I’ve always enjoyed Matlock’s unique sound. His energy and delivery are all together different than what other artists bring to the table. His new track, Follow Me, has a psychedelic vibe to it which correlates to the Jim Jones cover art. HIs references to other hip hop artists are well placed humor as well. So I raise my glass of Kool Aid to you all!
Nutso releases the video for his dope single, Red Light. Nutso makes regular appearances at HHD because he is sooooo consistent as an artist. Year after year he drops straight bangers. He and his team also have a level of professionalism when it comes to marketing their craft that not a lot of artists have.
That’s an aside. Ride with Nutso on this video and bang this in your whip on this solemn Sunday!
I have featured Siyah on the site way back in 2013, but I recently received an email from him featuring a song from his new project, Steadfast. I am glad he is making music still because this song is pretty dope, which in turn is going to make me cop the project.
This cut produced by iSample, is mellow but also has plenty of edge about it. There is a definite spiritual element with this track. Siyah is well versed in religious knowledge but it’s all done as a point of reference. The track also features bars from Kingdom Kome. All together very dope…
I had to re-showcase some material from this album, Chemical Monkeywrench, from Organik Poisons. The song dropped almost a year ago, but the album was just recently released. I am really feeling the guitar licks and drums from the song Respect Fire. Plus it features bars from the much respected Spit Gemz and Mitchell Aims. This is some pure head not effect on here.
Definitely check the album, it’s a dope listen that I don’t think should be left to go gently into the night. Lots of bangers on deck here!
Focus The Truth drops an extremely mellow and scaled down track, that really allows the listener to focus on the exceptionally well constructed lyricism. If you love that dope wordplay, you are going to really dig this.
I was aware of the project Q85 that dropped earlier this year with the track Basquiat which I really felt, but did not know he dropped an album, Love Will Get You Killed, which is from hence where this track came. I am going to have to check that out.
Last single before the Jamo Gang EP drops on January 31st. You know that shit is going to be flames…and no…not lighter flames. Like California Forrest Fire type arson! J57 laces ANOTHER incredible uptempo banger, that accomplished wordsmiths, El Gant and Ras Kass stake claim to another bout of verbal armageddon. Does that sound over-dramatic? Not really.
Cayoz is back to releasing personal fire in 2018. Fire & Ice features production from long time collaborator O*Zee and vocals of Phoenix Pagliacci. The music is the perfect mixture for Cayoz’ subject matter of relationships, and the good and bad that comes when you encounter people of different mindsets. Each verse relates a different aspect of how opposing mental forces mingle together. It’s clever and relatable, and memorable.

It’s really hard to believe that the last time I featured Forbidden Dialect was back in 2011. That would make them one of my initial submissions back when we were back in our infancy. I recently received an email from one of the members asking me to check out their new project, Wi-Fi on the South Side. I did a couple of days ago, and this album they put together is fantastic. Some great rhyme, super production, well incorporated samples and GREAT all around song making. I am going to hit you off with the track Old School and then hit you with an album review soon. Check it! The album is free!!!!!
This is a release that snuck up on me which reminds me I really need to get up on my game since I am a huge Team Thoro supporter and have been for years. Lord Of Kingz is an eight track odyssey that features the heavy hitting lyricism of AbSoulJah, Halfabrick, and Spicco.
Abundant Thoughts is a nice intro to the project and hopefully I will be able to hit you all off with a full review in the coming weeks. If you like this track, I all but guarantee you are going to feel the album. Production is coming from Barz4thehood.
