Wack rappers best call a full retreat because it’s not safe outside for you when Eff Yoo and Godilla’s project, They Came On Horseback, drops next week. This joint has bars that are toxic to the weak minded. The guys bring a militia with them in the form of Shabaam Sahdeeq, Adlib, Spit Gemz, and UG. Those are top notch artists delivering equally to notch material.
Single You Out: Don Streat x SlumPritt x Mitch L. Hennessy x Macabeats – Sand In The Streets (prod. by Cool FD)
Only Cool FD cold mingle this horn into the darkness of the drums and then switch it up into more of a jazzy flavor. Really dope (yet intricate) work from behind the boards. Also, the combination of Streat, Pritt, Hennessy, and Macabeats with that Cool FD flavor has really become something formidable. They are cultivating a sound of their own and I hope this continues to grow into some sort of full length project. It could be the showstopper of the year (hint, hint)
Single You Out: Tymepeace – Step Aside
If you’re not here to put the work in then Tymepeace says…Step Aside. A truly legit hip hop track with just a touch of funk. Now I just need to find out if they have more music out…because usually where there is smoke there is fire.
Single You Out: Tek Bully – Here To Stay (Prod. Joe Josh Beats)
Tek Bully is back at it for 2014 and dropping off his lead single to his forthcoming mixtape, All Else Failed. I am really enjoying this production from Joe Josh Beats. It’s a different type feel. I am going to go with ‘hi-tech boom bap”. Tek Bully holds it down for this cut just like he did for last album, Bully Shyt. He’s a raw rhymer with a ton of skill so we are definitely go to be on the lookout for that mixtape.
Single You Out: Cas Metah – A Stone’s Throw (feat. Shabazz the Disciple & Hell Razah)
This single was very unexpected. I didn’t know that Cas Metah was coming out with new music, nonetheless working with the likes of Shabazz The Disciple and Hell Razah. This winds up being a very ill collabo with Theory Hazit on the boards and Mista Sinista and EF Cuttin providing the cuts. It really doesn’t get much more hip hop than this.
Single You Out: 7evenThirty – $ Stacks & Body Bags (prod. Gensu Dean)
7evenThirty and Gensu Dean show off their mean streak with their lead single to their album, The Problem. The feel of the production has a southern appeal but there is a dark underdone that lies just beneath the drums and synth, letting you know that danger lurks.
The album drops on July 7th.
Single You Out: The 17th – Chest Tube
The 17th delivers a single from his forthcoming album, Inside Jokes With Complete Strangers. This song is based off of a real life incident that The 17th went through. The track is all about the struggle to stay alive and then taking that very struggle to learn to appreciate what you have.
The man stays on the cutting edge of making dope music, refraining from the conventional. Enjoy this…
Single You Out: DJ YRS Jerzy – Don’t Do It (ft. Chox-Mak & Bullet Brak) (prod. by North Villah)
Chox-Mak and Bullet Brak follow the dust horn samples of North Villah for this new single, Don’t Do It. I have been chasing down as much Chox-Mak music as I can lately ever since I heard his collaborative project with Bunty Beats, Life After Def. You should get on this bandwagon too before it’s too late. Dude is an ill rhyme writer.
Single You Out: Goldini Bagwell – Feeling Good
Heaven Noise came through as promised with the new Goldini Bagwell single, Feeling Good. It’s music to sit back and chill too with laid back synthesized production. Shoot, I felt my burdened lightened after just one listen. Bagwell’s new album, Secondhand Smoke (The Extended Cut) is due out on June 24th which incidentally feels like a long time.
