I wasn’t up on Cee before this video, but I saw that Hezekiah made a guest appearance and thought I would give it a chance. I am glad I gave it the chance. This is good hip hop music right here. It’s got a mellow and light hearted vibe to it. God forgive me for saying it but it almost sounded…fun.
I am going to have to give Cee’s new album, This Is All I Know, a chance.
This is one of the better videos thus far in 2014. One Dae brings the Marco Polo track, Bang This, to life through the creativity of director Steven Tapia. Really dope track from one of the best albums from last year, Daes & Times. Check it!
It’s exciting to see the progression that MaLLy has made as an artist throughout the last few years. The man has really made great strides and is willing to take chances with his sound. One can do that, when there skill level is so high. This song can be described as an ‘anthem to the resistance movement’. The idea being that when we as citizens ‘step out of line’, the penalties are harsh and brutal. We are always under the threat of martial law. This is just one of many statement pieces that MaLLy has on his new album, The Colors Of Black.
Reks is simply one of the finest emcees in the business. His lyrics are razor sharp and Hazardis Soundz delivers the banging rhythms. Check out their latest mixtape, All Eyes On Reks, to hear more choice cuts just like this. Their new album, Eyes Watching God, is due out later this year.
Rayce continues to impress with his intricate wordplay and keen ear for great production. I have heard three tracks from Rayce and all of them have been solid. There’s a lot going on lyrically on this track and one thing you know for sure is that with Rayce’s turn of phrase, he has the true heart of a poet. He’s got that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow type flow. Think on it!
Check out Racye’s latest EP, A Travelling Man. I am about to go in on it right now.
Not too many artists are willing to tackle the topic of Werewoloves…as a matter of fact, I can only think of two artists: Esh & Arc. But they do it incredibly fresh. The beat by The Arcitype is a calculated frenzy while Esh tells some ghoulish tales with poignant flow. The video is also well done as the director meshes a horror movie montage with Esh doing his thing on cam.
I constantly check back and listen to their collaborative EP, Nightworks. It’s that damn good!
Let me be frank here: If Born Allah and Erule dropped anything, no matter what, it would get posted here. Legends! They are some of my favorite rhymers and bring that classic sound back to the mic. This particular track is coming off of the Dub Fritterz EP. Other than that, I don’t know too much about it. I can only hope there is more music on the way because it’s been waaaayyy too long. Recognize!
This is a great song off of Jermiside and Danny Diggs’ album, Quiet As Kept. In my mind, Bloodlines is a track that requires one to at one’s past so they can move forward in their future. A really introspective track from an artist that has a knack of making his listeners think.
Comet releases a single, NOT from his forthcoming album, Mr. Rugby. This beat is a subtle banger. It creeps on you and then all of the sudden you have your neck snapping. Be on the lookout for more music from Comet in the near future.
Sound Of The Weapon from Verbal Kent and Khrysis are in full effect! I am not sure which number single this is from the album. They have released several, but with each release, video or otherwise, they articulate how dope the project is. Make sure you give it a listen!
