Short but no less potent cut off of Comet’s album, Cataclysm. The track is a dedication to KL and the track features his lyrical comrade, Blaq Poet.
Locksmith – Ghost (ft. Jarren Benton) (Video)
Locksmith gives us the Jarren Benton features track, Ghost, as the latest video single from his album, Ali.
I just listened to this album last night and was reminded how much I love Locksmith’s flow. His introspection and observational lyricism puts him in a class by himself. He and Benton are a really great pairing.
Nutso – Valid 100% (Video)
We always promote Nutso and his music. 2018 was a really quiet year for one of our favorite artists but he’s already setting a dope tone for the new year. If you haven’t been in the know…get familiar!
Solomon Childs – Bullsh!t Refusal (Video)
Solomon Childs and Tone Spliff release the video single for this joint off of their collaborative album, The Prophet and the King, which is out now. This is just no-nonsense hip hop and these two artists are definitely not playing. The song has a melodic vibe to it but this is not sing-a-long rap. Childs is delivering heavy-hitting bars and Tone Spliff adds the necessary scratches for all the dope touches.
Check it out!
Rigz & Mooch – Net 10 (Video)
Rigz and Mooch show you why they are amongst the most lethal of wordsmiths when they work together over a track. And this time they get laced by Giallo Point and you know there is some damage to be done over this haunting production!
38 Spesh – Flour City (ft. Eto) (Video)
38 Spesh’s impromptu release from a week ago, 5 Shots, is a prelude to his album, 38 Strategies Of War, dropping on Friday. But damn if each of these joints isn’t a notch above flawless. This EP is as dope as anyone can do it! The fact that Spesh produced each track is a testament to the man’s talent on many levels. Flour City is gritty from first to last with Eto doing a guest spot and killing it as always.
38 Spesh is setting bars to new heights….enjoy!
The Opioid Era – Dope Nodd (Produced by Homage Beats) (Video)
First off, I love the group name, The Opioid Era, and this trio of emcees is dropping that raw-raw rap with tough rhymes over rhythms that harken back to the mid-1990s. I am really digging what I am hearing from these artists. Definitely a talent to pay attention to.
They have a new self-titled album out now that I will be checking into sooner rather than later.
RIM – Stainless (ft. Sauce Heist) (Video)
A dope track from RIM’s album, D.O.A., featuring Sauce Heist. The album is no joke, it knocks ridiculously hard and it pains a hip hop head like myself to know that so many people are sleeping. The production and the rhymes laid down there upon are undoubtedly first class. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Check it!
Recognize Ali – Don’t You Know (ft. EL Ay) (Video)
Soulful yet sharp joint from Recognize Ali’s latest album, I Self Lord And Master. You know how we feel about Ali on the site so I am not about to beat a dead horse when referring to the man’s talent. The music speaks volumes. Make sure you are checking this man’s discography. And there’s only more dope in store as 2019 has begun.
LordWillin – The Grand Goon (Video)
Here’s a tough track from the artist LordWillin, off of his most recently released mixtape, Death Sentences. Dope production and good flow and rhyme will get you a spot at HHD essentially every time!
