass of Kool Aid to you all!
I have featured Siyah on the site way back in 2013, but I recently received an email from him featuring a song from his new project, Steadfast. I am glad he is making music still because this song is pretty dope, which in turn is going to make me cop the project.
This cut produced by iSample, is mellow but also has plenty of edge about it. There is a definite spiritual element with this track. Siyah is well versed in religious knowledge but it’s all done as a point of reference. The track also features bars from Kingdom Kome. All together very dope…
I had to re-showcase some material from this album, Chemical Monkeywrench, from Organik Poisons. The song dropped almost a year ago, but the album was just recently released. I am really feeling the guitar licks and drums from the song Respect Fire. Plus it features bars from the much respected Spit Gemz and Mitchell Aims. This is some pure head not effect on here.
Definitely check the album, it’s a dope listen that I don’t think should be left to go gently into the night. Lots of bangers on deck here!
Last single before the Jamo Gang EP drops on January 31st. You know that shit is going to be flames…and no…not lighter flames. Like California Forrest Fire type arson! J57 laces ANOTHER incredible uptempo banger, that accomplished wordsmiths, El Gant and Ras Kass stake claim to another bout of verbal armageddon. Does that sound over-dramatic? Not really.
Cayoz is back to releasing personal fire in 2018. Fire & Ice features production from long time collaborator O*Zee and vocals of Phoenix Pagliacci. The music is the perfect mixture for Cayoz’ subject matter of relationships, and the good and bad that comes when you encounter people of different mindsets. Each verse relates a different aspect of how opposing mental forces mingle together. It’s clever and relatable, and memorable.
It’s really hard to believe that the last time I featured Forbidden Dialect was back in 2011. That would make them one of my initial submissions back when we were back in our infancy. I recently received an email from one of the members asking me to check out their new project, Wi-Fi on the South Side. I did a couple of days ago, and this album they put together is fantastic. Some great rhyme, super production, well incorporated samples and GREAT all around song making. I am going to hit you off with the track Old School and then hit you with an album review soon. Check it! The album is free!!!!!
