Abyss brings us an uptempo single that features bars from family favorite M-Dot, production from C-Lance, and vocal stylings from Aisling Peartree. The song is fire and bound to bring life to your evening. Get up and get something!
Single You Out: Defiant III – Crossfire
The Defiant III are up to no good with the release of the single, Crossfire. IDE, Alucard, and Jise each drop some gems over a production from Warryn Syde. The whole track strikes me something ferocious with a captivating dark piano riff operating snapping snares.
Purge Season is dropping in the fall.
Ugly Heroes – Daisies (Video)
Ugly Heroes release a video for the track Daisies, from their much vaunted album, Everything In Between.
The realness in this song, this album, and this group, really relates to people. There is such a human element to everything they do. They are humbling and at the same time motivating. As a listener and a fan they always inspire me especially during difficult times.
Enjoy.
Single You Out: Dirt Disciples – Hologram
Dirt Disciples keep putting out dope music with this, Hologram, the latest single from the latest, Opportunity Knox Vol. 3. This joint is smooth with production from DJ Concept.
Enjoy.
Ras Beats -Wit No Pressure (ft. Roc Marciano) (Video)
Ras Beats just released his dope producer album, Control Your Own, on Friday. Wit No Pressure, featuring Roc Marciano was the first single from the project, and it makes sense to make it the first video.
Everyone I have talked to about the album thinks very highly of this album, including myself. It has really deep production and features some uniquely dope talent on the mic.
I suggest you check it!
Eff Yoo – Chinese Super Ninjas (ft. G.S Advance,Skanks The Rap Martyr and Spit Gemz) (Video)
So I have a post with Spit Gemz today and one with Skanks but why don’t we tie them together with this cut from Eff Yoo and Rediculous’ album, The Eff Word. Chinese Super Ninjas is a dope posse cut that also includes bars from G.S. Advance.
There’s a really good mix of bars and styles on this cut, but my favorite line comes from Skanks:
…I never served time, I always made my time serve me…
Man, I like that wordplay.
Skanks and Endemic Emerald – Trouble (ft. E Class Wright)
Skanks and Endemic Emerald are doing their part as artists to address the brutality that is plaguing the United States currently as we hear of countless stories where police are acting indiscriminately with deadly force in the black community.
What I like about this video is that it was done with a lot of thought and the message remains prevalent throughout the music.
This is a video single from the collaborative project, Rapsploitation.
Spit Gemz – Al SweearenGemz (prod. by Junior Makhno)
Man, this song is tough, and even takes on a new appeal with video. In this way you can see Spit Gemz expressions while spittin’ his ridiculous wordplay over this Junior Makhno beat.
You can find this dope cut in two places, Spit Gemz released, Godly Features, and Makhno’s recetnly released, Clandestinity. Now all we need is a fully collaborative project between the two because this track sounds so good!
Slant – I’m Still Good (ft. J-Tronius and L. Bean) (Video)
Slant from the Heddshotts crew has a new single in prelude to his album, MCMLXXXIV, which is due out on July 19th. If you are a fan of that boom-bap, then you are going to want to pick that up. Slant has put in some serious work over the years with the crew, and it’s time to shine. This song combines a little soul with a little rugged…so feast on that.
