Premrock is a damn poet. As I have followed his career through this blog it has become apparent across time that his skills and style compare to no one, making him one of the most unique features on the site. His wordplay and his lyrics flow and fall together just differently than his contemporaries. And you are bound to catch something different with each listen.
His new album, Load Bearing Crows Feet, drops tomorrow.
A dope track from Jay Royale produced by Stu Bangas and featuring Willie The Kid. This joint has everything with that knocking production and scratching from Bangas, the ultra smooth refined flow of Willie The Kid, and the hard hitting rhymes from Royale. This is a major win for listeners.
Damn this DJ Views track sounds so nice! I love this violin sample he is working with and Ruste Juxx sounds razor sharp on this track. I am a big fan of Juxx and pretty sure I own his entire discography but this track is up there with his best.
I hope this is part of a bigger project either from Views or Juxx. It sounds too good to be a one off.
It’s been a minute since I have heard Nutso deliver a joint like this. THIS is the kind of banger this artist was known for and I love to hear him rocking the mic this relentless. Wow. You can hear his tenacity. He’s coming for heads…and what I love is that he also produced this joint. He created a legit neck snapper here with the keys, drums, and that chorus.
I can’t wait to see how he builds off of this. Hip hop needs Nutso.
You know when you give your Intro the video treatment, it’s got to be pretty fire. And this one is exactly that. John Jigg$ and BP have a neck snapping intro to their collaborative project, The Madness. I remember listening to this and thinking: “This is the damn intro?!” It’s more than just a precursur to how dope the EP is. One of the best this year, if not THE best. I love what BP does with the production and that vocal sample and Jigg$ just keeps grinding “like an engine that’s needing oil”. And no, this talent can’t be ignored when it keeps showing up time and time again with every release.
Check it out!
Album: BadFellas
Tracklisting:
Ty Farris is one of my favorite emcees. If I see his name attached to something, I don’t even need to hear it before I purchase. It’s an auto-cop. And this track produced by Thelonious Martin is one of the best I have heard from him and that’s saying alot. I love the production here, as Martin literally laces Farris a beat that sounds like a prayer. And Farris’ bars are unparralelled…
Underground superman I took the lowest (Lois) lane….
Dude is just so ill. His first sixteen on this song is one of the best verses of the year.
The new project, Ramen Noodle Nights, drops on June 8th.
Rome Streetz and Ankhlejohn released a collaborative project that took me by surprise, Genesis 1:27, just dropped a few days ago and it’s HIGH on the list to check out in it’s entirety. This is an interesting pairing here. Rome Streetz has got a very polished way of emceeing and Ankhlejohn has a more grimy appeal and a raspiness that sets himself apart. But over this production from Rare Scrilla…that pairing just works. Dope music.
Evidence invites Boldy James to spit some heat over this slow roller. The two emcees spit on some life narratives and personal mantras as to how they go about their business. This from the The Unlearning Vol. 1, which is dropping on June 25th.
The HRSMN’s album, The Last Ride, is coming on June 18th. For years, this super group was heralded as one of the greatest lyrical gathering of talents of all time. These guys have over a hundred years of rhyme experience in the game, and if you look at their collective careers, it’s easy to see why folks would get excited about the union of talents in Kurupt, Ras Kass, Canibus, and Killah Priest. Legendary by ANY standards. But they never pushed this agenda, and after a long hiatus, they ride again. And as you can see and hear, the skills are sharper than ever, and this video is pretty impressive.
