I really shouldn’t have to say too much about this video. It was real well done. The music and the rhymes were definitely dope. Toke has got all of the intangibles to make this music thing pan out. An EP should be dropping in the summer. Stay tuned.
The bottom line to this song…stay faithful people…stay faithful.
This video was released a month ago but I just now caught it. I think this is innovative in terms of the video, and on point when it comes to production and rhymes. I like the whole “Mission Impossible” take on the video.
The Antihero Project is comprised of the following, Mehdi Cee, Johnny Illdigger, and Logic Johnson.
Because I though the music was so good I think I am going to give the album a spin. What do you all think?
HHD is proud to debut this video for, Ticking Timebomb. We’ve been talking about Big O on HHD for a year now at least. Lets get the word out regarding this talent coming out of Cleveland, Ohio. He’s offering a different sound than the Midwest might be known for typically. He’s got a punishing technique and delivery that is only amplified when you combine his talents with that of, Stu Bangas.
“You spit raps like you want to spoon or cuddle..” Haha. Ain’t that the truth! If you want the raw and uncut, and a break from the fru-fru, then this joint is for you.
Big O’s LP, Gravel Engagement, entirely produced by 4th Assassin is dropping this summer.
This particular video single is coming off of DJ Duke’s forthcoming album, Here Comes The City Brother. That project is dropping this September. Now the beat isn’t going to be anything that sticks in my head. It’s a little to minimal for me. But it does have Shabaam Sahdeeq on the mic device and that’ll get my attention.
This video and song hails from Pharoahe Monch’s most recent album, W.A.R. It’s an album I am inspired to revisit after listening to this very brief cut. The footage for the video comes from Mitchell’s Plain South Africa.
“…politicking like Stephanopolous”
I am not sure where this track is from or destined to be, but it’s definitely worth sharing. The production is coming from Soul Professa and as you can see from the title we have 9th Prince and Inspectah Deck in charge of bar droppin’. The cut is a concoction of soul, funk, and grime, so if that sounds good to you, make sure you cop the single. I especially like the way the Professa chops up the production between the 16s. Dope.
Some songs just draw the emotion out of you. PAIN is one of those joints for me. Nutso and 5th Seal bring child and sexual abuse front and center. The first verse deals with a story about a little girl who is being abused by her stepfather and her mother doesn’t believer her. The second verse tackles the subject on a whole.
The music is of course dope but what I like about this track is that someone with the credibility of Nutso is bold enough to tackle this topic. It would be equivalent to Kool G Rap talking about it in 1992. Eyes be open…
This song is a cut off of the free EP, I Plead The 5th, out now…
Spotted a new artist that has a massive amount of talent and polish in his sound. That man is Matt Black. He has a new album out entitled, Oak Street Market. I asked him if I could release, Free Refills as a single on the site before I realized he had already made a video for the track. Perfect. I love the mix of the bass line and guitar on the track. Black has a laid back flow and deep voice that sounds perfect over the production.
Illogic & Blockhead drop a video single from their most recent endeavor, Capture the Sun. The song itself showcases the talent of both producer and emcee. Up until about half way through the cut, it’s merely Blockhead’s instrumental. But just over the midway point Illogic drops his eloquent observations giving us the best of both worlds.
“…show me the prideful, and I’ll show you an unmarked grave…“
Alright, Deadstock Revival has a release date! It’s dropping on June 4th which is just under a month away. I can’t wait for that. We have heard one strong cut after another and this is no exception. Be on the lookout for Shaz Illyork…
