Single You Out: AWKWORD – Doh

 

AWKWORD shot this over to me while I was driving around town and finally had a chance to give it a listen.  It’s definitely impressive.   This is a little different than what I am used to from AWKWORD.   His flow is more laid back and deliberate on this joint and it plays very well over Clementino’s production which has a player piano type vibe going.  This really was not at all what I envisioned the song to sound like based upon the Homer Simpson artwork.   That is deceptive…haha.    This song will be dropping on Dope Music Blog Presents: The Cho$en Few

Peep the freshness…

Single You Out: KonSICKwence – Ars Poetica (prod. by Skip Sanders)

 

All I can say is wow…wow…one of the best debuts I have heard while running HHD.  This beat by Skip Sanders is amazing!  The guitar, the smooth jazzy tones, and the hip hop samples chopped up  just transport the listener and KonSICKwence isn’t just delivering random bars.  He has tightly woven wordplay.  This is a MUST SHARE track!

I walk the road less travelled until the world buries me / And I don’t give a fuck about how you’re comparing me

This is off of their album Utah.Jazz which I haven’t had a chance to listen to but will get on it shortly because this track made my week.

Dro Pesci & Infamous Haze – Broken Language 2K12 (ft. Ruste Juxx) (Video)

I don’t know why but this is always one beat I want to hear how people rock over.   Obviously no one is going to top the original but it’s always interesting to hear what kind of wordplay people are going to come up with .

This one features Ruste Juxx who has been doing all kinds of damage in 2012.   He has been relentless.  He is teamed up with Dro Pesci who’s project this song will appear on.  That project is entitled The Sitdown which has no said date.  I think the emcees certainly do this track some justice.

 

Single You Out: Doujah Raze – Left Out (prod. by Shuko)

 

I love the fact (or maybe I hate it) that people don’t know who Doujah Raze is.  This man has been around for a long while and just been on hiatus for a while.  He’s originally from the VA area and was putting out 12″ records when the indie scene was still developing and as I recall he was a part of that Rawkus 50.

But lets get current,  he’s got a new album dropping in a couple of weeks entitle The Eighth House. If this song proves a proper sampling for what the rest of the album is going to sound like, I think everyone should want to cop.   Shuko provides another stalwart production to add to his resume and Raze spits some illness in his gruff baritone.  Peep!

Virtuoso – Authentic (Video)

Big Virt back on his grind, this time doing work in Bogota, Colombia. The self ascribed “half rocket scientist, half caveman” is putting out a new album produced entirely by the Snowgoons. The album will be entitled, CoVirt Operations – Infantry.  This joint is produced by J-Beat and has big strings and big drums to go along with Virtuoso’s flow.
