Single You Out: Rite Hook – The Road (prod. by Sicknature)

Rite Hook is back with a Sicknature produced single as a prelude to his forthcoming album Modify.   Rite Hook brings a ton of energy to the track along with his trademark gravelly-voiced hooks.   And those two things have been his calling card for years.  If you haven’t been put on to Rite Hook releases previously, be sure to check out his albums, Draw You In and From The Wrong.

Single You Out: Bugsy Da God – Skill Mathematics (ft. Masta Killa, Prodigal Sunn & Shyheim) (prod. By Endemic Emerald]

Bugsy Da God has a new album out entitled, Camouflage Disciple.   I haven’t been able to check the album out in it’s entirety but here’s the new single, Skill Mathematics, featuring Masta Killa, Prodigal Sunn, and Shyheim.  This is song is as the emcees say…napalm.  Endemic Emerald show his skill behind the boards here twice in one day, as this would his second feature of the day.

Single You Out: Staalin – State of Emergency (prod. by DVient)

Here’s today’s ‘Holy Shit’ moment featuring Staalin.   This is one of those tracks that contains too many quotables to count.  It’s bars upon bars, and he puts together one of the best flows this year with the track State of Emergency.  DVient gets the energy flowing with some sharp sounding drums and an electric guitar that intertwines itself in the rhythm.

I can’t wait to hear more from Staalin!

Single You Out: Endemic Emerald & Skanks – Trouble (ft. E Class)

Endemic unleashes a bluesy and soulful production for Skanks’ thoughtful phrases as it regards to the ‘trouble’ that surrounds him.  He references the violence against the black community, the loss of his childhood heroes, Hulk Hogan and Bill Cosby, and the perception that Black Lives Matter is somehow a racist propaganda.   He really goes in on this one.

The two have a collaborative album in the works, Rapsploitation, dropping in February 2016.  So check back for more information.  I am sure there will be more coming.

Shabaam Sahdeeq – Get It ( prod. Big Ape) (Video)

Shabaam Sahdeeq’s new EP, Modern Artillery is out now and this track reflects well upon the whole project.    We showcased the single back in early October and now we are treated to the video. The concept of the video is pretty dope in that you think that you are watching a family man getting his bread the legal way, and only til the very end do you understand that he’s taking the crooked path to make the ends meet.  Pretty dope.  Production is by Big Ape.  Make sure you snag this EP.

Note:

Sleep from 2 Man Cypher dropped a new album last month, entitled The H.W. Bush/Clinton Era. And from my previous experience anything this man puts his hands on from an artistic standpoint is as good as gold. When I finished listening to this album, and thinking about his previous work, I couldn’t help but place this man in the ‘visionary’ category. There are traditional elements in his music, but there’s also something that’s unorthodox. He pushes the limits with his technique and bars. The rhyme patterns are certainly not elementary. His style is more thoughtful, intricate. and diverse.
