Political Animals – Who Want What (Official Video)

Alright, this video and music has a ton of stuff working for it. First off, it’s innovative beyond belief. The video is so unique it is in of itself a complete work of art. A real shout out to the director, Shane McLellan, for crafting something that stands out as stellar in a world of mediocrity, especially when it comes to videos.

But let’s not lose sight of the dope music. Political Animals have a fresh and enlightening appeal. The drums and the bass line are heavy hitters here and the rhymes are impeccable. All together this is the sure shot heads should be looking for in 2016.

I hope to hear more.

Single You Out: Double Negative

Double Negative dropped this album, Krackatoa, not that long ago and it’s important that you give this album a chance. It’s incredibly ill. As a matter of fact, it could be my favorite from this year, at this point. The production is down right sinister and the emcees consistently deliver dense lyrics with tight interwove wordplay.

The Medicine Doesn’t Work Here, is an eery track that addresses the ills of society that are torn beyond repair. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Single You Out: Snake Hollywood – Great Minds (ft. Dave East)

When Snake Hollywood drops a new song, heads should take notice. This man bends the English language to his whim and makes it seem effortless. The production has a very surreal vibe to it, but the lyricism from Hollywood and compadre, Dave East, slap those ear drums hard. As Hollywood puts it:

Don’t take my civilized nature as some soft shit…

 

Nor sir, no sir…not never. Be on the lookout for more music. It’s been too long.

Uncle Sam – Pioneering Burdens (feat. Adam Horn) (Video)

Uncle Sam is someone I have featured a couple of times on the blog and was perhaps one of my first few feature on the site when we started five year ago. Every time I hear a song from him, I hear a little more polish and refinement in the music. Pioneering Burdens is simply put a dope song. The production features a dope beat with scathing symbols and a hook that reels you in. Uncle Sam’s flow and lyricism sounds very much on point.

This track is taken from his EP, Get Off My Lawn.

Single You Out: Leeroy Destroy – The Last Boy Scout

This emcee, Leeroy Destroy, from Bloody Monk Consortium, has an ill flow on this track. It’s simply put, relentless. He never stops, it’s just bar after bar. This is pretty impressive and i hope to hear more from him. The production credits on this track go to FuckRico.

This track coupled with that Labal-S track I just posted, encourages me to check out more Bloody Monk material as I know there’s much to be heard.
