Loving Marlon Craft’s flow on this new cut, Pace, which is cominig off of his upcoming release, Homecourt Advantage Volume 1. It’s a good vibe and mantra as artists try to find their own groove and move their careers and lives in their own way. Definitely love seeing Craft evolving his music and sound ove the years.
Evidence – Taylor Made Suit (Video)
Evidence lets loose another video single from his album, Unlearning, Vol 1. This is one of my favorite cuts from the album as it has a touch of angst and darkness that is in part made possible by the one and only V Don and his production talents. The production style really suits Evidence which is scant on drums but heavy on depth. The way the guitar lends itself for Evidence to drop the truth of his life an perspective.
Bub Styles x Spit Gemz – Larger Canvas (prod. Farma Beats) (Video)
Bub Styles tags in Spit Gemz to spit some fire bars over this Farma Beats production. And this union of talent creates some serious fire from Styles forthcoming album, Budhini: Escape Artist, dropping on September 3rd. This is the kind of joint that gets the streets in an uproar so stand up and salute!
Recognize Ali – I Am The Light (Video)
I listened to Recoginize Ali’s album, Recognize The Light, in it’s entirety yesterday. and this single really typifies the vibe of the entire album. It has such a soulful element about it, yet knocks relentlessly with big beats, tight scratches, and Ali’s hard hitting lyricism. This joint is produced by Karnate. Definitely need to check out the project.
Rigz – Beach Chairs in Marcy (ft. Mooch) (prod by Chup) (Video)
Rigz and Mooch is THE combination in my mind and when Da Cloth gets together on a track…it’s a wrap for everyone. The polish and the skills are on display for everyone to see on the Chup produced, Beach Chairs In Marcy. The refinement is evident in the level in which these artists are writing and performing at.
If you haven’t check out the album, Wake Ups, yet…please make sure you do. Right now, it’s at the very LEAST a Top 5 album of the year in my humble opinion…at least.
It’s cool to be the one they ain’t seen in a while / Fuck what you had or what you did if they ain’t feeing you now
RedRum – Gladiator Sport (Video)
When I did my album review of , The Messiah Complex, this was one of the tracks I featured in that article. This is a tough track laced by Da Supastarz the RedEye and Racks (RedRum) simply body. The exchange of bars here just drives the track and the visual element of a B-Boy battle, just gives that additional hip hop perspective to the Gladiator Sport.
Make sure you check out the review and the album!
Ea$y Money x Fabeyon – Peep The Language (Video)
This is a choice track from Ea$y Money and Fabeyon’s, Beyond EaSy. Of course you got Statik Selektah on the boards which you know is going to prove meaningful, and Money’s flow is true and on point over a joint that derives inspiration from none other than Gangstarr. This is foundational hip hop right here in it’s most pure.
Dark Lo & V Don – Lamb (Video)
Dark Lo and V Don have a project on their hands by the name of Charlie Pope, which is out now, and this is I think the third single off the project. Lo has probably the most distinctive flow in the game, and that distinction is couple with Don’s unique and dynamic production stylings. You can hear that union of distinction on this track. I ran through the project, and I thought it banged hard throughout, and each song was pretty damn stong.
I can easily recommend it.
The Bad Seed – Already Dead (prod. by Snowgoons) (Video)
Very few have been as prolific as The Bad Seed has been in the last couple of years, but yet somehow that just gets discounted. This man is a beast on the mic! I’ve been listening to him since you could only find his music on 12″, and he is just getting better as the years go on!
Here he demonstrates that high skill level over a beat from none other than the Snowgoons! That’s a match made in heaven in my mind. Those subtle strings and that voice/flow sound like destiny. The results are dope and this is a precursur to the new album, ALPHA which I hope will make it’s way to us soon!
Q-Unique – Broken Man (Video)
Q-Unique is back with a brand new video and song. He gets personal and introspective over a piano driven track that delves into the capacity of what a man can take in his life. Dope track. Dope hook. I always feel the intensity of emotion from Q-Unique.
