Locksmith is a very busy man. He has released a ton of music and videos in the last three months. Take Me Away is an introspective track where he provides his audience some insight into how he grew up and where he is now as a a hip hop artist. His album Labyrinth is coming out this year so be sure to check for that.
The AbSoulJah – In My Element (Video)
The AbSoulJah is a personal favorite of mine. I have been listening to his music for about four years and I am excited to hear his new album dropping in a couple of weeks, Dim The Light. This artist just has all the intangibles to be successful. God just gifts whom he pleases type ish…don’t be hurt you didn’t get blessed.
Pep Love – Hip Hop My Friend (Video)
Pep Love with some new heat off of his forthcoming album, Rigamarole. That is dropping on March 6th I believe. This track sounds good. Really good. Pep Love’s flow on this track is really impressive. I dug it from beginning to end. The video also is pretty fresh. I like how he incorporated different aspects of hip hop visually.
Mister – That That (Video)
Mister is on an impressive run right now. These are some visuals from his latest project, produced entirely by Dr. B, Just So You Know EP. The man simply has a way with words which is a good quality to have if you are an emcee.
Shaz IllYork – Fly Creature f. Spit Gemz, Carmen Indhira & Starvin B (Video)
I have had a rotten day only to be made better by this new Shaz Illyork and the rest of The Opposition team. This joint is indicative of what The Opposition is bringing to hip hop these days. What exactly is that you ask? It’s hard, yet intelligent rhymes over banging rhythms
Mally x The Sundance Kid – Once We’re Kings (Video)
This is a burner! I forgot how good this song was. It was originally a part of the the duo’s Free On The 15th series and now gets the visual treatment. The beat on this track and Mally’s flow make this an instant favorite.
Godilla – Rusty Machete (Video)
I just ran through Godilla’s album, Battle Beast: A Prelude To Human Zoo, and that album really bangs. It’s nineteen tracks deep with three bonus tracks. I am going to give it another listen, but I definitely think it’s worth picking up. Rusty Machete is off the album and is indicative of what you can expect from the rest of the tracks. Enjoy…
Locksmith – Illuminati (Video)
No days off for Locksmith. The man is on to his next project, Labyrinth, dropping in March. Illuminati is a great song in my opinion. The video is really well done. It’s definitely my favorite so far of this young 2012.
“He says we praise Azazel, and annually meet a Bilderberg” Damn.
Blacastan – The Booth (Video)
Blacastan is prepping the release for his latest mixtape, The Master Builder Part II. This is a cut off of that mixtape. The man is dope, pure and simple. You can also download the single if you like below:
Planet Asia – Golden State (Video)
I will never bet against a Planet Asia project being anything less than extremely dope. This joint is funky. Planet Asia could probably rap over cow bells and still sound fresh. The man just makes music better with his flow and rhyme prowess. Black Belt Theatre will be available on February 28th. Sleep not…
