First off, Born Unique and producer Pete Twist ARE Grime Lords. Secondly, I have heard several of their collaborations in the past and they ALWAYS create dope bangers that hit eardrums heavy and Violent Violins is no different.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Unique and Twist are uniting for a Grime Lords album, that is said to be due out soon and is bound to be one of the toughest releases of the year with a slew of dope guest spots. Stay tuned for that.
Apathy is delivering the first single from his forthcoming album, The Widow’s Son. This banger, and it is a true banger, features Apathy unleashing salvo after salvo of bars stating his intention to keep delivering dope music to the masses. If you thought it was over, you thought wrong. Now you know. Production comes from the highly respected and talented Nottz.
ZoomOutPt1 is just one of the many powerful sounds coming from Escapism’s (Taboo x Tab) new self-titled album that I believe is a must have. The lyricism and the energy in the track makes the song feel like it is taking a casual ride in your brain while triggering those synapses. It’s soulful intelligence forcing the listener into introspection. Listen and be enlightened. Then check this amazing album!
It’s early, but this track from Jamo Gang (El Gant, Ras Kass, J57) could be one of the toughest tracks of 2018. Good lawd! That bass line, the scratching, the bars, all the way down to the additional vocals makes this joint a legitimate threat to anyone’s ears. This song was so dope to the senses I almost suffered stigmata.
Nutso releases his lead single for the new year in the form of the track Red Light. And you know he is delivering that heat in the coldest of seasons. These bars are tough over some high speed production from G’Sparkz.
Always been a fan of Nutso and expecting some more fire from him in 2018.
Evidence is back with his third single from his forthcoming album, Weather Or Not, which is dropping in a couple of weeks. 10,000 Hours doesn’t disappoint in the least. How could it? You’ve got Evidence’s trademark delivery, backed by a legend in DJ Premier’s production.
You can pre-order the album, everywhere so make sure you get on that.
One Be Lo showcases why he has been an elite emcee spanning well over a decade. The way he integrates Bible books with athlete names and assortment of other recognizable entities is just damn amazing. People’s pen game simply aren’t as clever as this. There are very few writing on this kind of level. Really brilliant.
I CAN NOT wait for the new Binary Star album, LightY ears Apart to drop. If the songs are just half this dope, it’s going to be all the way remarkable.
Chase Moore is an exceptional producer. His work behind the boards has always been exceptional. But he’s not only that, he’s an accomplished emcee. I listened to his new project and found it to be a really dope listen especially when bumping in the whip. My favorite track of the project is the closing one, Ozark. So give it a listen and if you are feeling it, be sure to check the album, Sweet Aromatic.
M-Dot and Effiscienz? Yes, please! M-Dot is legit at the peak of his game and Effiscienz is THE label right now. It has an outstanding habit of dropping outstanding albums every year. And you know what it did a week or so ago? It dropped the appropriate titled, Out Of Nowhere, that features some of the best doing it right now. DJ Brans on the boards for this one which gives this cut certified status. Enjoy the duo’s music as they run through Paris like nobody’s business.
