Single You Out: Eff Yoo – No Rain, No Flowers

If you’ve been around long enough and you’ve been paying attention to independent hip hop through years, you have enjoyed the evolution and musical journey of one, Eff Yoo. On his new project, God Is An Artist, Eff Yoo gets more personal than ever in his music and that very journey. There are moments of trepidation, sin, thankfulness, and celebration. We tangle with demons so we can touch the angels. Check out the project if you like the song, No Rain, No Flowers that I share with you today. Blessings!

Single You Out: Conway the Machine x Benny Holiday x Dope D.O.D x Caskey) (prod. by Al’Tarba)

So what drew me to this track? Well, I love me some Conway the Machine bars, but it was the fact that Al’Tarba was on this production. And you just don’t hear as much as we should from the french producer. I love his production. And he doesn’t disappoint lacing this supremely haunting soundscape for the emcees to sink their bars into. Machine, Benny Holiday, Dope D.O.D., and Caskey all do a great job with the pen and flow here.

Single You Out: Dan Johns – The Magnum (ft. Amen)

I listened to the EP a couple of times last night, and that’s a rarity unto itself. But the five track, Resurgence, is such a great project I could not help myself. I went through my 2024 collection, and I am hard pressed to find a better EP this year than this. Dan Johns not only sounds super sharp on the mic but he handled all of the production as well. I honestly love the bars and production on every track, but I picked the one that features Amen. If you are familiar with Carolina Hip Hop in the mid 2000s, you should know this man and I haven’t heard from him in many years, but damn, listen to this flow! It’s like he never left!

Think of the kids I’d hate for her to raise em alone / Cuz you don’t want to draw my interest like a Savings and Loan

This is one of the best this year so please cop this project.

Single You Out: WateRR x Wavy Da Ghawd – Where Would I Be

Waterr and Wavy Da Ghawd are coming together artistically to drop a new project on Febraury 1st, entitled, Washed Ashore. And with the single, Where Would I Be, you can definitely catch the vibe of what’s come. There’s something very soothing about this single and a little bit of an escape for the listener, as Wavy transports you with this production while Waterr creatively asks the question: Where would I be without music?

Definitely a vibe.
