Single You Out: Defcee x Messiah Musik – The Golem Brooklyn Theme Song

I am a huge of fan of Defcee. Though some will hate comparisons, I think of the first time I heard Aesop Rock’s Labor Days as to the first time I heard Defcee. He just has an uncanny way of juxtaposing words though not as abstract. It’s just incredibly clever writing and he has the voice and skill to back up that pen game.

Here, over some superlative production Messiah Musik, Defcee jumps into his Jewish culture referencing the creation of the Golem. I am no expert, but this a creation in Jewish folklore where a ‘being’ is created from clay for servitude. I read about this in the Umberto Eco book, The Prague Cemetery. But now that you know how nerdy I might be, listen to the illness demonstrated below.

This single is the lead off of an entire project in which Defcee reflects upon his Jewish heritage and experience in the United States. I can’t wait to hear it in its entirety.

M-Dot – Not Today (prod. by Black Milk) (Video)

M-Dot rocking over some Black Milk production and showcasing that resiliency both in film and profession. Nobody overcomes obstacles like our man. So many years. So many shows. So many projects. And that talent keeps shining and the only man that can stop that is the man in the mirror. You can hear that tenacity on Not Today, and it looks like this video came equipped with a cardio routine on the streets of Dresden!

You can still cop the album, HERE.

Substance810 – Danger Zone (ft. Mickey Diamond & Jamil Honesty) (Video)

Alright, The Umbrella has done taken over the game for at least the last couple of years, but maybe flying under the radar is Substance810. His pen game deserves maximum recognition and his flow is clearly on par with the best. To top that off, the man has MULTIPLE projects from 2023 that knock with ferocity, and his latest, Makin Waves 2, very well might be the best. It’s deep in dopeness. Lots of tracks on this one, so you get money’s worth on quality and quantity. And here you listen to him deliver top notch bars along with Mickey Diamond and Jamil Honesty over some JR Swfitz production.

Real Bad Man & BLU – Bad News (Video)

Bad News is a great song from a great album from Real Bad Man and Blu. Bad News (the album) is laced with gems. If memory serves correctly, nine of them. I ran through the project today and was really impressed by the entire project. Real Bad Man is simply a marvel at production, and Blu sounds immaculate over these beats. This title track is case in point. I love how the beat switches up and our emcee never loses a step and in fact ups that ante.

This is great hip hop and I implore you to check this one out!
