The Audible Doctor dropping some visuals from his studio in the sky! With no back up plans if this hip hop thing fails, the good Doctor goes for delf with his latest video single, Wings Part 2. The cut hails from his last EP, The Summer Tape. His rhyme skills are under appreciated if you ask me.
MarQ Spekt & Blockhead – Breakfast Club (ft. Philly LoLife AllStars) (Video)
Good gawd, man! Now this is one ill posse cut. Blockhead KILLED it with his instrumentation on this. I love the flutes and riffs over the snapping drums. He gives this track a lot of character. And while I may not be familiar with the members of the Philly LoLife AllStars,they along with MarQ Spekt really came at the track with some serious bars. This track has alot of personality. The video was also done exceptionally well.
The track is to be featured on MarQ Spekt and Blockhead’s collaborative project, JustPlayWitit.
N.B.S. – Til’ The World Ends (ft. Reks) (produced by Alkota) (Video)
N.B.S. takes it from the salon back into the streets and then proceeds to sever heads over a hard Alkota produced rhythm, with an assist from R-E-K-S. This joint will instantly be added to my rotation. It just knocks. I just copped their new album, The Smokefest, earlier today. I haven’t listened to it yet, but there’s no doubt that the albums going to be filled with bangers.
Rayce – Sanctuary (Video)
I was waiting for a way to show case this song, Sanctuary, from Rayce, and this evening I get wind of this new video. It’s an ‘ask an you shall receive’ sort of thing. Anyway…Rayce invites the many elements of hip hop into this track from the krylon to the B-Boy stance, you get a little taste of it all over this DJ Impact beat. Rayce is a guy you should be looking out for. He’s got good command of his craft and makes good music.
Rayce never told me if this track was destined for a particular project, so you will just have to enjoy for the sake of enjoyment.
Esoteric & Stu Bangas – Ease Up (ft. Planetary, Reef the Lost Cauze & Blacastan) (Official Video)
New video off of Estoeric and Stu Bangas’ upcoming album, Machete Mode. The album is available for preorder on itunes right now and is slated to drop on November 26th. This particular cut has a tag team battle taking place over some ill Stu Bangas’ production. It’s Planetary and Blacastan taking on Reef and Esoteric. You decide the victor!
Midiflash – You Ain’t Ready (ft. M-Dot x Nutso x DJ LP2) (Video)
This is a track was originally featured on M-Dot’s Layer Cake mixtape last year. It’s now been resurrected and embedded on producer Midiflash’s new mixtape, Fresh Out The Boombox. Regardless of where you hear it, you know it’s dope. The song features two of the most respected emcees…period. M-Dot and Nutso have the talent and know work…respect the game!
Alterbeats x Mic Handz – My Life (Video)
This video is full of changes of direction, dope production from Alterbeats, and raw rhymes from Mic Handz. Every video that’s done for an Alterbeats’ cut is just extremely well done. There’s no getting around that. There’s also no denying Mic Handz’ opportunity to achieve his dream. He has the skill, the production behind him, and the cosign from a lot of other dope artists. Let’s see what he does next to make those dreams a reality. Meanwhile, make sure you cop Class Struggle if you have not already.
Aul Purpis – Big Boy Shoes (ft. Craig G) (Video)
First time that I have featured Aul Purpis on HHD, but I am guessing this won’t be his last time. He’s got the right combination of voice, lyricism, and boom bap. Plus, obtaining verses from the rhyme legend, Craig G does not hurt. The beat from the severely underrated Fel Sweetenberg is heavy handed in a good way.
LATYRX (Lateef + Lyrics Born) – Exclamation Point (ft. Forrest Day) (Video)
It’s unorthodox. It’s different. It’s fun. Be grateful that the team of Lateef and Lyrics Born have come together again to form the powerhouse of Latyrx. These guys are originals when it comes to nonconformity in hip hop. They were pushing boundaries when the rest of these artists were scared to even put a foot outside their proverbial box.
Check out their album, expertly titled, The Second Album.
