A video single off of the producer Astro Vandalist’s new album, Astroduction, featuring Crown Heights’ own, Ruste Juxx on the mic and the late DJ Devastate on the cuts. It’s a straight hip hop cut from an album that is itself a testament to hip hop. You all should put this on your listening list. It’s impeccable.
DJ Clif – Borne Supremacy (ft. Comet) (Video)
I am hearing a lot of good things about this upcoming project from DJ Clif. He is dropping some serious gems. I mean this beat is just ruthless. I am loving the intensity of the rhythm and Comet delivers the same intensity with his bars, delivering narratives from his life in those NY streets.
The new album, US Connexion, is dropping in early 2019 and as soon as I know about it…you will know about it.
Apollo Brown x Joell Ortiz – Grace Of God (Video)
Here’s another dope visual from Apollo Brown and Joell Ortiz’s new album, Mona Lisa. Ortiz divulges thoughts and experiences from his past encased in the skill and lyricism that we have come to expect. He goes in on the images that he used to emulate as a child, and gives praise that he made it out of all of the pitfalls if nothing but the grace of God. He reflects over an Apollo Brown beat that has it all. He makes musical harmony out of drums, horns, strings, and scratching. Definitely memorable off a really dope project.
RIM – Slumble Pie (Video)
New video from RIM of Da Villins new album, D.O.A. which is super dope! I felt his EP, Ugandan Lunch Meat, which dropped earlier this year, considerably, but this abum is on another level. The production has a dark and grimy vibe from producer Stainless Art and RIM just delivers rhymes that bend around street corners to give you his perspective. You can see and hear what I am talking about in this new video single, Slumble Pie.
Sleep not. Cop this album.
Benny The Butcher – Broken Bottles (Video)
Well, if you’re not living under a rock then you know Benny just released his album, Tana Talk 3 on Friday with production from The Alchemist and Daringer.
Broken Bottles is an Alchemist produced gem from the project and helps define the griminess of the entire album. If I said it was tough, I would be understating it.
Wildelux & Roccwell – Make It Hot (ft. DJ Case) (Video)
Visual from Wildelux and Roccwell’s forthcoming project, The Nomad in No Man’s Land. This joint is definitely fresh with an uptempo and resilient vibe to it, and if it’s any indication of the project to come in a few days, I think we are all in for an auditory treat.
Grime Lords – Power Refinement (ft. J Scienide x Jay Royale) (Video)
I missed posting this from a couple of weeks ago but it needs to be shared albeit better late than never. Grime Lords (Born Unique x Pete Twist) are back with guest bars from J Scienide and Jay Royale, hitting you with the latest video single from their album, Wimbledon Dons. The album is just as hard hitting as this track. Super dope material!
Fortunato – Magnificent (ft. Kryple) (Video)
Fortunato is back with what I believe to be his third video single off of his album, MDCXVII, which is out now. The spit game is pretty refined between Fortunato and his compadre Kryple on the verses, and the beats from the project have all been really strong. You should definitely check out the project…more than just a few bangers on there. Production by Scopic.
DJ Illegal & Side Effect – So Cold (Video)
Side Effect goes in on relationships that were once warm that have now turned cold. Anyone that has been on either side of this coin called ‘love’ can appreciate what this song is bringing to the table. DJ Illegal conveys a musical lament with this production that has almost an operatic vibe.
You can find this dope cut amongst others on the recently released, Musica De Los Muertos which is out now!
Page Kennedy – I Can’t Love You (ft 3D Natee) (Video)
Page Kennedy has a knack for making personal tracks especially ones with regards to relationships and here he takes the exchange with emcee 3D Natee a step further in until it becomes a full blown domestic dispute about to turn violent. It takes you to a dark place so prepare your mind, but it is exceptionally well done.
This is off Kennedy’s new album, Same Page, Different Story.
