New project out, Quiet Mind EP.
38 Spesh & Harry Fraud – Sal’s Place (Video)
38 Spesh is the complete artist in my opinion, as he is equal parts emcee and producer. The man can do it all and I love to hear him spit over some vintage Harry Fraud production. Fraud has a keen ear for well placed samples and neck snapping drums, and I love how Spesh integrates equal parts life story and philopshy.
This joint is a gem that can be found off of the collaborative album, BEYOND BELIEF.
Rasheed Chappell – Narcan (prod. by Little Vic) (Video)
Rasheed Chappell and Little Vic linking up once again for their video single, Narcan. “This is more than just art, it’s arson”. Chappell summarized this cut in one line. He stands a man apart with his music, not settling in with any particular trends, and gimmicks and just giving you that raw, yet polished work. And the chemistry with Vic is unquestionable as these two have rolled out a pair of sonic triumphs.
Album, A Portrait Of, drops on December 9th.
Reckonize Real & Weapon E.S.P – Be Wise (Video)
I had just listened to Reckonize Real’s latest album, Subterranean Obscura, earlier today. And when I first heard this track lead off, I was hooked. I REALLY love how he articulated this beat! Hard to put into words how this vocal sound impacts the song. It’s almost like a chant that provides a white canvas for Weapon E.S.P. to spit a juxtaposition of bars that will keep the head reeling.
Rasheed Chappell – Manna From Heaven (prod. by Little Vic) (Video)
Rasheed Chappell dropping some street insight with proper poetic perspective over a production that Little Vic simply made cry. You hear how though one might be removed from those streets you grew up on, you still embrace and stay connected. This joint is short but really poignant.
Chappell has a new album dropping, A Portrait Of, on December 9th. Mark it down. Not to be missed.
Planet Asia x Body Bag Ben – Heist the Crown (Video)
New video single up for the title track from Body Bag Ben and Planet Asia’s collaborative album, Heist The Crown. As always, PA delivers the goods over some sinister boom bap music box beats from Ben. These guys are about as prolific as they come when it comes to crafting music in the last couple of years. Coming at you in a torrid pace.
BP x E Class – In These Streets (Video)
E Class and BP are back with a new video single, In The Streets, and a new project, Speak No Evil See No Evil II. These artists have great chemistry and bring a strong amount of energy to their music. BP ONLY produces bangers and some of my favorite joints from him feature E Class on the mic. And to the point, this joint is tough, and I am definitely going to cop their new one. You should be on that boat with me.
Boldy James – Flag On The Play (Prod. Futurewave) (Video)
Boldy James and Futurewave? Yes, please sir, can I have some more! The combined smoothness of these two artists is a blessing for the listener. Flag On The Play, is the lead single off of the forthcoming album, Mr.Ten08.
Don Def – Future Reference (Video)
New joint from emcee Don Def with production from Sherm LaRock (whom is extremely underrated). This song can be found off of his new album, Cypher Complete. It’s safe to say that this is a legit banger so we should all be inclined to check the full length.
