Rockness Monsta & Ruste Juxx – Crownsville (Video)

Rockness Monsta and Ruste Juxx deliver the title track to their new album, Crownsville, produced by Lynx Mafia. I am not familiar with Lynx Mafia but they produced a banger amongst an album of bangers for this track. Arguably this is my favorite joint off the album as Rock and Juxx rep their territory and people on this joint to the fullest.

I also want to say this: Ruste has done a lot of albums over his career. Rock has a few under his belt as well. But this is their magnum opus. The way they play off of each other. It’s like they are fuel to each other’s fire and the elevation is apparent because NO ONE is making albums like this anymore. And Ruste said this on the gram before the album dropped, THIS is the album of the year. And you know what he might be right! This is a fire project!

Rockness Monsta & Ruste Juxx – Sean Lives On (Video)

Good gawd! Damn! This song is all sorts of fire. Adwerdz on the production really laces something that somber, yet banging, and it lends itself to something epic…Rockness Monsta and Ruste Juxx exchanging bars celebrating none other than the legend Sean Price. And a legend deserves an amazing tribute, and that’s EXACTLY what we get here in all ways. The way Ruste and Rockness trade these bars and the clever lyricism, is nothing short of great. I am moved by this because, the topic and the tandem bring the best out of EVERYONE. Everything sounds razor sharp on this! The visuals are so dope because it puts Sean right there in the song. The visual transitions are incredibly well done. And the only artists that could have pulled this off are present and accounted for. This is the definition of “proper respect”. Wow.

The Crownsville album is dropping later this month so be prepared for that!

Vstyles – Me (Video)

I actually came looking for something to promote Vstylez latest album, Buddy Revell and came across the video for Me. The album is really good, and while this isn’t my favorite track from the album, it still showcases the talent that abounds through the course of the project as the artist can show he can do it his way and not deviate from the path he sets for himself. This is definitely not one to sleep on.

K.A.A.N. & DJ Hoppa – Weight (Video)

K.A.A.N. and DJ Hoppa have been putting in work this summer! And that’s great for all of us because that’s a remarkable combination. They recently released the top notch album, Delusions Of Grandeur, which I think is one of the top albums this year. And yet they are not stopping. They have another project slated for release at the end of this month.

Weight isn’t as dark and menacing as the songs from the previously mentioned, Delusions Of Grandeur, but still one that bears a sense of angst and the want to get that weight and pressure of their backs!

Rasheed Chappell – Haysoos (ft. SoundsLikeDen) (Video)

Rasheed Chappell is back delivering that high quality content we have come to expect from him over the years. On the track, Haysoos, Chappell solicits the thought that we need a little more God in these streets, or laments the lack of with all the people he’s lost and things he’s seen over the years. SoundsLikeDen is on the hook and the track is produced by Beatsbyjblack and The Arcitpye.

You can find this on Chappell’s upcoming album, Nonstop: JFK ATL, which is dropping on August 30th.

Substance810 & Clypto – Gargoyles (ft. O The Great & DJ Grazzhoppa)

If this song doesn’t get you hype about the new album from Substance810 and Clypto, I don’t know what quite would do the trick. This joint is a smash! The production got’s some street Phantom Of The Opera organ vibes going and with DJ Grazzhoppa on the cut, this joint is a direct hit, don’t miss! Love the ODB sample mixed in, and then the smooth yet sharp deliveries from Substance810 and O the Great really compliment not only the track but each other. Love this joint!

Check the album, Wise Words, out now!

Rim & Eddie Kaine – Fender Bender (Video)

Chemistry is a theme this week in the music that we are promoting and who displays better chemistry than Rim and Eddie Kaine? The emcee know how to trade bars and verses seamlessly and honestly no one is really on their level. Bhramabull produces this along along with the entire 5 Dolla Holla release with Rim. Definitely high octane joint, and if you clash with these artists, best believe it just won’t be a fender bender.

Daniel Son & Futurewave – Stone Cold (Video)

Daniel Son & Futurewave are the best combo out right now in contemporary hip hop. When they link, magic happens, and great music follows. When they dropped The Pressure Cooker, in 2018 I was floored. That album is to me a personal classic, and they strike back in 2024 (a few releases in between) with their new release, Bushman Bodega. They have a sound together that cannot be denied. And on Stone Cold, you can hear that chemistry bubble. Futurewave laces a special concoction for his emcee that has so many dope and interesting elements while being subtle. And as has been said throughout his entire career, Daniel Son, is always in the pocket with his bars and illustrious pen.

….like a young Gordon Ramsey, give em’ hell in the kitchen.

XP The Marxman & Body Bag Ben – Good Times, Bad Times (Video)

Body Bag Ben and XP The Marxman are not afraid of a little dirty work. As a matter of fact, these guys in general know work. They both have insane work ethics when it comes to putting out a dope product, and here the bring you the title track from their new project, Good Times, Bad Times. And they put the wild west vibe in action as Ben gets that harmonica sample going over these drums that creates an even grittier vibe while The Marxman familiarizes people with his surroundings. This joint does not miss. Cop the record!

Poe Mack & Van Gunz – The Reset (Video)

Virginia has some talent people! And emcee Poe Mack and producer Van Gunz are among those gifted individuals. I am not sure where this track is off of, or if it’s a loosie but it stands alone as being dope. Van Gunz laces a beautiful production for Poe Mack to shed some pretty poignant and dope insight over.
