Are you kept in the comfort of your conformity? Do you feel safe in your ignorance? Does too much knowledge bother you and it’s easier to be stuck on stupid? If you answered yes to any of these questions then DO NOT listen to this song. It will surely give you anxiety. Illmaculate knows that most of you are comfortable in the ‘pretend’ world and he’s anxious to rattle your cage over this Chase Moore beat. This is the lead single to his new album coming out in March, Clay Pigeons.
Verbal Kent released the album Sound Of The Weapon yesterday. The album is completely produced by Khrysis but the title track is given the 9th Wonder Remix treatment. The remix adds a dash more soul to the original making the song even more heart felt.
Finally, the new Pawz One album, Face The Facts, has dropped and to add fuel to the fire he enlists the services of Bean Town spitter, Termanology and C-Arson provocateur, Ras Kass to spit over this Default production.
If you don’t cop this album, you’ll be sorry.
Reef The Lost Cauze collabs with Masta Ace and Jaysaun for the banger Power Moves. I am not sure what project this joint is destined for but it certainly bangs. Any time I see Jaysaun providing guest bars, I know the joint is about to get bodied. The man has no soft verses. Psych Major on the beat. Enjoy!
Rome Cee’s Earthside album is real. It may even top my previous favorite in his discography, Grey Area. illMeasured (good to hear from you my man) hit me with this gem and trust me when I tell you that this joint is indicative of the effort of the entire album. Really superb material. The beat and the verses meld into a pot of greatness…enjoy.
The Scribbling Idiots are back together and making that good hip hop music. This is a crew that is well-rooted in the hip hop fundamentals and have a since appreciation for the culture. They are also prone to making either thought provoking music or uplifting joints. I think this qualifies as the latter of the two. At any rate, this track is just the sampler of what lies ahead when the crew drops their album, Invitation Only.
I am honored to be the first to bring to you The 17th’s new single, God’s Away On Business. I interviewed The 17th last year because the man’s writing skills are of the next level variety. He also does his own production and his beats are on par with some of the best names in the business. So when something new drops from the man, I want HHD to be at least a small part of it.
God’s Away On Business is bound to turn more than just a few heads. While not necessarily refuting personal belief systems, The 17th does make an interesting and well made case to turn those systems on their head. He provides a number of different analogies to make his points, controversial though they may be. He addresses the difficulties in believing in someone he has never seen just because society feels compelled. Check this small snippet of the song:
Oh God, dear God, I hope that you exist. So i can live my life with purpose and with happiness. And when I put my hands together and I pray to you, please dont have something else to do. To you, from me, to you.
This song is the first single from The 17th’s forthcoming project, Inside Jokes With Complete Strangers. Stay tuned.
Supastition’s Honest Living which is entirely produced by Croup is due out on Tuesday, but to wt one’s appetite, he released the single, Eardrum. One of the things I have always liked about Supa is his candid demeanor and view points intertwined with an incredible refined talent to rock mics. He is the people’s emcee.
Sean Price and Chino XL are now featured on the remix version of The Danger. Esoteric also tailors his own verse to give the song a new appeal. Chino XL of course drops one of those verses that leave your jaw dropped. Just give the man creative license and he is liable to steal the damn show.
This version is only going to be made available via 7″ record. So suck it digital era…haha.
I got some more material from The Fraternity on deck. This time, J-Scriptz drops the the title track from his forthcoming album dropping March 18th. The whole album is produced by Rez The Silverback. This is a quick yet introspective joint and hopefully gets you tuned for the album.
