New joint from The Masterminds off of their first album in ten years entitled, Giant Antlers. The Masterminds put together some great albums in the last decade, notably Stone Soup and The Underground Railroad. Damn, it’s hard to believe it’s been that long. Anyway, it’s great to see them back.
The NSD team releases the first single for McNastee’s Pity Party Rockers which is now slated to be released on October 2nd. McNastee serves as the team’s crooner/lyricist and really promotes a different sound than the rest of the camp, or maybe it’s the sounds I associate most with NSD. Whatever the case, it’s a dope cut with production from the venerable DJ Bless.
Another jam from Juan Deuce’s No Sweat mixtape produced by Falside. Video crafted from thoughts of thieves jacking penguins, wheel chairs, and handguns. Be sure to check the mixtape!
Sparkingtin brings you the next video release from his most recent effort, Keep It Cloudy. Sparkingtin is an artist that HHD was built to promote. He’s got gritty lyricism, rawness, and a hunger about him.
Make sure you check out the mixtape. It’s a free download.
This single is lifted from Mayhem’s latest project, MayJerzachusetts Island. I love the staccato horn on this track’s production as well as the well thought lyricism from the emcees. B.A.M.’s verse really knocks heads! The cuts from DJ LP2 are also a welcome addition. Good cutz can never be overstated.
New music from Vinnie Paz’s upcoming album, God Of The Serengeti, which is due out October 22nd. This reunites Vinnie Paz with Tragedy Khadafi who has appeared on previous Jedi Mind Tricks records. Beatnick Dee is on the boards providing the rough and rugged atmosphere that we continue to expect from the Pazmanian Devil.
This time Cayoz takes on the doubters and the naysayers over this smoothed out track. If you aren’t up on Cayoz at this point it’s time to study up. Here is a man who is showing and proving EVERY TIME he decides to unleash a track. He’s a very consistent, yet ill, emcee.
Pause Beats recruits some elite wordsmiths for his latest single, Change That. Destruct, Chaundon, and Kastaway drop some bars over a more laid back and jazzy vibe from producer Pause Beats. It sounds all good to me. I can’t wait for this man’s project to drop.
I am late to the party with this track but I wanted to share it with you anyway, just on the off chance you haven’t heard it yet. It’s one of my favorite tracks this year. DJ Quickie Mart puts together a superlative beat with congo/bongo percussion and the emcees all drop some nice gems on their verses. This song is just some feel good music with an uptempo vibe.
You can find this track on Haze Diaries Volume 4. It’s free and definitely worth your time and hard drive space.
