MaLLy is a favorite of mine. I find his sound very refreshing. Perhaps this is even more refreshing as Last Word handles the production. The vibe is a dark electronica that runs deep in sound. A lot of layers going on here, but as a whole it allows MaLLy to showcase his turn of phrase and exceptional rhyme skills. Strange Rhythm will hit the digital shelf on November 5th.
Quadir Lateef lets loose a video off of his critically acclaimed project, Fool’s Gold. The track of the title is lengthy and the words within inspire the potency of all those great revolutionaries mentioned. It’s not too often that someone brings this much meaning and intent behind his words, but get used to it because that’s what Lateef is all about…meaning, intent, and action.
This is one of those spur of the moment things that just felt right. Printz of Peepz has been an active entity on my twitter line for the last month or two. I simply thought he was a fellow blogger or a fan, but a couple of nights ago he put me onto a track that he created with fellow VA brethren, Crafsmen, called Lullaby. I was impressed. It made me seek out some other tunes from the man, and I liked what I heard. He’s a young, talented artist who is trying to get his name and music heard and what better place to do that then on our long neglected Friday Feature column?
So for the next few Fridays you can expect to hear some music from P.o.P. starting with that track, Lullaby. Be sure to check him out on Twitter and Facebook and politic with a talented artist.
Just close your eyes and let Tranzformer’s piano keys and Lollybone’s soulful song just carry you away! Oh wait a minute, let’s not forget Koncept’s bars, because he’s got bars. This song is like 1920s flapper meets 1990s boom-bap. A really nice break from the monotony by offering us a different sound entirely. Koncept’s Live On EP, produced by Numonics, drops on October 22nd.

Note:
It’s amazing what you can do with a mere five tracks. Theo3 was an unknown emcee to me prior to three months ago. Now, with just the work of those five tracks, his music and sound is ingrained in my mind. That’s what we shall call a deep impact.
Here’s another track I have missed by the DPSMG. This single is coming off of SGT. Over’s Precious Jewels release and features the usual suspect Just Putt and hip HOFer, Sadat X. Just more good music for the people!
This video gives me the creeps. For those of you not up on your theology, Legion is a demon that is actually mentioned in the Bible that actually is confronted by Jesus and cast out. The imagery in this piece is disturbingly intriguing. I premiered Sleep many months ago with his song Leonidas. I thought he was not only dope but also unique. This cut only strengthens the argument as he is speaking as the voice of the Satan. The production comes from Dope Antelope.
It’s been a least a couple of months since we have heard from Peet Caliber but he quickly reminds us how he dope he is over is this monstrous production. This song is nothing less than dope.
It’s a shame how the good die young and the scum extend their stay…
Wyld Bunch drops his new video for, I Do Not Fail, which features Hannibal Stax. Wyld Bunch has a high energy persona when he rocks the mic and that really shines through on a track like this while Hannibal Stax provides good counter balance. mOh and you liked the beat too? Doesn’t surprise me. That’s DJ Brans! If you like this joint, check out his album, UNBREAKABLE.
When it comes to being innovative and creative nobody does it like Mayday!. They create good music that appeals to all tastes. There sound visits aboveground, underground, and all layers in between. This video and song really captures that vibe. Make sure you check their album, Believers which has a multitude of five star cuts on it,
