Single You Out: AGE – The Combined Work Of A Trillion Cells To Work As A Single Body

artworks-000059512868-ql826d-t500x500

Yeah.  It’s a hell of a name for a singe, but it’s also one hell of a track.  It’s very different then what I have been hearing as of late.  The production is simplistic, in a good way, because the material and subject matter is sophisticated.  I am sure that it may be over the top for some people but I think it’s a pretty refreshing deviation from the norm without being too pretentious.  It’s actually really clever.  The emcee’s name is AGE.  The production is handled by Seraph.  The forthcoming mixtape is called Been Weird Since I Looked In The Mirror.  (I love it.)

Single You Out: Eddie B. – Nike Slogans (ft. Shabaam Sahdeeq & Chace Infinite)

artworks-000060277299-qy1pdh-t500x500

I just listened to the five track EP from Eddie B. and Harry Fraud, The Johnny Utah Story, and it’s incredibly tight.  The project is a prelude to their collaborative album dropping in November, Paper, Piff, and Polos.  If the album is just as strong as these cuts it could instantly be a contender for Album Of The Year and that’s not overstepping.  It’s that good.

Nike Slogans is one of those five tracks from the EP and features NYC veteran Shabaam Sahdeeq and west coast, Self Scientific emcee, Chace Infinte.  It’s simply brilliant.

Single You Out: Little Vic- All Work & No Play (prod by DJ Insite)

ALL WORK ARTcrop

Little Vic utilizes and adapts a  DJ Insite reference that was once to be further developed for a production for Nature (who has since chosen a different gem) . Vic concocted a couple of verses and what we have as a result is the collaborative effort, All Work & No Play.   We all know Vic’s prowess for dropping hot wittiness (yes,  I said that and don’t regret it one bit).  Enjoy how this track fell into place.

Rite Hook – Cursed Man (Video)

No one has ever accused Boston’s Rite Hook in being conventional, and this video and song is certainly not conventional.   This video reminds me of an 8MM that you weren’t supposed to find from a horror movie.  It’s dark, grainy, and just a little sinister.  Sinister also describes Rite Hook’s flow and lyrics on Cursed Man.  It’s just enough to make you feel a little uneasy.  Uneasy or not, Rite Hook is one of the more unique talents from the Bean and I love his ability to do his own hooks.  It’s one of the things that sets him apart from his contemporaries.  The production from Cursed Man comes courtesy of Rob Whitaker.   His new album, From The Wrong, drops on November 11th.

Note:

I saw AG Da Coroner make comments on Twitter a few weeks ago suggesting that some underground fans didn’t like Crushed Grapes because it wasn’t all just “hot bars”.   I couldn’t fathom it when I read it, so I feel obligated to set people straight.  This project is full of not only  top notch bars, but also production, guest shots, and content.  There’s really no other way to put  it.  I have never heard the Coroner make anything remotely soft or borderline and to suggest this project is less than stellar seems sacrilegious in the house of hip hop.

stefanoneder Producer's Spotlight

Producer’s Spotlight: Dee Metto (2013)

DeeBio

Dee Metto’s music and sound go hand in hand with what we are promoting here on HHD.   He creates banging beats that are rooted in that 1990s boom bap.  There’s no soft material coming from this man’s studio in Switzerland.  So it’s only natural that we feature the man’s work here and give this dope producer his due.   Check him on Twitter, Facebook, and his Website.

Single You Out: Reckonize Real – Beyond Recognition (ft. Reks and Mayhem)

391810e6991a29cc1a2e85c6fe82f995

Reckonize Real’s new album, Dopamine, is dropping  on October 29th and Beyond Recognition is another single from that project.  Reks and Mayhem (dude has been staying busy this year)  each throw an ill 16 but the beat on this track is what’s going to grab you.  In my mind the production sounds like a meld of hip hop and sounds from India.  Plus the cuts from  ToneDeff 2Cutz are precise and that adds the right finishing touch to the track.   This will stay in rotation for sure.
