Single You Out: Pearl Gates & Syll – NYSoC

Ok.  This song has a chance to be a Top 10 track of the year.  It’s that damn good.  I love the instrumentation on this track by C0rrado.   There is so much texture to this production that the ears have no choice but to soak up the dopeness.  At times it feels like 70s funk, at others it’s soul, and yet always has a boom bap appeal.  The hook is next level, and easily the best I have heard in 2016.  Syll and Pearl Gates also have such a smooth way with handling their verses over this ill production.  Emcees and producer are like hand-in-glove for this joint.

Check the album, Play This.

Single You Out: Jenova 7 & Eddie Shinn – Space Jive (ft. M-Dot)

M-Dot put me on to this joint he was featured on that showcases a whole different vibe from the EMS front-man. Jenova 7 & Eddie Shinn laced this spaced-out yet jazzy  fore into the great unknown, while M-Dot narrates tales from galaxies far beyond. M-Dot continues to impress with great dexterity when confronted with different topics and styles.  He’s the ecmee’s emcee after all.

You can check out Jenova 7 & Eddie Shinn’s project, Cosmic Safari, here.

Single You Out: Serge Severe – Shots Fired (prod. by Zapata)

Serge Severe and Zapata reunite once again to add a classic hip hop touch to their social commentary.  The country is at it’s most divisive point in the 21st Century and the fellas are here to lend some perspective to it. Zapata and Severe have always been an amazing combo.  I appreciate their past collaborations perhaps more than any other recent partnership.  They just sound so in sync.  This soulful landscape along with truly poetic observation, make this cut one to hear.

Single You Out: K-Hill – The Ride (ft. Precyce Politix)

a2647373492_10K-Hill is back with some new music rocking over a production from D.R.U.G.S. Beats.  There’s so much dope content packed into just over two minutes from both Hill and Precyce Politix.   Check out just a segment of these bars. The Rolling Stones reference is so on point.

When your people try to tell you  that your time’s up, it’s ego pain / Hoping years of writing for y’all weren’t done in vain /  And promoters don’t want to pay you but they rape your brand / Then they talking shit about you because you force my hand / When you disrespect your own, how you taking shots at Macklemore? / One cultures’ trash is another cultures’ opens door / Only genre with an old school category / Jagger gets the money Keith Richards getting gory

Single You Out: Cloud City Projects – Guilty (ft. Don Streat x Gatsby The Great x Revalation) (prod. by DJ b-Able)

This is an instant hit!  The beat by DJ b-Able is one of the finest productions this year.  The way he works in the soulful hook and the samples makes the song feel like a mesh of soul, blues, and boom-bap.   The verses by Don Streat, Gatsby The Great, and Revalation are the proverbial dynamite.  Rev in particular has some serious zingers in his verse make this track a monumental eulogy.

Single You Out: Gotham Green – No Hard Feelings

Gotham Green has been featured here numerous times, but it has been a minute.  As a matter of fact, it has been two years since he has dropped some new music.  But he truly hasn’t lost a step which is noted on this new Don Korto produced track, No Hard Feelings. The track’s tone is casual, yet definitive.  Green is back but he’s not here to join the parade, he’s here to continue to carve his own path.

Don’t sleep!

Single You Out: Ghost Of the Machine – Last Man On Earth (ft. Red Pill) (produced by James Green)

It is my duty and obligation to share dope music with you and thusly I present you with the single, Last Man On Earth, from Ghost Of the Machine, and featuring Red Pill.  The track is personal and introspective, with a touch of despair.  The track suggests that no matter the belongings, situation, and company that the artist will still feel lonely.  I’ve been there and can definitely respect.

The track is from the album, It’s Lonely Out Here: The Story of J.F.M.  If you are feeling this track then this is an instant cop.  The album is solid and chocked full of true content.

Single You Out: Cayoz – Out The Box (ft. Vandalyzm, Add – 2 , and Dj Grazzhoppa) (prod. By Cool FD)

This new single from Cayoz will inevitably have you nodding your head and snapping those fingers.   Out The Box is a complete hip hop party for you ears.  Cool FD puts together some of his best work for this track with the jazzy flavor, horns, and pianos.  It’s layer after layer of musical dopeness.   Then you’ve got Grazzhoppa chopping up an old school Slick Rick sample amongst others making it even more memorable.   Cayoz, Vandalyzm, and Add-2 each drop a dope 16 to make this song stick with you.
