Serge Severe and 5th Sequence drop a video single for the track Strong Coffee, which is off their collaborative project, Boom Bap & Bars Vol. 1. And serge really says it better than I can: I am not the one you should be oblivious too
The talented Ullnevano drops another smooth single that corresponds well to those of us not incredibly embittered by Valentine’s Day festivities. It’s chill and enjoyable, so sit back and let the vibe take you.
Oh? You didn’t have that neck brace handy? Cuz you are going to need the chiropractor for this song right here. I am a little late on this, but in truth, just in time for when Pawz One drops his album, Face The Facts. I know this album is going to make a statement for 2014. There’s no question about that. I have heard a couple of cuts from it at this point and each of those joints was certified. In regards to this joint, producer Default, put his name in the hat for beat of the year. This production to use the words of the incomparable C-Rayz Walz is “dumb hot, like retarded group sex”. Both the emcees bring their unique blend of boom bap to the microphone. Self Provoked looks incredibly young, but his skill level beguiles his age. Dope track. Album drops on Tuesday.
If this song and video doesn’t get you, you are cold m’fer. The illest duo making hip hop takes a look at the bottom of the barrel of humanity with their single, Broken. Sleep and Cocaine Chris are like the ghosts in the room looking at the harm a man can do not only to himself but also his loved ones. If this song sounded dope to you, then I suggest you peep their new project, Queen City Bastards, because the album is loaded with top choice cuts.
Oh the sound…the sound is amazing. Dope Antelope opens Pandora’s Box to concoct a beat like this. The sample of Big Pun used is simply awesome but the track also has this mysterious quality. Kue the Vandal has no problem dropping the irreverence on the track. This track is coming off the duo’s forthcoming project, The Snuff Project EP.
I missed big time on this. L*Roneous and the soulful hip hop group, 2bers dropped this video/song in late January as the lead single to their collaborative project, Utopian Blues. And as I was prepping my review of their project, I just happened to come across it. It’s a great song, backed by an exceptionally creative video. Enjoy and make sure you cop this EP!
Real hip hop flavor from the Portland crew TxE with a nice assist from Vursatyl. The beat by G_Force is incredibly innovative, giving this song maximum hip hop flavor. The black and white video also makes this song quite distinctive, adding a nostalgic tone. This track can be found off of the latest project VS PRTLND.
A lot of tough bars being tossed around today, but perhaps no bars tougher than the ones Shabaam Sahdeeq spits for this Harry Fraud produced banger, Tranquilo. Sahdeeq continues to show and prove that he can spit with the best of them and if this wasn’t proof enough, you will find out on April 22nd when he releases Keepers Of The Lost Art.
Skanks is another aritst that seems only to bring the ‘realness’ with every artist submission. Gstats and Shatike each lace the cut with a tough sixteen (guest emcees very talented). Azaia provides the icing on the cake by lacing the team with a threatening banger. The Shinigami Flowfessional is destined for eardrum come March.
“…the only time you left your hood is when you took off your hoodie…“
Murdoc has got some bars and sometimes he likes to show them off…like right here for the track, Visitors. The heavy production comes courtesy of Doc Miller. It makes me wonder if there’s a new project on the horizon. Keep your fingers crossed people.
