Here’s a single from Curly Castro’s forthcoming album, Tosh which is dropping on December 14th.   Ital-You-Can-Eat is a creative and eclectic blend of talent that just comes together and an impeccable blend.  You’ve got a master of musical fusion in Blockhead concocting a production that is reggae-asian-hiphop infused.  And then you add bending lyricism from Castro and billy woods to the mix, and your palette is set.   Enjoy the feast!

Single You Out: PremRock – Fetanyl (ft. billy woods x Vekked)

We’ve talked about it before, but let’s make mention of it again:  PremRock is clearly an innovator when it comes to making hip hop music.  His lyricism is slick, crafty, and has a tendency to get those synapses firing in that brain of yours.

His new project with Fresh Kils, Poet’s Payday, is an extension of the previous comment.  This project again illustrates that creativity that we all love.  Fresh Kils  cooks up a delicious avant garde production, while billy woods adds his own innovations via a complimentary sixteen.

I am sure that hip hop lovers of all ilks will love this track and the project as a whole.

Artist Spotlight: PremRock

premrock-1

I am pretty excited…no, let me rephrase, I am very excited to bring you some thoughts from one of the most creative emcees in the game, PremRock.

I have been listening to him for a couple of years now and in an ideal world, I would have connected with him at SXSW a couple of weeks ago.  But that was not in the cards.  Still, I wanted to pick his brain about, his art, his friends, and his perspective.  What I got in reply was well thought out introspection.

I encourage you to read the interview, check the video freestyle (it’s amazing) and make sure you cop all of his music.  If you love creativity in your hip hop, you are going to be an instant fan of PremRock.

Single You Out: Pruven – Grey Matter (ft. Billy Woods)

The camp at Uncommon Records shot this over to me.  Grey Matter is a different track with some spaced out production and I appreciate it because I get so tired of the same mundane beats.  Pruven is a very intelligent  emcee and delivers some thought provoking lines along with Billy Woods.  Be sure to check it out and drop some thoughts.  Grey Matter is the single to Eccentric Cohesion which is also out now.
