Illogic and Blockhead release the second video for their exceptional project, Preparing For Capture. Make sure you grab a hold of that sooner rather than later. I also believe that they have a new EP dropping in September but don’t quote me on that yet.
Kid Daytona – Gone (Video)
I am digging this track. It’s really great to hear some new Daytona. His new mixtape, Summer Games dropped today as well and while I have not heard it yet, I insist that you check it out.

Single You Out: Tenacity – I Don’t Get Them (ft. Gameboi)
Finally a good hip hop song in my inbox. I can always rely on the BBAS fam to cheer me up with some new music. Tenacity and Gameboi join forces with J57 who once again laces a beat that really is heads and tails above industry standards.
Apparently, Tenacity and J57 have an EP coming out this summer. Cheers to that!

Single You Out: Savant – Bar Enrichment (ft. medafORACLE x Mr. Miranda)
I have been sitting on this joint for s second, for no good reason. The beat we’ve all heard before but the flows and rhymes kick it up a notch. I am pretty familiar with Savant from his Crash Series. I could tell from those joints that he’s a talented artist. MedafORACLE and Mr. Miranda are also no slouches when it comes to emceeing. Thusly, you have bar enrichment.

Torae – That Raw (Video)
Torae is a beast on the mic. His album, For The Record, also very beastly. I loved That Raw before but now that it gets the visual treatment, I feel it even more. The dope lines in baggies…conceptually genius. I like how they ran with the theme throughout.

3. Burning
4. Poetry 101

Note:
This is the first installment of a new category on HHD entitled, Sorry I Slept. I just want to recognize some projects that I may have missed a few months ago, or perhaps a few years ago. I will be posting these on an as needed basis.
I picked Dead Poet Society because I have really become fond of their music over the last few months. I saw this on Dot Got It when it was originally released. I always meant to check it out but never did. That is until a few months ago.
The EP is solid like concrete if you like that Boom Bap east coast sound. Each emcee carries their weight on the project and the production is strong.
Single You Out: Donnie Darko – Appreciation
There is so much heat coming out of the NSD camp these days! But this may be one of my favorite Donnie Darko tracks. This is the pace of track that he sounds the best on it. You can also hear his passion for hip hop on this joint. Sutter Kain is a Top 5 producer in my opinion. On Appreciation he finds another ill sample and adds the boom bap. Great song…

Single You Out: RoQ’y TyRaiD – Bye Felicia (ft. Chaundon)
RoQ’y TyRaiD hit me up with his new single Bye Felicia. I must admit, I have heard his name before but I have never heard his music before, but I am glad I gave this one a spin. It’s dope and something that is going to stick with you. And it’s always a good thing to enlist Chaundon for a verse. Quality music…
