New single from Creative Juices artist, I Am Many. The new mixtape, Born Again Sinner, is going to be be dropping online on May 2nd, so check for that. This song is produced by Creative Juices front man IDE. And what I like about this joint is the fact that this is a “true” freestyle over an “original” beat. I am really tired of hearing people go in over industry beats. It lacks creativity in my mind. I Am Many really is different type of emcee that has an extremely unique flow and cadence. Definitely check back here for more of I Am Many and Creative Juices releases. Meanwhile…enjoy…

Note:
I am familiar with one half of the duo Moke and Tone. Tone is a member of the Problemaddicts. A group that I got into a couple of years ago. They are very creative and lyrical in their endeavors. Also, Tone had a song on the Ide (Creative Juices) and Skavenger release called Razor. And that joint was in my Top 5o last year. So with all that background, I definitely wanted to hear what this duo had to offer and I was not disappointed in the least.

Single You Out: Brown Bag All Stars – Crumbling Down
What’s up with the Brown Bag Allstars, you say? So much that it’s hard for your humble hip-hop blogger/fan to keep up with. Everyone’s got side projects going on, whether they have just recently been released or to be released. I am thinking of putting out a monthly column entitled “What’s Going On With The Brown Bag?” Well, for this moment, J57 has released this single entitled Crumbling Down. The joint is produced by Mr. Green. It’s definitely a more sobering joint but fresh nonetheless. The skills in this crew are really second to none right now. Be on the lookout for a double disc project of rare and unreleased material dropping on May 17th.

Single You Out: The Regiment – The New Danger (ft. Kaimbr)
The Regiment are on fire right now. They have already released a mixtape entitled Back To Lyrics which had a bunch of gems on it. And they come back with this track that features Kaimbr who is currently receiving accolades for his own album, The Alexander Green Project. They are now signed to HIPNOTT records, Kevin Nottingham’s label with an album slated to drop later this year. They released an album in 2009 that I copped and listened to once that I think I should revisit as well entitled, A New Beginning. Makin’ moves… Download the single below.

Single You Out: Drique London – The Cypher (ft. King Mez and Tab One)
Drique London, huh? Alright, I see you…. This is a nice single. Anything with King Mez on it, automatically gets a listen, no doubt. This is the lead single for his forthcoming album, The Manual. Grab it while it’s hot!

Note:
I have been waiting for something of this audible velocity to hit my ear drums. Heavy Metal Kings is intelligent, sadistic, and raw. Most of the songs found there within will hit you like a bullet train. With that being said, I understand why this release may not be for everybody. This is not the album that you are going to get good vibes from. This is not something you are going to chill to. You are not going to rock this at a party. This is something for your senses to devour.

Single You Out: Evil Woman (ft. Sab The Artist)
I spotted this over a 2Dopeboyz a few days ago and found this track be so exceptional that I needed to add it. The sample in the production is really nice. This is definitely something I can find myself playing throughout the year. Great replay value. I am aware of Big Jess and his group Unknown Prophets but I never really listened to them. This song is a nice intro. And come to find out, you can download his two last albums for free on his website. I am listening to them now and I like what I hear.

Ill Bill x Vinnie Paz – Blood Meridian Video)
This video is coming off of Ill Bill and Vinnie Paz’s collaborative effort entitled Heavy Metal Kings. And while this is not my favorite track from the album (please see Impaled Nazarene and Children Of God) this is still a really dope song and the video is really ill. The whole album is arguably my favorite thus far in 2011 and destined to wind up being reviewed. If you like dark, grimy, and intelligent hip hop then you will love Heavy Metal Kings.
Single You Out: Spec Boogie – Afrikingstyle
Spec Boogie is my favorite member of the Lessondary crew and vastly underrated. One of those artists who has that God-given ability. The voice, lyrics, and the flow are all there. He’s got a new mixtape entitled World Tourist dropping soon so stay tuned for more information on that.
Single You Out: Moke & Tone – Destiny
Damn, Damn, Damn. I should just end there , but this is just the icing on the cake when it comes to the music I have listened to today. Mokeout and Tone (of the Problemaddicts) have an incredible track on their hands. I love the back and forth style on the chorus. Production done by none other than Illmind.
Their new album drops next Tuesday (mark it on your calendars) entitled Shot Heard Around The World.
