Here’s a new single from Vanderslice featuring one of the hottest names in independent hip hop, Skrewtape. The production features an 80s synthetic vibe to it and Skrewtape lends his raspy flow credentials to the joint to create a gritty banger. The album, Smuggle Rap, drops on May 26th.
One of my all time favorite emcees is back with a single from his forthcoming album, Gold Standard. If I could use one word to describe Supastition it would be ‘authentic’. When you listen to his music you are getting the real deal…his thoughts…his music…his vision. This track, Flawless, produced by Praise, sounds like a celebration of lyrical integrity to me. Also, a special set of props is deserved for that Great Kabuki line….(I know most of you won’t get that one…)
Rome Cee is back with some new music and this is something to vibe to in a dark room while plotting on improving some things. Producer, Ancient Soundz, crafts an Asian inspired instrumentation so that Rome Cee can hit the listener with a deluge of crisp and poignant lyricism.
His new project, Sevencees, is dropping on May 28th.
Wow. It’s been a minute since I had seen a Donny Goines project. I am really glad to see he has a new project, Gala, out now. The project is not based upon length (it’s only three tracks long) but more on the potency of the music. The track Settle Down demonstrates Goines’ heartfelt execution over dope rhythms provided by J.Cannon.
Cool FD does his thing by blending soul and boom bap into sublime fusion while Mic Handz and Ali Starr bring their rhymes front in center in the ‘High Definition’ fashion. The two emcees sound like they’ve been rocking mics together for the longest while in truth, this is there first cut. I hope this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes this union of skill. This is most definitely a live track.
DJ Low Cut sends us a banger posse cut featuring Akin Yai, Seneca, and Soarse Spoken. The track has got the fire beat and features an assortment of braggadocio rhyme styles. I’m not sure what project this track is destined for but even as a stand alone it’s worth it’s weight in gold.
This is an incredibly dope song from Estee Nack and Purpose from the soon-to-be-released album, 14 Forms: The Book Of Estee Nack. There is so much to love about this track. The production with the piano keys creates a somber soundscape for incredibly introspective lyricism about time and how it relates to our lives. The word weaving and knowledge dropping is certainly a few steps above the rest.
The album drops on June 23rd.
Out of all the new artists I featured around last year, Coast may be my favorite. His album, March First, was full of non stop bangers that still receives a lot of rotation here. Now we have a new cut and the announcement of a new project, #Withoutpapers, which has a ‘coming soon’ tag. I will promote this artist to the fullest as a shining light in a most stale musical world. He brings a lot of energy and skill to the mic. As an extra bonus, another artist making his name felt, Skrewtape, along with Taboo, join him on this track. Stay tuned for more.

Adlib has linked up with Rob The Viking of Swollen Members for his new album, Teenagers From Marz. Adlib has been making great music for years so don’t let this song surprise you. But linking up with Rob The Viking for production definitely should make hay in getting his name buzzing even more. Adlib always has an upfront, no holds bared style, that falls front in center regardless of the production. It’s time people start taking notice. Oh not to be lost on you, this track features Ill Bill.
This is my favorite cut off of Eff Yoo’s Papa Dios album. I love the ‘Forbidden Fruit’ vibe from the name of the song to the content therein. The instrumentation is dope and of course you’ve got Spit Gemz rocking the mic with Eff Yoo. Also one of the blessings of the songs is I get to hear Carmen Indhira albeit all so subtly.
Check the album if you have not already.
