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: Goldini Bagwell – Climb Trees
This is some new Goldini Bagwell from his recently announced, Smoker’s Jacket series. He will be dropping a new single on the 14th of every month. This production from Dalton Jay gives Bagwell a lot of room to breathe and lends itself to creative license.
Stay tuned for more dope.
Single You Out: Union Blak – Street English
I am not up on Union Blak but the project is put out by the Effiscienz camp which has been on a roll as of late (ie Fel Sweetenberg’s latest album). Street English is a nice track that has a throwback appeal ala Gangstarr in the mid 90s and it happens to be the title track for the album dropping on February 9th.
Single You Out: Little Vic – Ashtray (prod. by Slyvestbeats)
Little Vic is firing up the new music with some intelligent wit over some slick production by Slyvestbeats. I mean who else can incorporate Machiavelli and the Borgias into a verse? I think that’s a little too Italian for y’all. At any rate, I can’t wait for his new mixtape, The Loosies Collection to drop.
