Phene’s God On A Greyhound has been out for a long minute now so seeing this video was a surprise to me. A pleasant surprise. God On A Greyhound is a beast of an album that dropped a couple of years ago so the visual treatment for this track is past due to say the least. But I’ve seen Phene’s name pop over the course of the last few months so maybe word is getting around about the man’s talent. Quan is responsible for the production and Ragazino needs no introduction.
Locksmith – Bear With Me (prod. by Mike TopNoch) (Video)
Nobody does real-life-shit better than Locksmith. He is able to touch on topics that people can relate to and gets personal like no other. His music is probably the best demonstration of how powerful and moving hip hop can be.
His album, The Green Box, is going to drop May 7th.
Mic Beatz of Uzual Suspectz ft. Blaq Poet – Freedom Of Speech (Video)
Mic Beatz drops bars accompanied with Blaq Poet. I saw Blaq Poet was on the track and thought to myself: “If Blaq Poet took part in the cut then this guy, Mic Beatz must be decent.” He’s better than decent. He’s got a nice flow and dope delivery. This track is off of the Murder He Wrote album which I am guessing has not dropped as I can not find it on the internet. If any one knows differently, hit me up.
R.A. The Rugged Man – The People’s Champ (Video)
I have always loved R.A. The Rugged Man but as the years have gone by I feel like he has just gotten better and more polished. A consummate emcee. This track is produced by Apathy who has been on a tear lately (see the Demigodz album review). R.A. The Rugged Man showcases his dojo which includes every fight style imaginable, including, but not limited to, Watermelon Slicing and fighting with chainsaws. All standard fair. Legends Never Die is going to drop on April 30th and we are going to want to be looking out for that.
I’ll rip out your windshield and shit on your dashboard
No doubt.
Sean Price – Bar-Barian (Video)
Sean Price provides the video for one of the cuts off of his Mic Tyson LP from late 2013. It looks like he found some actual barbarians for the video shoot so kudos on that. All in all it’s a dope cut.
Intuition & Equalibrium – Finish With A Kill (Video)
I should have posted this earlier as Intuition is exceptionally dope in my book, plus this song features a lot of cardio, so as I watch, I too feel like I am getting the work out minus the bloody ending. A dope all around song….
Skeezo – Lost Love (Video)
Skeezo lets loose the visuals for Da Beatminerz produced joint, Lost Love, off of his Face Value EP. And no lie, the EP is legit. It’s all about those raw rhymes and big beats. Please make sure you cop the project and check out our interview with Skeezo from a few weeks past.
CapCizza – Mighty Hammer (ft. Godilla) (Video)
I am not sure if I have ever heard of CapCizza before. Yeah, I am pretty sure this is my first sampling. But I am damn sure I have heard from Godilla before. The Fresh Peddler fixes up the boom-bap and the two emcees lay it to rest. All in all, it’s the hard-hittin’ material you have come to expect here on HHD.
A couple of other points:
1) This track is coming off of CapCizza’s The Magic Hour Bonus Tracks.
2) If you didn’t catch the initial offering, you can DL The Magic Hour now.
Dubby – Game of Thrones (Video)
Ok. I almost didn’t check this. At this point in the game I judge a book on a cover. I never knew blogging would come down to this but when you are getting dozens of submissions a day it is what it is…
I almost passed on, Dubby, because, well, I don’t like the name…Dubby. But that’s not pertinent. What is pertinent is that Dubby can flow and the song goes. He’s got a gravelly quality in his voice that you would not expect. I like it a lot. It’s just plain good music.
If you want to download this track…DO SO.
Bobby Capri – Tunnel Vision (ft. Sean Price) (Video)
Bobby Capri makes the trip to NYC to give rhymes the visual treatment with Sean Price. You can also download this track for free.
