A.L. Laureate reached out to me a week or so ago to share his new project, Precautionary Measures with me. What separates Laureate from the pack is that he just bends the language differently from the rest. There’s a lot of depth in his music that may not be captured on first listen, which gives his music great replay value. So consider his new project a break from the mundane and a neuro-stimulus package. Enjoy…and check my favorite track from the project, A Cold Day, featuring SoulSeeker.
I am late to the game with this track…very late….but I am STILL going to push it because this guy has had a song that I have listened to for years without really knowing who flipped the rhymes. The Frank B. track was off of Shuko’s The Foundation, and called What Happened? I listen to this track HEAVY still to this day.
And it seems like he is still bringing this type of heat to this day and will drop his WAY OVERDUE album, Let Me B Frank. That’s due out soon…I hope. This track features Rock and is bound to turn some heads.
Well…well…well…DJ Bless and the team are back it again and delivering nothing but music to murk to. This joint is more than just a little vicious. It’s really hard to put into words a description of the production, other than it’s intense. And that fits Donnie Darko and Appollo Valdez’s styles just fine. It’s aggressive and a ‘take no shorts’ approach to music and I expect nothing less from this camp.
Self Titled album drops on January 15th. You have been warned!
Haha. Skillz took exception to a shot fired on Uncle Murda’s 2017 Wrap Up song and this is what happened. It’s pretty amazing, that Skillz doesn’t even really drop music anymore, but was able to come out and assassinate a man in a couple day’s time.
Listening to this should remind hip hop fans of two things…1) Skillz is STILL a remarkable lyricist. 2) Don’t poke a sleeping lion, cuz they are listening.
Well this is described in the Soundcloud description as a loosie. Let me tell you…if THIS is just a random track, then 2018 is going to be a GREAT year for Supreme Cerebral. This track is straight Berkowitz! Pete Twist designs something subdued, yet powerful, and Cerebral’s flow is intoxicating eardrums. It’s got phenomenal flow. Great start for the year. And until the new project drops…I am going back and checking out last year’s Kings Throne…ya dig?
Some new from the Milwaukee Monstaz to end the year with a bang. Taiyamo Denku & Maximus Da Mantis team up Baretta 9 to flip on this Dcypha production. The track has a definite sinister bite to it, with a tinge of the Halloween movie score added to it.
Dope sounds to set your eardrums upon!
Here’s some new illness from a group that I am not familiar with but sound pretty dope if you ask me.
The whole project from Neighborhood Creeps is consistent in it’s high quality music. The flows are legit with flavorful lyricism. And the beats are strong with interesting and well placed samples. It has a very dark sound which resonates with me. So enjoy this one dope track out of many and then cop the album, The Boom Slang.
Every once in a while you hear an album that makes you want to shout from on high about how good it is and here my friends is such an album.
Pete Sayke and Logevity’s new joint, Heaven Can Wait is a soulful, clever, and engaging release. My favorite track features songstress Selina Carrera and a real smooth flavor that I can listen to over and over again. I hope to be able to feature more music from the album, if not do a full review in the near future.
This track just goes! The sample that is used for this song is nothing short of brilliant. It turns out that it was a song used off of The Walking Dead by Allison Mosshart and flipped to perfection by producer Edd Bundy. And then you’ve got guest bars from Coal Cash and Taboo. Ill bars. Ill production. And that can be said for the entirety of I.N.F.’s most recent album, Bourbon Barrel Bordello.
Check this project out. I am a fan!
N.B.S. is vastly underrated in this game. They are so very consistent when it comes to dropping the illness. They always go heavy with that Boom Bap. They prove it once more narrating street tales over a neck snapping DJ Tray beat.
The new album, SwissVets2 should be dropping early next year. CDJ Trayan’t wait!
