Blaq Poet is back and bringing you that hardcore New York sound live and direct into your speakers! Poet has that grimy street hip-hop on lock and these two cuts are sure to knock for the masses.
Awar – Spoils of War / Money Machine Music (Video)
Awar gives two tracks from his album, Spoils Of War, the cinematic treatment with a combined visual single. I listened to the album yesterday and it’s all the way dope. But these two tracks are among my favorite. I just really feel the lyricism and the vibe these joints provide. Dope and relatable. These tracks are produced by Vanderslice and Jake One respectively.
Mooch – Can’t Relax (Video)
I honestly can’t get enough of Mooch’s new EP, Heroin Farms, which was produced entirely by FarmaBeats. Every song is potent on this project, and Can’t Relax is just another illustration. Mooch is going for the win, and when you are in for the success…you simply can’t relax. Da Cloth has mad some serious moves this year and the entire team is poised for that success.
DJ Muggs x Roc Marciano – E Train (Video)
Here’s another video single from DJ Muggs and Roc Marciano’s album, Kaos. This song just sound, looks, and feels like nostalgia. Muggs lacing the vibe with some dusty jazz flavor while Marciano fills in the gaps with a flow and rhymes completely unique to the industry. This collaborative project was a genius move. The two artists fit so well together.
Cymarshall Law – Bruce Lee Said (Video)
Cymarshall Law is back with another video single from his terrific album, Imperfectly Perfect. This time he is taking and imparting sage advice from martial arts master, Bruce Lee, over an asian inspired instrumentation. Law’s lyricism and intensity are unquestionably distinctive. Enjoy!
Reef The Lost Cause – Stay Golden (Video)
Here is the first video single from Reef The Lost Cause’s next album, The Majestic. Stay Golden offers what you have come to expect from Reef over the years. He’s got those sharp bars and a knack for formulating them into some ill verses. He does just that over some production from Caliph-NOW.
Nowaah the Flood x DirtyDiggs – GYHOMP (Video)
Nowaah The Flood follows the flute and drums of Dirty Diggs instrumental for the track GYHOMP (Get Your Hands Out My Pockets). Just like the rest of their project, Private Stock, this song is smooth, yet aggressive, and just plain fresh. One of my favorite projects this year for sure.
Alfred Banks – This Is True (Video)
This cut is so refreshing! Alfred Banks is taking creativity both audibly and visually to new heights with his video for This Is True. The vibe of the production is so easy on the ears that the track is just effortless, and when you combine that with Banks’ delivery and the artist’s concept…I think you have something really special here. I haven’t seen it quite done like that before so major props from HHD…
This is off of Alfred Banks’ new project, Mere-Exposure Effect.
Hermit and the Recluse – Oedipus (Video)
KA brings us his distinctive flow, insight, and artistic flair with this video for Oedipus as a member of The Hermit and the Recluse, with Animoss and the album, Orpheus vs. The Sirens.
…if we ain’t family, we can’t relate…
