Single You Out: DJ Low Cut – De Ja Vu (ft. Rasheed Chappell and Soul The American Dream)

DJ Low Cut just dropped his second album, Dead End, on Friday. And let me tell you, this was all it was built up to be. The production bangs throughout the project, and each guest spot is impeccable to me. Some of my absolute favorite emcees are on this joint.

This cut features the oft requested Rasheed Chappell, as people avidly are requesting a second album from this emcee. His flow and voice are so distinctive in a genre that often lacks that element. He implements intelligence and message in his every bar. And this beat from Low Cut showcases everything…the horns…the vocal sample…the guitar…the drums. You get the full repertoire here

Single You Out: Ohkang & Stryfe – Gunz

Ok. This is one of those times where I am using a song to put you onto some great music. This is not a single that was released by the artist, but it’s too dope not to share. First off, Stryfe, has such an impactful voice and well woven lyricism that you simply have to pay notice. His word play here puts the spotlight on violence and guns. He does it with such a level of complexity, you have no choice but to be impressed with the gift. And Ohkang’s production is equally is brilliant. The vocal sample just transports the listener.

If you dig this song…check the EP, Double OT Buck. you are going to love it.

Oak Lonetree – Spiffy (Video)

Here’s an interesting track from Oak Lonetree. Spiffy sounds like one of this bare-bones jazz joints but with superlative lyricism. The production is actually handled by Mister Jason which really makes sense when considering it’s uniqueness. I am really feeling what they did here. It’s different and in a good way. It’s also pretty addictive. I am not sure if I’ve heard something in this vein before. Really solid work. In this day and age it becomes harder and harder to innovate.

I have on my radar to check out Lonetree’s new album, Bully Mammoth, which just dropped yesterday. I hope it’s as illy as this single.

Single You Out: Uncle Sam x Evill Dewer – Sleepwalking

Uncle Sam retains a special place at Hip Hop Dependency. He’s an artist that we started featuring close to our inception, and we have been able to witness the evolution of an artist over the course of his career. His collaboration with producer, Evill Dewer, shows an increased depth of sound. His flow on this track, Sleepwalking, is fused perfectly with the enchanting production from Dewer.

Check their EP, Disconnection, for a greater sampling of the sound they have created.

Big Block Silvers – Crime in the City (Video)

You want to know what the best EP of the year is thus far? Look no further than the project, Bold, from Blame One, Harry Apollo, and JonJ, also known as Big Block Silvers. This is some of the most beautiful hip hop I have heard as of late. There are six tracks, all of which are incredibly impressive. You can hear the amalgamation of dope on this track, Crime in the City, where boom bap, sound, and lyricism collide. You can not help but be impressed here. Cop this project. It is worth every penny.

Single You Out: Supreme Cerebral x Born Unique x Banish Habitual – Massacre (Prod. By Clypto)

Some new, new from producer Clypto’s (I am presuming since I can not find it yet) forthcoming project, #TheLoop. This is some rough stuff right here. The production is pretty straightforward, allowing emcees Supreme Cerebral, Born Unique, and Banish Habitual leave a wake of carnage on the track.

When I get more information on the project, I will let you know.
