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.
This is the lead single off of the DCM compilation, Opportunity Knocks Part 2. The track features some some heavy hitters in the form of Kool G Rap, Maffew Ragazino, and Typ iLL rocking over some DJ Supa Dave production. Hopefully this new project will be here sooner rather than later because we are in desperate need for some new dope here at HHD.
The Absouljah’s new album, Dim The Light, is out now. I have been on the man to release this project for probably about a year now and it finally arrived January 8th. I will have a full review of the project coming soon but meanwhile I wanted to break you off with a single that DJ Low Cut sent me and produced so you can get a feel for the album. If you are feeling this, make sure you cop the project. I feel that The Absouljah has that unique blend of streets tailored in intellect so def worth the price.
Are you guys ready for this album? Cool FD is channeling his inner Hall & Oates with this smooth saxophone filled track. This is one of those ‘lean back and chill’ kind of joints. You can sit back and absorb what Macabeats is spittin’. When this album drops it’s definitely going to be a coming out party for both Cool FD and Macabeats. People are going to have to recognize the talent of both individuals b/c every track I have heard from the duo has been excellent. Pardon My French is hitting in three days.
Soul Khan was sorely missed in 2013. He did put out a few songs and a revamped EP but we so wanted more because as fans we are selfish bastards. Well, the song Supreme Righteous certainly is vintage Soul Khan. The pace of the track is certainly deliberate as if Khan wants you to get each and every clever turn of phrase. He’s got quite a few lines on the track that include movie references which will take you a back. Quality music. The production is handled by Walker Swain.
I missed out on this one a few weeks ago and I am here to grab some redemption. Shabaam Sahdeeq show his elite status in the game by rocking over this smooth Ran Reed production. He calls out the emcees with the big vocabulary that can’t connect their words right and the fake thugs in drug dealers in one breath. Sahdeeq is one of the few names that I can think of who has consistent longevity in making hip hop music. I am pretty sure this cut is off of his forthcoming project. Be ready for that.
