Ill Bill reminiscences, and waxes poetic about the death, the afterlife, and the ones he loves. When someone like Ill Bill does a song like this, I think the emotion really connects the music to the listener. He normally drops tough verses but every once a while he puts out a song that leaves himself wide open. Dope material.
This song will be coming off of Bill’s next effort…The Grimy Awards.
Everyone should have a friend like Dharmic X…dude is constantly putting me onto dope hip hop. This time he hits me off with this Swedish crew, Side Effectz. This song has a ’93 Til Infinity’ vibe to it. It’s very mellow and the emcees can flip it nicely.
Alot of good music coming from Sweden so don’t y’all be sleeping. This will be off the trio’s upcoming album, Wunderbaum Music.
Raiza Biza gives you both food for thought and music to vibe to with his latest cut, Two Realms. The production is almost a dreamscape. I have listened to a few cuts from this artist and every time I hear a song, it just transports me. If your day is bending the wrong way…a cut like this can straighten you out.
This will be off of the extended version of his latest album, Dream Something. You can download the OG version free of charge now.
There is a lot of irony to be had by me posting this cut on Thanksgiving. As Rav. P and Swerve ready there Weed & Wine EP. A lot off ebbs and flows of emotion put into this one, but in the end, just when you think you are going to give up, you think of a reason to move on. And that’s what I feel this song is about…progression in the face of adversity.
New dope that was dropped off by the EMS camp. This track arrives off of DJ Doo Wop’s new release ‘Underground: Coast To Coast’ (Hosted by Source Magazine). This cut is hard as f*&k…certified concrete!
Norman BA$E goes a little ‘Psycho’ on this track. Good to hear some new music with his baritone bravado. I believe big things are afoot for the emcee.
Soul Khan keeping it consistent by releasing this bonus track from the upcoming Psalm EP coming out December 11th on http://soulkhan.com. The track was originally slated to be on Wellstone but didn’t make it on that EP. This new project is going to be produced entirely by Abnormal. So be on the lookout for that. Meanwhile, this track continues to display the chemistry between Soul Khan and Akie Bermiss who consistently put out great songs.
The Mastermind’s videofy (my own word) yet another track from their recent re-emergence, Giant Antlers. This video is probably the cream of the crop. I really like the concept to go along with the song. Highly inventive. I wish my copier at work did something this interesting.
One of the best tracks from Rome Clientel’s latest EP, My Inner War, gets the well deserved video treatment. Kount Fif created this stark beat which goes hand in hand with Clientel’s lyricism.
If you haven’t checked my review of The Empire 2: The Battlegrounds please do so. If you favor that NYC rawness this will be for you.
This track has been out for 14 days? Damn. Where was I at? I just recently got the Creative Juices Music Newsletter and this track was front and center. Strange Tongue is comprised of cRITICAL and Mygrane McNastee and this is the first single from their upcoming album, Mutant Dialect. Boogieman Anthem is for all those who fear what goes bump in the night. Super-Producer, Junior Makhno uses low octave piano chords and a haunting organ providing the canvas for the emcees to make the skin crawl. Peep…
