As Reks and Hazardis Soundz prepare to unleash their Eyes Watching God album in July, they unleash what is sure to be one of the years biggest of bangers. Soundz turns it up with horns and an interesting synth backdrop. Reks, Fredro Starr, and Ruste Juxx take you through a little piece of hell with each of their bars. I love how the track gets a little more low key on Juxx’s verse as he is one of the most high energy emcees in the game. A really great collabo altogether.
Single You Out: Typ iLL – Swing Sucka (ft. Ali Vegas)
No one could say that Typ iLL isn’t putting in that work. He’s actually cranked out quite a bit of dope material but I am not sure any of his previous tracks are as nice as this. His album, The Turning Point, is coming some time in July and this is the kind of track that has listeners chomping at the bit to hear more. The track from Sickness starts off with a menacing sound and the maintains the terror throughout the track. Typ iLL really sounds nice over this production…his flow definitely takes center stage.
Single You Out: Taiyamo Denku – Ice Cold (ft. Kool G Rap x Vinnie Paz) (prod. by DCYPHA)
It’s hard to argue with the dopeness found in this song. Taiyamu Denku and Australian producer DCYPHA are out to create some night stalker music with their collaborative album, SUPERNATURAL. The album is going to drop on June 25th with a slew of dope guest spots. As a matter of fact, with Kool G Rap and Vinnie Paz on this joint, I am pretty sure that someone lost their life in the making of this song…Fire!!!
Single You Out: DJ Nucleus – Night Is Yours (ft. Joe Lazarus, Don Streat, Senica Da Misfit, Revalation)
I see the homie Don Streat popping up on a lot of releases this year. I guess heads are starting to recognize the talent…finally. This track, with the production from DJ Nucleus, is hype. Joining Streat on this track is Joe Lazarus, Senica Da Misfit, and EMS’ Revalation. It’s a recipe for a banger.
This track can be found on DJ Nucleus’ latest mixtape, Forces Unleashed Round 2
Single You Out: Planet Asia x Tzarizm – All Jokes Aside
Good gravy! This beat from Tzarizm is unbelievably fresh. I love the guitar samples lay over the drums. It’s a nice change of pace to hear Planet Asia flow over something this unique. All Jokes Aside is just a taste of what’s to come off of their collaborative album, Via Satellite.
Single You Out: Rediculous – Kalashnikov and Kush (ft. Shabaam Sahdeeq, El Gant, Famoso, Bekay)
I love the music Rediculous puts out. He always puts out fantastic beats and tags with the elite emcees in the game. In this case, on Kalashnikov and Kush he gets bars from Shabaam Sahdeeeq (has anyone done more work than him in 2014), El Gant, Famoso, and Bekay. That’s one hell of a line up!
Rediculous’ new album, In Response: Dee-Fi, is due out hopefully soon!
Single You Out: Gripz – Walk In My Shoes (ft. Marka) (prod. by Anno Domini)
How can you truly judge a man if you’ve never been where he’s been? Good question. You can’t. With the bars contained in this track you can here the intensity and frustration with which this man spits. I have been a fan of Gripz for more than just a few years. He has an unrelenting passion for rocking mics, but if you listen closely to his verses he’s also afflicted with OCD, which at times makes creating music near impossible. He doesn’t shy away from this fact. And while we may never know what that’s like for Gripz, he lets his bars go on this Anno Domini producer banger. Fuel for the fire….
Be on the lookout for Poetic Literature Vol. 3 to be put out on Anno Domini’s label, hopefully in the near future.
Single You Out: Rumorz – One Way Ticket (ft. Millyz)
I needed to break up the monotony by posting an extremely catchy song from Rumorz. I believe I have some other material from Rumorz in my iTunes but can’t place his music right now. This track’s production kind of reminds me of something I would hear on a Kid Cudi record. It’s very whimsical, like you can sit back and just transport yourself via the record.
I apologize in advance if you are humming this for the rest of the afternoon. I could not help but like it.
Single You Out: Copywrite x Surock – Trouble
It’s only one verse but Copywrite reflect on the troubles he’s seen while Surock is taking the congregation to church with a piano laced production and a sample of a church choir. The latter half of the track is completely instrumental but dope nonetheless.
This is taken from their yet to be released collaborative affair, Choose Your Own Adventure: Murderland. I don’t think this release has a date as of yet. We will keep you posted.
Single You Out: 7evenThirty – Hook Heavy (ft. Sean Price) (prod. by Gensu Dean)
Gensu Dean ain’t right for this beat! This is creeper music right here. The kind of production that haunts emcees in their dreams. Luckily 7evenThirty and Sean Price are well versed (no pun intended) in tackling this beat. Great music and great bars.
Both singles have been real nice for Dean and 7evenThirty’s collaborative project, The Problem. There are some high expectations set for this project.
