I just got done listening to this Greater Than’s self-titled album, this afternoon. I thought it was really quite boom-bastic. For those of you who are not in the know, Greater Than is made up of Seattle artists, Grynch, Fearce Vill, and Grieves.
The first thing I want to make mention of is that Grieves does not rhyme on the album, but produces. And his chops behind the boards are impressive. I mean he crafted some delicious rhythms. I didn’t realize that he could get down like that.
Grinch and and Fearce Vill definitely represent well on the lyrical level as well. Both lyrically and visually catching bodies over the track Fine Wine. If you are feeling this joint than undoubtedly you will feel the rest.
I am loving this unique production from 38 Spesh and the way he and Kool G Rap exchange bars over it. The chemistry sounds insane over this beat. And when we talk about longevity in the game and still maintaining one of the illest flows EVER, we are discussing G. Rap. The man is amazing.
The collaborative album, Son Of G Rap, is dropping on June 8th.
New video from Falconcrest’s last album, Something Different. The beat from Nicholas Craven is perfect for the narration of stories and perspective from the tandem, and colleague, Wyze Wonda. It’s just a powerful story that’s made even moreso with the photographs and visual perspectives.
Shout out to this powerful artistic endeavor.
Pawz One & Robin Da Landlord lace us with the visuals for the title track to their new project which dropped last Friday. The project is dope in it’s entirety, and as a matter of fact I am working on a review for it, because of how much I enjoy it.
Listen to the drums Robin Da Landlord uses for the backbone of the track? If your head is not snapping back and forth, I am not sure what to tell you. This track is the embodiment of what hip hop should be. And the dream here, truly is hip hop articulated in it’s purest form…and that’s what happened on their latest effort.
John Jigg$ continues his streak of bangers, this time rocking’ the club. This song has potential night life anthem written all over it, and he does it without catering to a pop element which I love.
Enjoy!
More heat from Nowaah The Flood and Ca$ablanca with production courtesy of The Kurse. The emcees ride this smooth guitar laden track, but deliver a series of tough bars regardless of the tempo. Really feeling what they are bringing to hip hop these days.
Left For Dead is the re-emergence of west coast emcee and artist, Capitol I-Man. Hip Hop heads are going to remember Capitol I-Man as part of the group The Mexakinz. And what we find here with this new song, Buzzard, is that even though it’s been a long time between projects, his lyricism remains sharp. It’s a party, and don’t you dare be a buzz kill.
New project, Company Head Change, is available as both physical and digital.
This video from Pete Flux & Parental has been out for a couple of months but I had just seen it and it’s too dope for me not to present to our audience. The production is smooth while the lyrics are sharp as fuck. They are trying to build some art that’s time tested, and not trying to be a flash in the pan.
I kick the philosophy…you spit the bumper stickers….
I love that line in the chorus! Check out their latest project, Infinite Growth.
Sinical gets to work on the mix with Termanology for this latest video single, Dreams. The production from 1st Official is on some boo-bap/slap your momma type ish. The well positioned Biggie sample take it over the top. You can hear the hunger in the bars from Sinical and Term laces his sixteen like a vet who is only getting better with time.
It looks like this artist has put together a string of dope joints so hopefully an album is going to be on it’s way.
