Single You Out: Dirt Platoon – Admire (prod. by DJ Low Cut)

This is the third single from Dirt Platoon’s latest album, Bare Face Robbery.   This has been a ‘go-to’ album for me since it came out.  I have at least bumped it ten times since it dropped, and that almost never happens in this day and age.    Dirt Platoon and DJ Low Cut put a project together that’s simply laced with banger after banger.   You never get any weak shit from these guys.  They drop it strong and heavy.

If you are feeling this cut, be sure to check that album.

Worth Revisiting: Cyne – Elephant Rome (2008)

In the vain of putting you onto (or reminding you) of dope music from a while back I put forth Cyne’s song, Elephant Rome, from their album, Pretty Dark Things which was released about seven years ago in 2008.

Cyne is an incredibly dope group who has over ten years of music that hip hop afcionados can sift through.   It’s an impressive display of musical artistry and lyrical dexterity.  There’s also something very distinctive in the quality of music that the group puts out.   Certainly lots to love, as I am sure you will enjoy this track!

Single You Out: Gstats – Symphony (ft. Shatike, Skanks, Shabaam Sahdeeq, and P. General)

I am not going to let this one slip through the tracks (haha).  Gstats just released his project, Syke Ward, and I was one of the first in line to cop it.  First off, Shinigamie Records, has a proven track record of dropping some dope material.  Gstats drops some rough and rugged flows throughout the release, but this posse cut right here, was definitely and ‘oh wow’ moment.

If you are feeling it, make sure drop some scratch on the album.

Single You Out: Grimace Love – Past Life (Cool FD Remix)

I feel like I have featured Grimace Love before on the site, but upon further inspection, maybe not.  At any rate, Cool FD put me on to this remix that he did for the emcee, and to sy this song goes would simply be an understatement.  Cool FD nails it with the horns and the snares, providing a serious head nodder.  Grimace Love has that nice gritty flavor that put this beat to great use.  I liked it enough to check out the album, Strength, which originally dropped in November of last year.

SIngle You Out: Skrewtape – Go Time

Skrewtape is making moves and it’s easy to see why.  He rides this imperial beat provided by The Wurxs with a certain type of hunger and ferocity that suggests that no one is going to stand in his way towards success.   I’m always on the lookout for more material from this exceptional artists and you should share the same mindset.  Very few are giving the people that grim, gritty, yet lyrical flavor.
