I originally checked for Matty because I saw he had tracks with Illmaculate (Sandpeople) and Marv Won. I liked what i heard and I checked his entire release. It’s really good. If you like this track you prolly are going to love the album, That Moment. I am listening to it right now…that fire!
Koncept x Tranzformer – High (Video)
What did I say? I said every week we are going to get something new from the Brown Bag AllStars camp and sure enough here we go! This time Koncept drops off the visuals from one of the tracks off of his and Tranzformer’s collaborative effort, More Than Meets The Eye.
Voli – Stress (Video)
Does anyone think it is sacrilege that I think Voli is just as good, if not better, than J.Cole? I know some of you do. I just don’t care though. The man consistently makes dope songs. He’s got strong lyrics, production, and can make a hook. I call it like I see it. You do the math and decide for yourself. But do yourself the favor and check out a collection of his works before making rash decisions. This man should definitely be making it large in the music business. Check out In The Meanwhile….
Brown Bag AllStars – Got It All (DJ Brace Remix) (Video)
I don’t think there has been a more productive crew in 2011 than the Brown Bag AllStars. It seems like every week one of the members has something new to share. This DJ Brace remix to Got It All is my favorite track to their recently released, Brown Bag Season, Vol. 1. The video is pretty entertaining.
Final Outlaw – Invado (Video)
I have dug a few songs that Final Outlaw has done and this video hit my inbox yesterday and I thought I would share it. I love how they mad this video really dark and the flames moving in as they were burning a photograph was a really nice touch. Props to the director on that. Final Outlaw has a new project dropping shortly so you definitely want to check for that.
Locksmith – Breaking Point (Video)
One of my favorite emcees reppin’ the West Coast. Locksmith has that unique blend of ill lyricism, keen observation, and edginess. He reminds me a little bit of Ras Kass on how he appeals to a very diverse audience. Breaking Point comes off of his Free EP, I AM LOCK, which you can download here. Be on the lookout for his collaborative LP with SKIBEATZ entitled, Embedded. That drops on November 15th.
The Regiment: Battle Cry (Video)
This video for Battle Cry was released in conjunction with their album, The Panic Button, dropping yesterday. I gave it one listen yesterday and really dug the sound of it all. This song definitely bangs and if you like what you hear make sure you cop the album.
DJ Brans – Worldwide ft. M-Dot and Armageddon (Video)
I brought you the single last week and now I bring you the visuals and all I can say is…WOW. This cut is dope and this video is on par with music. I love what they did with the lighting in the hand gestures. The whole concept of a pseudo battle taking place between these two very ill emcees is a good look. It would be cool to do a whole album as such. DJ Brans album BRANStorm is dropping this year and if this cut is any indication, I will definitely be copping.
Shadia Mansour – Al Kufiyyeh 3arabeyyeh (ft. M1 of Dead Prez) Video
I have heard Shadia Mansour on some of The Narcicyst tracks and I really like her soulful voice. Now I get a dose of Arabic hip hop and the woman gets down (albeit in a language I can’t understand). M1 drops a dope verse in support of the Palestinian voice and that is a cause I am always willing to support. Definitely check her out!
