This song has been in my Best Of 2018 playlist since I heard it. I listen to this track from Buck-N-Nice at least two or three times a week. It’s just that ill and somehow I missed the video when it dropped three weeks ago, so I am here to make an amends and share this dope track. The video really just accentuates the illness.
Be sure to check the album if you are feeling this joint.
It’s so good to hear that we have some new music from Torae on the way. He’s teaming up with producer Praise for an upcoming EP entitled, All Praise Due. And Take Notes, as the first offering, is an energetic reawakening for those that have slumbered on the man’s talents. I mean, Torae, really is a God-given talent for hip-hop. He has a total command for his craft and Praise generates something powerful with this anthem, which makes perfect use of a Biggie sample
Who is having a better year than Recognize Ali when it comes to the music? You would be hard pressed to find someone who has released as many dope records and been featured on as many dope cuts. The work ethic the Ali demonstrates is top notch among his peers. So watch and listen to that man work and drop life philosophy on his latest video from the project, The Outlawed.
Rasheed Chappell’s new album with producer Kenny Dope, First Brick, is going to garner plenty of consideration for Album Of The Year. And rightfully so. Every well-executed track seems laid together perfectly up against the other. It is laid together in much the same fashion as Nas’ Illmatic, in 1993. Quite the comparison, huh?
Well on this track, My Epic, Chappell puts his life on display for all to see through his music over the drums and horns of Kenny Dope.
Respect!
I just listened to Cymarshall Law’s album, Imperfectly Perfect, a few days ago in it’s entirety and it’s really dope! And The Warning is certainly one of the standout cuts from the project. This production is on some old Wu-Tang type steez and both Law and cohort AceWonda do the effort justice with some pretty intricate rhyme flows and flips. This cut and project are definitely a couple of steps above what the masses are doing.
I strongly suggest you check this project out!
One Dae is dropping some new music and I have rocking with him since the Fire For Hire Mixtapes. He’s always had a great flow and you can hear that in his new music as well. He hit us with a combo deal video single featuring songs Debut and No Daze Off.
These are off his new project Words As Weapons dropping later this year. As soon as I have a solid release date I will surely post it.
New video from one of two recently released Binary Star projects, LIGHTY. Saturn Rings Sad Turn Around is both jazzy and chill but still indefinitely hip-hop, which alas, the whole point. The overall sound of the song inebriates you almost, entrances you, but the scratching and lyricism from One Be Lo bring you back into sharp focus. An emcee, I don’t think you could name three emcees of a higher caliber when it comes to wordplay. One Be Lo is amongst my favorites.
Foul Monday, Starvin B, and Flushing Tek combine with producer Stu Bangas for this track on the After Ourz project. And if you know ANY of the names affiliated you know what this project is about. On this particular joint, you are getting that unfiltered NYC grimy lyricism with that exceptional production that Bangas is always affiliated with! The project is seven tracks long and won’t disappoint in the least.
One thing Dirty Diggs knows is how to do smooth. And he formulates another slick production this time for the emcee Waterr to do his thing over. The two execute on this perfectly and sound great together. That is a good thing considering the two have a collaborative project entitled, WIZARD of the CRYSTAL, dropping in just a few days. So make sure you stay tuned for that goodness.
Here’s a dope record off of Mic Handz’ project, Blvcklist: Rise of The Daywalker EP. Mic Handz and Rock are giving you that raw hip-hop flavor live and direct on this one and there is nothing weak in the mixture here. It’s all about stand-out deliveries and banging production.
And of note…Mic Handz was three days out of the hospital when making this…that’s commitment to the craft. What are you doing?
