I am already a fan of CuzOH Black and I was intrigued by a producer that goes by the name of Antagonist Dragonspit. I mean that’s a name you won’t see duplicated. Or maybe you will after you hear this beat! Both the beat and the emcee sound like they are telling you a secret…very hushed and muted but infectious nonetheless. Really impressive material about two men just being about their business.
I am going to keep pushing the homie Skeezo until you all take notice. He’s bringing you a project called Face Value like a brick to the face. This track is my favorite thus far but it’s also the toughest. The piano keys and bass line take you right to the street corner and give you a front row seat.
The album is out now on his bandcamp…check it now if you like this cut!
We featured Kon Boogie’s single a long while ago and now he drops the video featuring what appears to be a good time and the homie Silent Knight. Dope song. I can’t wait for the album to drop. My Glorious Imperfection dropping…not soon enough.
First off, Has-Lo out did himself with this production. What a gem! The resonating guitar is different and absolutely perfect. Zilla Rocca and Roc Marciano absolutely wreck shop with their verses over this piece. They take aim at the hot heads on the corner of the block and how the city will eat it’s young.
I have always been a fan of Zilla Rocca and given a silent nod to Marciano’s work. But this is next level right here. Roc Marciano sounds as though this beat was custom made for him.
This is the first single off of No Vacation For Murder.

Note:
Here’s another project that I have been holding on to for a while that deserves some recognition for being a really ill release. Often times projects that drop around the holidays get lost in the shuffle and that’s really the case here. I heard about it, listened to it, and meant to post something months ago but just fell short.

Scribes is like the Pied Piper of hip hop…once you start listening you can’t stop and just let the mind drift. He just makes great songs with great harmony and tone. It’s a different feel and vibe to other music that is being made these days. Listening to Scribes always reminds me that I am not thuggish enough to strictly listen to street bangers. Good music will be just fine.
New material from the Heddshotts militia. They have a mixtape dropping entitles, Hip Hop Anonymous, so you will want to check for that. These guys are all about that grimy, in-your-face, hip hop flavor, so let your head hit the concrete and listen to the streets!
Dope cut. The fact that DJ Illanoiz dipped back into the 1980s and used this Real Live sample from Send Me An Angel put a smile on my face. I never thought that would be used for a hip hop song.
Hallelujah will not be found on YC The Cynic’s new project but is indicative of his latest sound.
This remix of Dirt Platoon’s Second Brokest by DJ Brans is off of the France’s Finest NY Minute Remix project that is dropping in online stores this Tuesday. There are going to be a lot of big names on this project and A LOT of talent from some French producers. I am excited about this album from the standpoint it is going to showcase the wears of a lot of talented beatsmiths from across the Atlantic that you otherwise may not hear.
I had some time to kill before my site relaunch to listen this artist, KADDIE LAK. And while I am not fond of his monniker, I am fond of the music. He has a gruff and raspy flow that is easy to get into. He has a mixtape dropping entitled, CAC: The Re Up and I am going to check on the consistency of his work. If it’s on point like this, I can grow to like the name. This song, by the way, is dedicated to the “fake friends & unloyal bitches”. I have had my fair share of that lately.
