Unik-Stylez links up with Diabolic for this new Steps Necessary produced single, Talk Mine. The production has that ominous appeal as these talented emcees talk their shit. There’s a lot of great bars here, so keep your ears cued in.
Single You Out: Ox Omni – Gun Blaze (ft. Rome Streetz)
Here’s something new from an artist, Ox Omni, featuring the talented and prolific Rome Streetz who is a feature favorite. This track is found off of his album, Jenesaisquoi. Based on the single here, I think it’s worth a checking out, what do you think!
Single You Out: ZaZa The God – Bronx (ft. Almighty Gawdflow)
ZaZa The God…remember this name. This is the second track I have heard from this year and this guy’s got the “it”. He’s got a commanding presence on the mic and he assaults his verses like few others can. The beat selection he is using just bangs and this joint, Bronx, with Almighty Gawdflow is touuuuugh. The production from Tokyio Shrympz delivers this heat with strings and a heavy beat, while ZaZa and Gawdlow with similar styles, body it!
New album on the way and I am going back and checking for his older material!
Single You Out: Allah Preme x 29Kill – Black Theater
Allah Preme has been grinding heavy under The Umbrella banner as of late, and I am feeling alot of the man is putting out there. He’s got some heavy hitters out there and it’s about time we start showing the some love on here.
This is a shorter track but no less dope. A quick sixteen over some 29Kill production for the win.
Boldy James – 5 Missisippi (Video)
I’ve been sleeping on Boldy James. Not sure why. Not sure what kept me away from his music but I need some redemption here. His album with producer Real Bad Man, Killing Nothing, is a stand out project. And from start to finish it ranks up there pretty high at the midway point for the best of 2022.
This video is probably about or over a month old, but I had to showcase this. Real Bad Man is a stellar producer and deserves more props and credit than he gets. His projects are dope and his skills are in front of you right here. He laces soul with darkness for this venture and Boldy James give you the realness in his unique style as to how he navigates life with snakes in his company.
Definitely peep this project.
Single You Out: M-Dot x Apollo Brown – Done
All I can saw here…is…WOW. Obviously, I am a huge fan of M-Dot. I showcase pretty much everything he puts out because he’s that good and consistent. But I can say without as much as a waver that this is one of his BEST cuts…EVER. This is a shining moment of 2022. M-Dot has worked with alot of dope producers, but man, how he graces this amazing Apollo Brown production is other worldly. And content wise, he puts today’s game on full display and roasts it. Illustrating all the shortcuts and smoke and mirrors that today’s artists utilize save for talent, and fall flat on their face.
…I’m just shinging light like God on the first day…
Slaine – To Whom It May Concern (Video)
Slaine takes you on a journey through the streets that made him in Massachussetts on this cut that can be found on the newly reprised and released, One Day (Director’s Cut). He hopes his story can help others pull themselves through the hell they are going through. Slaine always paints gritty narratives, and this is another deep example.
Rome Streetz x Royalz – Empire State Haze (Video)
Rome Streetz links up with producer Royalz, and they craft some smooth dope hip hop. And when I say smooth…I mean smoooooooth. The production is literally strung along, then progresses into a jazzy vibe. Streetz drops so many gems that I lose count which is par for the course. Love this.
Their new album, Pyrex Pot Poetry is out now and everyone should be on the move to add this to their collection.
Single You Out: Whip Beats – Word On The Street (ft. Sean Price x Skeezo)
No matter how much time has passed since Sean Price’s passing, it remains refreshing to hear him on a project so many years later, and serves as a ever present reminder as to what a gift he is. Plus you also hear from the homie Skeezo, and it’s been a minute since Ive heard him bless a mic, and he gives it the royal treatment.
The production is handled by France’s own, Whip Beats. And he has a new dropping next week according to sources.
Single You Out: Rico James – Gold Medal Sh!t (ft. Copywrite x Double AB x M-Dot)
Rico James enlists lyrical powerhouses, Copywrite, Double AB, and M-Dot to spit over his production on Gold Medal Sh!t. This is the first single from his upcoming project, Language Of The Spirits. The production is methodically entrancing as the lyricists flex some prose showcasing why they are are the top of their game.
