Trademarc x Mopes- Bag Work (ft. 7L & Esoteric & Vinnie Paz) (Video)

Something dope and unexpected from the collective of Trademarc and Mopes, off of their Strange Famous release, Ham & Eggers.

I feel like I’ve showcased some music from Trademarc perhaps a few years ago, so his name rang a bell. And of course, you add some guest recognition in the way of 7L, Esoteric, and Vinnie Paz, you are going to garner some attention. Pretty nice track through and through, with some crafty lyricism, snapping drums, precise scratches, and a little wrestling flair for the visuals.

DJ AKIL & STARVIN B – Aliens (Video)

Damn. This single from DJ Akil and Starvin B is nice! But would you expect anything less? Actually this joint is nicer than nice. DJ Akil is lacing what strikes me as a 1970s Dragnet type of production with that that perfect hip hop flavor. The production is impeccable. As a matter of fact, you would be hard pressed to find better. And Starvin B shows us once again what an accomplished emcee he is. The flow is effortless…moving ideas and a dope turn of phrase bar by bar. Really enjoying this one.

Planetary Underworld is their new project that is dropping on September 2oth. Bookmark it!

Single You Out: Torah & Marco Polo – The Return

Oh lawd! This is a true and legitimate gift we have been given with “The Return” of music from Marco Polo and Torae. This is that hip hop forged in fire and perfectly molded for eardrums in 2023. It’s got the nostalgic property for those who remember the last project, but also clearly can stand on its own amongst today’s contemporaries.’

This is hip hop with punch on so many levels. Torae hits every bar with tenacity, and Marco Polo leaves nothing to the imagination making you feel each beat.

Really missed this union and can’t wait to hear more from the combination in the very near future. As a matter of fact, September 22nd, the new album, Midnight Run, drops. I can’t wait!

Single You Out: Crafsmen x Van Gunz- Scapegoat

I am going in my own backyward of Virginia to showcase some serious talent. I am pretty sure I showcased Crafsmen many moons ago, and now I found this gem on bandcamp with producer Van Gunz, Grizzled Vets. And this project has me hype. This is the perfect fusion of that clever lyricism and boom bap flavor. I am giving you this Scapegoat for you to sink your ears into. I guarantee you are going to feel the flow and that classical fueled boom bap.

Single You Out: Kahlee x XP The Marxman – Don’t Take It Personal (ft. Tone Spliff) (prod. by DK)

Oh here’s some real illness coming from Kahlee and XP The Marxman in the form of the single, Don’t Take It Personal. The beat by DK is ridiculously good and Tone Spliff adds that special sauce to an already dope mixture. The bars are pen game are top notch as well. This is some real hip hop flavor here. I hope you enjoy as it’s definitely a favorite here.

Halfcut & Reks – Roses (Video)

Always good to hear some new music from Reks which was my drive to initially check out this cut. This is also the perfect pairing to the New Villain track we just posted. Again, it’s a celebration of life, savoring the moments and the memories, because they can all so soon be gone. Reks and and Halfcut both drop poignant verses on past losses and being in the present moment over a melodic production from Kuddie Fresh.

New collaborative project, Survival Mode, available on August 10th.

The Bad Seed & JR Swiftz – Def Leppard (Video)

The Bad Seed and JR Swiftz deliver a one handed beat down with the video single, Def Leppard. I love the guitar loop Swiftz uses for this single, and you should know by now that Seed only drops lava rocks in his verses. I’ve told you a multitude of times that this artist has only gotten better with time. He proves it every year. So consistent and so dope.

The NEW project is here, Strike The Shepherd. And you need to cop. This man only makes dope music.
