Rim keeps on putting out dope music after the release of last year’s dope album, D.O.A. He shows no signs of a slow down. As a matter of fact he seems to only be picking up steam in the new year rocking over this jazzy boom-bap from Jon Glass just has you nodding that head irresistably.
Rome Streetz & Futurewave – Fortune Favors The Bold (Video)
Rome Streetz and Futurewave? Yes sir/ma’am!!! We have it. An ill combination that seems like was just a matter of time when considering their talent levels. Fortune Favors The Bold is also an appropriately titled track, as the guys are leaving it all out there musically for us to hear.
The Heacrack project is on it’s way!
Madhattan – LivelyHood (Prod Rob Deniro) (Video)
Here’s a heavy track from Madhattan and producer Rob Deniro. The song is dark, ominous, and intimidating. The piano and the bass from Deniro is the stark soundscape needed for Madhattan to drop a solid and dope salvo of bars. This song should definitely be making some noise from two artists that have been grinding hard as of late.
The two have a collaborative EP dropping called San Gennaro.
Single You Out: Grieves -Beethoven
Grieves’ music always resonates with me. His perspectives on relationships and life just hit home. And this is yet another song of his that I will have on repeat for quite sometime.
I can’t even hear em’ anymore…don’t even make a difference at all?
Single You Out: Foul Monday x SPNDA – Untold Stories
“I’m just a product of stories untold…” and so the song goes. Foul Monday and SPNDA go in over some dope…almost troubador-esque production from Prete Rosso which is pretty fitting. Really nice joint to share with you on this Saturday.
Single You Out: K-Beta x J-Scrilla – Sacrifice
This is what the world needed right now…K-Beta connecting with DJ J-Scrilla for this fire yet, deeply personal and introspective track. Which really, in turn, makes it even more personal. This make is some extremely powerful material that Beta is talking about here, and Scrilla utilizing this Styx loop over these drums really conveys the point.
Can’t wait to hear more.
Rigz – Still Big L (Video)
I didn’t get to post this video a week ago, but I am still going to be sharing it because it’s that kind of dope people need to hear. You’ve got Rigz and Milano Constatine paying homage to the legend Big L with this short but compelling joint. Constatine laces a nice beat for Rigz who really represents. This joint goes hard.
Don’t confuse talent with pride, that’s just your ego / At once side you can dunk a little, but lack a free throw.
Single You Out: Reks x Little Vic – Reversed Latin
Reks and Little Vic get busy over a fresh production for the single, Reversed Latin. The lyricism and cadence of each emcee is complimentary, making this short track packed with quotables such as this one from Vic.
You ain’t got no fucking power here / Try to wrestle my thoughts , leave em’ cauliflower ear
DJ Muggs & Eto – Holy Wine (Video)
Muggs and Eto linking up proves to instantly be an ill combination. Muggs is lacing up something that can best be described as sinister, with this latest production, and only made more so with the visuals. Eto, meanwhile, is making an early push for busiest emcee in the business. He is bringing a gritty fire to this track.
Hells Roof is the forthcoming album, and this has all the trappings of something great.
