Man, if Jaysaun, Ed OG, and Slaine decide to drop an album you can call it game over for the competition! I mean check out what they do over this Teddy Roxpin production! This is probably one of the ills competitions in the game and I can only hope that lightning strikes twice when it comes to an album.
As it is, this is off of Jaysaun’s forthcoming project…and that’s going to be certified ill in it’s own right.
This is my favorite track off of Ekundayo and Spitzwell’s collaborative effort, Magnificent Brilliance. Listen to this production from Spitzwell! How dope is that craftsmanship?!?!?! You know it’s special. The violin/fiddle is legit along with the varying ways it is applied throughout the song. And Ekundayo’s flow is something serious, flipping intricate lyricism on the thin line of life and death.
Enjoy this one people!
I saw Coal Cash (Double Negative) had a new album out on Bandcamp, Unsung, and I really have liked what I have hear from him thus far, so I am checking it out. And it’s a definite win! This album is big on substance, powerful lyricism, and dope production. Father Focus Confucious produced the entire project and did an incredible job.
In order to celebrate the release of this project and get the word out, I wanted to showcase this track featuring his compadre Taboo. The two have such great chemistry and create some powerful bars that play so well off of each other. It’s over eight minutes of brilliance.
Who’s excited about this collaborative project from Apollo Brown and Planet Asia, Anchovies, dropping next Friday? I know I am. These two artists are at the top of their game right now. Brown gives us blessings in the subtlest of forms with a stripped down, yet impactful production. Asia CONSISTENTLY proves that he has one of the sharpest flows in the game without a let down.
In terms of interesting and well crafted lyricism, Taboo, is among the best. When I get word that he has some new music, it’s gotten to the point it’s an INSTANT cop. His entire 64 bars here is rewindable. So many quotables intermingled with an amazing flow. Stay tuned for more…
More music from M-Dot? Yes sir, please! Foreign is another dope cut from the impeccable album, EgO anD The EneMy. And no people, this craft is not as easy as it looks, even though M-Dot may make it look effortless. The man who is on a hot streak right now when it comes to beats, Jon Glass, stands responsible for the production.
Vinnie Paz lets loose another video from his solo project from last year, The Cornerstone Of The Corner Store. Vinnie is narrating on the evil than men do for the sake of the dollar and the control it has over people. The track also features a gritty hook from Eamon and production from C-Lance.
Hopefully you have already checked the album, if not, go check it out now.
New single up for Shaz Illyork to represent for his forthcoming album, Graff City. The production is low key and stripped down to a few basic components, allowing Illlyork, and guests Tools Beastly and Therman Munsin to spread some heavy hitting sixteens amongst the masses.
Album drops September 12th.
This is my favorite cut from Your Old Droog’s album, PACKS, which dropped earlier this year. I am a sucker for that ME and Indian vibe in the instrumentation. Droog and Heems definitely drop it heavy. I particularly like Heem’s animated flow…definitely has character.
Can I put you guys onto something dope? I waited for a minute to check this album because I had a lot on my plate, but VerbzBeats and Deploi’s project, The Fever, is thorough from start to finish. The San Diego producer and LA based emcee have a really good sound going on here that I think people are really going to enjoy it once the word gets moving a little more.
I encourage you guys to spread the word on this one, don’t let it go unnoticed. It really is too good to be slept on. I chose this smooth track featuring Martin Salazar because it typifies the sounds from the project and will definitely get stuck in your head!
