Gotham Green has been featured here numerous times, but it has been a minute. As a matter of fact, it has been two years since he has dropped some new music. But he truly hasn’t lost a step which is noted on this new Don Korto produced track, No Hard Feelings. The track’s tone is casual, yet definitive. Green is back but he’s not here to join the parade, he’s here to continue to carve his own path.
Don’t sleep!
La Coka Nostra is back like the horsemen of the apocalypse dropping strife and pestilence through your speakers with their latest single, Waging War. On the track you get dope sixteens from both Ill Bill and Slaine, along with a strong hook from Rite Hook. Arcitype is on the beat.
The group’s album, To Thine Own Self Be True, is due out on November 4th and is not to be missed.
I was not up on Bobby Craves and Feral Serge but I am thinking I am going to start looking out. I like the simplicity of the production from Jay Sax as the bass line drives the music. All the while Craves and Serge deliver some intricate some bars that the listener really can dig into. It’s the exceptional turn of phrase that will draw you in.
It is my duty and obligation to share dope music with you and thusly I present you with the single, Last Man On Earth, from Ghost Of the Machine, and featuring Red Pill. The track is personal and introspective, with a touch of despair. The track suggests that no matter the belongings, situation, and company that the artist will still feel lonely. I’ve been there and can definitely respect.
The track is from the album, It’s Lonely Out Here: The Story of J.F.M. If you are feeling this track then this is an instant cop. The album is solid and chocked full of true content.
This new single from Cayoz will inevitably have you nodding your head and snapping those fingers. Out The Box is a complete hip hop party for you ears. Cool FD puts together some of his best work for this track with the jazzy flavor, horns, and pianos. It’s layer after layer of musical dopeness. Then you’ve got Grazzhoppa chopping up an old school Slick Rick sample amongst others making it even more memorable. Cayoz, Vandalyzm, and Add-2 each drop a dope 16 to make this song stick with you.
UG’s forthcoming album, Portals, is my White Whale. I have been waiting for it forever and for the longest time, I thought it was never going to drop. I thought it was just going to be shelved. But now we have proof of life with the IDE produced single, The Mystic. On this track you get to hear UG flip a one of a kind style over a production that actually caters to the word…”mystic”.
Even greater news is that we have a release date for the new album. It’s dropping on October 21st. Make sure you notate that on your calendar.
Our friend M-Dot is back at it again narrating tales from his travels over a Soulslicers’ production. My reaction to the track? First, it’s really great to hear some Soulslicers’ beats. I have really missed their work over the past couple of years. And it really is a match made in heaven when M-Dot starts flexing his verbal muscles over their heat.
I can’t wait for M=Dot’s new album to drop along with affiliate Mayhem’s joint. Stay tuned for more EMS goodness!
New single from Slaine’s forthcoming EP, Slaine Is Dead, which is dropping on September 23rd. Pusher, details just that…the life of a neighborhood drug pusher. It’s a short but dope narrative.
Quite honestly this is one of the deepest songs I have come across in a very long time and it is executed to absolute perfection. There is an incredible amount of depth in Token’s story telling and lyricism. It’s one of the few times that I have had to take a deep breath after listening to a song or watching a video. Token narrates three stories, two of which are classmates, and one is his own.
Apparently he has a project called Eraser Shavings just around the corner.
This beat from Vic Grimes is just point blank, treacherous. I love how the guitar maneuvers through the drums. Daniel Son, Acetik, and SmooVth each put in quality work on the microphone making this song something memorable.
There is no word if this joint is destined for a particular project, but stay tuned!
