One of the dopest cuts off of MaLLy and The Sundance Kid’s dope album, …The Last Great which was one of the Ten Best Albums From 2012. I like what they did by integrating different people in the video. That’s fresh.
Side Effect – Cyber Bully (Video)
Side Effect has a new project, Flyest On Papyrus, that I will be reviewing in the coming days. But before I put that review to print, I missed this video for the track Cyber Bully and wanted to share it. No matter his locale, Side Effect always brings the A game.
Original Text – Crumbs (Video)
Ok. I am not going to pretend that I understand every facet of the plot that is going on in this video but I will telly ou what I do know beyond a shadow of a doubt…Original Text is dope and makes great music. I just got hip to them in 2012 and hope to hear more from them in 2013. You can DL there EP, The Out Number for free HERE.
Felix Nobody x Notepad – Channeling (Video)
I have to tell you when I first heard and saw this, it brought a smile to my face. I thought this was a very dope concept and the two emcees, Felix Nobody and Notepad, really play well off of each other. It reminded me of some Digable Planets material. The video was also very artistically done. All together this track hits the mark to be one of the five posted tracks today.
If you like this, you may want to check out their mixtape, PAINT.
JustMe – Knob Creek (ft. Marcus Wilkerson x Sheisty Khrist) (Video)
This is the best track off of JustMe’s latest album, Full Disclosure. It’s that soulful and meaningful hip hop that’s a game changer in today’s cookie cutter environment. It’s always good to hear people dropping music with purpose and intent. Sheisty Khrist’s verse is golden as he takes it to a biblical level. Dope.
Craig G – Originality (Video)
Craig G debuts the first video off of his album from late last year, Ramblings Of An Angry Old Man. The premise is simple and repeated several times:
Originality is a must…
Check the album people. This man is a legend who is still bring raw hip hop flavors.
Apollo The Great – Above The Sky (Video)
These are the first visuals off of Apollo The Great’s Hennessy Diaries. Hennessy Diaries was the Album Of The Year hear on HHD and I think it’s quality is easy to see using this song as an example. Just really great execution….
…if the sky’s the limit let’s try to hove above it…
Illmaculate & OnlyOne – Substance Abuse (Video)
This video is for a track off on Illmaculate and Lawz Spoken’s most recent project, CHRON: Legacy (ft. OnlyOne). The production from Lawz Spoken is equivalent to stalking music which is perfect to set the tone for this video. The video itself is on some “assassin vs. assassin” type ish. Really dope song. Check out the EP!
Frank Ramz – Icons (Prod. Charlie Hilton) (Video)
“The clothes, and the hoes, and the bottles, and etcetera / Society got muthaphuckas afraid to be regular…”
Frank Ramz drops one of the most poignant tracks in the last couple of years. I can’t deny it. This song is impeccable as is the video. I mean the imagery, though simple, is perfect to impart the message. Ramz in the noose is something you won’t soon forget.
His new EP, Medicine Filled Candy will be available soon. If you are looking to hear more from him, you can check out my previous review for his album, Quite Frankly.
Dontique – Skywriter (Video)
I first heard about Dontique in his collaborative work with CF. As I have heard more and more from him, the more his talent becomes evident. He has a new album dropping entitled Live To Learn dropping soon that is shaping up to be pretty dope. This track is produced by IDE, front man for Creative Juices.
