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.
Snak The Ripper – Paid Up (Video)
Snak The Ripper drops another video single from his fantastic album, Off The Rails. On Paid Up, the Ripper goes in over a head nodder from none other than Marco Polo. He’s speaking on being in the game since 2006 and that he’s put in the dues to get where he is in life and music. Can others say the same? Dope track.
Amadeus the Stampede & CLOAQxDAGGER – Intrinsic Mojo (Video)
Been a fan of Amadeus the Stampede for years and he has a lot of material to check out, but he’s back with some newness with this new video for, Intrinsic Mojo. This song can be found on Stampede’s collaborative project with producer tandem CLOAQxDAGGER, Papa Legba’s Rhapsody which is due out on Halloween…enjoy!
