The Legend Of The Gnome Sword needs to drop already! This is the third single we have featured and it too is very dope. It features one of the dopest artists out right now, Shaz Illyork. The production is low key but demonstrative enough so that the emcees all spit some heavy bars.
This is just the New York gritty we all need…
I still bump the last The Red Giants’ album, Chain Reaction. And this song proves to be a continuation of their past work. Jermiside is an extremely talented emcee with a quick delivery and concise wordplay that is always enjoyable. Brickbeats really shows out on the production though. He provides a bluesy hip hop vibe and switches up the beat periodically to keep the listener attentive.
The duo’s next project Supercharged will hopefully be hear soon…
You need some music to get you over the hump this week? I got ya. Here’s an anthem that will get the blood pumping. The beat and the emcees go high energy. Centric and Trife have a winner right here. It’s not too complex, but it doesn’t need to be when you have a head nodding beat and some charisma on the mic device. Dope…
I fell asleep at the wheel when his project, 14 Karat Canvas dropped a couple of months, and didn’t realize what I was missing out on until he dropped this video. Tristate drives a hard bargain with this flow and with OhNo on the boards you can clearly not go wrong.
I peeped the EP and it’s all very solid. Make sure you check it!
Man, when Ras Kass is on his A-Game, none can test. His bars are razor sharp on this track giving credence to the claim that his new project, P.U.M.A. may be some of his best work to date. I have always been a fan. He’s a Top 5 emcee as far as I am concerned .
Aside from his bars, this beat is blazing hot and the concept for the video is on point. I like the role reversal and the play on Menace II Society. Certainly one of the best videos I have scene this year.
Here’s some dope Film Noir from the Half Past Never Band. They are a live band from Helsinki, Finland who are capable of creating incredible soundscapes. Indulge yourself in the story line and good music.
Today is when Stu Bangas and Vanderslice release their collaborative album, Diggaz With Attitude to the world. If you like banging beats and a slew of dope rhymes, you will be all over this project. If you need convincing or are on the fence, please check the accompanying videos.
Casino Royale is on that James Bond level with Blacastan and Apathy rocking tuxedos and dropping bars, while 1st Degree Murder lends itself to a deluge of violence while Vinnie Paz, Roc Marciano, and Celph Titled all contribute verses.
This cut can be found on Crew54’s lates project, which dropped today, BRB…. It’s a great song. Again, some artists just get good music and apparently Crew54 is going to fall into that category. The production is really strong. The voice in the background gives this story line a very surreal vibe when paired with the visuals. Just flows really well. Peep the project when you have the time.
Local-Mu12 rep is back at it again with his single, Faded, off of his forthcoming album, The Crackpot Diaries. The song has a lot of kick (literally) with RP riding the rhythm of electronica and percussion. It’s a nice blend of boom-bap flavor and some edgier sounds. Peep.
