Single You Out: Jonwayne – Ted Talk

Jonwayne has received a lot of acclaim from hip hop fans but admittedly I had never heard him. I think this will change after hearing this track, Ted Talk. It’s clearly hip hop inspiration coming at you. The track is not only dark and sinister but exceptionally interesting with the breaks, scratches, and different tones heard through out. Wayne, with a conversational style, actually sounds like he could be on stage giving you, well….a Ted Talk.

The album Rap Album Two is dropping next Friday. I am going to check it out.

Single You Out: Superior – Mastermind (feat. Verbal Kent)

Superior is a producer who is dropping an album on February 17th, entitled The Journey. He has dropped a slew of singles and I haven’t featured them as much as I should so let me share this Verbal Kent joint with you. You can hear that gritty boom bap in his production with the heavy drums, and vocal samples. And Kent is a natural over such productions, channeling the master plans of characters such as Walter White. Really good stuff.

Single You Out: Taiyamo Denku – Indifference (ft Bankai Fam) (Prod Dcypha)

The Bankai Fam links up with Milwaukee’s own, Taiyamo Denku for this ill Dcypha produced joint. The production has a dark and mysterious quality about it, while the emcees show a tenacious appetite for destruction in every bar. This is a heavy banger.

Single You Out : Archie Bang – John Wick (prod. By maticulous)

I really feel the music that Archie Bang has put out thus far and even though this song is obviously released in conjunction with the latest Wick movie, it doesn’t make in any less dope. If anything this is one of the dopest hip hop cuts that may play during cinema this year. Respect what Bang brings to the table over this sinister production from maticulous.

Single You Out: Awaxx – Bring It Back (ft. Griff Cowan)

Awaxx, Griff Cowan, and Sultan Mir combine to show their disdain for the current state of commercial hip hop. You get the traditional boom bap flavor with the horns and heavy drums from Sultan Mir, while Awaxx and Cowan showcase their love for hip hop in lyricism.

If I am reading the Bandcamp page right, it looks like Mir and Awaxx have a collaborative album in the works. That should be dope.

Single You Out: Malachi x Interstate Mook – Liu Kang (ft. Case)

It’s been a minute since we have featured some NSD flavor, but this is a nice start for 2017. Malachi delivers a slightly sinister production on Liu Kang for guests Interstate Mook and Case to spit some unsavory bars over.

It’s decisively different from the typical NSD flavor but equally as potent.

Single You Out: Spit Gemz – Heavens Dungeon (ft. Chino XL)

Some new ill from Spit Gemz is a sight for sore eyes, and when you couple his high level of skill with a guest verse from the gawd Chino XL shit just becomes sublime. Stu Bangas laces the production and the emcees unleash salvo after salvo of heat. It’s honestly a lot of dope to take in for one cut.

I can’t wait for the project.

Single You Out – The Council – Valhalla Doctrine (ft. The God Fahim)

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.
