I love Austin. Even in this God forsaken heat, I love my city. I also love the production from Swiss producer Dee Metto. So when Austin affiliates, Mirage512 and Side Effect teamed up with Dee Metto for this remix, it was a no brainer to post.
Soulslicers – Another Part Of History (ft. El Lay and Sparkingtin)
The Soulslicers know beats. Period. These guys are crafting their rhythms to the top of the class. I have really enjoyed everything that they have put out.
This cut is coming from their Slice Of Life mixtape which can be downloaded at DJ Booth. In terms of the emcees featured, we have bicoastal affair with El Lay and Sparkingtin each giving it a go around on the mic device.
Enjoy!
Reks – The Molotov (Video)
I just copped and finished listening to Revolution Cocktail a few days ago. Reks never fails to impress. He has one of the best deliveries in the game. His technique and skill has become incredibly polished over the years. He also has consistently put out dope material year after year. It’s that consistency that puts him in that ‘elite’ category. The rhyme schemes and phrases he puts together in The Molotov are nothing short of impressive. I am also a fan of the simplicity of the video. It’s pretty amazing how impressive a video can be when dealing with red/black and a head shot.
I encourage everyone to cop the album. Reks is a Top 10 emcee in my opinion and deserves the support.
YC The Cynic – Molotovs At Poseidon (Video)
I am a sucker for Greek mythology combined with hip hop flavor. A weird combination indeed but imagine how my curiosity was piqued when I saw the title: Molotovs At Poseidon.
It did not disappoint at all. I went through what remains of my inbox and this track was a glaring omission on my part. A dope production with superb lyricism from YC The Cynic.
This track will apparently be surfacing on his debut album which drops in August, entitled, GNK.
Suicide Kings – Shotcallaz (ft. Apathy and Celph Titled)
This video derives from the forthcoming album from the Suicide Kings entitles, Crown Of Thorns. This track includes heavyweights from the Demigodz camp, Apathy and Celph Titled. It’s some unfiltered, raw hip hop, but it needs to be noted that Ap killed his verse far and beyond. Those bars were impressive.
Ugly Heros – Desperate (Video)
Another video endowed to the masses from the Ugly Heroes’ crew. This comes off of their impressive self-titled album. It’s music for the downtrodden and the close to broken. Keep your heads up folks…
Soul Khan – Rusted Ghosts (ft. Arthur Lewis) (Official Video)
This song is for anybody that appreciate the art and symbolism of tattooing. Soul Khan shares with you the story as to how he first got a tattoo. He remembers the lists of things his mother said against it and then the meaning these pieces hold for him now. It’s a smooth and meaningful joint.
Today he offers his latest EP, Psalm, on iTunes. It’s redone in some capacity though I haven’t had the time to compare the versions. Check it out.
Blame One & J57 – They Don’t Know (ft. Akie Bermiss)
Beautiful music. What can I say that the music isn’t already preaching (no pun intended)? J57 shows us once again that he is a master of his craft. This arrangement is perfection. Akie Bermiss lends a chorus that just takes you on a trip in between Blame One’s bars. And speaking of those bars: Blame One has always spoken on spirituality and his beliefs. If you listen to his past music you will pick up on that. His message is one of acceptance and blessing. It isn’t preachy…it’s human.
Walk In The Sun drops on August 27th which seems eons away. But you can preorder it now.
Planet Asia & Gensu Dean – Bar MitzVah (Video)
Straight off of the collaboration album, Abrasions, Planet Asia and Gensu Dean release this video single. The track is rapid fire goodness with vintage Planet Asia lines and delivery.
Burke The Jurke – Pleasant Torment (Video)
This song must’ve been too hard for most blogs to post on. I honestly can’t believe it hasn’t garnered more attention. Mr. Green has banging keys on this joint, and Burke The Jurke leaves no bar untouched. A real sick flow on this track. I hate to use cliches but what the hell…this joint goes hard.
He has an album dropping called, Ear Responsible with no release date as of right now. I will be looking for it though.
