Comet and Rediculous teamed up to bring you a new project called of End of Dayz which dropped for FREE just a few days ago. This is the first video single from the project which features Screwball affiliate Blaq Poet. I think you know what you are going to get when these fellas team up…it’s just that raw NYC boom bap!
MarQ Spekt: Shangri-La (prod by Deacon The Villain) (Video)
This is a quick hitter from MarQ Spekt’s latest album, The Grilchy Era. It’s a dope cut that you simply don’t want to end but it does ever so quickly. Deacon The Villain from Cunninlynguists drops the vocals for the chorus. Check the album if you haven’t already. It’s worth more than just a few spins.
Hex One & 5th Element – Dinner Time (ft. Ruste Juxx & Halfcut) (Video)
This is a top notch joint from Hex One & 5th Element’s album, Hologramz. This joint is some vintage hard bodied hip hop right here. Hex One and Halfcut each wield super crafty lines that keep the listener on pins and needles, only to be contrasted with Ruste Juxx’s Brooklyn braggadiocio style. You know bodies get strewn about when he spits on the mic.
Great song from a great album that you should already own!
Sketch McGuiney – Knuckleheads (ft. Cuban Link and K-Beta) (Video)
Sketch McGuiney and company put that hipster rap to bed with this joint from his forthcoming mixtape, Handlebars. We showcased the actual single for Knuckleheads a couple of weeks ago, and now the track gets the video treatment. It’s one of the hardest hitting joints of 2015, bet!
William Cooper- Zombieland (feat. Diabolic) (Video)
We just recently reviewed William Cooper’s album, God’s Will. So we have no doubt that you will enjoy the video single for the track, Zombieland. On first glance you might think this was a video for the Walking Dead, however you soon realize as Diabolic and Cooper spit that the Zombies are analogy for the sheep that we have become in the eyes of the powerful and the government. Don’t sleep!
Nutso – Str8 Talk (ft. General Steele x Blacastan) (Video)
This is the final video from Nutso’s, Divided Souls EP. And he ends things with a true heater from the project repping that “true” NYC sound. General Steele and Blacastan each lend some rough sixteens to the record while the beat will have you swaying the neck. This is one of those tracks that reaffirm hip hop is in good hands.
Check that EP!
CF – Extra (Video)
The intellectual capacity of CF as an artist is far beyond the industry standard. Whenever you listen to a CF verse you are bound to pick up some tid-bit of knowledge you didn’t know before. On the cut, Extra, from the album Ascension, he references things like the Minutemen being the latest rendition of the KKK and the need for stronger leadership in the latin community, nuancing Che Guevara. It also helps that he is loaded on skill and talent. One of our favorites!
King Magnetic – Tuff Guy (Video)
Tuff Guy is the lead single off the newly released album, Timing Is Everything. King Magnetic is one of those artists that has been putting in consistent work for the longest time. His mixtapes and the Everything Is A Gamble series has put out more bangers than most other people’s entire discography. His projects can play from start to end and while I just copped the new album, Timing Is Everything will be no different in that capacity.
Tuff Guy is just a prime example of what this artist is capable of. He flips over a banger, describing himself as not a tough guy, but capable of being really menacing if push ever came to shove. And he calls out all those who are tough when in the company of others, but really pussy when it comes to handling business by yourself.
This is one album that everybody needs to support this year. You have to reward an artist who has been consistent as he has over the years. Let’s back him up!
Akrobatik / LX-Beats – Shotgun (Video)
This is the new single from a forthcoming Akrobatik and LX Beats collaboration. Shotgun is an expose on the all-powerful position when you are riding in someone else’s whip. I love the way Akrobatik rides this laid back beat and details all the benefits of taking over that front passenger seat.
There’s no said date on when the EP will be released but you ca bet we will update our Release Date section when we have word.
EK – Dress My Fears (ft. Simile) (Video)
First off, shout out to Dub MD for always keeping me in the know when it comes to dope new music that’s coming out. It’s guys like him that help guys like me spread the word to folks like you. Today’s newness is an emcee who rocks under the monniker of EK. The song, Dress My Fears, is especially poignant when regarding the latest tragedy that has befallen the community of Charleston, South Carolina. The track is off his forthcoming EP, Hands Of Time. That’s hitting on July 1st.
