“the youth are more impressed with jewelry than jewels…” Ain’t that the truth! Spit Gemz remains one of the true elite lyricists in the game and demonstrates that with his personal style over this Aye Wun production. Godly Features coming soon.
Kenn Starr – Say Goodbye (prod. Black Milk) (Video)
I really like Kenn Starr’s new album, Square One. He has a cool vibe about him that has a calming effect on his music. For instance, even on this song, where he is cleaning house of individuals who are weighing him down, he sounds so casual about it. It’s just a unique style. Check out the album if you have not already. Black Milk is on the production.
Illa Ghee – Razor Blade Vomit (Video)
Illa Ghee is back with a video from his 2014 album, Social Graffiti.The Amazing SB laces the dark piano chords and crashes the symbols while Illa Ghee channels the inner viking in him and rips some tyrannical bars.
Mad Child – Mental (ft. Demrick) (Video)
New video from Madchild’s forthcoming album, Silver Tongue Devil, which also serves as an introduction to the newest member of the Battle Axe family, Demrick. Madchild drops tha demented lyricism and Demrick has a very straight forward and heavy flow. C-Lance on the production.
DJ Jean Maron – Jenny (ft. M-Dot)
The art of story telling is on full display with this bonus track from DJ Jean Maron’s latest album, True School. And who does he solicit to write the story to the music, none other than M-Dot. And he weaves the hard luck tale to perfection.
Born Allah – Westside (ft. Lucky I Am & J-Ro)
The ‘W’ is back in the building with Born Allah leading the pack. And he’s got LuckIAm and J-Ro helping to represent the Left Coast on this joint with a funky bass line aptly entitled, Westside. Good rhymes. Good vibes.
Whosane – Move (Video)
Wow. I showcased this single over a year and a half ago and I forgot how dope Whosane is! And you know what? I missed his project from 2013, Brooklyn To Capetown, but I am about to rectify that faux paus immediately. And after you here this song again, you are going to have to DL that too. But it also bears mentioning that this song also appears on the Straight Path Jewlz Mixtape which showcases a lot of other dope artists though it does come in at a hefty cost of $12. The choice is yours but enjoy the song/video.
Heddshotts & Junior Makhno – Cane Bagnato (ft. DJ Nix’On) (Video)
The Heddshotts camp is back with a new project, backed with production from Junior Makhno entitled, Circus Of The Freaks. I haven’t checked the album yet, but from the few tastes I have gotten (including this video), it’s going to be heavy. It’s free to download, but you can donate if you are supporter.
M-Dot – B-Sting (Video)
M-Dot bust flows brazenly over break beats. Befuddling the best of listeners with braggadocio and bravado. Oooohh. I had to try. At any rate, M-Dot, belittles (there I go again) the second letter of the alphabet and yet another song off of Layer Cake.
