Well after waiting approximately three years, today was the day that U.G. (Cella Dwellas) and IDE released the magnum opus, Portals. I honestly thought this project was never going to drop. So today I am proud to spread the word on something amazing! Portals is an incredible endeavor in the crafting of boom-bap.
This video is just the tip of the iceberg for what you have in store when you cop this album. The lyrical diversity of U.G. and IDE’s sterling production make this a must have.
Slim One invites ‘Fizzyology’ to rock over a banger. I mean there is some serious english put on this cut. Everything is done emphatically on this track…the production and the bars put down by Lil Fame and Termanology. It’s all top notch. It was dope enough to make me pre-order the album, Ready For Whatever on iTunes.
New video single for Blaq Poet and Comet, Granite. , featuring J Hood. The cut is off of their project, Mad Screwz, and is produced by Astronote. If you know anything about Poet and Comet, you can already assume, before hearing the track, that the joint goes hard. These guys don’t craft anything that doesn’t bang. No weak shit allowed.
Check the album.
Our friend M-Dot is back at it again narrating tales from his travels over a Soulslicers’ production. My reaction to the track? First, it’s really great to hear some Soulslicers’ beats. I have really missed their work over the past couple of years. And it really is a match made in heaven when M-Dot starts flexing his verbal muscles over their heat.
I can’t wait for M=Dot’s new album to drop along with affiliate Mayhem’s joint. Stay tuned for more EMS goodness!
New single from Slaine’s forthcoming EP, Slaine Is Dead, which is dropping on September 23rd. Pusher, details just that…the life of a neighborhood drug pusher. It’s a short but dope narrative.
Quite honestly this is one of the deepest songs I have come across in a very long time and it is executed to absolute perfection. There is an incredible amount of depth in Token’s story telling and lyricism. It’s one of the few times that I have had to take a deep breath after listening to a song or watching a video. Token narrates three stories, two of which are classmates, and one is his own.
Apparently he has a project called Eraser Shavings just around the corner.
New video from the new album, Furious Styles. Reef The Lost Cauze and Bear One release the video single directed by another ill artist, Skrewtape.
Reef’s music has proved to be timeless. He stays dropping gems.
“…if you’ve beat everyone already, who are you supposed to fight?”
Always bringing that raw boom bap…with dope lyricism.
Ugly Heroes release a video for the track Daisies, from their much vaunted album, Everything In Between.
The realness in this song, this album, and this group, really relates to people. There is such a human element to everything they do. They are humbling and at the same time motivating. As a listener and a fan they always inspire me especially during difficult times.
Enjoy.
Ras Beats just released his dope producer album, Control Your Own, on Friday. Wit No Pressure, featuring Roc Marciano was the first single from the project, and it makes sense to make it the first video.
Everyone I have talked to about the album thinks very highly of this album, including myself. It has really deep production and features some uniquely dope talent on the mic.
I suggest you check it!
