DJ Skizz only makes the banging beats and this time he extends one of those productions to Kansas City emcee, Reach. The track proves to have all of the ingredients of dopeness and hopefully is indicative of Reach’s forthcoming project, Perfect Strangers.
Supe – I Cant Wait (Video)
Well, without the good folk over a The Hip Hop Head I would never have caught on to this artist in their backyard of New Jersey. Supe is brimming with confidence and rightfully so. He’s got a nice flow and some dope production to rock over, so why not him?
He has a new album out entitled, Short for Superlative, so if you are digging this, make sure you give that a listen.
Single You Out: First Division – Three Times Dope (ft. Supastition)
This Friday has been comprised of a steady diet of dope shit and this single from First Division is no different. These guys are dropping that no-frills boom bap sound directly on eardrums. This time the guest list is comprised of Mr. Authentic himself, Supastition. The beat by BeatWyze can certainly be considered a banger as well.
First Division’s EP, The Critical Path Pt. 2 drops on May 27th. So mark that on your calendar.
Ruste Juxx – Off The Hinges (ft. Rock) (Video)
Ruste Juxx and VStheBest continue to bless with more music from their 2013 album, Ready To Juxx. The track, Off The Hinges, gives us a little bit of a bonus with what I will consider some rare bars from Rock. I have always loved his style. His voice and the way he constructs a verse blesses every track he touches, including this one.

Single You Out: Lawrence Arnell – Rage Against the Machine (feat. Fel Sweetenberg)
I first came across Lawrence Arnell on a V-Zilla single I posted not that long ago. And lately you hear that name buzzing, and for good reason. The man is really competent with the verbals. On the track, Rage Against The Machine he teams up with a showstopper in his own right, Fel Sweetenberg. Sweetenberg not only lends his voice but his talent behind the boards as well. The production gives the feel that you are in a old school Nintendo game where the emcees are on the hunt. Just a thought…
Single You Out: Royal Illness – Brazen Bulls (ft. Devine Carama, Sheisty Khrist & JK-47)
Royal Illness lives up to his name with this track. The man and his compatriots commit a regal killing over this banger from Infidel Beatz. Illness, Devine Carama, and Sheisty Khrist all deliver rhymes that really serve as war chants to get that adrenaline flowing. You should check Royal Illness’ new album, Soundtrack To The War Vol 2. I am well on my way!

Awon & Dephlow – Real Hip Hop (Prod. by Phoniks) (Video)
When Awon and Dephlow say they are bringing that real hip hop, you can bet on that 100%. This song, from the beat to the lyrics, is authentic hip hop flavor that the HHD audience is sure to love. This song is off of their collaborative album, Dephacation. I have yet to check the project, though this song gave me the incentive I need to give it a listen. If the album is anything like this cut, we will have a winner for sure.
Single You Out: Don Streat – Pistol Grip (ft. Sullee J and Lord Baltimore DDS)
D.R.U.G.S. Beats laces this piano driven banger for the aforementioned emcees and your very own listening pleasure. A lot of energy vested in this track from all parties representing B’More to the fullest. I am not sure if this is connected with any other projects, but it stands on it’s own regardless.
Single You Out: Raf Almighty – Slumz (ft. Snook da Crook and Wyldbunch)
Man, this track has got me hype! DJ Brans productions tend to have that effect on me. This cut is an uptempo banger that will get the whole block started. It features Dirt Platoon, though this is technically a Raf Almighty solo track, and showcases another emcee that we’ve been featuring around this way, Wyldbunch. It’s almost like a piano player track from the wild west that’s given that 2014 hip hop flavor.
The track is the first single from Raf Almighty’s solo album, G.T.F.O.M.Y. which is set to drop on June 9th. Be on the look out!
