Snowgoons drop Black Snow 2.0 tomorrow which is a reworking of the original release from five years ago. The album is 36 tracks deep and is loaded with boom-bap and symphonic goodness. This is just a taste featuring member, Sicknature.
Jedi Mind Tricks – San La Muerte (Video)
New Jedi Mind Tricks album is coming our way on June 22nd and best believe it will be one of the most anticipated albums of 2018. No one in independent hip hop has quite the following as does Vinnie Paz and Stoupe. They’ve been rocking it for two (or nearly two) decades…delivering lauded production and hard -hitting lyricism. The recipe hasn’t changed as you can tell from their single here, San La Muerte. Vinnie is keeping funeral homes filled over a Stoupe banger.
Single You Out: Sareem Poems x Ess Be – Shallow (ft. Finale)
New single from collaborators, Sareem Poems and Ess Be from their forthcoming project, Mind Over Matter, which will be dropping in June. The duo links up with accomplished Detroit emcee, Finale.
The premise of the song reveals how shallow we as a society we have become our endeavors and seemingly put an increasing importance on ourselves and not on those around us.
The Last Emperor & Haak Filmore – Run It (ft. RUCKER p.a.w.k & CLEVER 1 OF DA BUZE BRUVAZ) (Video)
The release of The Last Emperor and Haak Filmore’s Jungle Jim Season 1 really caught me by pleasant surprise. While I knew the project was dropping sometime in 2018, I had no idea that it was coming last week. I just gave it a complete listen this morning, and it’s completely DOPE! Exceeds expectations especially for an artist that hasn’t dropped anything in a minute.
This video is pretty indicative of the quality sound you are going to get from the project as a whole. It’s steepened in hip hop roots but remains very fresh. The track features Da Bruze Brovaz.
Check it out and cop the album it’s a must have!
Pounds x Daniel Son x Crimeapple – 55K (Video)
This is a pretty hot line up right here spitting some heat over a Max Marciano beat. Daniel Son, Crimeapple, and Pounds go in and show why they are all rising to the top in today’s hip hop scene. Flames!
Sorry I Slept: Ekspan – Utterly Disgusted (2016)
I haven’t done one of these features in a minute because to be honest I really don’t have the time to go back and check out older releases unless I just happen to stumble upon them.
Well that happened, somehow, when I came upon this excellent album from Ekspan entitled, Utterly Disgusted. And I mean EXCELLENT. The production is entirely superlative and the wordplay and flows are well beyond what we are seeing for the most part today.

Single You Out: Ras Beats – And I Say (ft. John Jigg$)
Now this track is just all kinds of well-rounded type dope! John Jigg$ teaming up over some Ras Beats rhythms?! Shit got all types of filthy on this track. This beats is among the hardest I have heard in 2018. The drums are ridiculous and Jigg$ spits nothing but flames.
This song is the second installment of a year round EP that Ras Beats has cooking so check back in a couple of months to hear the newness but enjoy this for now.
Benny x 38 Spesh – Paper Trail (Video)
More fire from the collaborative album, Stabbed & Shot. Spesh and Benny deliver the stories of making that money and keeping it clean regarding all type of hustling. It’s dope street knowledge delivered over a mellow beat from 38 Spesh.
If you haven’t copped the album yet, you are just plain missing out.
Single You Out: Gary Rue – Dreams (ft. Recognize Ali x Jon Buell x DJ Trickalome)
Gary Rue has announced a new project and if it is anywhere NEAR as good as the last we are all in for something dope!
That being said, this new single really speaks for itself. It’s got an incredibly raw and intense sound that was laid by much respected producer, Sultan Mir. Plus you got some pretty tough wordplay alongside Rue with Recognize Ali (not many names hotter than this one right now) and Jon Buell. DJ Trickalome then add some ill scratches to make this cut standout all the more.
Really excited to hear this project which I was told will be dropping in June.
Cayoz – Fire & Ice (Feat. Phoenix Pagliacci) (Video)
Cayoz gives us the visual to his latest track Fire & Ice. He puts picture to canvas so to speak as he narrates the intimate complexities of being in a relationship with someone of the opposite personality and demeanor.
Very few give music this kind of depth, that’s why continue to showcase his talents as an artist.
Keep checking back with HHD for more music from Cayoz!
