Cas Metah and Wonder Brown of the Scribbling Idiots put the visuals to the strongest track on their album (my opinion), The Darke Bros. Dope verses about throughout the track, especially with the guest verse of Copywrite to account for.
Kap Kallous – Give Me A Reason (Video)
Kap Kallous. That man’s effort in this game is relentless. He hits the masses up constantly with music. And what makes it better is that it’s actually, good music.
Illogic & Blockhead- Poster Boy (Video)
This is my favorite track off of the duo’s Preparing For Capture EP. It’s an excellent project that everyone should be checking out. The lyricism shown here is on par with anything else you will hear this year.
Reef The Lost Cauze & Snowgoons – F*ck Rappers
Excellent video. I love the comic book technique used in the film. I have always enjoyed the music that Reef makes. This joint is off the album Your Favorite MC, which dropped last fall.
John Robinson & Kyo Itachi – Mystical Strings (Video)
This song is coming off of John Robinson’s forthcoming project, the path of Mastery. I enjoy Kyo Itachi’s use of the strings on this cut (ala the title of the song). Itachi has been a part of quite a few dope projects in the last couple of years so my hopes are high for this album.
e.d.g.e. – Ed Pengame (Video)
I need to focus more on this Vancouver artist, e.d.g.e. This artist just gets it. He’s going to be different and keep kids guessing and that’s a refreshing mentality. I like the on and off beat style of the video. I listened to his latest project, Destroy & Rebuild and was really impressed.
Okwerdz & Dirtbag Dan – Hate Me Cuz I’m Great (Video)
The battle rap scene can be a very fickle arena and very polarizing place. I am sure Okwerdz and Dirtbag Dan are very aware of that fact but what we might forget is that these guys can make dope music. Now, for a few minutes, you can remember that before you resume hating or loving…whichever is your choice.
Layne Harper – Medicine Cabinet (Video)
Layne Harper drops one of the heaviest, yet dopest videos of 2012. This track has a lot of heart to it and in all likelihood we all know someone who has an addiction that’s hurting themselves. Medicine Cabinet is a look not only into the ill of drug use but mortality as well.
Sycksyllables – Gun On Me (Video)
This is a hard, hard cut. I don’t know anything about gun talk and this video is a little bit out of my league but the music was hot. Sycksyllables has a slick flow that I will be checking for in the future.
B.A.D. Company – Deep In The Canvas (Video)
This is my second favorite song from B.A.D. Company’s latest album, Bars and Drums. The concept for the video is really dope and DJ Limegreen’s beat is like an adrenaline rush.
