The team out of Jamaica, The Council, links up with Tha God Fahim for a dark banger off of their forthcoming album, Nothing Else Matters. These guys have some serious lyricism that has a lot of depth to it. There’s nothing superficial about it.
Single You Out: DJ Rybe – Power Bars (ft Planet Asia & Agallah)
Here’s a single from DJ Rybe’s recently released album, Channel Zero. Power Bars features Planet Asia and Agallah on the mic ripping up a production from Rybe that features heavy synth and a sort of shrouded mystique.
The album is really dope and something you really need to check! It goes heavy!
Single You Out: Ullnevano x Illen Rosewell – 12’s over the wire
Ullnevano is one of those emcees whom I believe does not get the credit he is due. A few years ago he dropped a project with Logic Marselis that just oozed with dopeness, entitled The Protocol. Now he is back with a new project accompanied by the production of Illen Rosewell that again rises to the talent level of our emcee. Rosewell does a sensational job utilizing samples and dropping some soul into the music. I strongly suggest you check the project! For now…check the last cut from the EP, 12’s over the wire.
Single You Out: SuKaFrE (Git X Mr. Live) – Can’t Take It NO More
I was just thinking about Mr. Live the other day. I was wondering if he was going to release any more music. This must be good karma because now I have a new single from Git Beats and Live as the group SuKaFre, Can’t Take It NO More.
Git Beats uses a mellow piano driven track to allow Mr. Live to decompress over the microphone. Live has that trademark voice and flow that is unmistakeable over the course of a couple of decades.
They have a new project in the works that has no said date, but we will have that information to you when it become available.
Single You Out: OnlyOne – Threat & Promise
OnlyOne rips a scathing social commentary over a six minute production from Smoke M2D6. Most of the lyricism deals with the police and their brutality in the Black Community. It’s an interesting take from a person outside the racial context but he hits everything like hammer to nail. He also does it with the typical flair that Only has become known for.
Single You Out: Venomous2000 & Trilian – Products Of The Environment (ft. Shabaam Sahdeeq & Cella Dwellas)
Venomous2000 and Trilian just released a new album entitled The Great Ones, and let me tell you…it’s impressive! This is easily my favorite project from Venomous. His style over Trillion’s production seems so seamless. Enjoy this track!
Single You Out: Revalation – Justice For Justin (prod. by Juno)
Sometimes music just has to be a vehicle for our emotions and that’s what we have here from Revalation. This was song was admittedly one of the hardest for Rev to write as he reflected upon his cousin’s recent violent death. It’s passionate and personal and if you can’t feel this then you are just plain numb.
If you are interested in making a contribution to assist the family with funeral expenses. There is a GoFundMe page up.
Single You Out: M-Dot – Chrissy (prod. Buckwild)
Can you feel the excitement? It’s in the air my friends! M-Dot is set to drop his long awaited album, Ego and the Enemy, on January 27th. Chrissy is the 4th single from the project and showcase M-Dot’s ability to narrate a tale over some riveting production from Buckwild.
You can feel the depravity and hopelessness as M-Dot weaves his tale of a girl straying off the beaten path into a sick and twisted world.
Single You Out: Nino Bless – Neo Genesis (MK Ultra Pt. 2) (ft. Souljah Bless)
Nino Bless is back and bringing lyrical fury back to your eardrums. This guy must stay amassing verses for these 6 minute + tracks. I mean he piles bars upon bars and not just simplistic material. His rhymes have a certain density to them.
Single You Out: Illmaculate – Cupid (ft. ePP) (prod. Calvin Valentine)
Illmaculate and Calvin Valentine have really outdone themselves with their latest project, The Red Tape. The way Valentine weaves the boom-bap around select Otis Redding samples is simple breathtaking. Illmaculate continues to show elite skill level on the microphone. He truly is a master of the art and a complete emcee.
The track Cupid is my personal favorite off the album. The subject matter is that of making our relationships stronger. Both Illmac and ePP aim their discourse at taking their imperfections and making stronger bonds. The chorus is also super smooth.
Definitely show some love for this project and put forth a few coffers for the download!
