Mayhem from the EMS camp broke me off with this new track by Tribeca that he is featured on. Forever Rain is something that us regular folk can really find solace in. Sometimes we feel like circumstances and conditions are constantly against us, but we still persevere. The chorus by Lisa Denise is also a highlight here. Her voice relates to the hope that the emcees are referring to.
I enjoy the grimy shit and that’s exactly what Tek Bully and the Broken Home family is bringing to the table. The beat is provided by George Black. The album is dropping on Tuesday. So feel that.
This is compilation put together by a gentleman at www.no-buzz.net of the artist Swerve (kudos to you, sir). Now I am a big fan of Swerve myself so I think this worth sharing. He’s a really talented artist with whom the audience really connects. I hope that you all enjoy!

JustMe is going to close out this year on the right note. As I prepare my end of the year posts, I had to give this dope hip hop ponderance it’s due. Deacon the Villain is the one responsible for the subtle soundscape upon which JustMe narrates. Enjoy.
It’s a good day when I get some new tunes from my man, Benjamin Miles. It’s been a minute since we have heard from Miles but he offers us some break thru bars with his new cut, The Beat Goes On, offered in conjunction with producer, Eddie Logix.
Hopefully this song is part of a bigger project as the duo really works well together. The beat by Logix makes you drift away while the words from Miles gives you something to ponder on your journey.

I love it when two of my favorites join forces for a track. Alterbeats and Skeezo do damage with their track, Real Talk, off of the producer’s album, Class Struggle, which is out now. This track serves notice that real recognizes real and the more heads like this collaborate, the better off we all are as fans.
The Audible Doctor has been putting together a lot of visuals this year, and I don’t mind. Dirty Nigga is one of my favorite tracks off of The Audible Doctor’s, The Summer Tape. The chemistry with Chaundon is undeniable. I honestly would like to see an EP/Project between the two of them. They really compliment each other’s styles very well.
I took a look at this one on the strength of Tragedy tha Beast’s music this year. But in truth all of these emcees can spit over this banger produced by KA Beats. Elementz Emcee, Tragedy, and Dawreck all bloody up this track with some tough lines. I am not sure where this track was lifted off of or whether or not it’s part of a larger project, but enjoy.
This was sent to me via Twitter and usually some of the material sent to me via that network is pretty suspect. This, however, was not.
I believe this is some kind of video series from Grind Life Films. This time they have Krypol Haze jump on this smooth as hell beat from Haris The Terrorist. Haze has got some exceptional skills. He relays this one line regarding skinny jeans and Russel Westbrook’s closet that had me rolling.
If you like this track, check out Krypol Haze’s self-titled album released earlier this year…HERE.
Lets be honest….this cut sounds like it dropped in 1996! Straight Golden Era raps from Walt Sicknin’. That boom bap beat by the Llingo Apt should make heads feel so nostalgic for years of hip hop past and Walt Sicknin’ makes you remember how important raw rhymes and skills are. That’s often forgotten in today’s generation. I have no idea who this man is, but he has HHD’s undivided attention now.
