Tragic Allies and Tragedy Khadafi connect and form 7 G.E.M.S. They have an album dropping, Golden Era Music Sciences, next Tuesday. It’s slightly reminiscent of Black Market Militia in it’s sound and that’s not a bad thing. The lyricism is on the “street esoteric” nature backed with big beats.
Here’s another secret locked in the inbox for way too long. I have been familiar with Dragon Fli Empire for the past four or five years. They are known for that laid back and jazzy vibe hip hop. And everyone know Sadat X (if you don’t, get up and leave your computer now, I need a moment).
In short, this is a dope joint. The production has the horns buzzing and the emcees all capture the moment for a really chill joint.
This is the first single to the Empire’s forthcoming album, Mission Statement.
Cleaning out my inbox I came across this joint from Case Arnold. I originally thought this was another freestyle over a 9th Wonder beat but I was wrong. (But hey can you blame a guy? That kinda of stuff goes on all the time). Case Arnold has a smooth flow and we all know the work that 9th Wonder is capable of.
Apparently this cut is off of Arnold’s latest project, The Myndstate.
Oh, you’re not a fan of Focus…? GTFOH. Focus… is one of the few artists out there that is an incredible producer and talented emcee and can do so simultaneously. I can’t think of ten other guys on his level right now. This beat and his insightful lyricism made me shed a tear of happiness. This is a single off the forthcoming, FP : 1172 II (which I have no information about.
Remember…sound without Focus…is just noise.
Ugly Heroes is comprised of emcees Red Pill and Verbal Kent, along with unparalleled production of one, Apollo Brown. This song is first single from their forthcoming self-titled album dropping on, May 28th.
This song chastises those who worship the almighty dollar and wreaks havoc on ear drums along the way. I am sure you will enjoy this thoroughly.
Illogic & Blockhead drop a video single from their most recent endeavor, Capture the Sun. The song itself showcases the talent of both producer and emcee. Up until about half way through the cut, it’s merely Blockhead’s instrumental. But just over the midway point Illogic drops his eloquent observations giving us the best of both worlds.
“…show me the prideful, and I’ll show you an unmarked grave…“
I had forgotten for a moment that Vorheez new album would be dropping this year and while the Fall seems like it is a long way along, it’s cut like these that will tide us over. This track will actually be featured on The Grim Reaperz EP (dropping May 10th, vinyl only). The beat is hot and the rhyme exchanges are fresh.
I love the artwork on here. The whole “bizarro world” Sesame Street is perfect for the banger the Heddshotts crew have laced for us. These guys define gutter. The droning horns and pounding drums compliment the scathing flows appropriately, wouldn’t you say?
Alright, Deadstock Revival has a release date! It’s dropping on June 4th which is just under a month away. I can’t wait for that. We have heard one strong cut after another and this is no exception. Be on the lookout for Shaz Illyork…
Some visual treatment given to this track off of Sgt. Over’s Precious Jewels album. It’s hard to compete with a flow like this. The breath control on this track is really impressive along with the overall lyricism. If you enjoy this cut, make sure you check out his album.. Meanwhile, we will keep repping DPSMG until you do!
