Single You Out: Supastition – Thanks, Ghost

Supastition is putting together a monthly series called Solitaire, where he will release a song that he alone produces, writes, records, and does the graphic design for.

For the most part, I don’t mess around with these series type projects because they are hard to keep up with, but I do appreciate the entire discography of Supastition. So I am going to give this one a go.

On Thanks, Ghost, Supa pays homage to Ghostface Killah’s storytelling ability while narrating a couple of his own. He flips on a couple of events that occurred in his life while listening to tracks from the Wu-Tang vet. Pretty clever if you ask me.

Take a listen and pass it on!

Single You Out: The Fraternity – Watchers On The Wall (Trey G x Sleep TF x Jus Ra)

Oh shit! It’s been a few years but now we finally get a Fraternity project. The team looks like it has changed up a little bit with the emcees on the Dark Arts Of The Iron Age. But the illness is the same! The production throughout the project is dark yet knocks pretty hard. The lyricism is extremely well crafted by each emcee yet they each maintain a unique style.

This track has a Game Of Thrones appeal to it as do some of the others. Straight illness! Check the full album and pay what you want! I dropped some cheddar on it.

Note:

I waited for this album for three plus years from Alpha Faktion. Their EP, Truth, Lies, & Audiotape is a staple in a very crowded iTunes Library. So when Azwun, Kraze, and DJ Enyoutee finally dropped their new project, Creative Control my expectations were extraordinarily high. But this is what the team did in the process of making this album while I waited anxiously: They made something that was timeless.

Vic Orena – Problems By The LB (ft. DanO) (Video)

Well this thing is really going to happen huh? New Vic Orena album, Loyalty Electric, is coming and we couldn’t be more excited! This spittery shot at us by Vic and DanO is lucid fire. This song is all about lyricism front and center and these guys deliver bar from bar. Vic had me do the double-take/rewind with the Black Philip line. And DanO…have I heard of him before? Why haven’t I? He’s pretty damn ill.

Don’t know when it’s dropping but best believe I am font and center when the album comes to fruition.
