Single You Out: AbSoulJah – At Your Service

Ok. So this isn’t really a single that is released explicitly by The AbSoulJah (although it was a video dropped a months or so ago) but I am using it again to bring this dope bonus project he just released to light. When the Moon Shines… is a complimentary project to his latest album, Dim The Light. You can purchase both CDs on this bandcamp page for $15. Great deal for some great music.

This cut off the project is the show stopper. I.N.C.H. on the boards and Big Ab brings his trademark stylings to light. It’s all about tough wordplay and big beats!

Single You Out: OnlyOne – Caught Up In My Ways (prod. by Chase Moore)

More new music from the Sandpeople camp! OnlyOne teams up with oft collaborator Chase Moore to do a little night stalking on these emcees. It’s short but sharp…like a knife to the jugular.

Single You Out: Agallah Don Bishop – Ferocious (ft SmooVth and Spit Gemz) (prod. Organik Poisons)

This is a single from Agallah’s new mixtape, Don Status. This is actually my first taste of music from the project and it’s making me think I should check the whole thing. The production from Organik Poisons has a really smooth sound with the cascading sample. The emcees each do their thing effectively, but Spit Gemz’ bars are the showstopper.

Single You Out: illmaculate – Stay Humble (prod. by Chase Moore)

Now illmaculate and Chase Moore are just showing off. This is just insane. Moore kills the boards with something that leans a little more melancholy while illmaculate resists the temptation of simply looking down on the competition. The music he makes does the talking needed. This is a major win for artist and listener alike. Nice Poe line in the opening stanza if you listen close.

Single You Out: Masstapeace – Sons Of Mephsito (prod. by C-Lance)

I have an old Masstapeace album that I haven’t listened to for years, but I don’t remember it sounding quite this good. I might have to check out the older stuff again, because their latest work has been pretty dope. This C-Lance production serves as the rubber room for the team’s chaotic styles.

Be on the lookout for their new album dropping soon.

Single You Out: John Jigg$ – War Games (prod. by DJ Supa Dave)

Damn. Jigg$ went in over this DJ Supa Dave beat and he’s letting loose a fury of hot bars. There are definitely some straight heat rocks featured on here. This cut serves as nice and memorable introduction to the latest Deep Concept Media signee.

Single You Out: P.Seize – Casualties Of Life

We are a composite image of our life’s dealings, both the good and the bad. And while the bad times may be agonizing while they are occurring, they are critical to shaping our persona. Hence this new jawn I found in my inbox from P.Seize. This song is pretty damn good if you ask me. The beat is on point and the lyrics draw you into Seize’s world.

If you are diggin’ this song, you might want to check out his new album, A Series Of Unnoticed Events.

Single You Out: Snake Hollywood – Artisan (prod. Rod Da Blizz)

Snake Hollywood is back with a new joint produced by Rod Da Blizz. This joint has an incredible intensity about it. The staccato strings in the production accompanied by other subtleties of sound really give this an extremely well rounded sound. It’s very complex and rich. Snake Hollywood matches the rich texture of the instrumental with an equal dose of superlative lyricism giving this song’s moniker some meaning.

Snake Hollywood is at the top of his game so other emcees need to step the art game up!

Illmaculate & OnlyOne – Marathon (prod. by Chase Moore)

OnlyOne and Illmaculate are back at it and knifing through this ill production from Chase Moore. The pairing has always been one of the most formidable in hip hop and it’s great to see them bringing in 2015 the right way. OnlyOne still remains one of our favorite wordsmiths on the site and on this song you can see why…Can’t wait to hear the full project.

Single You Out: Supreme Villain (Slaine & Madchild) – The Enemy (ft. Rite Hook)

Madchild and Slaine combine to form the group Supreme Villain for a track that taps on their depravity and anxiety. And who is the perfect person to provide the hook for a song of this nature? None other than the dirty-hook specialist, Rite Hook.
