We all are highly anticipating Ras Kass and Apollo Brown’s release, Blasphemy. It should be a truly great effort when it comes down to it. These two gentleman are too talented to produce anything less than something outstanding. The cut Giraffe Pussy is another lead up to the project which is due out in a couple of weeks on October 28th and features some prominent names in Bishop Lamont, Xzibit (just does the hook), and Royce The 5’9″.
Rome Clientel and DJ Concept are the Dirt Disciples and this is their first track from their forthcoming, self-titled EP. In Rome’s own words: “The song came from imagining my own death and the battle over my soul between heaven and hell and what that would be like.” It’s eerie and soulful simultaneously in addition to being thought provoking. Enjoy!
Red Eye is prepping us for the release of his Fatrick Ewing project with the second installment of his Barbarian Bars series. It’s a straight 24 bars of unadulterated hip lyricism over production from Robot Oxford. I am not sure if the full project has a release date yet but it’s got to be coming up soon. Stay tuned.
Not sure I have heard Josh Boots and Phonetic before. But I am familiar with Alkota Beats. The song is a quick strike with the run time at under three minutes but it serves it’s purpose. Alkota Beats drops a digitally construed rhythm for Boots and Phonetic to rock over and the two do a fine job flipping their lines. I would certainly listen again.
Diabolic drops the final single before his album, Fightin Words, drops this coming Tuesday. So if you have been fiending for that braggadocio and in your face flavor, make sure you get in line for this release. ‘Bolic leaves no bar untouched when he invited Sean Price and Vinnie Paz to drop some lines. This is that un-traditional tough talk, ya hear me fella?
SlumPritt and SunEye link up with the extremely prolific Cool FD for another banger. The producer summons an organ in the background and then unleashes the boom bap drums for the duo to drop a consistent salvo of flames over. It’s just one of those tracks that you find yourself nodding your head to and when it’s over, you need to hunt up some Excedrin to cope with the neck pain.
I am not sure whose project this is, but this is a single for Chemistree Class EP
New single from Bo Jankans, from the forthcoming project, The Motormouth EP: Act II. For the purposes of this track he brings in Kane Mayfield and Reef the Lost Cause, making this track bang a little extra hard. I am guessing Scrilla Ventura is behind the boards though no credit was listed. It sounds like one of his concoctions to be sure. I really enjoyed the first project and am looking forward to this one.
There is no stopping this Cool FD and Don Streat connection. They are running this dopeness by listeners time and time again. I don’t see an end in sight to their collaborative effort and there should be no talk of that any way. These guys are going about the art the right way, with big beats and sharp lyricism.
When Apollo Brown and Ras Kass first announced their collaborative album, Blasphemy (due out Oct 28th), it instantly became one of the most anticipated albums for 2014. H2O is the first single from the project and this should put all heads on notice. It’s a smooth and soulful offering featuring incredible lyricism. You would be hard pressed to find something as dope as this track out now. Enjoy!
Diabolic scores a major win for his forthcoming album, Fightin’ Words, with this DJ Premier produced single. Now to be perfectly honest, if I didn’t see the credit, I wouldn’t have been able to ID this as Primo production. It certainly has a dark sound which suits Diabolic just fine. He flings words at the listener that leave us scrambling to keep up with the ill metaphors and wordplay. Album drops in late September.
