Slaine gets conversational…with himself on this new single, Legend Of The Fall, from his most recent released album, The Things We Can’t Forgive. I like when Slaine gets introspective and releases his angst and thoughts in such a creative manner. He attacks and questions himself, and then consoles himself in the same manner. This is all done over a dope production from The Arcitype.
P General – Hard Hittin’ (Video)
You can not go wrong with the Bankai Fam! That’s a team that embodies what HHD is all about. And P General represents that. You’ve got some dark instrumentation to compliment the hypeness of the track. The flow is deliberate and concise, making sure you catch every point. The produciton comes from Abraham Lilson, and you can find this joint on the General’s recently released, Spawned From Legends.
Madhattan – Canal St (Video)
Madhattan is one of my favorite artists right now. I really felt his last project, Brown Water Bible, and all of his features have been on point. Here on Canal St, we get Icrerocks produced heat, while Madhattan details what the street life is like in his neighborhood.
His new album, Sink Or Swim, is out now. I have given it a couple of spins, and it’s dope from the jump to the conclusion. Make sure you check that out.
JoJo Pellegrino – Let Me Know (Video)
JoJo Pellegrino is exceptional. And as such he makes exceptionally dope music. Always excited to showcase new music from this artist. He hasn’t made nearly enough over the years, but most recently we got his project, Hitman For Hire V2. And that once again reminds us of how truly gifted this man is. He has a great energy sand style togo along with the skill.
K.A.A.N. – Decadence (Video)
K.A.A.N. is such a unique talent and I love his skill set. A unique flow, intelligent lyricism, and a diverse artistic mind when it comes to crafting songs. This track has this fun and fresh vibe to it that is sponsored by Smuff Tha Quiz. It harkens back to the sound of 1990s Souls Of Mischief or Pharcyde to me…or if you are on this level MadKap.
At any rate….I believe there is a new project from K.A.A.N. dropping on July 9th. This man is always working. Be on the look out.
Him Lo & Giallo Point – Rib Eye Cut (Video)
Not really sure what project this is off of but Him Lo and producer Giallo Point have been doing work over the last couple of years. And here is yet another banger that showcases their rapport. This has epic movie score feel to it, and you know Him Lo does not play. This is a tough track!
Fatt Father – The Truth (Video)
This is another cut off of Fatt Father’s latest, and incredibly dope album, Soccer Dad. Now this is a cut that really benefits from the visual treatment. The director really captured the rawness that Fatt Father was trying to deliver in this joint. The therapy through music and the raw state of life really comes through here.
After Soccer Dad, I really have a new appreciation about Fatt Father as an artist. His skills are completely deft and on display for the world to see, and he does so in a way we can relate. That’s pretty special.
Check out the album!
John Jigg$ x BP – Killer (ft. Shabaam Sahdeeq) (Video)
I’ve been talking about John Jigg$ actively over the last couple of days and giving his projects maximum play time because I think this guy is an an ELITE artist. I listen to alot of music and this man is at a pinnacle level. His project with BP, The Madness, is out now and is the material legends are made of. Almost every song has been given the visual treatment, and deservedly so. Here he trades bars with Shabaam Sahdeeq over an epic production from BP. If you are are still sleeping, there’s no helping you. You should know by now.
DNA – Boss50 (Video)
M-Dot put me onto this visual showcase of talent from Boston. I really enjoyed the concept of someone putting their entire city on and showcasing the diversity of talent that’s involved. I can’t really say that there were any weak bars. Obviously when you have so many eclectic styles, some you will prefer, and others you may not. But overall I think this was pretty vicious and extremely well done. Shout to DNA for putting all of these artists on and making is super dope. It definitely put me on to some new names.
Dark Lo x Harry Fraud – Premonition (Video)
Another video single from Dark Lo and Harry Fraud from their project, Borrowed Time. Premonition involves a dark piano banger from Fraud, which pairs well with Lo’s distinctive and gruff flow. It honestly sounds like the duo are catching premonition during the course of the song. Really dope.
