Man, you may not be aware of any of the artists on this track, but you would be hard pressed to find a smoother hip hop joint in 2017. It’s super-mellow and super-dope.
Sideways is a producer collaborative featuring the talents of Ghostnaut (Montreal) Dualib (Brazil). There is something very melodic about this piece right here, and while the production stands out, the emcees and singer are also considerably talented. The track features Coin Banks, Elodie Rama, and Mr. J Medeiros.
Enjoy!
Here’s some real dopiness from Cashus King and Yamin Semali. I am not sure who produced it, but the production really moves and gets that head nodding while King and and Semali use their contrasting styles to offer insights on an assortment of different topics. The dynamic between the two artists is pure. They really play off of each other well. I REALLY hope to hear more from these artists.
The Brown Bag AllStars are back accompanied by The Alkholiks’ Tash for their new cut, 11 Steps. The production is orchestrated by Kev Brown. Everything really comes together for this cut as it comes complete with a slick beat, fresh rhymes, and an assortment of debauchery.
I hope there is more in store from the camp. My record collection needs a boost.

Blacastan and Stu Bangas are all but set to release their new album next week, The Uncanny Adventures Of Watson And Holmes. And this song definitely sets the tone for the release. Stu Bangas really has developed some sickness from behind the boards on this one. The bass line…guitar licks…with the drums is premier stuff. Blacastan delivers his bars like a hell hound. He’s got firey bars and owns this rhythm.
Can’t wait to see what’s on tap with this album.
Here’s an appropriately titled loosie from producer Giallo Point featuring emcees D Strong and Dro Pesci called, The Heat. And that’s exactly what this trio bring you on this cut. It’s pure and unadulterated fire. Giallo continues his run of lacing banger after banger for dope emcees. Strong and Pesci are laying heads to rest on this track…you all had your chance!
Some vintage feeling hip hop from producer IceRocks and comrades-of-the-mic Calamity Chris, Spit Gemz, and SicWitDaPen. The vibe definitely has a 1990s sound, and takes me back to when I first heard Jemini The Gifted One…add that’s a strong compliment. The emcees each bring a different type of ammo to the salvo but it all comes together. Calamity Chris has a very laid back deliver, Gemz always brings a ferocity, and SicWitDaPen closes with a bridge between the two styles.
IceRocks new album, Live From The Bunker is presumed to be around the corner!
I have always held emcee Chasus King in the highest of esteems. His writing skills are pretty incredible and meaningful, while his delivery, on this track especially, is ferocious. And speaking of ferocious, good lord, Blu goes in on a vicious fashion.
This by all accounts is a great cut. Where there is smoke there is fire!
Theo3 is back and putting your eardrums on notice! He’s addressing all the negativity that we are encountering on a daily basis especially on a grand scale with our treatment of immigrants and such.
The lyricism is intelligent. The hooks are extremely well woven around a production that winds it’s way around a piano sample.
Really great music from an equally great talent.
This song is sharp. It’s got everything you need in a hip hop cut for 2017. The bars from Al-One, Illmac, and Theory Hazit are all primo quality. And the beat from Rey Holliday is pretty special in it’s own right. It’s got some soul, funk, and boom bap wrapped inside.
Al-One’s, Sharptongue, drops next week, and I am pretty sure it’s going to be special. Stay tuned.
Career Crooks is Zilla Rocca and Small Professor and they brought along a few friends for this latest music journey. Dewey Bryan, MaLLy, and PremRock all get busy alongside Rocca on the mic.
This cut has so much exceptional going on with it. The track from Professor is funky yet understated which makes it the perfect canvas for these audio lessons. The way the chorus is worked around the emcees verses makes this track have even more of an impact. Each emcee shows unique prowess and styling yet compliment the other.
The new album, Good Luck With That, drops on Friday. Are you down?
