The Ugly Heroes give you that “every man music” with their video release of Hero’s Theme. You just listen to the lyrics and think…”Hey, these guys are talking about my life.” These artists are out here making the most of every moment. We should all take the lesson and maximize the day. You should start off by copping their self-titled album. Bang!
Single You Out: Stryfe – Home Town Hero (Ft. Rapper Big Pooh)
Stryfe and Marc Byrd’s album, The Last Resort drops in two weeks, meanwhile they unveil another single. Hometown Hero features veteran emcee Rapper Big Pooh. I have now personally heard two songs from this album, and both have been exceptional. I love the rock and funk beat Marc Byrd creates for the track. It creates just enough edge for the crafty lyricism.
Ill Bill – Acid Reflux (Video)
Ill Bill and Large Professor connect for this video single off of Bill’s most recent project, The Grimy Awards. I love how Large Professor links the Gravediggaz sample into the cut. That’s vintage material. The video itself is trippy, while Bill’s content keeps you next to the speaker so you can pick up on what he is going to say next. He’s always in tune with socio-political material so he can drop that knowledge.
Single You Out: Jus Daze – Comfort The Comforters
Jus Daze is cranking out the singles for his upcoming project, Walk Twice As Hard. He’s one of the most poignant rhyme writers at the moment. He brings ‘real people’ music to the forefront. The song brings to light many emotions and thoughts. He gets you thinking and that’s to be sure. I can’t wait to cop the album. The beat comes courtesy of Larry Legend.

Spit Gemz – Certain Delegates (Video) (prod. by ONE-TAKE)
Spit Gemz, native New Yorker and fire spitter, is back with another video from his FVCK THE RADIO project. The man is drinking fire water these days with the inferno he delivers with each cut. I strongly suggest you cop his discography. He’s one of the few people keeping that grimy music for elevated minds.
Single You Out: Rediculous – Chainsaw Chatter (feat. Aarophat)
Rediculous has been super busy as of late. He’s released two full length projects within a years time. He also released and instrumental project a week ago and now he unleashed a new single with Aarophat. I love the name of the cut and the content within. Rediculous is gong to have to reckoned with sooner or later fellas and ladies.
Freestyle Fam – Bar Fights (Video)
We showcased the single a couple of weeks back. The song is supreme. The video is dope and the wordplay is tremendous. I can’t wait to hear a full length project from Freestyle Fam. It’s going to be that kind of nice. I can feel it.
Lyriciss – Vent (prod. by Numonics) (Video)
This is the lead single from J57 & Numonics’s upcoming collaboration project, LI FTW, featuring Maryland hip-hop artist Lyriciss. If you are a fan of the art, pay attention to how Lyriciss rides this beat. His timing is impressive. He slows it down, speeds it back up, but always remains on time. That’s an emcee right there…
Single You Out: JMega The God (of True Masterz) – Presidentes Muertos
Dee Metto shot over this new single for his collaboration with JMega. You may remember JMega’s previous work with French producer, Junior Makhno. That whole album bangs. If this song is any indication of what his newest album, Niggaz Iz Kingz Forever, is going to sound like, we can count on that knocking just as hard.
Single You Out: S.O.N. – Soulful Street Remix (prod. by Keno Beats)
Producer Keno Beats from Orleans, France keeps breaking me off with the heat! This time he hits us with the “soulful” remix to the track of the same name off of Baltimore S.O.N.’s 2011 album, HisStory (The Autobiography Of Baltimore S.O.N.) And while it’s coming off of an older project, it still delivers that fresh sound!
