Local-Mu12 is on the move! Possibly my favorite camp doing it right now. They have such diverse styles and those styles give birth to this track, Welcome to Local-Mu12 produced by Real McKoy. The song is one of those subtle bangers that don’t overtly make your head bob, but then by the end of the track you realize your neck is sore. You can cop the collective album, Labor Day, for a full feel as to what the crew has to offer.
Apathy intermingling that traditional boom bap with Masonic mysticism. I am loving the production. from Smoke The World, and the rhyme content from Ap. The album, Connecticut Casual, drops on June 3rd. Can’t Wait.
It’s been a loooong minute since I have heard new music from Fel Sweetenberg, but I loved his last album, The Sophmore Jinx. It was one of the first albums I reviewed back in 2010. This track make it appear that he took no days off as it’s just as, if not better, than his earlier material. Some of that credit probably needs to be given to boom bap specialist, DJ Brans for lacing that beat.
More goodness is delivered courtesy of Nutso and Dee Metto’s collaborative project, Fluushang Metto. This cut separates the real from the fake with a lineup of tough rhyme writers and one of the best DJ’s around, DJ JS-1. It’s a thorough track…enjoy.
So this is MaLLy holding his tongue? Yeah. Right. This song is so ominous and dark that shivers started shaking the spine. Everyone delivers superlative bars and the production is phenomenal. This track will be found on MaLLy’s upcoming album, The Colors Of Black.
I am violating that rule again where I don’t usually post emcees rocking over instrumentals, but when Spit Gemz spits, rules are forgotten and replaced with dope music. Gemz kills this production!
Skeezo continues his run of releasing tight music, this time unleashing a video single for Hudson Valley Renegade. The track has that authentic boom bap feel to it that has become the trademark of Skeezo. You can find this track off of his most recent EP, Stuck In The 90’s.
Madchild is taking no days off when it comes to releasing new music. A few months after releasing Lawnmower Man, the Swollen Members emcee, releases a video single for his upcoming album, Super Beast, which is due out later this year.
One of my favorite duos is back at it and innovating. The first thing you will notice here is the awesome cover art. Very 70’s! The second thing you will bear witness to is the AWESOME production from Eddie Logix. The production is perfection with that killer sample in conjunction with those drums. But Passalacqua injects their own vision of perfection onto the track with clever lyricism and a chemistry that gets better and better with every release. They are incredibly versatile. I started this blog working with Mister and Blaksmith and that’s not changing any time soon.
This cut is part of a compilation CF HUSTLE: Portrait of A Gentleman and that will be dropping on March 24th. Stay Tuned!
