Short of that Nino Bless track, Rhyme Of The Year, this might be the filthiest flow of the year. El Gant goes anywhere and everywhere with his lyrics, from Kurt Vonnegut to the Mariana Trench (now that’s deep). I am not sure who the responsible party is for this beat so I am just going to go with Parakhan DJ Ready Cee. If that’s the case, then the man gets major props from me. This is a definite head nodder. You won’t be able to help it. Check out their self-titled EP, HERE.
Breeze Brewin’ – ROADRAGE (Video)
I was hoping to see that this song was attached to a bigger project that was soon to be released but it appears that this joint may just be a gift to the masses from Breeze Brewin’ from The Juggaknots camp. The production comes courtesy of Smoke Signals. And remember….don’t let anger consume you.
Spit Gemz – Nelson Muntz / Mystic Moves (Video)
Spit Gemz gives the audience a video ‘double-tap’ with the combination of visuals for Nelson Muntz and Mystic Moves. Gemz is always giving the people the dopest of material. On November 10th he releases his next project for FREE, END THE TV.
Lyriciss – Big Gold Chain (Video)
Lyriciss just dropped his album, The Balance, this past Tuesday. Today we bring you another video single from that project, Big Gold Chain, produced by an HHD favorite in his own right, Scrilla Ventura. Enjoy this.
Jermiside & Danny Diggs: Victory Is Mine (Video)
Jermiside is a relate able artist. The lyricism is just something I can apply to my own life. I love that. It’s like reading a book where you identify with the lead character. This is really how the entire album rides. Danny Diggs gives you soothing rhythms while Jermiside drops gems. Does that sound worthwhile to you? If it does than Quiet As Kept is in your lane and will probably be the next album I review.
Timeless Truth – Alliance (Video)
New video single from Timeless Truths‘ last album, Rock-it Science. The track’s production is done by EL RTNC. The track has that typical NY flair and demeanor to it. I have the album but need to give it another listen. It’s been a minute. In the meantime…enjoy.
Bishop Nehru – Exhale (ft. Que Hampton) (Video)
First off, these guys make me feel really old simply from the fact of how young they are. But Bishop Nehru and Que Hampton have got the formula right for dropping some dope hip hop music. I enjoy this cut and the verse that play off one another. I think I shunned Nehru before because I just didn’t think someone so young could be so ill. I’ll blame that on my ignorance.
This song is off of Nahru’s album, strictlyFLOWz, which I am going to have to check out now.
R.A. the Rugged Man – Sam Peckinpah (ft. Vinnie Paz x Sadat X) (Video)
Beware of any secret underground viewing chambers for any hip hop videos. It may lead you to engage in some disturbing and violent acts as is the case with R.A. The Rugged Man’s video for Sam Peckinpah which features Vinnie Paz. This is very near to some Clockwork Orange shit. R.A.’s new album, Legends Never Die, has been out for some time so make sure you scoop it up.
Swinn Da Example – Get It Right (Video)
Dee Metto put me on to this artist he had done some production for, Swinn Da Example. I had never heard of him previously, so I didn’t know what to expect, but Metto’s cosign was all I needed to give it a chance. I started off by listening to his mixtape, Off Da Back Burnah. After the first few cuts from the album, I heard Swinn intermingling theology in his rhymes, which really accentuated his skills. It was intelligent design. But past track three of the mixtape I began to realize that this man was a devout Christian in addition to being an ill spitter. I was impressed. The man is convicted and has a powerful message to deliver which he does with exceptional skill over some boom bap beats. This track is all about getting right in this life and ready for the next. You need to do the most you can with your time here and stop slipping into your sinful ways. I, as a delinquent Christian, was pretty moved by the project. I think you should keep your minds open.
Alterbeats – Idol (ft. Bekay) (Video)
Alterbeats outdid himself with this production and Bekay was the perfect emcee to drop those lava rocks all across it. This is just one of those perfect combinations. The strings with the oriental flare over the crescendo of boom-bap flavor makes hip hop heads of all walks happy campers. Class Struggle is dropping in just a few days, so make sure you mark the calendar.
