Wyld Bunch drops his new video for, I Do Not Fail, which features Hannibal Stax. Wyld Bunch has a high energy persona when he rocks the mic and that really shines through on a track like this while Hannibal Stax provides good counter balance. mOh and you liked the beat too? Doesn’t surprise me. That’s DJ Brans! If you like this joint, check out his album, UNBREAKABLE.
¡MAYDAY! – Shortcuts & Dead Ends (Video)
When it comes to being innovative and creative nobody does it like Mayday!. They create good music that appeals to all tastes. There sound visits aboveground, underground, and all layers in between. This video and song really captures that vibe. Make sure you check their album, Believers which has a multitude of five star cuts on it,
Marco Polo – 3-O-Clock (ft. Organized Konfusion) (Video)
Don’t ask me how I missed this, but I did. Pharaohe Monch and Prince Po are back at it like they never left over this crisp Marco Polo cut from his forthcoming album, PA2: The Director’s Cut. These guys are the masters of that intricate wordplay. I mean they literally birthed that shit. Pay homage.
ullnevano x logic marselis – PROTOCOL (Video)
This is the best ullnevano track I have heard to date. This is something I could easily leave on repeat and not grow tired of. It seems like Logic Marselis is on some ‘I-Am-Going-To-Make-The-Beat-Of-The-Year‘ type shit. Wow, The production really is some of the best work I have heard in 2013. Sometimes I take for granted the music made by some of the more established HHD artists and this is a lesson learned. Just as soon as you think they hit the pinnacle, they drop some next level music for your ears!
Madchild – “Chainsaw” Featuring Slaine – Official Music Video
Madchild and Slaine are on some American Psycho steez with the release of their latest video, Chainsaw. It even comes equipped with a spoofed ending. As far s what you can expect musically: On a lyrical level it approaches lunacy. On a musical level it’s the kind of production that will stalk your eardrums for a while. This song comes off of Madchild’s most recent project, Lawn Mower Man.
Malik Ferraud – Nothing Comes Easy (ft. Emilio Rojas) (Video)
Baltimore and NYC link up when Malik Ferraud and Emilio Rojas connect for the track, Nothing Comes Easy. The message is simple: success is not easy and you have to plow through the nastiness in order to feel the victory. I like what Rojas says in his verse:
…don’t got a team, got a congregation, they all believers!
The Undergrind (Mirage512, Side Effect, D.O.S) – So Real (Video) (Dee Metto Remix)
The Undergrind, Austin, Texas’ heavy hitters are back with a hard and gritty remix for their track, So Real. Mirage512 and Side Effect call upon Swiss producer Dee Metto to give the track a grimy appeal, and they asked the right man. Dee Metto is one of my favorite producers and we will be doing a feature on him very shortly. Also, they solicit the rhymes of D.O.S. who I have never heard of before, and he brings some tough bars to the project. Definitely notable.
Motive – Rat In A Cage (ft. Apathy) (Video)
The video has some nice effects but it’s the music that is going to move you here. Apathy once again shows that he has elite skill when in comes to production. He showed it on the Demigodz album, KILLmatic, and he once again blesses us with a strong effort. His adaptation of The World Is A Vampire from The Smashing Pumpkins is nothing less than stellar. Motive and Apathy then proceed to blister the mic in their verses with line after ill line. This is the first single from Motive’s upcoming project, The DNA.
Poison Man – Armageddon (Video)
First off Poison Man is composed of Meta P, Mayhem, and DJ John Gotem. Secondly this music and video is too ill. This is actually the second feature for Mayhem of the day which rarely happens for any artist. It just happens when great talent and good timing combine. The beat by Al Gees sounds apocalyptical which suits the sound just fine. I am excited to hear what the team has in store for an album. Dope styles abound!
Kon Boogie – The Game Needs Me (Video)
The first visual off Kon Boogie’s free album has arrived. The Game Needs Me is the intro track on Believe Or Never Grow produced by V Dizzle and shot by Live Loud Ent. The video is pretty straightforward and Kon Boogie wastes no time getting in the zone. It hits some of the main landmarks in his home town of Corona Queens in a fairly creative way. Using on location shots and what seems to be Kon Boogie in front of a projector to break up the sequence and add texture. All in all it’s a great concept for some of these overused locations and definitely worth the watch. His FREE album is still available on his site
