Jus Daze dropped off the storm yesterday and in similar fashion to his previous video, Music Box, he is able to tackle a topic (albeit different) that we both hate and love at different points in our lives…relationships. You can also download the track HERE.
Single You Out: Swerve & SYG – Love, Loss, Interlude (prod. by D-Rock)
Swerve is one of my favorite ‘break thru’ artists of 2012. If I was to have a label, without a doubt Swerve would be one of my first signees. He has such a laid back flow but with a great conversational and personal delivery. This remarkable cut is coming off his forthcoming Cold Winters & Warm Whiskey 2. Can’t wait…
Nutso – C.I.A (Video)
Where does the drug trade spawn from? You got it…just look at the title. It’s more than just an acronym. Not too many people bring their bars any more real than Nutso. Check out his latest EP, Behind These Bars.
FinaL OutlaW – Blacklisted (Video)
FinaL OutlaW is equipped to deliver one hell of an album . The Unstoppable Love is slated to drop on February 19th. So mark that on your calendar. This is a flow you just have to love…relentless and poignant. You can download the track HERE.

Note:
Snake Hollywood’s first single sat in my inbox for a while gathering hard drive dust. I had never heard of him previously and I thought he was probably more of the same ol’ same but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Snake Hollywood truly delivers one of the most compelling releases of 2012 . Why is it compelling? Well, the first thing that makes it so is that the artist is putting himself into every verse of every track. He can be described as intense, There is no filler material. There is no fluff. It’s all vastly personal. The second thing that I love about this EP is how he incorporates religious elements into his lines. He does this in such a way that it mingles Biblical concepts with the street code.
Friday Feature: Peet Caliber – NEW JERZ GIANT PART DEUX (PROD. LUVJONEZ)
Keeping up with our Friday Feature series, we are bringing you yet more music from Peet Caliber, the super talented New Jerz emcee that definitely needs to get his due. You can’t tell me he isn’t nice with his! New Jerz Giant Part Deux is one of those ‘no hook, go for delf’ joints. Production comes courtesy, once again, from Luv Jonez. Give this man his props, he most definitely deserves them!
Single You Out: Megadon – Resurrection (ft. Tragedy Khadafi, Shabaam Sahdeeq and Black Smoke)
I am not sure who Megadon is but his team put together a dope video. He takes you back to the Land Of Kings on this one. It’s a dope track with a dope lineup that features Tragedy Khadafi and who else…none other than Shabaam Sahdeeq who has appeared on perhaps more tracks than anyone in 2012.
I am not sure where this joint might wind up so enjoy it while it’s fresh…
Reef the Lost Cauze – Massive Your High (Video)
It’s trippy…trippy. Who knew that Reef The Lost Cause was dropping a project this year? I sure did not. This joint is off the new record entitled Reef The Lost Cause Is Dead. The dope production comes courtesy of Caliph-NOW. Really nice work there. Can’t wait to hear more! New record dropping on Christmas, so while my kid is unwrapping Christmas gifts…I can be DLing dope music!
Single You Out: Illmaculate -The Underworld (Fear of God II) (ft. OnlyOne)
Alright my people, CHRON: Legacy is dropping on Monday, can you get down with that? After you hear this track you will be. Lawz Spoken brings you cascading darkness disguised in a beat while OnlyOne and Illmaculate trade “under world” verses from the river Styx. Oh was that a bit much? Too dramatic? Fuck you…this shit is ill.
N.B.S. – As I Sit Back (ft. Blacastan) (Video)
N.B.S. team up with long time collaborator Blacastan, and producer Stu Bangas for this joint. N.B.S. have been going at the microphone for years and continually bring heat. It’s about time they get their due. Their new album, The Dispensary, is filled with joint this good or better so I encourage you to pick this up.
