Single You Out: Lateb – The Virus (ft. Canibus and Amadeus The Stampede)

I listened to Lateb’s album, Wisdom and Ignorance.   I thought the album was pretty good as a whole, but this track is absolutely banging.   You have to give Matty Trump a shout out for the work behind the boards.  It has been a while since I have heard Canibus drop a verse as good as the one he does on this joint.  Amadeus The Stampede always brings some hard bars to the table.  He’s a hard man to outshine on a track.  Overall this joint gets a lot of love in the rotation.  If you like it, make sure you check out Lateb’s album by clicking the link.

Single You Out: Rite Hook – Bear With Me (prod. by Falside)

Boston’s Best Kept Secret, Rite Hook , links up with super producer, Falside , for the track Bear With Me.   Obviously this joint is going to be dope so just download it already.  It is a leak from Rite Hook’s forthcoming  album, Draw You In.  And while you are at it, you can download his album E.ye A.ssume D.amage on Leedz Edutainment Bandcamp.  It’s free.  Get it HERE!

Single You Out: Intuition – Sanctuary (prod. by Dibia$e)

Intuition has a plethora (like that word don’t you?) of styles.  He is such a diverse artist.  He can do comedic styles, boom bap, and touch on more serious and intimate topics.  I am really feeling this joint which focuses on battery and domestic violence, as he narrates two stories of individuals who try to find ‘sanctuary’ from the torment.  This is some meaningful music.  The production is also borders on the incredible, with beats provided by Dibia$e.

Freeway, Omar Offendum, The Narcicyst, Ayah, Amir Sulaiman – #Jan25th (Video)

When hip hop is expressive and relevant it is at it’s best.  You really can not get anymore relevant than this track and video footage that reflect the political and social change that started on January 25th in Egypt.  It’s a very powerful piece.   In addition, all of these artists have created a dope presentation of the events that transpired.

You can also download the track HERE.

stefanoneder Check The Discography

Check The Discography: Leedz Edutainment

I awoke this morning to Leedz putting it in the air via Twitter that eight of the albums/mixtapes put out on his label were being offered free.  I am assuming this is a recent development, though I could certainly be wrong.  I know I paid good money for them and now you can DL some of them without spending a dime.  These releases are chocked full of dope beats and raw lyricism.  You are going to find something among the collection that you will love.  Heck, I love most of them.  My favorites of the bunch are  Rite Hook’s E.ye A.ssume D.amage and the Write Off Mixtapes Vol.1 and 2.  You will see tons of guest shots on these releases, including Slaine, Amadeus The Stampede, Reef The Lost Cause, J The S,  Ill Bill and many more.  I realize this is not an ‘artist’ discography so to speak but I wouldn’t sleep on this  collection if I were you!  Also, make sure you remember to drop some dollars on one of these artist’s shows or retail products if you like what you hear.  It’s essential to contribute financially when capable.    Meanwhile, enjoy….

You can click the cover of the particular album you wanted to check out and be linked to the Bandcamp site where you can stream the music to see if it’s for you, but for my part it is a no brainer:  Pick them all up!

Note:

Another talented act has emerged out of the DMV by way of Memphis.  Soulfully, Me hit me up a little over a week ago with his debut, Confessions Of A College Kid.  My immediate reaction was that the artist and production were both above par, which in and of itself is a victory.  At 21 tracks, the main question I had by track six was: “Can this emcee keep it up?’  And the answer is…yes.  Yes he can.

Single You Out: Rise and The Avid Record Collector – This Is Life

On the Bandcamp page, from whence this came, it says that this single dropped today however I haven’t heard much clamor about it.  Well,  I guess I will start pushing this song out there for all to hear.  I have always thought that Rise was among the wittiest emcees in the games.  He just has clever lines. This one is no different. It’s vintage Rise, as he showcases his conversational style over The Avid Record Collectors enjoyable production.  Also if you did not get a chance to to check out their effort from early 2009, Risen, make sure you do that.  It was a Top 10 release that year.
