L.i.f.e. Long & Bunty Beats – Climbing Up (ft. Paro (Split Prophets) & King RA) (Video)

I am always in the mood for some new music from L.I.F.E. Long, especially when it’s coupled with some vintage, soulful production from Bunty Beats. I have been following Bunty’s work over the course of the last couple of years and he’s someone who should be on every hip hop head’s radar. This joint is just oozing soul and blues.

L.I.F.E. Long and Paro each spit about different angles about the distortion of the truth in society and difficult problems the average man faces in a system designed to work against them. King RA on the chorus.

The cut is from Bat Out The Cave. Watch out for that!

Shabaam Sahdeeq – D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F. (Video)

Shabaam Sahdeeq drops another hot joint from the EP, Modern Artillery, which is out now. Big Ape putting out a production on D.I.L.L.G.A.F. that has more of a upbeat and vibrant vibe to it, the way it leads with the piano key samples. But Sahdeeq is doing anything but playful on this track. He is differentiating himself from the pack with every effort, so don’t lump him in with the pack. He is on a level all unto himself right now.

Single You Out: Jamil Honesty x Cool FD – Salute (ft. Fel Sweetenberg b/w Salute Remix (ft. Fel Sweetenberg x Ill Conscious)

The combo of Jamil Honesty and Cool FD are back at it again with a new single and a remix for that very single. This joint is a a true gem. Cool FD cooks up some production on the original that sounds so effortless. It’s smooth, soulful, and has enough knock to snap that neck back. Honesty and Sweetenberg integrate seamlessly within the rhythm and drop some crisp flows with some sick lyricism. I am particularly impressed with Honesty who sounds right at home with this beat right here.

The only thing different on the remix is the addition of a new sixteen featuring Ill Conscious. And he really does make a nice contribution with his verse.

Be on the lookout for Cool FD and Jamil Honesty’s forthcoming project, The Missing Flag.

Single You Out: Praverb The Wyse – Average Joe (ft. M-Dot & Revalation (prod. Soulmade)

Man, it really is hard to contemplate a hip hop world with out Praverb. As a matter of fact, I have just been avoiding thinking about it ever since he passed away over a year ago. What a great person and inspiration to so many…

But his love for music and his talent will remain a living testament to the man. EMS cohorts M-Dot and Revalation join the late Praverb for this previously unreleased joint.

There is a whole project that just released featuring dope matieral from Praverb, so make sure you check that out.

The Legacy

Sav Killz -Dreadnoks 2 (ft. Math Hoffa) / Onslaught (Video)

Sav Killz gives us the best part of two cuts with his latest video.  He is joined by Math Hoffa for the heavily GI Joe influenced track, Dreadknoks 2 and then does a solo round  for the song, Onslaught.

Both of the tracks are official but I am extremely partial to Dreadknoks 2 banger.  Incorporating the names of various characters from the cartoon into the lyrics of a song is certainly impressive.

Both of these tracks can be found from Sav Killz project Immovable Kings.
