The first thing I want to say is that you don’t see chemistry on the microphone like this anymore. Little Vic and Peter Leo spit these bars like they were on some EPMD shit. It’s incredible the way they trade these bars. I can’t compare it with anything recently. The second thing I want to note is the dope beat that Undefined crafts here, and his album, Certified A-Side, is chocked full of rhythms like this. You need to check it out! Lastly, the video is extremely well done. The director really did a great job of accentuating the team work in the track. Officially one of my favorite joints this year.
Esh & Arc – The Third Tit (ft. Romen Rok) (Video)
New video from Esh & Arc’s collaborative EP, Nightworks. It features their compatriot Romen Rok. It’s a high energy cut highlighted with many a dope line.
Grayskul – Come On (Video)
One of the illest sets from a show came courtesy of Grayskul. They have a high energy skillset that gets you amped. They also have a ton of material out there that people may not know about. (maybe it’s time for another discography…hmmm.) There new album, Zenith is slated for September so be on the lookout.
Stryfe & Marc Byrd – War (Video)
Ok. If this song doesn’t move you and make you want to hit something, we’ve got a problem. This song is so dangerous to eardrums it may knock off your equilibrium. I am not playing. This song is coming off of Stryfe and Marc Byrd’s album, The Last Resorts. That is a great album by the way. If you are tired of the same old boring fuckery that befuddles the masses on a daily basis, you are going to want this album. The duo surpasses limits and expectations. Blam.
Sgt. Over – High On Life (Video)
Sgt. Over drops a video for High On Life, which can be found on his most recent album, Precious Jewels. This time the emcee drops that certified smooth ish. We all need to smooth it out from time to time. Cop the album…
EMS x Soulslicers – Past Doubt (Video)
The EMS team and the Swiss producers, Soulslicers, create a visual for, Past Doubt, which is coming off the new street album, Slice Of Life. The album is available for free at DJ Booth. I have listened to it and I can give you the green light to go get it (like you were waiting for that anyway). This particular track is one of the smoothest cuts off of the album.
Vers’tyle – The Round Up (Interlude) Produced by ANS (Video)
Ok. This was all about the right timing here. Vers’tyle sent me this submission just as I was putting some posts together and doing some listening. I thought I would give it a chance. Ummm…he meets all the criteria and more for music that we post on HHD. He’s got the voice and the flow that capture the moment. If the idea of this video was draw the audience in, I think he more than accomplished his purpose. I want to hear more because he killed this “interlude”. There’s not too many new (new to me) artists that impress this much. I am going to be on the lookout for The Rogue EP very soon.
Ugly Heroes ( Apollo Brown x Verbal Kent x Red Pill) – Hero’s Theme (Video)
The Ugly Heroes give you that “every man music” with their video release of Hero’s Theme. You just listen to the lyrics and think…”Hey, these guys are talking about my life.” These artists are out here making the most of every moment. We should all take the lesson and maximize the day. You should start off by copping their self-titled album. Bang!
Ill Bill – Acid Reflux (Video)
Ill Bill and Large Professor connect for this video single off of Bill’s most recent project, The Grimy Awards. I love how Large Professor links the Gravediggaz sample into the cut. That’s vintage material. The video itself is trippy, while Bill’s content keeps you next to the speaker so you can pick up on what he is going to say next. He’s always in tune with socio-political material so he can drop that knowledge.
Spit Gemz – Certain Delegates (Video) (prod. by ONE-TAKE)
Spit Gemz, native New Yorker and fire spitter, is back with another video from his FVCK THE RADIO project. The man is drinking fire water these days with the inferno he delivers with each cut. I strongly suggest you cop his discography. He’s one of the few people keeping that grimy music for elevated minds.
