Some hard rhymes from Josiah The Gift over a beat from Sassoon. This is song serves as my intro to this artist and as such I am impressed. Definitely the type of music I embrace. The rhymes and the beat play well against each other. The rhyme style is aggressive and the beat is really somber. It comes together nicely.
My man, Dharmic X sent this track to me on the premises that I might like it. He was right. I love the melodic beat on this track. It’s almost hypnotic. Damn. Something great to vibe to. Not to many people can make this type of music, this extraordinary.
This track is almost 9 months old but I couldn’t hold that against posting it as a single now. Rob Yung is part of a four man collective known as The Soulstice. Another member, Ross Munroe put the production together. You can check their album HERE.
This video is coming off of D Strong and Dave Sparkz recent project, Unfold which is incredibly dope. D Strong comes with rhymes reflecting social inequity. Cop the album if you haven’t already. Worth every penny.
All hip hop right here! Superlative rhymes from Famoso and company (expected). J57 on the remix (bonus). DJ Modesty on the cuts (over the top type hip hop). All around great music.
This track is coming off of Famoso’s upcoming mix tape/teaser Before Tha’ Dope Comes. That’s going to be a rarities, b-sides, and freestyles compilation. Check for that if you like this track so we can all catch up on what Famoso has been up to.
More music from Awkword’s World View project. This time he leaves the guest work out of it and drops every bar himself. The production from ATG is a combination of hip hop and old west saloon music, but when DJ Dyllemma chops it up you get a complete hip hop vibe.
“Real recognize real and it’s all fam in here…”
This song made me want to leave my wife and son at home and go his the block (no, I did stay at home). But it did set off that vibe. Great cut from a great album. Everything is on point with this cut.
Iron Lyon’s album, From The Ground Up, is better than just being solid. It’s a great listen. I really hope to get a review out for this one because it’s owed the time and energy.
Drop this album, already! C’mon SKREWTAPE! I have enjoyed single after single off of Skumbag Millionaire and I am ready to hear the full length. This is just another banger, this time laced by none other than Mr. Green. This time Tame One and Nems FYL help keep the party moving by making heads roll. Good play off verses on this one…
F.T. made his mark in hip hop many years ago with his verse on the collabo, Metal Thangz. His rough flow and grimy lyrics make him stand out in an otherwise crowded NY scene. And what does he do? He goes out and makes an anthem! At least, that’s what this sounds like to me. You know you will bumping this joint in the ride no matter where you hail from.
A tribute to Carlos Santana you say? Yeah. I can get behind that. OBX reps the great state of Texas and is one of the fresher artists coming from the Lonestar. This time he enlists some support on the mic device from Detroit’s own, Guilty Simpson. It’s a hip hop twist on some classic material. Be on the lookout!
