Apathy is back with his third single, The Order, from the forthcoming album, The Widow’s Son, which drops on March 2nd. This time he is backed with that prometheus type fire from the one and only DJ Premier. Demigodz and the gawd unite for some serious man business. It’s a great union, as Ap sounds really fluid over the legend’s production. If you aren’t looking forward to this project, then you probably aren’t welcome here.
Here’s a new DJ Rybe produced track featuring rhymes from Code Nine and Smoovth. The resulting product is definitely some head not effect. Rybe gets the horns blowing and the emcees put in some excellent work. Not sure if this is off of an future project, but I hope you checked out Rybe’s Channel Zero from early last year., as that was some serious dope.
It’s been a while since I have heard from ArtOfficial but I had all of their previous releases and know how dope they are. The new project, Doers & Didn’ts, might be their be best music to date.
My favorite track from the project is the jump off, Back On My Sh*t. It’s a true head nodder accompanied by a thick bass line, some flute, and a jazzy chorus. The rhymes are also full of flavor. You are not going to want to miss out here.
…these slumbering giants sleep lighter than you think…
True hip hop!
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!
