L.I.F.E. LONG and Bunty Beats are back at it again and they have a new album dropping on February 27th entitled, Bat Out The Cave. The track features eight emcees from across the globe with unique styles but all dope. Beats lays down some production that any emcee would be happy to flip on. Always worth checking when these guy are involved in the music. Don’t sleep on the forthcoming album!
Everlast x Sick Jacken x Divine Styler – Dazed (Official Video)
I guess I really wasn’t up on Everlast, Sick Jacken, and Divine Styler’s collaborative project as WARPORN Industries. But I am keenly aware of the project now. I love the rock element exhibited on the track along with the industrial vibe.
This is really something interesting to check. The mixtape, War Porn, is out now. Check it out!
King Magnetic – Cash 4 Catastrophe (Video)
There’s holding these bars back from King Magnetic as he rocks over this Explizit One banger. What is a brawl for some is just slap boxing to Mag on this track as he has one of the strongest flows in the game, hands down. I can listen to his album over and over again. They present maximum replay value.
Speaking of albums, make sure you check his new one, Everything Happens 4 A Reason dropping March 31st.
Token – Doozy (Video)
Token is back with another single showcasing that same creativity and skill that made him an instant favorite here. There are so few artists capable of this level of song, that I can speak enough to the talent. And that creativity isn’t just shown in the song, but the video has got A LOT going on with it as well. Very entertaining.
Jigmastas – The Resurge (Video)
The Jigmastas made their long awaited return to the hip hop scene last year and it really was a sight for sore eyes. DJ Spinna and Kriminul have born witness to the deterioration of hip hop over the course of the last decade and heading back to the frontlines to provide the “resurgence” needed. Spinna always provides a smooth and eloquent production featuring pianos and horns, while Kriminul blesses the mic with his distance voice and fresh delivery.
This is what the game needed! Check out their album, Resurgence, NOW!
SPNDA – Handle With Care (Video)
SPNDA just released his album, Shards Of Glass, and Handle With Care is the latest video single from the project. And even though it’s short, it packs a pretty dope lyrical punch. I really like the album, it’s short but potent in skill level. If you are feeling this track, I think you should give it a shot as well.
M-Dot – Fugazzi (ft. Jaysaun & Bam Savage) (Video)
I am not going to speak too much on this latest cut from M-Dot’s album, egO anD The eneMy. After all, I have a review dropping for the project very shortly. But to put it simply, posers are put on blast for narrating false hood tales and impersonating tough guys. M-Dot and Jaysaun are putting the word out: you are not to be trusted!
Pawz One – Death From Above (ft. King Magnetic) (Video)
This is one of the dopest songs from Pawz One’s F.U.C.K! album that dropped last year. It features King Magnetic and an assortment of fresh lyricism that brings death to the competition.
If you are unfamiliar with Pawz One, I think it’s time for you get up on the man’s music. This is also the perfect time to mention Magnetic has a new project dropping on March 31st, entitled, Everything Happens 4 A Reason. Be ready for that!
Statik Selektah & Quadir Lateef – Exorcism (Video)
Man, it’s hard to get any more intense than Quadir Lateef gets on this Statik Selektah banger, Exorcism. I mean good gawd! This might be the most serious bars spit in 2017 thus far. I have always been a fan of Lateef and pick up anything he puts out, but this on this track he really is trying to exorcise some demons, fa real!
Chapee – Feel It (Video)
I love sharing a new artist with new music. On this track, Chapee and producer Max I Million channel their inner Pete Rock and CL Smooth. The Swedish emcee flows effortlessly in English which I will presume is his second language. He puts the majority of US emcees to shame with his gift. This joint is straight butta.
Check the EP if you are impressed, Feel It.
