Single You Out: ATOMS – Origami

a2625011226_10

Man, I was honored when a member of ATOMS approached me about listening to their new album, SANDS, and perhaps blessing the site with their music.  I came up as a hip hop listener when Cryptic One, Alaska, and Windnbreeze first put their feet in the underground scene many years ago.  They recently found commonality in making music again, and SANDS is that collective effort.  This is my favorite song out of the lot.  This production stirs up a lot of demons and the verses are all really potent.  They really all discuss the circumstances that bind people in some pretty deep situations.

Single You Out: SLiQ – Crookd [ Prod. by Tr∆lex ]

Ok.  The press release for this track and this artist was a little lacking.  This is what I know:  The artist is from Chesapeake, VA.  That’s about it.  Other than that I can tell you that SLiQ has a really nice flow and the beat with that bass line is intoxicating.  This is one of the best introductions that I have received in 2014. This is the Twitter they send in the email.   I have no idea if this is him or someone else associated with him.  Dope regardless.

Single You Out: Godz Chyld – Heavens (prod. by Jordan River Banks)

Some serious business is put in on Godz Chyld’s new record, Heavens.  I am not sure if he has put out any music previous to this record, but this joint reflects some legitimate mic prowess.  That means he knows his way around a beat.  Speaking of…I am familiar with Jordan River Banks production from his previous work with Ciph Barker (where has that guy been?) and he always drops some powerful back drops.   This joint sounds like it dropped from skies…

If you are digging this check out their collaborative project, Forever.
