This is something that I wasn’t expecting to find on bandcamp, so it’s just karma that it winds up at my door. Price Stylez, an emcee out of Boston, links up with producer Jakk Wonders for the new project, Black Mass. I haven’t gone too far in but this track, Recognize Real, just plain goes.
Single You Out: Blak Flag – They Don’t Know
You can ABSOLUTELY bet that when this guy releases some music, we are going to be posting it. Blak Flag has dropped some of the hardest cutz we have heard over the course of the last couple of years. Shit just knocks. Sherm Larock is again the mastermind behind the boards.
At this point, I needed a Blak Flag album like yesterday. This track is short, sweet, and dope.
Single You Out: Kyle Hubbard – Point Of Life
I have been an avid Kyle Hubbard supporter since the beginning, and you best believe I take great pride in that fact. In my mind, he’s one of a dozen or so artists that really connects me to his music. I listen to his previous work all the time.
When you listen to a Kyle Hubbard record it’s almost like you are having a conversation with a friend, and he’s just dropping experience and life on you. You are going to hear that in this song, Point Of Life, and on his new album, All Good Things Come. I highly recommend you do yourself the service of checking it out.
Single You Out: Recognize Ali – Shiny Ski Masks (ft. Daniel Son x Eto x Vic Spencer)
This is the second single from the forthcoming album, God’s Vision. Recognize Ali, Daniel Son, Eto, and Vic Spencer are hitting you in the face as though their bars were bricks. Don’t sleep on this nor the camp!
Single You Out: Rock Mecca – Gladiator Schools (ft. Roc Marciano)
You want some fight club music this weekend? Yeah. I’ve got you covered. Rock Mecca and Roc Marciano go all out for the fight over this sublime production from Jake Palumbo.
The production has a lot of depth with a sonic appeal. I love how it varies over the course of the song. It almost feels tailored, especially for the Roc Marciano contribution.
I too am steadily looking forward to the album, Ironworld, which seems M.I.A. I’ve put in a request for some more information as to it’s whereabouts and when I have that, I will pass it on.
Single You Out: Ras Kass – Pyramid Schemes (ft. Coast Contra) (prod. By Apathy)
Ras Kass launches some trademark social commentary in the form of ill lyricism over this Apathy piano laced rhythm. Joined on the track is the group Coast Contra who flips in English and Spanish and does so with equal parts savageness. I am going to have find out some more about them.
Enjoy the track!
Single You Out: Ekundayo x Spitzwell – Looking Down
This is my favorite track off of Ekundayo and Spitzwell’s collaborative effort, Magnificent Brilliance. Listen to this production from Spitzwell! How dope is that craftsmanship?!?!?! You know it’s special. The violin/fiddle is legit along with the varying ways it is applied throughout the song. And Ekundayo’s flow is something serious, flipping intricate lyricism on the thin line of life and death.
Enjoy this one people!
Single You Out: Coal Cash – Whatever Dreams May Come (ft. Taboo)
I saw Coal Cash (Double Negative) had a new album out on Bandcamp, Unsung, and I really have liked what I have hear from him thus far, so I am checking it out. And it’s a definite win! This album is big on substance, powerful lyricism, and dope production. Father Focus Confucious produced the entire project and did an incredible job.
In order to celebrate the release of this project and get the word out, I wanted to showcase this track featuring his compadre Taboo. The two have such great chemistry and create some powerful bars that play so well off of each other. It’s over eight minutes of brilliance.
Single You Out: Taboo – Hero’s Journey
In terms of interesting and well crafted lyricism, Taboo, is among the best. When I get word that he has some new music, it’s gotten to the point it’s an INSTANT cop. His entire 64 bars here is rewindable. So many quotables intermingled with an amazing flow. Stay tuned for more…
Single You Out: Shaz Illyork – Kandahar (ft. Tools Beastly and Therman Munsin)
New single up for Shaz Illyork to represent for his forthcoming album, Graff City. The production is low key and stripped down to a few basic components, allowing Illlyork, and guests Tools Beastly and Therman Munsin to spread some heavy hitting sixteens amongst the masses.
Album drops September 12th.
