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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I typically don’t post videos like this unless it’s someone I know and they deliver a monstrous performance. Both of those apply to Of Mice An Musician’s Benjamin Miles. Benjamin Miles and team release Bottles & Bones earlier this year, and it’s been one of my favorite joints of 2012. Don’t Sleep!
This monthly artist’s spotlight features none other than Godilla! I am excited about this feature as I have been following this artist for quite some time. When he released his second album, Jaguar Paw, I didn’t know what to expect. But after listening to that project not so many years ago, I knew that he was about high lyrical content, boom bap beats, and an appreciation for the art of being an emcee.
So without further ado, I bring you our spotlight on Godilla! Make sure you check him out on Twitter and Facebook, and support his projects, both past and future.
