When hip hop is expressive and relevant it is at it’s best. You really can not get anymore relevant than this track and video footage that reflect the political and social change that started on January 25th in Egypt. It’s a very powerful piece. In addition, all of these artists have created a dope presentation of the events that transpired.
You can also download the track HERE.
This cut is off of Kap Kallous’ forthcoming, I Should’ve Kept My Mouth Shut album. It sounds dope to me. This has a different and very uptempo sound. It’s a fun track. You can leave a review and download at DJ Booth.
I just posted up a more recent song by Premonition entitled Kingship. When he got wind of that post he passed on this video for, the writer’s block. This song is coming off of his 2010 release, the build. In my mind this song just solidifies his talent as an emcee and solo artist. You can stream the album and download it if you like it.
Don’t be slow on the uptake on this one! Nu Revolution Camp is comprised of some of the DMV’s finest emcees. Specifically it consists of Wordsmith, Black Knight, Kontact, and Whitefolkz. This cut is taken off of their newly released mixtape, Super Hero Theme Music Vol. 1. I just got done listening to the project in it’s entirety and I have to say that it is EXCELLENT. I hope to be able to review it here soon. If you like what you hear on this song, please DL it. It’s got some infectious jawns.
I have one Poetic Death album in my collection, apparently the man will soon have nine in his discography when he releases Shakespeare Science. That’s pretty prolific in my opinion. Poetic Death is an artist who is hitting planes of content that few venture upon. Hamlet is a dark track asking questions probably most of us don’t want to know the answer to. I am going to try and get more information on Poetic Death and his new release. Meanwhile you can check out his website HERE.
Now this is a dope video! Jesse Abraham brings the visuals to light for his latest single, Spiderman On Vitamins. Sleep not and be proper!
I know you are thinking, “Who the hell are these guys?”. I was thinking that initially too. I do know who Nico The Beast is. He’s been responsible for a lot of dope audible treats in my headphones so I thought I would give this some shine. I like the fact that there is some more dope hip hop acts coming out of the midwest with Caine and Big J representing. Unfortunately I don’t know a thing about them. I don’t even know if this track is supposed to appear on a particular project. I will try and find out though. The production was handled by Avalanche, and I thought it was a pretty nice beat.
I am just now getting familiar with JNICS as an artist, listening to his DJ Booth features and what not. I know he has the talent to make an impact in the game. Of course, knowing the man is going to put out an album completely produced by Numonics definitely secured my interest. Numonics has been the epitome of consistency lately, so I knew the beat would be hot. I was not wrong. JNICS and Numonics project drops this Tuesday coming up. The project is entitled Champion Rizla. I will be checking for it.
Admittedly this video is a little weird for my taste, but I primarily wanted you to hear the music which I think is quite good. Dolls like that just kind of scare me. You’ve got to give a shout out to the Days Inn for the advo in the video haha.
At any rate, enough of my banter. This track is dope. I have yet to check The Doppelgangaz new album, Beats For Brothels, Vol. 1. But if the majority of the tracks sound like this, I may just have to scoop it up. You can check out some older material on their Bandcamp to get a feel for what they are doing. I will keep you posted.
I am a little slow on the uptake. I bought Matock’s album, 2707 about two weeks ago. I really liked it. I think it’s his best work to date and as I was perusing the web last night, this video popped up. It’s from late 2010 but I still think it’s worth the look. You can see this Chicago emcee has a lot of talent and really takes no shorts with his aggressive rhyme style. He has not pulled any punches in his career and this album is no different. Congrats to Matlock on his fine effort! You can click the appropriate links to visit his Twitter and purchase the album via Itunes.
