I think I said it before…I am HUGE Block McCloud fan and if these two songs are any indication as to how his new album, Four Walls, sounds, we are in for a treat. I am loving the production from DJ Waxwork.
Savant – Make Your Move (ft. Nora Perez) (Video)
I wish I had more material from Savant. The guy has a killer flow. He has been dropping some singles (I think he is done with that though) for his Crash Series which you can cop on his Bandcamp page. I hope to hear more from him as I think his talent is immense. As I understand it, this is his first video, so enjoy…
Jon Connor – Reppin 4 Flint
I am a lot late on putting some Jon Connor music on this site, so today I am going to hit you with the double dose. First this video for Reppin 4 Flint. The flow on this track is breathtaking. I kept waiting for him to slow down and he just never did.
DJ Cosla & Tribeca – The World’s Best (Video)
A couple of people of people actually shot this video over to me and I have to say that it’s kind of hot. I am not sure what project this is going to make it on, but if you like it you can cop it on Itunes.
Zilla Rocca – Full Spectrum (ft. Has-Lo) (Video)
A video coming from Zilla Rocca’s latest project, Nights & Weekends EP. This song is really just poetry in motion. The beat is my favorite off of the EP. Has-Lo even drops a few bars on the song. Enjoy.
Laelo Hood – Trading Places (Video)
I am sorry it took me almost a month to realize that this is a great song and video. Laelo Hood is a very talented emcee out of the DMV and someone whose name you should be remembering. If you haven’t checked his recent album, Fuck The World, please do so now.
Tug McRaw – Once Upon A Crime (ft. L Perfex) (Video)
I am surprised more people aren’t up on Tug McRaw. He has a dope flow and voice. I have a couple of his albums/mixtapes. This cut is off his latest album/mixtape, Language Arts Volume 3. That’s good music there. Check it out.
Jedi Mind Tricks – When Crows Descend Upon You (ft. Demoz) (Video)
More than a video, this is like a mini-movie. Really dope all the way around. Jedi Mind Tricks new album, Violence Begets Violence is in stores in four days, October 25th.
Locksmith – Devil’s Lasso (prod. by Ski Beatz)
Another dope joint given the visual treatment from the Embedded project which is dropping November 15th. This is going to be a must cop project this year. The more I hear from Locksmith, the more I believe his name needs to be mentioned along with game’s illest emcees. I mean this guy is just nasty with his flow and wordplay.
City Slickers – Phenomenal (Video)
Admittedly I am not up on the City Slickers. I found this moving through the web on some Bostonian hip hop sites and I thought I would share my find. They have good wordplay and the production was interesting. Apparently they have a reworking of a previous mixtape entitled, Still Smoking Cigarettes & Tellin Lies, dropping on the already crowded October 25th.
