Sgt. Over drops a video for High On Life, which can be found on his most recent album, Precious Jewels. This time the emcee drops that certified smooth ish. We all need to smooth it out from time to time. Cop the album…
EMS x Soulslicers – Past Doubt (Video)
The EMS team and the Swiss producers, Soulslicers, create a visual for, Past Doubt, which is coming off the new street album, Slice Of Life. The album is available for free at DJ Booth. I have listened to it and I can give you the green light to go get it (like you were waiting for that anyway). This particular track is one of the smoothest cuts off of the album.
Single You Out: Mr. Morbid & Melph – Lifestyles of the Living Dead (Feat. Ill Proceeja)
Mr. Morbid & Melph were featured on HHD for the first time a couple of months ago. I really felt that dark and ominous song that they were bringing to the table. Now they seem intent with the release of this single to build a mounting buzz for their upcoming album, Close To The End.
Single You Out: Undefined – Swinging Pendulums (ft. Nutso, Sycksyllables & Famoso)
The second single from Undefined’s new project, Certified A-Side, features HHD staples, Nutso and Famoso along side Sycksyllables. The track has a low key rock vibe to it. It also features some nice sampling. It’s definitely dope when you combine the subtlety of the music with the heavy handedness of the emcees.
Single You Out: V-Zilla – Blind Man
V-Zilla is not done by a long shot. Six months ago he dropped a highly ill EP and now he comes with this Lamar Mitchell produced single which is just bonkers. The song has got a grip ton of soulful energy inside of it. The production’s guitar and voice samples really meld well with Zilla’s introspective lyricism. How could you not like this joint?

Artist Spotlight: Goldini Bagwell (2013)
HHD is really proud to bring you this artist spotlight from Goldini Bagwell. I have been following his work since the early inception of the Sandpeople. His superlative skill, creative knack, and unique wordplay made him an easy choice for this month’s selection. His recent release, Secondhand Smoke, produced by Pmpee just dropped and was reviewed here a few weeks ago made the timing even more perfect. It’s a great read, so without boring you to death with my introduction…
Vers’tyle – The Round Up (Interlude) Produced by ANS (Video)
Ok. This was all about the right timing here. Vers’tyle sent me this submission just as I was putting some posts together and doing some listening. I thought I would give it a chance. Ummm…he meets all the criteria and more for music that we post on HHD. He’s got the voice and the flow that capture the moment. If the idea of this video was draw the audience in, I think he more than accomplished his purpose. I want to hear more because he killed this “interlude”. There’s not too many new (new to me) artists that impress this much. I am going to be on the lookout for The Rogue EP very soon.
Ugly Heroes ( Apollo Brown x Verbal Kent x Red Pill) – Hero’s Theme (Video)
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.
