It is easy to get slept on but KemiKAL turned my ear his way with this nice flow and delivery. I received 30 emails today and this was one of the few good ones. Tough to stand out…but not impossible. I hope to hear more from this artist.
PLAYDOUGH – King Of Queens (Video)
Playdough is one of the most searched artists on this site. His previous album, Hot Doggin’, gets a ton of love from fans.
This song is coming off his new project dropping on 10/22 entitled Writer Dye: Deux or Die. This track is one half Queen/Run DMC montage and one half hip hop but entirely dope. I enjoy Playdough’s style. He’s a unique artist who’s not afraid to take some artistic chances.
Friday Feature: illMEASURED x ill Conscious – The Essence
I was specifically saving this track for this feature. This was originally released about a month ago as, ill Conscious’ title track from his forthcoming album that goes by the same name. This is also the perfect illustration for why I am featuring illMEASURED in the first place. His places samples are in succinct timing for this uptempo banger. I also really enjoy how the production is very vibrant. There is something very alive with this track that is certainly accentuated by ill Conscious’ dope flow and lyrical content. He is a really talented emcee. Great debut for him as well as being the perfect continuation of our September feature for illMEASURED. This is indeed the essence of hip hop…
BROKE SAFETY – I’M ILL feat GEORGE BURNZ (Video)
This is a dope video! It goes to show you that you can put together a dope video with being creative with your lighting and different backdrops. It’s a little crazy, but I like it. The use of the Red Cafe sample with this beat is really on point. If you want to DL the mix tape for free, please do so.

Chaundon – Prosperity (ft. YC The Cynic & DJ Flash) (Video)
Oh yes, The Jammington. Oh you slept on that, didn’t you? You seemingly forgot how ill Chaundon can be behind the microphone? No mind…there’s still time to pick up the album and right the wrongs you have committed.
This video is simple yet also exceptional. I dig the contrasting styles of Chaundon and YC The Cynic.
Jesse Abraham – I Ain’t Shit – I’m The Shit (Video)
I haven’t featured some Jesse Abraham material in a while and this is the perfect opportunity because this video is some type of awesome. Super creative and fun which is pretty much Abraham’s MO if you ask me. The beat and lyrics are pretty stellar as well. One thing is for certain, Jesse Abraham is one of a kind!
Nutso – Bad Street’s Patternized (ft. DJ Modesty x Crook-N-Thru)
There are a couple of artists you just associate with being grimy. Nutso is one such artist. Just a raw lyricist bringing his life and views to life. He is also one of the more underrated emcees. He has been killing it for a long time, rocking with some of NY’s finest. Give this man his due. He’s got a new project dropping in September so remember to support that!
Single You Out: Streets Raised Me – Comet ft Red Eye & Blaq Poet
I checked this because of his affiliation to Red Eye and true to form, this joint knocks. DJ Supa Dave drives a hard bargain with this joint while Comet and company give it the proper treatment.
