When they say “the song cries”…this might be case in point as to what that means. Plazbo laces a melancholy and soulful joint for Rigz to explain his story, and be Grateful to all who are able to listen to it.
Super talented emcee who is grinding relentless. Again…does it need to be said again…Da Cloth.
Did I know that Krum and Playdough are the same person? Did I realize and forget? No matter. He was dope before, and he’s just as dope now, dropping great music with great messages. I love the production, the lyrics, and the power behind the track. Really dope cut.
He’s got a new album, DART, dropping on October 26th. I would check for that.
Lateb needs some recognition for his album, Undone, with producer, L.O.B. This is the perfect opportunity. And while this is not my favorite track from the album (that accolade goes to the track Grey Sunshine), this is certainly a hot one. Some artists, shouldn’t do their own choruses, but Lateb has the talent and skill to do that effectively, which really enhances the vibe of the song. He does that on several tracks on the album, and gives the project a rich, yet haunting dimension. Check it!
Dark Lo and Havoc team up for the new project, Extreme Measures, which is in digital stores everywhere. On the track, Mob Tales, you also get Havoc spitting on the mic (in addition to producing) which is both a privilege and a rarity. The sound here is both gutter and glorious as this proves a perfect pairing.
Marlon Craft drops another video single for his just released project, Homecourt Advantage Vol. 1. This track is a short one, but has some serious spice to it, as Craft spits it salty on all the naysayers over a hype beat from HaqqMav. Really a dope track, as he continues to accelerate with the momentum built in 2021.
Crossing The Rubicon, is the really dope album from producer IceRocks, featuring a host of talented emcees. Two of those emcees, Rome Streetz and Madhattan, join him on this soulful banger, Kennedy. I love how IceRocks uses this sample to his beckoning while the emcees flip precise sixteens.
Both of these emcees really get it done, professionally. I’ve been listening to ALOT of Madhattan over the last couple of years, and very few have put in the work Rome Streetz is doing over the same time period.
Rasheed Chappell and 38 Spesh got back cooking in the lab and have a new project on their hands, Checks & Balances. I just copped it yesterday and haven’t given it a full listen yet, but this track probably says it all.
We Outside is another haunting banger produced by 38 Spesh, who I will argue adamantly is one of the TOP producers in the game. Chappell and guests, Maf and B.A. Badd, drop some really impressive bars that show case how dangerous the street corners can really be.
A top choice track for 2021!
Noveliss is dropping some knowledge gems over this smooth track from Dixon Hill. I am REALLY feeling this laid back vibe and the energy on the track. Some times music is just built to make you feel good, and this is the case here, while at the same time being layered lyrically in Noveliss’ life perspective, which he articulated perfectly.
He states in the description of the video:
Inspired by the 20th Hexagram in the I Ching: The Ancient Chinese Book of Changes; Observing/Contemplation.
I will have to take his word for it. What I do know is it serves as inspiration to the listener as well.
New album, Book Of Changes, entirely produced by Dixon Hill, is coming November, 19th.
Vocab Slick is preparing to release his new offering, Language, on October 29th, and What It Is, is the first appetizer from the platter. Surebert laces the beat as Slick showcases his self-decribed “refresh” as he comes with a clean slate as he brings us his new art. Sounds like we can expect dope things, as the album comes to fruition in a little over a month.
Not entirely familiar with GREA8GAWD, but his sound goes heavy on his new single produced by Thanos Beats, Gem Star. Really tough track with that street flavor, as GREA8GAWD asks for Allah to help him refrain from violence in this cold world.
Dope production. Dope command of the flow and the bars. This is a win!
New project, Gawd Talk, coming on December 1st.
