Sheisty Khrist paying some homage on this cut! We need a few artisans to get to work on these ‘statues’. You can listen to this cut anytime you want by purchasing the OMG album.
Zion-I – Human Being (Video)
Zion I has such a unique flavor all unto themselves. It’s funky, electronic, and head nodding. This song is off of their latest album, ShadowBoxing. I am about ready to listen to the whole thing right now, so…. ‘Bounce!’
Single You Out: P.SO – So Enormous
You know when people (meaning bloggers) say “It’s been forever since I’ve heard from…” and it really was just three months ago since they posted some of their material? Well, the overused phraseology fits here. P.SO hasn’t dropped some NEW material in a while and this sound is encouraging. The production from The Other Guys is stellar as is the chopping from DJ GETLIVE!. P.SO has an album in the works entitled, The Gateway to Greatness. Check for that!

Single You Out: Skeezo – Bad Guy Pt 2 (ft. Shabaam Sahdeeq x Kaymerda x Ruste Juxx)
Skeezo releases this Alterbeats produced joint to bang in your system. Joining him behind the mic, along with Kaymerda, are two of the busiest emcees this year…Shabaam Sahdeeq and Ruste Juxx. Those two guys have been cranking out hits in abundance this year.
In the end, this joint is a banger…so stay on the ready for new material from Skeezo.
Single You Out: Serge Severe -Treat H.E.R. Right
Another song from Serge Severe and producer, Zapata. This joint is not on their effort, Silver Novelist. If you dug that project I am 100% sure you will enjoy this track. This actually might be my favorite production from Zapata. I love the sample, the laid back vibe, and the touch of soul in between.
SuCoo – W.A.T.E.R. (Video)
I love the message and energy that SuCoo brings to this song. The intro to the video lulls you into the presumptions that this is just going to be a documentary then SuCoo hits you with a rapid fire delivery of socially charged lyricism. I love this kind of hip hop.
KemiKAL – Built For This (Video)
It is easy to get slept on but KemiKAL turned my ear his way with this nice flow and delivery. I received 30 emails today and this was one of the few good ones. Tough to stand out…but not impossible. I hope to hear more from this artist.
Single You Out: RP – Tragedy Text
Man this song hit home the first time I heard it. I emailed, RP immediately and asked him if I could share this as a single. Well, this song became more poignant to me as I almost loss my wife to a heart attack yesterday. Different situation than the song, but the chorus still hits home when you are looking at a loss.
This song is what hip hop, and music in general is all about,…it gets you feeling something. Really dope writing skills on this one. It’s coming off of RP’s debut album, The Crackpot Diaries which I will be reviewing soon.
