So this is MaLLy holding his tongue? Yeah. Right. This song is so ominous and dark that shivers started shaking the spine. Everyone delivers superlative bars and the production is phenomenal. This track will be found on MaLLy’s upcoming album, The Colors Of Black.
One of my favorite duos is back at it and innovating. The first thing you will notice here is the awesome cover art. Very 70’s! The second thing you will bear witness to is the AWESOME production from Eddie Logix. The production is perfection with that killer sample in conjunction with those drums. But Passalacqua injects their own vision of perfection onto the track with clever lyricism and a chemistry that gets better and better with every release. They are incredibly versatile. I started this blog working with Mister and Blaksmith and that’s not changing any time soon.
This cut is part of a compilation CF HUSTLE: Portrait of A Gentleman and that will be dropping on March 24th. Stay Tuned!
Sav Killz collabs with Frank Knight (The Fraterinity) to rock over this Sebastian Sartor banger. I am not sure if this slated to be on a project but knowing how prolific Sav Killz has been in the past, we can bet that a project is right around the corner.
Good Gravy! There’s some dope lyricism to be found on this cut right here! This is yet another DOPE cut from the Scribbling Idiots’ forthcoming album, Invitation Only. The emcees are guided by the strings within the production and all emcees drop some dope gems but this line from Cas Metah had me run it back a couple of times:
Leave the street sweeper in the back soldier / Or I’ll be forced to leave blood on the door like Passover
Step your bible game up!
King Mez reminds us that he is pretty damn good and crafting excellent music with the track The Coming. This track is a loosie that prefaces Mez’s new project, Long Live The King II. It will not be on the album. The production by Elite incorporates a lot of different sounds. The piano and vocal sample are top notch as are Mez’s lyrical abilities
This new Cunninlyguists track sounds like a leaf in the wind (compliment). It’s very airy, light hearted, almost nonchalant. The track is off the forthcoming, Strange Journey Volume 3 which drops on April 1st.
Broadway Barrett releases his first single of 2014 in the form of, In My Blood. On the track Barrett narrates his desire to survive and succeed so he can keep his plate full . The track has a lot of jump to it with an organ really being the driving factor within the production.
As (sometimes) usual, I am not sure if this track is part of a larger picture, but is certainly worth the listen.
When I first saw this in my inbox I had to do a double take. Was this the Canadian emcee/producer from the late 1990s teaming up with the NYC AllStar Emcee from the same era? Well, I was half right…it is Frankenstein from a couple of decades ago, but it is not the same AZ we are all familiar with. This song is actually circa 1994 and from a soon to be released compilation called The Science Of Sound. I am not sure if the entire project is all old material but we will find out for sure on March 18th.
I am, however, digging this uptempo song.
Another joint off of Illmaculate’s yet to be released Clay Pigeons EP. This time we have long time affiliate, Chase Moore offering his services as producer. I love the keys Moore uses in his production and Illmaculate is just such a well-polished emcee that you just expect the good stuff…and that’s what we get.
Frank Knight is starting to keep me abreast of his musical goings-on and I am glad for that because the man is very talented. Kings N The Crown is a track that can be found off of the Dean’s List On Tour Vol II Mixtape. I can’t speak for the entire project but this track features all of the essentials in the form of slick verses and big beats.
