This song off of LMNO & Twiz the Beatpro’s album, COHORTS, is one of the ills this year. This production is purely addictive. I love how Twiz manipulated this vocal sample. And Ras Kass’ verse is a problem, a legitimate problem. LMNO is no slouch either on his sixteen. This is a complete joint.
Single You Out: Words Hurt – King Of Summer
Now here’s a fresh summertime track for your 4th of July block party! I am really enjoying the feel of this track from Words Hurt which is comprised of Alaska and producer Lang Vo.
So hit the barbecue with this turned up to 10 in the whip and let the people appreciate your regal choice in music!
Single You Out: Starvin’ B – Keep Dumbin’ (ft. Clasik)
Starvin’ B is simply one of the nicest emcees in the game right now. His verse and flow here is so crisp and sickly.
Teach you after school..I’m gonna have a talk with your nana / To discuss a couple of methods to learn you some more manners…
Too ill! Clasik also drops a nice 16 over a nice piano drive production fro Eyedee. Can’t wait for more material from Starvin’ B!
Single You Out: Milano Constantine – Quantanamo Bay (ft. J Bux)
Newness from Milano Constantine who dropped one of the tightest projects thus far of 2017, The Way We Were. Constantine is a legit wordsmith…
“Heavyweight…I’ll crack your armor…looking like a black Spartan….”
And the beat by Prete Rosso is preemo. J-Bux drops the second verse and it too is pretty ill.
Single You Out: TOPR – I Shouldn’t Have Left You (ft. DJ Quest) (prod. Cutty Bang)
I feel like Topr is someone I should have shown love to a long time ago! On a whim I copped his album, Life Of The Afterparty, on iTunes, and the album is certified heat. In particular I could listen to the first two songs from the album continuously. They are that good. I Shouldn’t Have Left You is one of those songs.
Single You Out: Typ Ill – Everything is War
Typ ILL is back with a new project, 30 Days, which should be out by the time you finish reading this post. This particular single has a mellow production taking a back seat to thought provoking rhymes that are the biproduct of Typ Ill’s experience.
Single You Out: Asylum Lifetime x Sherm LaRock – Something Wrong
Asylum Lifetime and Sherm Larock are back with the thing they do best: concocting bangers. And this joint knocks heavy. The beat from Sherm Larock is pretty amazing..the depth with the horns, strings, and drums really provides a surging energy. Asylum Lifetime also shows a consistently dope flow and voice as an emcee.
These guys are easily some of my favorites whom I don’t hear enough from. They are too ill. Need a full length!
Single You Out: Grieves – Rx
Grieves is one of those artists that has the ability to connect with his audience. His emotion fills his music and that makes him extremely relatable to a lot of people. Rx is a deeply honest reflection on the safety we seem to find in our addictions. The prescription can also be found for for those that have been missing his music. That is at least until his forthcoming album, Running Wild, drops later this summer.
Enjoy!
Single You Out: V-Zilla – God Z.I.L.L.A.
Everyone knows Zilla has bars…dude could flow on for days and this song demonstrates nothing less than that ability and talent. He’s backed on the boards by Sultan Mir for this first single from the impending album, Martyr Musick. The song has got that boom-bap with a touch of soul. You get the entire head nod effect.
Single You Out: Finale x Fel Sweetenberg – One Light
Detroit’s Finale links up with Camden stalwart, Fel Sweetenberg for a new project. One Light is the first release from the project, Two Kings, and I think we can anticipate something dope when the full length drops. This track is hitting like two emcees on a war march.
…I bet this shit feel like a whole lifetime worth of Mic Tyson uppercuts..
