I am glad I caught this video from Pawz One. Breeze supplies a nice beat and Pawz One has rhymes in abundance. He challenges people to open their eyes and not just buy what the matrix (the government and the media) is selling you.
This is coming off if his album, slated to drop in the next few days I imagine, which is also called, Face The Facts. So be on standby for that…
As Benefit readies his next “timing” project, Timing Of A Godfather, he unleashed Killa Kannibals. A cut in which heavy hitters, PH and Famoso join him on the mic. It’s got all of those head-nodding qualities that you are all always craving. In particular check that third verse from Famoso. He incorporates some Trayvon Martin and Magna Carta / Holy Grail references that definitely capture your attention.
Twisted Irish back in the building! This cut is off of the 2012 album, HEATHEN SEASON. There are many bangers on that project, of which this is one. Born Unique teaming up with Wais P hit the water with some dope rhymes in tow, rocking over some Pete Twist production.
I first want to give out a shout out to another blog, TheHipHopHead for connecting people (including myself) to dope banging hip hop. That blog really is my favorite and one that closely resembles the taste you will find on HHD.
It’s obvious that the blog has built a repertoire with Red Eye and DJ Qvali and that’s a good thing. Red Eye constantly creates bangers. You can check his album review I did a while back for St. Fatrick’s Day to get a sample of my thoughts.
This track just builds off of the dope formula found on that release. Crackin’ beats from DJ Qvali and unfiltered tough lyrics from Red Eye.
Ok. I got confused. When I saw the name, Sleep, I automatically thought of the emcee from Oldominion who has rocked that monniker for a while.
I could have easily have turned this video when I found out this wasn’t him. I am glad I didn’t. This Sleep has not a real nice flow and he ain’t playing nice with that mic device. He is coming to take heads.
With that being said…I don’t know anything else about this man, but this track is going to make me dig a little deeper. The dope production is handled by Dope Antelope. (Yes. You heard that correctly.)
Update: Sleep has this album out from February of this year entitled, Lockland 95. What I have heard has been dope.
The Soulslicers released Slice Of Life about a month ago which might have had something to do with the release of this video. WTF Happened is featured on that mixtape, as well as being featured on the 2012 release from King Magnetic, Everything’s A Gamble Vol. 3.
Magnetic is one of the most consistent artists out right now. He’s got three albums and a slew of mixtapes under his belt and they all knock.
Definitely check the aforementioned projects when you get a chance.
I love Austin. Even in this God forsaken heat, I love my city. I also love the production from Swiss producer Dee Metto. So when Austin affiliates, Mirage512 and Side Effect teamed up with Dee Metto for this remix, it was a no brainer to post.
I am digging the staccato flute sample over these hitting drums from Nick The Quick. It’s a nice touch. I’ve always felt Phene’s flow and felt that once people heard his offering, they would be hooked. It sounds like he’s making moves, and that’s just plain good for hip hop.
He’s got a new project, Revelation 717, that has no release as of yet but should be coming soon.
Rozewood and Mr. Enok team up to form the Ante Meridian. They have a project launching this month. The 25th to be exact, entitled Sons Of Heaven. I think it goes without saying after you hear this track that you know the whole album will be fire.
I have heard a couple of joints and it has all been flawless. I mean 5 out of 5 type ish. These guys are just catching bodies with these vibes, they are burying you in their backyard! Pure fire.
Oh. This is my favorite track yet from my forsaken email! A Marco Polo burner to be laced with the contrasting voices of MidaZ and Roc Marciano. MidaZ has that energetic delivery while Marciano compliments with his vintage savage slang. A dope joint to be sure!
This joint is coming off of MidaZ’s AU: Another Universe LP which is slated to drop on August 20th.
