This is one of my favorite joints from 1982’s (Statik Selektah x Termanology) album Still 1982. The beat that Statik cooked up for this is the sure shot and when Term links up with Nems it’s nothing but gully raps. And Beanz definitely keeps the momentum going between each of the verses on the chorus. It’s tough, and you shall enjoy.
Jaysaun – Bos x Ct x Philly (ft. Blacastan & Reef The Lost Cauze) (Video)
A dope joint from Jaysaun’s new album, Kill Ya Boss, featuring stalwart emcees Blacastan and Reef The Lost Cauze. And it doesn’t take a listener long to realize that this song is going to knock. But this is just the tip of the iceberg, my friends because Jaysaun’s album is amazing in the sense that it is relentless in its boom-bap prowess but also, in the emotion, he put into this work. It’s quite powerful.
I say it a lot…but you Need to pick this album up…you can’t let 2018 pass without copping.
Curly Castro – Walking Razor b/w Sidney Po (Video)
Curly Castro hits you with a doubleheader here with a video for both Walking Razor and Sidney Po off of his new album, Tosh. Two dope tracks flipped together for this video single, both giving you a really gritty vibe. Both songs are quite ill, but that beat on Sidney Po is just filthy.
Make sure you check out the album! Creative goodness wrapped up in good hip-hop flavors.
Zilla Rocca – Make the Sickness, Sell the Cure (ft. Curly Castro) (Video)
From the highly acclaimed album, Future Former Rapper, Zilla Rocca releases the visual for his track, Make The Sickness, Sell The Cure, featuring the incomparable Curly Castro dropping some bars and providing the chorus. Not everyone is going to get this song, and if you don’t…then it’s not for you. I think you have to be from a certain era to understand what is meant by “….my hip-hop is dead“.
Check out the album, and also be aware that Curly Castro’s project, Tosh, drops this coming Friday.
Main Flow & Mil Beats – Already Dead (Video)
New video from Main Flow and Mil’s album, Sound of Silence. It’s got a mellow flow and vibe to it, but Main Flow isn’t playing around on the mic. He is bringing you the heat in the coldest of seasons, so if provoked to the extend…you Already Dead.
Vinnie Paz – Gas Mask (Video)
Here’s another tough track from Vinnie Paz’s album, The Pain Collector. The track is co-produced by C-Lance and Rob Viktum. Paz is constantly giving you the real and we would expect nothing less….he delivers just that here.
Milano Constatine – The Main Event (Video)
Milano Constatine and Oh Jay’s album, Attache Case, is certainly a standout from this year and here they release one of the smoother tracks from an otherwise pretty gritty endeavor. So enjoy The Main Event, you are most certainly invited to the show…
Cop the album fools!
King Magnetic and DOCWILLROB – We Want It All (ft. GQ Nuthin Pretty x Benny) (Video)
Some contrasting, yet uniquely dope artists come together on this track from King Magnetic and DOCWILLROB’s project, Back In The Trap. Benny and GQ Nothin Pretty each drop verses alongside Magnetic and it just all comes together in a dope fashion. Magnetic and Benny with a more deliberate style and GQ Nothin Pretty firing off a rapid fire and high energy salvo. All have bars!
Mister – Approcahing Land (ft. Hemlock Ernst) (Video)
Here’s something new from Mister to vibe on! Approaching Land features some amazing production from a beatsmith coming out of London by the name of Curt Cataract. There is such a soulful vibe asserted here that it picks the listener up and simply carries them. The rhythm and the pace astound, while Mister and Hemlock Ersnt engage you in verbalism that requires a keen ear and thoughtful introspection. This is something that you need to sink your teeth into in order to fully appreciate.
This song is lifted from Mister and Curt Cataract’s forthcoming album by the same title, Approaching Land, which we will, unfortunately, have to wait three months for…ugggh. When you hear tracks as special as this it simply makes you crave more.
