The legend is back with an album dropping this summer entitled, The Greatest X. Simply put, Reks demonstrates almost an unparalleled longevity in dropping ill music time and time again. This time he puts the police on blast and in the front lines of the media with his tack, Hands Up. The production comes from STREETRUNNER.
Single You Out: Timeless Truth – Cold Wave (prod. by DJ Skizz)
Timeless Truth unleashes a banger to set you up for their new project by the same name, Cold Wave. The project drops on Monday, and I, for one, am definitely going to be copping this.
DJ Skizz and Timeless Truth prove to be the right combination on this one. A banger in the truest sense of the word.

Sleep (The Fraternity) – Government Assistance (ft. Sherm x Joe is Jova) (Video)
More dope from Sleep’s latest project, The H.W. Bush/ Clinton Era (which we reviewed late last year). Government Assistance is al about the failures of the one’s that are entrusted to do the good of the people. It’s social conscious consciousness rolled into a dope package that is produced by Wonder Breed.
Single You Out: Kon Boogie – Perfect
It’s been a while since I have posted some music from Kon Boogie but this cut is well worth any wait that I have suffered. On the cut, Perfect, Boogie drops some pretty inter-personal dope.
I am not as perfect as the man that I portray
This is a single off of the album, SPACESHIPS.
Single You Out: Don Streat – Streat Recognition
Loving this new cut from Don Streat and producer Odeewyne. This production coupled with Streat’s intense delivery makes this cut a much listen for 2016.
I hope yo hear more from Streat this year. Very underrated emcee.
Savage Brothers – Kill Kill (ft. C-Rayz Walz & Beni-Hana) (Prod by Snowgoons)
This video from the Savage Brothers comes off of their most recent effort, Freedom Or Death. This is probably my favorite track from the album, as the Snowgoons give this cut almost a heavenly vibe while the emcees put in their dirties work on the microphone. It’s a yin and yang thing working here. A definite plus is including the legend, C-Rayz Walz, on the cut.
Single You Out: Arcitek Lordz – Rock Head
I found Arcitek Lordz through an interaction last week on Twitter. They just shot over the link to the music and I gave it a listen, and the end result is, I think you all need to listen. The production is nice and the emcees have some legitimate fire to speak. I was impressed.
Rock Head is probably the shortest cut from their project, Smoking After Dark but it proves the point of their dopeness. If you like this joint, you will like their whole project.
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!
Single You Out: Jus Daze – Blah Blah Blah [Prod by Legenda]
I missed this new track from Jus Daze about a month ago. And I need to get this up for the masses to listen to. It’s more along the lines of promo than a true single but like most work Daze has put out…it’s potent. He’s tired of empty rhetoric and blatant lies, and he lets you know on a cut that lasts just over one minute long.
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.
