It’s violent chaos on Supreme Cerebral and Vinyl Villain’s first video single, Shotgun Barrell, off of their new project, The Emperor’s Deity. The production gives you this unnerving and edgy feeling that something wicked is on it’s way, and that manifests in the bars from Supreme Cerebral. Tough track all the way around!
Single You Out: Savage Souls – Pompeii
Savage Souls is a group that doesn’t release a new project every few months (and maybe that’s the right method, who am I to say?) But when they do drop, they bring some serious heat, and that’s no pun intended as I share their track, Pompeii. The track has a great intensity to it in both the production and lyricism. This track drives hard and I would definitely suggest you pick up the new project, After The Blood Spills.
Maze Overlay – Reggie Miller (ft. Asun Eastwood x Bub Styles) (Video)
Maze Overlay is busy prepping a new project for the masses and once again he strikes gold with this Sadhugold produced single, Reggie Miller. Every song is a win for this artist and that’s not over-talking it. This production is lethal, and while Asun Eastwood and Bub Styles both add some fire, we also know some serious heat is coming from Arizona. Maze Overlay is top tier. In terms of making dope music and songs, few if any are surpassing this man. Razor sharp wordplay. Look out for the album.
Single You Out: Enels – The Valley II (ft. Pablo)
I wanted to showcase a cut from Enels most recent album, Kill All Evil. The project is really good and there is an assortment of dope cus on here to choose from. The production on the majority of the joints is supherb, and the wordplay is nice. I am going with showcasing the cut, The Valley II, featuring Pablo. The piano sample with this beat is just too ominous to ignore and the pen game from our emcees is just nasty. But I advise you to check the whole project. You can thank me later.
Chuck N Lock – Bat Signal (Video)
Chuck N Lock are back for another run as there new album, See XL, gets ready to see the light of day on March 3rd. So put that on your calendar. These emcees are known turning that phrase, having you rewind it back, and catching something new in their wordplay.
WateRR & Lupara – Whenever The Drama Came (ft. Defcee) (Video)
One of my favorite tracks so far this year is this one from WateRR and Bohemia Lynch, Whenever The Drama Came. This beat is perfect. Love the sound crafted with the strings and vocal sample. It plays the background perfectly to the conversational style as WateRR and Defcee trade bars at the restaurant table. Everything is strong on this cut, and the chorus really binds it all together.
The new album, Compendium Of Arcanum, is due out on March 20th.
Defcee x Blockhead – Learning Gravity (Video)
The union of Defcee and Blockhead for a track is a blessed one. These two artists have such a depth of lyricism and sound, that they are a destined pairing for a song together. They both exhibit a unique level of intricacy on the single, Learning Gravity. There is so much texture to listen for here. I hope there is an album in the works, but up until then, this will present plenty of rewind moments.
Recognize Ali x Sibbs Roc – Moonwalking (Video)
The prolific and talented Recognize Ali is back at it again with a video single from his forthcoming album, due out in March, Back To Mecca II. Moonwalking has our emcee dropping the ruggedness over a soulful and melodic beat from Sibbs Roc. Definitely expecting some emphatic heat from this album!
Single You Out: Supastition – Scatterbrained
The answer to new dope from Supastition is always a resounding ‘yes’. It’s been a while since he’s released a project and he’s about to unveil the world he has been living in these last couple of years with the release of his new project, Every Last Word, which drops on Tuesday. It’s a project where he not only does he provide the rhymes but also handles the production. The project is a personal narrative, and the single Scatterbrain was the lead single which actually dropped a few monthst ago but sharing now. It’s where Supa constructs and follows the bassline, narrating the course of his life and career.
UllNevaNo x GodSenseBeats – Funk (ft. J Scienide) (Video)
Second single off of UllNevaNo and GodSenseBeats’ project, The Ghost Of Reggie Lewis. Funk is arguably the best track off the album (although we gave Raekwon’s Table the nod in our Top 50 list). Definitely provides that funky bassline and heavy drums to let UllNevaNo and J Scienide drop that electric word play over. Another pure hip hop song for your enjoyment.
