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.
HRSMN (Canibus, Kurupt, Killah Priest, Ras Kass) – Believer/False Profits (Video)
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.
EA$Y MONEY x FABEYON – Radio Buried (ft. Termanology) (Video)
Ea$y Money and Fabeyon team up with Termanology for this banger producer by DJ Supa Dave, from their project, Beyond Ea$y. The three emcees go straight bars over this production that features a rock infused guitar and neck-snapper drum pattern. This joint is furious…and damn…Term closes this out in furious fashion.
Beni-Hana – Blackwater Magi (Video)
Beni-Hana is back and dropping that grimy shit with the release of the title track from his forthcoming album, Blackwater Magi. Gloomy Sailor on the beat, and that name seems pretty fitting, as he drops something somber beat wise for Beni-Hana to spit on.
The new album drops on June 17th.
Single You Out: Ren Thomas x Nem Nieves – Elephant Print (cuts by DJ TMB)
Another dope track from the man, Ren Thomas. I love the distorted guitar sample from Nem Nieves. It’s different and instantly grabs your attention and Thomas flows like few others. He has bars for days. I love his flow, along with his creative punchlines, and humor. This joint is coming off of their future collaborative project, Thirty Thr33.
Single You Out: Renji56 x Daniel Son – Black Magic
You know the deal! If you see Daniel Son on a track, best believe I am copping and this is no different. This is a collaborative joint with German producer, Renji56, and it’s really dope. The beat has a subdued simplicity but keeps the head nodding with the synth and drums. And Daniel Son NEVER fails to deliver the goods.
Used to sit around waiting for signs stressin’ / You gotta get up and get it…number one life lesson
Single You Out: Ramson Badbonez – Lead By Example (ft. Recognize Ali x Skyzoo x Juxx Diamondz)
Ramson Badbonez is a London base producer, and has an album dropping on August 27th entitled, Lead By Example. And here we have the title track featuring Recognize Ali, Skyzoo, and Juxx Diamondz. Heavy on the snare and horn, with this bevy of emcees, this joint is a sure thing. Definitely looking forward to the full length later this summer.
XP The Marxman & Slidebeatz – Double Bubble (Video)
XP The Marxman continues to drop dope music. He’s been consistent in the quality he puts out and carving out a great spot. Double Bubble, produced by Slidebeatz, is found off of his new album, Make The Devil Pray. This joint is pretty subdued with a cascading voice sample, crashing symbols, and a rock infusion. All this while XP delivers you some serious straight talk in the sixteens.
Planet Asia – Truck Jewels (Video)
New Planet Asia, Holy Water, is slated to be out today. I am hoping that’s the case because I always look forward to his music. This is an emcee’s emcee. He can rock over ANY beat. And here he represents over some audible chaos from The Architect. Planet Asia is dropping some Revalations in the truest sense of the word!
XL the BEAST – Choices (Video)
XL lets loose an introspective track from his new album, Heavy Hands. He takes the time to reflect and look back at the man he was, the choices that he made, and all of the people that compose his story in the here and now. Definitely something most of us due as we get older…take account for our lives. Very well done.
