You know what time it is! It’s time for the Big Umbrella! And Snotty knows how to deliver a high level of potenecy in a short period of time. And when he rocks over this Brisk Fingaz beat, it sounds like a dusty jazz club vibe with tales from our emcee taking front and center on a smoke filled stage. Sleep not!
El Gant’s new project, O.S.L.O., drops on this coming Friday and has all the trappings of being a tremendous listen. You have razor sharp lyricism and complete control of his bars. He is able to change cadences and pace effortlessly, all the while launching salvo after salvo of dopeness. It’s on full display here on Roar the Lions, in which producer Motif Alumni takes you to church and DJ Grazzhoppa chops up a new religion!
I’m a one man fight song….
And that sounds about right!
Maze Overlay coming on strong in 2022. His latest album produced by Farmabeats, AZTECAZ, is some straight fire. And on Hardbody Arts, prod by Slang Hugh, he picks right up where he left off. He has a really nice flow that you can really appreciate over this rhythm that just snakes through your eardrums. Overlay is one to watch from here on out, really showing his talent for the world to see.
Serge Severe is back at the mic once again, and catching his second wind and seizing his opportunity as he drops the new single, Again. Using a familiar Wu-Tang instrumental as the song’s crux, Severe gets reborn and is hyper focused on making the most of his talent and music career allowing the listener to follow along bar by bar.
New single from Rock’s upcoming album, Ether Rocks. Shark Tank features Boot Camp bars a plenty from Rock, Steel, and Ruste Juxx over some violin inspired boom bap from producer Ron Browz who produces the enitre forthcoming project. This joint is as tough as you would expect when hearing this line up, and I anticpate more of the same from the album. It’s an auto-cop.
XP The Marxman is on quite the run dropping projects and appearances on the regular and with strength at that. Because why would you do it any other way. From a blogger standpoint, you can just feel the wave getting bigger and bigger for him.
With that said, I love this joint from Pacific Standard Time Remix album which snuck past me and I need to cop as soon as possible. I love this J.Rocc rendition of production. The scratches on the chorus are super dope, as they interact perfectly with the bars our emcee is dropping.
If you are not up on this new project from Maze Overlay, AZTECAZ, you need to stop what you are doing right now and go cop. I feel pretty strongly that everyone needs to give this a listen.
I first caught wind of the project when I head FARMABEATS was lacing the production. And not only did he lace it…it’s his best production to date in my mind. All of his projects are great quality but this is that premium special blend that you only break out once a decade. Vintage.
And Maze Overlay impresses thoroughly with his gritty, yet clever wordplay on top of those ominous beats. And in this case Death Valley is just the tip of the ice berg.
Eddie Kaine and K Sluggah link up for a new project that just dropped, Chosen. And it the video single, Warm It Up, is any indication, the project it going to knock. These are two aritst that are very highly respected individually, and their union of talents is a blessing for listeners.
Flames track from the collaborative efforts of Mic Bles and Level 13, with cuts from DJ Mysterons.
Chronicles Of Death is the certified boom bap flavor. These drums snap and Mic Bles delivers the goods bar by bar. And those scratches make this track close to perfection. Lots of skill showcased on this track including the GI Joe video flip by MIDIchlorian
Saints With No Halos drops on October 10th, so be on the lookout.
I don’t think enough people talk about King Ralph in the music biz. Everything I hear from him as an artist is really dope. So here I am trying to shed light.
I have elected to share the track, Vietnam, from his recent album, Fuck Babylon. It’s short but he takes this bass line and just runs it for a little over a minute. His flow and wordplay are spot on and I hope people start to see this skill level.
Check out his most recent and past project if you are an unbeliever.
