SuperSTah Snuk and Reks take it back to the high school lunch room, where kids used to bang out beats on the tables and set off ciphers to showcase their skills.
The track is off of Snuk’s latest offering, Man Of 1000 Styles.
Pair Of Kings (Craig G x Menace) – Silver Daggers (Video)
Craig G and Menace unite to form the unit, Pair Of Kings. And these veteran emcees are tossing these Silver Daggers in the direction of the competition. This should serve as an instructional video for how rhyming should be done.
The duo is slated to drop an album in 2017 so watch out for that release date.
Cas Metah – Forget About It (Theory Hazit Remix) (Video)
Cas Metah dropped his latest album, Second Wind, a couple of weeks ago, and it’s about time we showed some love. The track, Forget About It, is remixed by Metah’s compadre Theory Hazit, and the sound embodies that of the entire album. Metah is putting all the naysayers on notice when folks might say that he’s too old to be doing his thing. Hip Hop is the Fountain Of Youth and he’s going to continue drinking until the water runs out!
Dope cut!
Blaq Poet & Comet – Holding Back (ft. Tragedy Khadafi & B Dvine) (Video)
Blaq Poet and Comet release another heavy hitter from their last album, Mad Screwz. Holding Back also features B Divine and Tragedy Khadafi over a soulful banger of a track.
If you live for that hardcore hip hop like I do, you need to check out the album.
U.G. – Broken Vessel (Video)
Broken Vessel is the second video from U.G.’s new album, Portals. Again, you will not find a style similar to that of U.G. around. And neither will you find the production stylings of IDE. This project was molded and crafted for years…literally. The ear for perfection can be heard throughout the project. In the video description of this track, the words “mechanical” and “orchestra” are used. That sounds appropriate. This is a “mechanical orchestra” by U.G. and IDE leaving a unique stamp in 2016.
Token – Exception (Video)
Man, Token, DOES IT AGAIN, with his latest cut, Exception. He displays a deftness at storytelling and conveying a powerful message. A gift that is rarely demonstrated among his peers. The message here: indifference is rewarded as cowardice. If you see a wrong, then right it.
If you don’t have his new project, Eraser Shavings, make sure you cop that. It is among the best this year.
The Last Emperor & Haak Filmore – Jungle Jim (Video)
The Last Emperor has always been one of my favorite artists. However, he only has one album to his credit (that I know of) and a handful of mixtape-esque projects.
Well, now word has come that he has an album coming out in 2017 (again titled Jungle Jim) produced by Haak Filmore. That’s damn exciting to think about. The Last Emperor is an extremely talented emcee and I hope the rest of the hip hop community has the opportunity to check it out. This song is just the tip of the iceberg for what is to come.
Complex Fusion – Verbal Toxin (ft. Shadow The Great) (Video)
It’s great to hear a new group of young and talented artists who are representing Hip Hop in the right way. The three emcees who flip on this smooth production are EXTREMELY talented and they really gel. While they have distinct styles, their mentality on the song was the same and really made a cohesive joint.
Good hip hop groups are very hard to come by and these guys from Complex Fusion can do something special. I can’t wait to hear more.
Iceberg Theory x Tokyo Cigar – Assisi (Video)
Iceberg Theory and Tokyo Cigar are back at it and creating both cerebral and interesting music for joe public. I strongly encourage people to check out this duo. The chemistry is real. The production captivating. The rhymes thought provoking.
New album on the way entitled Philokalia.
