One of my favorite tracks off of M-Dot’s new album, Daze Of Greed. The Enemy Is Everywhere is some Vinny Idol produced vengeance for your ears, as M-Dot just unleashes some pent up aggression. Over the years, as an HHD favorite we’ve seen him mature as an artist and created great concepts and craft great songs, but sometimes, you just need to let the lion out of the cage. HIs pen comes out hot on this one people!
Single You Out: The Tangiers – Wrath Of The Titans (ft. M-Dot x RJ Payne)
Ohhhh damn…you all are not ready for this…but nonetheless here it is. RJ Payne is one of the most sought over collaborative talents right now. His pen game is just ruthless. And here you have The Tangiers (Benefit and Kaine) inviting him along with M-Dot to trade bars over a track that is also produced by M-Dot. The end result is just spectacular. This joint is exceptional and gets you hype on the abundance of rhyme and rhythm.
This track is coming from The Tangiers forthcoming album, The House Always Wins.
M-Dot – Today (ft. EMS) (Video)
The EMS crew unites for this video from M-Dot’s latest project, Jake LaDotta. Today is may favorite cut off of the project. It’s a masterpiece of a posse cut. From the production to varying lyrical skills, this joint will have you nodding your head in rhythm with a smile on your face!
Single You Out: EMS – The Spittin’ Dead (Produced By Soul Infected)
The EMS ensemble gather together to spit over an adaptation of The Walking Dead’s television theme song. And if any unit could pull off something like this, I trust non other than EMS. They have diverse enough lyrical styles to keep the track bouncing and entertaining.
This track serves as Revalation’s second single for his forthcoming EP, Emergency Broadcast.
Single You Out: M-Dot – Today (ft. E.M.S.)
This song just made my week. No matter what happens the rest of the week, this song from M-Dot and company is a major win! The bass line on this jawn made my neck sore. And the flows…my god the flows, were impeccable. M-Dot can stay silent for months and then drop a gem like this and instantly remind us of his greatness. And I meant to use that word…great. He has a really sophisticated way with words when rocking the mic. The jam definitely has an old school appeal but easily something I could see getting some universal love.
Jake LaDOTta drops for free tomorrow and may knock some of these end of the year lists on their heads. Check back at DJ Booth for the good word…

Benefit – Heavy (ft. Big Shug & M-Dot) (Prod by Norman Cratez) (Video)
Is Boston in the building? Is EMS in the building? Is the Gangstarr Foundation in the building? Hell yeah it is! Benefit, M-Dot, and Big Shug drop those bars heavy over the Norman Cratez’ production. Three different styles joining forces and each repping hard. This particular song will be showing up on Benefit’s forthcoming album, Timing Is Everything. Stay tuned!
Single You Out: Benefit – Killa Kannibals (ft. PH and Famoso)
As Benefit readies his next “timing” project, Timing Of A Godfather, he unleashed Killa Kannibals. A cut in which heavy hitters, PH and Famoso join him on the mic. It’s got all of those head-nodding qualities that you are all always craving. In particular check that third verse from Famoso. He incorporates some Trayvon Martin and Magna Carta / Holy Grail references that definitely capture your attention.
Single You Out: Benefit – Mind Running (ft. M-Dot and Famoso) (Produced By DC Soulplusmind) Cuts By DJ Grazzhoppa
When EMS comes a’ knocking with new music, I am always answering the door. What we have here is a very soulful track from DC Soulplusmind and some excellent DJ skills exhibited by DJ Grazhoppa. Those two things already made this track a gem but then you add the likes of M-Dot, Famoso, and Benefit to the mic duties and you have something superlative. This track is off of the Benefit’s upcoming mixtape, Timing Of the Godfather.
