Nutso, Shabaam Sahdeeq, and Royal Flush link up to drop a gem on em’. Nutso and Sahdeeq have been wrecking shop this year. They both have been putting in major work in 2012 with tons of guest spots and projects. All of them very dope. This joint arrives from Nutso’s most recent project, Behind These Bars which has loads of dope rhymes and tight rhymes. This video is also quite original with the emcees being features in all of your favorite magazines as they take things to the next level. Make sure you support artists like these…they make this hip hop shit go around!
Single You Out: Ruste Juxx & The Arcitype – That La La La (ft. Craig G & General Steele)
Damn. Computer just ate my post! Oh well. What I was saying…I am currently not one to partake in the ‘La-La-La’ but if I was to do so, this would be the song that I would bump while I was at it. The Arcitype really showing some versatility with delivering his first smoothed out production from the V.I.C. album that will be dropping on September 25th as a collaborative effort with Ruste Juxx. And speaking of versatility, Ruste Juxx shows that he can deliver the goods on a more mellow offering. Really looking forward to the album!
Brown Bag AllStars – Say It Now (ft. Akie Bermiss)
Brown baggin’ it this Friday. This video for Say It Now dropped a few days ago and it’s definitely worth sharing as is pretty much anything the team drops. This is my favorite track from the Brown Label Part 2. J57 on the boards!

Note:
It’s time that I bring you something different in a not so subtle way. The combination of producer/emcee, Tokyo Cigar, and emcee, Cyclops, constitute the group The Plexiglass Fountain. On the promo for the album, Cigar is described as eccentric. I am not sure about that but how about the the term nouveau? Or maybe cutting edge, or nontraditional? I think all of those adjectives fit our combination emcee/beatsmith. Cyclops is described as poetic, and I think that shoe fits without exception.

Friday Feature: illMEASURED x ill Conscious – The Essence
I was specifically saving this track for this feature. This was originally released about a month ago as, ill Conscious’ title track from his forthcoming album that goes by the same name. This is also the perfect illustration for why I am featuring illMEASURED in the first place. His places samples are in succinct timing for this uptempo banger. I also really enjoy how the production is very vibrant. There is something very alive with this track that is certainly accentuated by ill Conscious’ dope flow and lyrical content. He is a really talented emcee. Great debut for him as well as being the perfect continuation of our September feature for illMEASURED. This is indeed the essence of hip hop…
Viktor AX & GQ Nothin Pretty – Childhood Change (ft. Block McCloud) (Video)
This is a cut coming off of Victor AX’s forthcoming project, The Lab. GQ Nothin Pretty brings some heartfelt lyrics with a dope delivery fir this track. When you add Block McCloud to your hook, it gets no better.
Single You Out: Quite Nyce & Ill Poetic – Over (ft. Punchline x Wordsworth)
I don’t see ho anyone can think a track that features Quite Nyce, Punchline, Wordworth, and Ill Poetic could even remotely be considered as being average. These guys all put a beating on the microphone. Apparently there is an EP in the works that will be sponsored by DJ Booth. Good looks…

PASSALACQUA – Been A Minute (Video)
No matter the day I am having, a little music from Passalacqua makes everything alright. I’ve been running this blog for a while and Passalacqua was one of the first groups to make and impact on HHD. Their sound and brand of music is unlike any other. I haven’t come across anything close. This joint alone had me searching for a red cup…
BROKE SAFETY – I’M ILL feat GEORGE BURNZ (Video)
This is a dope video! It goes to show you that you can put together a dope video with being creative with your lighting and different backdrops. It’s a little crazy, but I like it. The use of the Red Cafe sample with this beat is really on point. If you want to DL the mix tape for free, please do so.
