ethemadassassin just released his album, Soul On Fire, and H.T.G., is a biproduct of that release. What we have here is a knocking beat (produced by an unknown entity) and some heavy lines laid down by e’ and Sole-R. From the track’s intro the listener will recognize that this a joint you carry body bags to. I’m just sayin’….
Eff Yoo narrates the somber tale of what life looks(ed) through his eyes. Just a stark dose of reality for the people from his album. Bodega Businessman. The production is handled by Golden Child.
Vinnie Paz is back on his grind…wait did he ever stop? Nah. Paz has been incredibly consistent in putting out good work since 1999 when I was rocking the Amber Probe EP on a hiss-happy cassette. Now, God Bless features Paz at his very best. He’s got a really nice flow on this joint and producer Mikey Bingo has got the track hoppin’! Great beat.
This track can be found on Paz’s forthcoming EP, Carry On Tradition, dropping on October 29th.
Oh fuck. This is why I love hip hop. It’s cuts like these right here that makes heads nod and days brighter. When it comes to going for delf , Lyriciss and Pro’verb take it there. Simply one of the best cuts when it comes to emcees repping their spot. Coming out of PG county with that quotable wordplay. I especially feel the sports references that Pro’verb is laying down…from Len Bias to the ‘Skins there were no breaks in those 16 bars. Salute! This cut is coming off of Lyriciss’ upcoming album, The Balance. That album will be hitting you on October 29th so do yourself a service and check it.
I don’t think you could get two tougher flows on the mic if you tried. Big O and Blaq Poet come out locked and loaded on this 4th Assassin self-produced track (damn…Big O flexin’ production skills) that is destined to make an appearance on Big O’s highly anticipated album, Gravel Engagement. That’s not hype either…that’s honesty. The album drops on October 22nd. I’ll be waiting.
Shabaam Sahdeeq is back with a song from his forthcoming project, Keepers Of The Lost Art, which unfortunately has a release date into next year. This song should get people amped for the project, and rightfully so. Alterbeats gives the song a Dragnet appeal with the horns in the background and then lets the snares simply crack. General DV (DV Alias Khrist) also laces us with the gravelly hook, which gives me a moment of nostalgia. Shabaam Sahdeeq knows how to do the rest with his raw lines and crisp delivery.
The Bottom Line is the recently released bonus song from Serge Severe and 5th Sequence’s EP, Boom Bap & Bars Vol. 1. It really doesn’t get any smoother than this. It falls in line with the rest of the EP. Make sure you cop the project if you have not already.
The Milita and Rome Clientel team up again for the track, Bang Bang. Rome had been kind of quiet in 2013, but he’s back delivering that official boom bap that’s come to be associated with his name. He has a new project, The Empire 3: The Coronation, dropping soon. You can download this single HERE if you choose.
I love the way DJ Fortune flipped that Dexter theme song. That’s some good work that instantly grabs the listener’s attention. Another thing that grabs me instantly is Hasan Salaam’s verse. His voice just holds you at attention so you listen carefully to each word. I have always been a fan of his work. This is all together a nice track that can be found off of Apex Zero’s next album. Reality Provoking Liberation, which debuts on October 28th.
This video and song are a little trippy but there’s something very addicting and appealing about it. It’s just not something you hear every day. And that dude, D.R.U.G.S. Beats is on a roll right now! I count three albums to date that he has completely produced in 2013. That’s what you call staying busy! Father Jah has a very unique style and this is just a sampling of his new album, Manuscripture of the Father as Inspired by D.R.U.G.S. (Dope Real Under Ground Sh*t)
