Eff Yoo narrates the somber tale of what life looks(ed) through his eyes. Just a stark dose of reality for the people from his album. Bodega Businessman. The production is handled by Golden Child.
Lyriciss – Maryland (ft. Pro’verb)
Oh fuck. This is why I love hip hop. It’s cuts like these right here that makes heads nod and days brighter. When it comes to going for delf , Lyriciss and Pro’verb take it there. Simply one of the best cuts when it comes to emcees repping their spot. Coming out of PG county with that quotable wordplay. I especially feel the sports references that Pro’verb is laying down…from Len Bias to the ‘Skins there were no breaks in those 16 bars. Salute! This cut is coming off of Lyriciss’ upcoming album, The Balance. That album will be hitting you on October 29th so do yourself a service and check it.
Rome Clientel – Bang Bang (Video)
The Milita and Rome Clientel team up again for the track, Bang Bang. Rome had been kind of quiet in 2013, but he’s back delivering that official boom bap that’s come to be associated with his name. He has a new project, The Empire 3: The Coronation, dropping soon. You can download this single HERE if you choose.
Father Jah & D.R.U.G.S. Beats – Like U Never Seen Crystal Ballz? (Video)
This video and song are a little trippy but there’s something very addicting and appealing about it. It’s just not something you hear every day. And that dude, D.R.U.G.S. Beats is on a roll right now! I count three albums to date that he has completely produced in 2013. That’s what you call staying busy! Father Jah has a very unique style and this is just a sampling of his new album, Manuscripture of the Father as Inspired by D.R.U.G.S. (Dope Real Under Ground Sh*t)
The Other Guys – Memories Fade (ft. yU & Substantial) (Video)
Remember that girl? C’mon…time to forget her. So says these verses from The Other Guys, Substantial, and yU. That’s sound advice from some fresh artists from the DMV. The Other Guys’ album, The Opposite Of Sex, drops on September 10th.
Meyhem Lauren – Drug Lord (ft. AG Da Coroner & Action Bronson)
Meyhem Lauren drops this video for Drug Lord, from Respect The Fly Shit. The song features guest bars from AG Da Coroner and Action Bronson. Production is done by none other that Harry Fraud. The video is extremely creative. I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it in terms of a music video.
Wildelux – The C-Syndrome (Video)
Dope lyricism. One of the best recent demonstrations of that ‘Alphabet Control’ in a song. Wildelux is not just tossing the “C” words out of context either just for the sake of doing. Everything remains in context. Very well written and produced as well. This video reminds me that I have to check his album, Grand Champion. Definitely need to cop that.
Tug McRaw – Surrender (Video)
Tug McRaw recently dropped this video single from his most recent project, Language Arts Vol. 3. McRaw invites people into his home for the video, only so they can wave the white flag of appreciation for his musical capabilities. He is one of those artists that everyone should know about. So study up and go through his discography. He has a bunch of ill projects already to his credit and some new material in the works that I can’t wait to hear.
Skrewtape – Backyard Boogaloo (ft. MiilkBone) (Video)
I don’t need to be sold on that Skrewtape sound. I am already a fan. One thing I have noticed is that every beat I have head him on has knocked. He has a keen ear for that dope production. This time rocks this rhythm with Miilkbone who I keep seeing doing work as of late. It’s a dope track. If you are interested in copping the album, Skumbag Millionaires, you can contact him via Twitter. It was $12 for a special digital download and a physical copy of the CD, and while I have not been able to give the entire project a listen, rest assured every track I have heard thus far is of this caliber.
N.B.S. – All Falls Down (prod. by Doc Ish) (Video)
NBS releasing a video single from their album, The Dispensary, which I believe to be their best work to date. That album is the complete package. There are some big beats and nasty flows. All Falls Down is actually my favorite cut from the album. It’a just a tough track. If you can appreciate this joint, undoubtedly you will enjoy the album. Please make sure you cop.
