Two of the hardest working artists in the game come together for a new project called Good Times, Bad Times. With Body Bag Ben behind the boards, and the XP The Marxman on the mic the duo unleash a salvo of that raw hardcore hip hop in the form of Science Spoken. The beat is a banger that leads with a strong piano sample, and lyrically shots are fired at the competition, so suckas and doubters better keep ducking. Raw.
Album out now!
John Jigg$ has a new video out that I meant to get out last week but I got stuck in some things and was unable to update the site, but there’s no wrong time to share some dope music. The single Flashlights, is off of Jigg$ latest project from earlier this year, S.O.U.L., where he really illustrates that he can take the soulful and more thoughtful productions and still produce excellence. The consummate emcee, Jigg$, can rock any beat and create great music.
Yoooooo…when is THIS project coming out! Murderer’s Row is comprised of Outerspace, King Syze, and Reef The Lost Cauze, and produced by none other than the Snowgoons. And to be honest, I had to table to another write-up when I saw this drop. This is the heat rock of the week. Wow! These guys are just stepping on necks, and more vicious in their spit game than ever. With family on the line, there is more to lose, so expect not latitude from these artists.
I won’t just spit on your gave. I’ll do the riverdance… – Reef
There’s a lot to be optimistic about today, and one of the reasons is Natural Elements is still making amazing music together after all these years. Now they don’t crank out music as prolifically as they did when they did when they were younger but each time they do they make it count. Here, Swigga, Mister Voodoo, and A-Butta reflect on the changes in their lives and the things that they are thankful for. They do so over a soulful production from I.G Nexus.
Banger on deck! Duck your heads if these shots were headed in your direction. Comet Madmen comes in with some bar work keeping his verse clear and concise for all those who try to muddle their verses between their teeth! And he brings us some convincing NYC boom bap terror with Sean Lo lighting a flammable beat. This one should def be garnering some attention. It’s too good!
The ever talented Skanks the Rap Martyr gets a little creative with this song and video, Misery, from his forthcoming album M.O.S.T 2 (Minister Of Severe Torture). With accomplice AJ Lee they set their own rendition of Steven King’s Misery. A tale of a woman obsessed with a man, that winds up drugged and tied to the bed, who then winds escapes up escaping with his life. Clever verses that work well within the chorus set up this hip hop rendition! Amadeus360 sets the panic with the production!
Supastition is back! And if you don’t know, that means ‘real man rap’ is also back in the building. Supa’s been taking us on the highs and lows of life for over two decades, and on the track, Look At God!, he allows us to see some of what’s at the peak! This short video incapsulates the recognition and resiliency of what needed to be done to avoid serious pitfalls and achieve goals.
He has a new EP which I strongly suggest you all cop on his bandcamp. I am often time indifferent to where we purchase are music (as long as we purchase) but this man deserves direct support, so please go check out an pick up his EP, All That Was Left Unsaid.
No artist has commanded more listening in my music library than Spit Gemz. His discography and talent runs deep. And for me it’s a combination of things. He fuses religious imagery and an extensive knowledge with the street wisdom and creates superlative music. He also has a knack for dope beats, and he’s got a heat rock right here from Nickel Plated, with sinister scratches from Jon Doe ATL. You get it all on the single, Ice Pick Lobotomy.
Be on the lookout for a new offering on June 2nd, as Gemz and Nickel Plated put their feets on the necks of demons once more in the project, Eulogy For The Devil.
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!
