New single from Kyo Itachi’s forthcoming album, Genkidama, featuring oft-collaborator Ruste Juxx. These two, over the course of the last couple of years and two projects, have really honed in on a sound. Itachi intermingles the strings with the drums while Juxx lets off his sixteen without fear and remorse.
There are high hopes for this project. Itachi has become one of the top producers in the game and the project is laden with heavy lyrical hitters.
Wordsworth links up with The Last Emperor for the single, Hero, off of the forthcoming album, Our World Today. The album is Wordsworth’s collaboration with producer Sam Brown. This track musically sounds like a blend of 80s electronica and boom bap hip hop. There’s just something unique about the pulsing synth when combine with the sample that’s being used in the chorus. And who better for Wordsworth to team up with with for a track like this other than The Last Emp who is known for his Secret Wars cuts from the early 2000s?
Album dropping August 11th.
I got put onto H3RO by checking Supastition’s twitter feed for a minute. He received a shout from DJ Sav One and that praise was duplicated by a few more individuals. So here we are…this kid is talented…extremely talented. The wordplay and sentence synergy (okay, I made that phrase up) is really on point. I can only hope that this buzz builds and he continues to receive a greater venue to share his talents with the world.
Peace!
Supastition is putting together a monthly series called Solitaire, where he will release a song that he alone produces, writes, records, and does the graphic design for.
For the most part, I don’t mess around with these series type projects because they are hard to keep up with, but I do appreciate the entire discography of Supastition. So I am going to give this one a go.
On Thanks, Ghost, Supa pays homage to Ghostface Killah’s storytelling ability while narrating a couple of his own. He flips on a couple of events that occurred in his life while listening to tracks from the Wu-Tang vet. Pretty clever if you ask me.
Take a listen and pass it on!
Oh shit! It’s been a few years but now we finally get a Fraternity project. The team looks like it has changed up a little bit with the emcees on the Dark Arts Of The Iron Age. But the illness is the same! The production throughout the project is dark yet knocks pretty hard. The lyricism is extremely well crafted by each emcee yet they each maintain a unique style.
This track has a Game Of Thrones appeal to it as do some of the others. Straight illness! Check the full album and pay what you want! I dropped some cheddar on it.
This is one of the best sixteens I have heard from Pacewon while Chris Rivers annihilates his appearance. But the true show stopper is the best from Mr. Green. These drums snap so hard and the altered vocal sample in the background is the perfect accent to this track. Really dope product from all involved.
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.
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!
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!
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.
