XP The Marxman continues to drop dope music. He’s been consistent in the quality he puts out and carving out a great spot. Double Bubble, produced by Slidebeatz, is found off of his new album, Make The Devil Pray. This joint is pretty subdued with a cascading voice sample, crashing symbols, and a rock infusion. All this while XP delivers you some serious straight talk in the sixteens.
Planet Asia – Truck Jewels (Video)
New Planet Asia, Holy Water, is slated to be out today. I am hoping that’s the case because I always look forward to his music. This is an emcee’s emcee. He can rock over ANY beat. And here he represents over some audible chaos from The Architect. Planet Asia is dropping some Revalations in the truest sense of the word!
XL the BEAST – Choices (Video)
XL lets loose an introspective track from his new album, Heavy Hands. He takes the time to reflect and look back at the man he was, the choices that he made, and all of the people that compose his story in the here and now. Definitely something most of us due as we get older…take account for our lives. Very well done.
Terror Van Poo & Vinny Idol – Without You (Video)
Terror Van Poo and Vinny Idol are one of the best producer/emcee combinations going right now. The great chemistry between the two is exhibited time and time again. This track has Vinny Idol turning down the drums and up the soul while Van Poo demonstrates he can drive points home with sharp wordplay alone.
From the recently released album, Terror Like It Is.
TCF x BSF ft. Elcamino – Corners (prod. by 38 Spesh) (Video)
This is one of the Elcamino features on the the TCF x BSF collaborative project, Trust The Sopranos. Corners has Camino narrating stories of what can happen on the streets and how wild and sombering those moments can be. He does so over a 38 Spesh groove, that really holds to the perspective of the content.
The Truth & Frank B. (BadFellas) – That’s It (Video)
Man, I was waiting for Frank B’s solo album for the longest time and it never dropped as far as I can tell, so for me to see this project with The Truth, I am pretty damn stoked! And these guys do not disappoint! These bars and flows have me craving their new album, BadFellas. It drops next Friday, so make sure you all stay alert on copping that! This is the finest dope!
Fatt Father – Party Of 1 (prod. by Foul Mouth) (Video)
Fatt Father is putting a new spin on being domesticated! He has some fire bars on top of this superlative production from Foul Mouth. Party Of 1 has a bluesy and soulful vibe, but don’t get it twisted, his bars have authority behind them. He’s got one of those voices that cut through the noise and just hit you!
I can’t wait to check out his album, Soccer Dad, out now.
Asun Eastwood x Finn – Soul’s Mystery (Video)
New video from the ever prolific, Asun Eastwood and producer Finn. Eastwood has been grinding at a torrid place when it comes to creating dope music, but this has a different feel to it. An elevation, where producer and emcee are in perfect sync, fused together for this track. Finn layers the track with various samples lead by a guitar, while Eastwood finds next level comfort in the cut, as his words pour from the music. Really feeling it.
This song is from the duo’s just released project, The S.O.UL., and I am about to check the complete project at some point today. You should too!
CashUs King – GLORY (feat. Jeff Johnson II) (Video)
I’ve been fan of CashUs King since the days he was putting out projects under the name Co$$. I’ve always been infatuated with the flow. The man is just so fluid and in command of his prose. The songs almost sound like natural conversation. The track Glory has a gospel and spiritual element to it as King and Jeff Johnson II liberate some bars to keep the listener uplifted.
Evidence – Pardon Me (Video)
A super smooth joint from from one of the illest to do it, Evidence. This is the second single from his forthcoming project, Unlearning Vol. 1. When I listen to this record, I here the template to personal success and the evolution of man in music. So enjoy this next step in Ev’s career.
