The homie Face Valyou and I got to talking on Twitter and this post was the result of that discussion. Built To Write is a group comprised of Inqwesson, Face Valyou, Doc Science, and DJ A1-D. The team is signed to Poe Mack’s, Mackstrumental Records. This track is produced by the aforementioned Valyou and has a montage of sounds going on. You can find this track off of Champion Sound: The AYP Compilaiton Volume 2.
Man, AWKWORD’s album, World View, will finally see the day of light this weekend courtesy of the folks over at DJ Booth. You can actually stream the nineteen track album right now. I have heard a multitude of the tracks off the album and they all range from “good” to “excellent”. He tackles a lot of topics on the project so make sure you put your thinking cap on for this one. His last single before the album becomes official on Sunday is called, Gas Land, and features future hip hop HOFer, Chaundon. In particular the two tackle the topic of ‘fracking”. You can do the knowledge on that HERE. Meanwhile, enjoy the track.
This track from Naturally Born Strangers (Rich Kidd x Tona x Adam Bomb) is a loosie that didn’t make their self-titled album. But this track is right up on par with the excellence that the album represents. Rich Kidd lacing the big beats and the emcees respond with some fine wordplay. If you haven’t already checked it, make sure you give the album a listen.
Another single released from Pardon My French, which is the collaborative effort from Macabeats and Cool FD. And they bring plenty of heavy artillery to assist on the mic in the personas of Dready Kruger, Mic Handz, and Dirt Platoon. Definitely peep the album…
No rest for one of our most featured emcees, Big O. He went right back to the lab and crafted a “two-for-one” with the Wake Up Freestyle, and You Can’t Stop. The second joint actually self produced. He is hard at work with the forthcoming release of The Delegation 2 which has a drop date of February 22nd. If you missed out before make sure you check out his interview Here.
I’ve been supporting these Mr. Morbid & Melph (out of the Netherlands) the moment I heard their first single. Their album, Close To The End, will be dropping on March 25th. For their latest track they solicit the rhyme stylings of house favorite, Little Vic, along with others. The track is in the same vein as their other efforts that focus on banging drums and dark orchestral samples. I am a fan.
I first heard Frank Knight on that Fraternity 10 Man Cypher video we debuted a week or so ago. I was impressed with his bars so I thought I would search out some more music from the man. It turns out that he has a new single, So High, that was just released a few days ago. The track is dope and should encourage more folks to be checking for Knight.
Eff Yoo is releasing some dope from his vaults and his first salvo comes in the form of The Tri-Lateral Commission which features the usual suspects of Spit Gemz and Starvin B. Led by a guitar riff, the three emcees spit nothing but bars and leave a hook unnecessary. I hope Eff Yoo has some more gems locked away. It’s too good to leave unheard.
Prince Po and Oh No will be releasing their collaborative project, Animal Serum, on February 4th. This is the type of sound you can expect to hear from the project. The production and the flow are very sophisticated. But the most important part…it sounds really nice to me. I have always been a fan of Prince Po’s material and looking forward to getting this album.
If your place in this world is a haughty one, watch your head piece because Matt Maddox and Sicknature are coming for that melon. King Killer is a high paced killing spree that can soon be found on Matt Maddox’s new album, Righteous Fury which drops on February 25th.
