This has been sitting in my inbox for a minute. It just took me a while to give it a listen, but I am glad I gave Savage Souls some time. It’s a dope cut. The production from Remo Williams reveals a very raw but intricate style. The chopped up GZA verse for the chorus is a really nice touch. The emcees are pretty relentless as well. They have a nice delivery combined with a good assortment of bars for the listener. I am anxious to hear this EP they have dropping. If it’s anything like this cut, we could have a sleeper hit here.
Single You Out: Case Arnold – The Nicest
Here’s a fancy new joint from Case Arnold that serves as his DJ Booth premiere. I really am fond of this simplistic, yet super dope production from Chiefus. There’s something really dope in the bare bones elements of the track. Arnold on the other hand demonstrates some pretty superlative skills on the mic, particularly on the second verse where he’s “kissing hands and shaking babies”. Definitely can get down to this joint.
Single You Out: The Fraternity – Suicide Squad
This news should excite anyone who has been following our blog over the last couple of years: The Fraternity will have a collaborative project dropping at some point this year. This track is a posse cut that features, Sleep, Scriptz, Jus Ra, Loose Logic, Frank Knight, Xavier Medina, and produced by The Gonz.
The Fraternity features so many unique styles that just blends so well together over this banger. I don’t think we will find any different when the entire project drops. So nod your ahead in a appreciation for this track at the moment and I will let you know when we can expect to see the entire project.
Single You Out: Slide Dillinger – Silver Bullet
I have never featured Slide Dillinger before, but his first moment on our pages is a memorable one. Dillinger obliterates this banger with some rapid fire lyricism proving that skill and ability is not exclusive to the same ol’, same ol’. This is really a breath of fresh air for me. You can hear a tenacity that simply isn’t present in a lot of emcees these days. He’ll have a new project dropping this year entitled The Wake. I can only hope this one track is representative of what this album is going to be like.
Shout out to DJ Booth for scoping new talent!
Single You Out: Shaz Illyork – Ransack Pavilions
Now that Shaz Illyork is out the bing, he’s back doing what he does best: Making dope music. Qred is the producer responsible for the production which features a twanging guitar. Illyork delivers the roughness with both lyricism and delivery. I know that we will be getting a new project soon, so stay tuned.
Single You Out: One Dae – John Mackenflow (ft. Sean Price)
One Dae is out to follow up his phenomenal album from 2013, Daes & Times. If you didn’t check that album, you need to go and recap with that now, and then check this song. When you get done with that, now you can hear how hard this song bangs! Sean Price joins One Dae for an assortment of bars over a banger that comes from Freestyla.
I am not sure this track is a part of the project, but The Philosopher’s Stoned is his new full length with no said date.
Single You Out: El Gant – Raw (prod. by 42 Keez)
El Gant is back and gracing these pages and showcasing his abilities with this rapid fire spit over some production from 42 Keez. This single is coming off of his next EP, Spray Music, which has no specified date at this juncture, but with the fury of El Gant’s delivery you can bet that the project will be solid.
Single You Out: The Audible Doctor – Danger (ft. Hus Da Kingpin x Tragedy Khadafi)
The Audible Doctor just dropped the latest project in his ‘seasonal’ series, entitled The Spring Tape. The EP is only four tracks deep but there’s a lot packed into those four tracks musically. The track that I wanted to touch on is Danger featuring Hus Da Kingpin and Tragedy Khadafi. This is a track that blends both tough and smooth elements to create something that stands alone. You have each of the emcees killing their assigned verses while The Audible Doctor composes a horn laden cascading rhythm. Beautiful indeed…
Single You Out: Aye Wun – Just 2 Get 2 Heaven (ft. Spit Gemz)
I just wanted to shed some light on this new project from Aye Wun and producer Incredible Cutts. Groceries is a project that dropped a week or so ago and hasn’t garnered the attention it deserves. There are some dope beats mingling with gritty lyricism on this EP and I don’t want you to miss it.
Just 2 Get 2 Heaven has Incredible Cutts crafting a beat that creeps like a horror movie just before the climatic scene while Aye Wun and Spit Gemz discuss the evil that men might do if it was a requirement to get to heaven. Certain dope!
Single You Out:Goldini Bagwell – Virtual Reality (ft. Illmaculate & David Lincoln Mann)
Goldini Bagwell is back with another cut from his Smoker’s Jacket series this time bringing into the fold, well accomplished compatriot Illmaculate. Virtual Reality is a trippy journey that looks at relationships it what almost seems like an out of body experience. The track is sponsored by Chase Moore.
