Copywrite and Slug team up for a heart felt and thought-provoking song from the newly released album, The Last Supper. The sample while familiar takes on a different entity in the venerable hands of producer Swab. It’s somber and emotional as the artists have different yet personal perspectives on what it means to Turn The Page.
Copywrite has returned with a great vengeance with this new album that features so many great emcees and producers. Don’t miss out!
Marv Won is back with a video single from his recently released stellar album, I’m Fine Thanks For Asking. Higher, has our emcee showing off his skills and sharing his insights over his very own mellow and soulful production. He’s really showing off alot here with a multitude of talents. There are so many gems on this track. Here are a couple:
Niggas be dead wrong / Cuz I ain’t see no accomplishments on the headstone / Just a day of birth and when God told you to head home
It’s cold and heavy, you know how to shovel snow?
Now purchase the album. Thank you!
Napoleon Da Legend has ALOT of projects that he’s released over the last several years and always puts out dope music. But this new project with DJ Rhettmatic dropping next week called Legmatic, sounds like it might be a future favorite of mine. The beat from the Beat Junkie is off the richter with the drums and the scratching. Simply knocks hard with hip hop essence. This production really lets Napoleon Da Legend let loose with bars and a flow that truly typify The King Walk.
We just featured the single from Mic Bles and Level 13 a few days ago and now we have the video to celebrate the release of Still No Halos, which is another banger from the duo. One thing I have come to know about Mic Bles is this artist is ROOOOOOOTED in hip hop. Everything he does on the mic is a true representation of being an emcee. And the the pairing with ethemadassassin is strong. One of my favorite tracks from this year with Level 13 lacing the banger and DJ Romes giving you those extra touches.
One of my favorite tracks off of M-Dot’s new album, Daze Of Greed. The Enemy Is Everywhere is some Vinny Idol produced vengeance for your ears, as M-Dot just unleashes some pent up aggression. Over the years, as an HHD favorite we’ve seen him mature as an artist and created great concepts and craft great songs, but sometimes, you just need to let the lion out of the cage. HIs pen comes out hot on this one people!
Double A.B. & Git Beats are taking a musical break from the busy world and letting it manifest with this laid back track from the album, Lungs Of Mahalia. Recliner is simply just a mellow vibe, when you want to let it slow down and the world pass by a little. Git Beats really makes this joint marinate with a jazzy piano vibe while Double A.B. lets his thoughts and comparisons fly.
This is a slam dunk banger for 2024 and I don’t think anyone has represented the DMV harder than these gents over the last few years. The production samples Mobb Deep, and Pete Twist delivers this sound that take you back into the streets of 1994, with Jay Royale and Born Unique just firing missle after missle. This joint is ferocious and can be found on Royale’s new project, The Bea Gaddy Soup Kitchen.
Snak The Ripper’s music has ALWAYS hit me hard. He is another artist that just connects with listeners. People FEEL this way and he extrapolates those feelings and puts into the context of a really dope and well executed musical piece. He has producers Jamie Kuse and C-Lance create almost a somber lullaby tone for him to speak on the reasons he doesn’t trust people. And if one of these bars didn’t hit you, you live a charmed life.
Stu Bangas and Tek (from Smif-N-Wessun) link up for this epically orchestrated joint Hour After Hour, to keep you motivated! And this song is a great melding of talents. LIke I said their is something ‘epic’ about this track. Stu Bangas gives us a very regal feeling with this this production, and Tek just asserts his hustle into every bar. He’s not taking any opportunity lying down!
This joint is off of Tek’s forthcoming EP, MVP: MotiVational Purposes.
Supreme Cerebral and Swab are linking up for a project called the Son Of Hannibal, and I am very excited for this one. I think the vicious flows of Cerebral make a great pairing with Swab’s production! You can hear it here with Big Twins linking up for the track, Grimy Life. That somber piano loop, those drums, and those grimy flows say it all! This is a highlight foe 2024.
