Cashus King (fka Co$$) is back with a new album, CHURCH (of the good thief). This is one of the iTunes bonus cuts from the album and he packs a lot of soul and feeling into this song. The thing that separates Chasus from his contemporaries is the way he melds mortality into the thoughts of the divine. Nobody relates concepts of humanity quite like him. I can’t wait to check the album.
Single You Out: Heddshotts – Elephant In The Room (prod. by Junior Makhno)
Second single from the collaborative effort from US emcees, Heddshotts and French producer, Junior Makhno. You can tell from a song like Elephant In The Room that this union was inevitable. They build on each other’s strengths as Makhno laces the banger and the Militia slay the mic. The project is called Circus Of The Freaks and is due out on December 16th for free.
Don’t miss the gift!
Single You Out: Makempay – Put In Work (ft. PrimeTime) (prod. by Dee Metto)
Dee Metto is always breaking us off with some dope music and this joint from Makempay is no different. Put In Work is a cut that’s going to creep in your mind and lurk there for a while. Metto laces this laid back rhythm that also carries with it a little intensity. Makempay and guest, PrimeTime then serve the listener a healthy helping of dope bars. You couldn’t ask for more.
Single You Out: Born Villains – The Wildest (ft. Adlib and Nico The Beast)
This is a track from Born Villains new, self-titled project which you can cop for $7. The whole project is chocked full of hard beats and even harder rhymes. I am going to have a hard time doing a full review of the project with my existing time commitments but I wanted to get it at least some recognition. It certainly deserves a listen. This particular song features Adlib and Nico The Beast.
Check it out!
Single You Out: Heddshotts – Get Ready (prod by Junior Makhno)
When it comes to Heddshotts and Junior Makhno, they are all about bringing you that hardcore hip hop. And this track, Get Ready, is just the first shot from the salvo. Their project, Circus of the Freaks, will be dropping on December 16th. This track is a little reminiscent of some Gravediggaz material. Enjoy.
Single You Out: Little Vic – Bad Blood (prod. by Skammadix)
New loosie from oft supported Little Vic, this time with production from Skammadix. Still current word of his album that’s been discussed for years but every once in a while he delivers some newness to keep the name buzzing. A tenacious lyricist, no doubt.
Single You Out: Taiyamo Denku – Bottom To The Top (ft. Black Rob and Urban Legend)
Taiyamo Denku put me on to his latest piece of work, Bottom To The Top, produced by Dcypha. My first thought when hearing this track is that this is hype hip hop lullaby. The music from Dcypha definitely lends itself to a more mellow approach but these emcees are not interested in anything soft. Denku, Black Rob, and Urban Legend all drop some hard hard bars with their own unique stylings. Stay tuned for more music from Denku. Dude is always working.
Single You Out: Vorheez – Leverage (prod. by LuvJonez)
I feel like I have been waiting for this Vorheez album, Say Anything, for a couple of years at least. Both Vorheez and producer LuvJonez take a laid back approach to this latest cut, Leverage. The production has almost a melodic quality to it while Vorheez’s voice cascades many dope bar across it.
As soon as I hear that the album is dropping, I will let you all know.
Single You Out: Gripz – One Bar (prod. by Ear2ThaBeat)
Gripz comes back with a ferocious new single from his forthcoming album which will hopefully be dropping in the first quarter of 2015. This song provides an intensity that is currently missing in the game. Gripz’s flow seems more tenacious than ever. If the album maintains this kind of lyrical fury we could all be in for something special.
