Single You Out: Cayoz – Leave Me Alone (ft. $am Santiago)

a3052418444_10

Finally, Cayoz has dropped his long awaited album, Beyond The Moniker.   In truth I have been waiting for this album for over a year at this point.  But it was definitely worth the wait.

Throughout the album, Cayoz shows the multiple facets of himself, with my favorite aspect being his interpersonal messages.  He once again puts the thoughts and feelings that we all go through into brilliantly orchestrated music.  Leave Me Alone, is the perfect example of what I am talking about.  Who doesn’t feel the need to be left alone at some point?

Single You Out: Rite Hook – The Road (prod. by Sicknature)

Rite Hook is back with a Sicknature produced single as a prelude to his forthcoming album Modify.   Rite Hook brings a ton of energy to the track along with his trademark gravelly-voiced hooks.   And those two things have been his calling card for years.  If you haven’t been put on to Rite Hook releases previously, be sure to check out his albums, Draw You In and From The Wrong.

Single You Out: Bugsy Da God – Skill Mathematics (ft. Masta Killa, Prodigal Sunn & Shyheim) (prod. By Endemic Emerald]

Bugsy Da God has a new album out entitled, Camouflage Disciple.   I haven’t been able to check the album out in it’s entirety but here’s the new single, Skill Mathematics, featuring Masta Killa, Prodigal Sunn, and Shyheim.  This is song is as the emcees say…napalm.  Endemic Emerald show his skill behind the boards here twice in one day, as this would his second feature of the day.

Single You Out: Staalin – State of Emergency (prod. by DVient)

Here’s today’s ‘Holy Shit’ moment featuring Staalin.   This is one of those tracks that contains too many quotables to count.  It’s bars upon bars, and he puts together one of the best flows this year with the track State of Emergency.  DVient gets the energy flowing with some sharp sounding drums and an electric guitar that intertwines itself in the rhythm.

I can’t wait to hear more from Staalin!

Single You Out: Endemic Emerald & Skanks – Trouble (ft. E Class)

Endemic unleashes a bluesy and soulful production for Skanks’ thoughtful phrases as it regards to the ‘trouble’ that surrounds him.  He references the violence against the black community, the loss of his childhood heroes, Hulk Hogan and Bill Cosby, and the perception that Black Lives Matter is somehow a racist propaganda.   He really goes in on this one.

The two have a collaborative album in the works, Rapsploitation, dropping in February 2016.  So check back for more information.  I am sure there will be more coming.

Single You Out: Gripz – Heavens Demon (prod. by Dizzee Beats)

Oh wow!  You would be hard pressed to hear a better flow in 2015.  Gripz completely decimated this production from Dizzee Beats.   This is some of the best rhyme content I have heard from Gripz.  He is bringing the diabolic front in center with intricate wordplay and clever references.  His lines referencing George Zimmerman and Donald Trump reflect some serious tenacity.

The other thing I like, is that Gripz slowed down the flow and allows the listener to absorb every line.  Y’all should be loving this!

Single You Out: Whosane – I Will Return (prod. by Mabu Shakur)

Whosane is back on the scene with the appropriately titled, I Will Return. On this track, he puts into the perspective all of the crimes being perpetrated on the Black Community both specific and broad. Obviously there are crimes of brutality that have been in the news lately, but there are also grander obstacles that involve lack of opportunity and advancement that Whosane touches upon. Dope and meaningful music.
