Note:

While we all eagerly anticipate M-Dot’s album, Ego and The Enemy, he has released a teaser project once again showing the assortment and diversity of talent. This is old hat for us here at Hip Hop Dependency, but I am sure there are more than just a few of you who will appreciate these dope eight tracks.

You can see the company he keeps on some of these tracks and let me assure you, he was never out shined on any of these cuts. I hope you all can appreciate that talent as much as we do.

Stay tuned for more information on the album!

Single You Out: Blank Face – Jungle

Oh you want some bars? Blank Face has got some bars for you. SoulNewYork provides some production that lies stealthy in the background while the emcee puts in some serious work on the mic. It’s definitely that grimy, yet intelligent east coast boom bap that you need for those ear drums.

Always good to hear some legitimate fresh talent!

A new remix out for the cut Soap Opera from Sareem Poems and Ozay Moore. the production comes courtesy of Soulseize. The artists are putting a poetic twist on a deteriorating social situation. As certain members of the police appear ever more at odds with the Black Community, it’s songs like this that give us that lend perspective to time and place.

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.

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!
