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…
Single You Out: Ca$ablanca & Supreme Cerebral – Inglorious Bastards (Prod Yashmallah)
Ca$ablanca comes back with yet another banger, and he has a string of them this year. He’s riding with the straight shooter, Supreme Cerebral. Producer Yashmallah provides us something different with a sound that distorts and bends throughout the song, that’s just edgy enough to compliment our emcees.
Q-Unique – I Seen (Video)
Q-Unique takes a look back on things that he has either been a part of or has witnessed in his music career as a part of Hip Hop Culture. Pretty dope cut, that you can find off of his album, The Mechanic. It’s a dop project that you should definitely check for.
Rigz – Hot (ft. Maverick x Eto) (Video)
Here is some dopeness from Rigz and Flu’s collaborative project, A Piece Of The Action which is out now. I listened to the EP yesterday, and it’s quite dope. A lot of illness packed in there. And while it maybe hard to pick a favorite from such a strong crop, this song featuring Maverick and Eto may very well be mine.
Mooch – Highly (Video)
Members of Da Cloth are putting out some dope and quality music and this latest song/video from Mooch, produced by Farma Beats does not wane from that statement. This song is just ill, as is the entire EP, Heroine Farms. It’s good to see Mooch get his as I have hear him on a number of features and he always came correct.
