“I’m just a product of stories untold…” and so the song goes. Foul Monday and SPNDA go in over some dope…almost troubador-esque production from Prete Rosso which is pretty fitting. Really nice joint to share with you on this Saturday.
Single You Out: K-Beta x J-Scrilla – Sacrifice
This is what the world needed right now…K-Beta connecting with DJ J-Scrilla for this fire yet, deeply personal and introspective track. Which really, in turn, makes it even more personal. This make is some extremely powerful material that Beta is talking about here, and Scrilla utilizing this Styx loop over these drums really conveys the point.
Can’t wait to hear more.
Single You Out: Kore – Milo
Kore of the revered EMS camp releases an uptempo head-nodding party anthem as a single for his forthcoming album, KOREiculum, which is due out on October 31st. It’s short but clever and to the point metaphor for an evening of chasing the ladies.
Single You Out: Taboo – Mola Ram
I usually don’t post freestyles, but the exception to rule is Taboo. There are several of his freestyles that I listen to on the regular and this another that I will add to the collection. His wordplay is unparalleled. So listen to what he does on the Prhyme beat!
Single You Out: Sibbs Roc – Pallbearers (ft. Saipher Soze x Daniel Son x Asun Eastwood x Black Nazi x Rob Gates x Maverick)
You’ve got a lot of dope emcees rocking over the mellow production from Sibbs Roc and they are all carting bodies off when this track again. You have a various mix of styles from, Saipher Soze, Daniel Son, Asun Eastwood, Black Nazi, Rob Gates, and Maverick, but they are ill. This a really dope cut!
Single You Out: Supreme Cerebral – Clean Shot (ft. Born Unique) (prod. by Pete Twist)
Supreme Cerebral is just getting started with 2018, after dropping his God’s Gift project just weeks ago, he unleashes another banger produced by Pete Twist, and featuring fellow beat abuser, Born Unique, to share the mic. This song is just tough. The piano, the drums, and vocal sample by Twist, are an ominous precursor to verbal fireworks.
This is yet another single from Kings Throne 2 which is due out on August 22nd. Mark it on your calendar because all of these tracks have been tough.
Single You Out: Planet Asia – Mansa Musa Medallions (ft. Hus Kingpin x Smooth)
Planet Asia is gearing up for another album, Mansa Musa, which is set to drop in a couple of days and since the man can do no wrong, and you love hip hop, this is an auto-cop. Who has consistently dropped more dopeness than Planet Asia over the years? No one has delivered what he has with this type of consistency.
On the single, Mansa Musa Medallions, Hus Kingpin and Smoovth join Planet Asia over a glorious production from J.O.D. The track has an ill, yet glorious flavor about it.
Single You Out: Tone Spliff & Young Lo – Mastered The Flow (ft. Recognize Ali)
I am pretty familiar with Tone Spliff and surely know Recognize Ali at this point with as many as gems as he’s unleashed over the last couple of years. But it’s about time we all get up on Young Lo. Wait a minute! Check that…Young Lo, is actually an artist that we’ve helped promote sometime ago, when he went by the name Emilio Lopez. He was dope then and it’s really good to hear him doing his thing again. His flow sounds filthy over this Tone Spliff production, casting mumble rappers over the ledge.
Really dope song, hailing from the forthcoming project, Tape Deck Music, dropping in June.
Sorry I Slept: Ekspan – Utterly Disgusted (2016)
I haven’t done one of these features in a minute because to be honest I really don’t have the time to go back and check out older releases unless I just happen to stumble upon them.
Well that happened, somehow, when I came upon this excellent album from Ekspan entitled, Utterly Disgusted. And I mean EXCELLENT. The production is entirely superlative and the wordplay and flows are well beyond what we are seeing for the most part today.

Single You Out: Ill Conscious – Capital Investements (ft. DJ Grazzhoppa)
Here’s a project and artist that needs to be mentioned in the form of Ill Conscious and his lates venture, The Prerequisite. The flow on this track, Capital Investments, is nothing short of lyrical surgery on the track. Conscious’ wordplay on this tracks sophisticate with lots of noteworthy lines. Plus, DJ Grazzhoppa is on the cuts, and when he is involved on a track, you know his touches are going to put it over the top.
This is a standout cut not only from the project, but for the year thus far. Check it out!
“…fascinated with catching these bodies like necrophilia…”
