Planet Asia is gearing up for another album, Mansa Musa, which is set to drop in a couple of days and since the man can do no wrong, and you love hip hop, this is an auto-cop. Who has consistently dropped more dopeness than Planet Asia over the years? No one has delivered what he has with this type of consistency.
On the single, Mansa Musa Medallions, Hus Kingpin and Smoovth join Planet Asia over a glorious production from J.O.D. The track has an ill, yet glorious flavor about it.
Overseas producer Icon Curties just unleashed a project, Modus Operandi, in which he produces ten beautiful tracks from most of my favorite emcees doing it. And, let me be honest (as if that’s sometimes not the case) but I really feel like everything Daniel Son is touching right now becomes fire. So here, yet again, is another feature including him. Check out the cut, and rest assured that if you like what’s going on here, you are definitely going to want this album in your collection.
I am pretty familiar with Tone Spliff and surely know Recognize Ali at this point with as many as gems as he’s unleashed over the last couple of years. But it’s about time we all get up on Young Lo. Wait a minute! Check that…Young Lo, is actually an artist that we’ve helped promote sometime ago, when he went by the name Emilio Lopez. He was dope then and it’s really good to hear him doing his thing again. His flow sounds filthy over this Tone Spliff production, casting mumble rappers over the ledge.
Really dope song, hailing from the forthcoming project, Tape Deck Music, dropping in June.
New video from Falconcrest’s last album, Something Different. The beat from Nicholas Craven is perfect for the narration of stories and perspective from the tandem, and colleague, Wyze Wonda. It’s just a powerful story that’s made even moreso with the photographs and visual perspectives.
Shout out to this powerful artistic endeavor.
Emcee Evolve links up with revered wordsmith, Chino XL for the record, Heroin. This is appropriate because the track is highly addictive. The beat by Swab out of the UK is just pure fire.
Evolve also does a good job of holding his own with a lyrical heavyweight such as Chino. This track is off of Evolve’s forthcoming project, Be My Guest. If the project is half as good as this heat rock, it will be an auto-cop on my part!
So I have drawn out our interview segment with Taboo for a couple of months to keep his name embedded in your noggins but it will all be coming to a close shortly. However, I strongly encourage our readership to check out all the short videos to get an idea for what Taboo is delivering to the game.
In this segment, Taboo goes in about all the projects he has in the works this year. Below I have showcased his latest track, Invocations, as a member of Double Negative.
Pawz One & Robin Da Landlord lace us with the visuals for the title track to their new project which dropped last Friday. The project is dope in it’s entirety, and as a matter of fact I am working on a review for it, because of how much I enjoy it.
Listen to the drums Robin Da Landlord uses for the backbone of the track? If your head is not snapping back and forth, I am not sure what to tell you. This track is the embodiment of what hip hop should be. And the dream here, truly is hip hop articulated in it’s purest form…and that’s what happened on their latest effort.
The Red Giants (Jermiside and Brickbeats) just released a new EP entitled The Shade, and Dick Dasterdly just happens to be my favorite cut from the project. You’ve got superior lyricism and flow from Jermiside and I am loving how Brickbeats utilized the guitar in the production. It’s subtlely fantastic.
John Jigg$ continues his streak of bangers, this time rocking’ the club. This song has potential night life anthem written all over it, and he does it without catering to a pop element which I love.
Enjoy!
Lord Juco has been dropping a steady stream of dope EPs over the course of the last year and a half. His new one is entitled, Jade, and this cut with Codenine and Daniel Son is arguable the best off a really good project. This beat from Four Limbs is simply vicious. You will all really enjoy this joint.
