This music business is serious and these are some serious individuals on this track! This is some of that ‘gottdamn’ type music because you will be saying that a lot during the four minutes this track runs. Typ iLL, Peter Leo, and Little Vic showcase over this Velotz beat. This track has head nodder written all over it. (Oh and Vic’s verse if proof in point that he is one of the nicest in the game. Go ahead and tell me different!) Be warned…
Jus Daze makes it easy to feature him on Fridays because he is always putting out good, quality hip hop. This time he goes all Shawshank Redemption over the rhythm. This joint is dark, yet hypnotic. The beat is perfect. It captivates you while Daze drives home point after point. I also like the fact that he changes his cadence and speaks in hush tones in parts. It gives you the feel that he’s just holding a discussion with you. Dopest track I have heard this first couple of weeks in 2013…
This track is the lead single for his forthcoming album, Walk Twice As Hard.
Curly Castro always struck me as the clairvoyant one of the team. Haha. In all seriousness, it’s a captivating video from Rocca, Castro, and Has-Lo to go along with a dope song from an even doper conceptual project, Wu-Tang Pulp.
This yet another one of the dope track from Artist Of The Year, Ruste Juxx and his producer The Arcitype. This is off of their album, V.I.C.
Skeezo is back with a new video for his track Under Pressure. This track has that purists hip hop vibe that I know you can rock out to.
This is the solo version of a track that originally featured multiple artists on DJ K.O.’s EMPBeTheTeam. This version is headed for Silent Knight’s Busy Is My Best Friend II. This track has all the soul in the world and add Silent Knight’s conviction, you can count this one as a winner.
Is CuzOH! Black jaded, cynical, or just a realist? Well, regardless, he is a very dope and highly overlooked emcee in my mind. This song is tough, as is the rest of his FREE EP. You should DL Everybody’s Favorite Cousin now!
Lee Bannon laces Reks with a dark, haunting, and plodding beat. Reks uses the opportunity to air out his grievances with those snakes in the grass. Those who are prone to associate with you only to stab you in the back.
This track is the first single from Rek’s upcoming mixtape, Revolution Cocktail, which will be made available on January 22nd.
I finally got a chance to listen to 7evenThirty’s album, Heaven’s Computer. Every track I had heard previous sounded really good and I was not disappointed with the rest of the album. For the remix treatment, Lee Bannon redresses the track. Make sure you check the album if you like what you hear!
