Apollo The Great wages the war of lust vs. fidelity. The video approach to this song is him explaining in verse with this main girl why he wants his cake and eat it too. And just like any man, he must deal with the consequences. It’s the Wages of Sin!
Lastly, check the damn Hennesey Diaries. It was the album of the year last year here.
If Diamond D remixes your joint it is definitely worth hearing. I love how the beat flips in between verses. I can only guess that the piano laced funk is the original beat by Kid Tsunami and then, more obviously, the darker boom bap is the work of the legend Diamond D.
The other component of this track that I am diggin is that it features Yesh. I have been a long time fan of his and it’s good to see him doing work. As I understand it, he might have some more music coming out. I am going to be looking for that. He has a classic flow. Very easy going.
The other thing I am checking out is Kid Tsunami’s album, The Chase. His production is dope and that album has a grip of legends on it. Peep game.!
I am glad I caught this video from Pawz One. Breeze supplies a nice beat and Pawz One has rhymes in abundance. He challenges people to open their eyes and not just buy what the matrix (the government and the media) is selling you.
This is coming off if his album, slated to drop in the next few days I imagine, which is also called, Face The Facts. So be on standby for that…
Twisted Irish back in the building! This cut is off of the 2012 album, HEATHEN SEASON. There are many bangers on that project, of which this is one. Born Unique teaming up with Wais P hit the water with some dope rhymes in tow, rocking over some Pete Twist production.
Ok. I got confused. When I saw the name, Sleep, I automatically thought of the emcee from Oldominion who has rocked that monniker for a while.
I could have easily have turned this video when I found out this wasn’t him. I am glad I didn’t. This Sleep has not a real nice flow and he ain’t playing nice with that mic device. He is coming to take heads.
With that being said…I don’t know anything else about this man, but this track is going to make me dig a little deeper. The dope production is handled by Dope Antelope. (Yes. You heard that correctly.)
Update: Sleep has this album out from February of this year entitled, Lockland 95. What I have heard has been dope.
The Soulslicers released Slice Of Life about a month ago which might have had something to do with the release of this video. WTF Happened is featured on that mixtape, as well as being featured on the 2012 release from King Magnetic, Everything’s A Gamble Vol. 3.
Magnetic is one of the most consistent artists out right now. He’s got three albums and a slew of mixtapes under his belt and they all knock.
Definitely check the aforementioned projects when you get a chance.
I love Austin. Even in this God forsaken heat, I love my city. I also love the production from Swiss producer Dee Metto. So when Austin affiliates, Mirage512 and Side Effect teamed up with Dee Metto for this remix, it was a no brainer to post.
The Soulslicers know beats. Period. These guys are crafting their rhythms to the top of the class. I have really enjoyed everything that they have put out.
This cut is coming from their Slice Of Life mixtape which can be downloaded at DJ Booth. In terms of the emcees featured, we have bicoastal affair with El Lay and Sparkingtin each giving it a go around on the mic device.
Enjoy!
I just copped and finished listening to Revolution Cocktail a few days ago. Reks never fails to impress. He has one of the best deliveries in the game. His technique and skill has become incredibly polished over the years. He also has consistently put out dope material year after year. It’s that consistency that puts him in that ‘elite’ category. The rhyme schemes and phrases he puts together in The Molotov are nothing short of impressive. I am also a fan of the simplicity of the video. It’s pretty amazing how impressive a video can be when dealing with red/black and a head shot.
I encourage everyone to cop the album. Reks is a Top 10 emcee in my opinion and deserves the support.
I am a sucker for Greek mythology combined with hip hop flavor. A weird combination indeed but imagine how my curiosity was piqued when I saw the title: Molotovs At Poseidon.
It did not disappoint at all. I went through what remains of my inbox and this track was a glaring omission on my part. A dope production with superb lyricism from YC The Cynic.
This track will apparently be surfacing on his debut album which drops in August, entitled, GNK.
