ILL WERD & XP (Rhyme Addicts) – We Here (prod by Dee Metto)

Dee Metto shot this jam over to me via Twitter and it sounds good too me.  Dee Metto has been consistent in 2012 dropping banging production and working with dope artists.  Now I am admittedly not familiar with Ill Werd & XP but they have that grimy flow to rock over this hard production and I can get behind that.

This song will be coming off of their collaborative project, 3TheHardWay which has not said date with the exception of being forthcoming.

 

Mike Beatz – Heaven (Video)

This video and song are the best way to start your Monday.   Mike Beatz not only spits venom on this track but he produces this banger as well.   The beat is straight hellfire (ironic) and lyrically Beatz takes shots at the state of affairs in hip hop.  Don’t ride on his coat tails and joch him when he’s famous, then it’s too late,

 

Illmaculate – Walk On Water (Fear of God) (Video)

Two of my favorites link up for a project entitled,  CHRON: Legacy.  Illmaculate stars over Lawz Spoken production.  That’s going to prove an ill combination as this track shows and proves.   Lyrically, it gets no better than how Illmaculate  flips on this cut.  His flow on here is second to none.  Meanwhile, Lawz Spoken remains one of the dopest yet most unheralded producers in the game.  I love the work he did on the first CHRON project with Only One and this sounds just as good if not better.

Beware.

C-Rayz Walz – The Digi-Box (Video)

It’s ok for me to be bias, right?   Of course it is!  HHD is littered with my bias.  But one thing I can tell you as an unequivocal truth is that C-Rayz Walz is ill.   He is one of my favorite wordsmiths period.  He’s in the same league to me as Ras Kass and Chino XL as a lyricist and that’s the highest praise that I can pay the man.

The highest praise he could give me?  He just did in this video.  Throughout the song he pays his respects to various blogs and web venues that have shown him love and low and behold, HHD is on there!   It’s a great surprise and honor.

But on the merits of the video alone this deserves posting.  The artistic touches and the way he “embeds” his video on the various web locations is awesome. You can find this track off of his latest album, The Code.
