Loving this Evidence produced track from Planet Asia. There is beauty in the subtlety of sound here. I love the guitar, the vocal sample, and the sound scape in general. It’s engaging but it lets Asia demonstrate is supreme lyricism and delivery. There aren’t too many who can match this man’s career and talent.
He’s got another heater coming called Rule Of Thirds which is dropping on October 29th. You aren’t going to want to miss that!
Lord Juco and Finn link up for a project called Details, which drops November 5th, and Fine Print is a single off of that project. The joint is very subdued and poignant with how Juco addresses life and circumstance and his place. Lyrics like this really resonate with me.
I talk people off the edge, while I stood adjacent / Only thing that keeps me sane is love and patience
K.A.A.N and Locksmith on a track together is like a dream come true. These two really embody lyricism as an art in the truest sense. These guys sound natural together and they are two of a very small number of artists who can switch cadences so effortlessly. And here they collectively express that their gifts are indeed unique and surpass the norm that is set. Love this joint, Ramp Up, through and through. Decap and Artic Beats provide the high powered production.
Recognize Ali continues to mesh his talent with a relentless work ethic. As he prepares his latest offering, Underground King II, he his us with the soulfully laced single, Soul Grit. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you who produced it as it’s a bonus track from the album with no listed credits, but it goes heavy with the horns, as Ali stake his clame to being one of the best to currently do it!
The new album drops on November 5th which isn’t too far at all. Stay informed!
When they say “the song cries”…this might be case in point as to what that means. Plazbo laces a melancholy and soulful joint for Rigz to explain his story, and be Grateful to all who are able to listen to it.
Super talented emcee who is grinding relentless. Again…does it need to be said again…Da Cloth.
Did I know that Krum and Playdough are the same person? Did I realize and forget? No matter. He was dope before, and he’s just as dope now, dropping great music with great messages. I love the production, the lyrics, and the power behind the track. Really dope cut.
He’s got a new album, DART, dropping on October 26th. I would check for that.
Lateb needs some recognition for his album, Undone, with producer, L.O.B. This is the perfect opportunity. And while this is not my favorite track from the album (that accolade goes to the track Grey Sunshine), this is certainly a hot one. Some artists, shouldn’t do their own choruses, but Lateb has the talent and skill to do that effectively, which really enhances the vibe of the song. He does that on several tracks on the album, and gives the project a rich, yet haunting dimension. Check it!
Dark Lo and Havoc team up for the new project, Extreme Measures, which is in digital stores everywhere. On the track, Mob Tales, you also get Havoc spitting on the mic (in addition to producing) which is both a privilege and a rarity. The sound here is both gutter and glorious as this proves a perfect pairing.
Marlon Craft drops another video single for his just released project, Homecourt Advantage Vol. 1. This track is a short one, but has some serious spice to it, as Craft spits it salty on all the naysayers over a hype beat from HaqqMav. Really a dope track, as he continues to accelerate with the momentum built in 2021.
Crossing The Rubicon, is the really dope album from producer IceRocks, featuring a host of talented emcees. Two of those emcees, Rome Streetz and Madhattan, join him on this soulful banger, Kennedy. I love how IceRocks uses this sample to his beckoning while the emcees flip precise sixteens.
Both of these emcees really get it done, professionally. I’ve been listening to ALOT of Madhattan over the last couple of years, and very few have put in the work Rome Streetz is doing over the same time period.
