Jaysaun – Bos x Ct x Philly (ft. Blacastan & Reef The Lost Cauze) (Video)

A dope joint from Jaysaun’s new album, Kill Ya Boss, featuring stalwart emcees Blacastan and Reef The Lost Cauze.   And it doesn’t take a listener long to realize that this song is going to knock.   But this is just the tip of the iceberg, my friends because Jaysaun’s album is amazing in the sense that it is relentless in its boom-bap prowess but also, in the emotion, he put into this work.  It’s quite powerful.

I say it a lot…but you Need to pick this album up…you can’t let 2018 pass without copping.

Single You Out: Blacastan x Stu Bangas – Lucifer’s Sickle

Blacastan and Stu Bangas are all but set to release their new album next week, The Uncanny Adventures Of Watson And Holmes.  And this song definitely sets the tone for the release. Stu Bangas really has developed some sickness from behind the boards on this one.  The bass line…guitar licks…with the drums is premier stuff.  Blacastan delivers his bars like a hell hound.  He’s got firey bars and owns this rhythm.

Can’t wait to see what’s on tap with this album.

Note:

It’s more than just a Army Of The Pharaohs thing.  It’s more than just a Houston to Philadelphia thing.  The Monster And Mr. Arnell is a showcase of some of the most promising talent, not only on the AOTP team but currently in the game as a whole.  I have been showcasing V-Zilla for quite a while now as an emcee and Lawrence Arnell on his production credits.  Now the two have combined to deliver a compelling project for hip hop heads of all walks to appreciate.

Single You Out: Blacastan and Stu Bangas – Nubian Metal (ft. Vinnie Paz and Celph Titled)

I didn’t realize that Blacastan and Stu Bangas had an album in the works (Watson and Holmes).  For their first offering, Nubian Metal, it’s an AOTP reunion of sorts with Vinnie Paz and Celph Titled jumping on the track.   It’s more of what you have come to expect from the team: that hard-body hip hop.   It’s not my favorite track out at the moment, but it still knocks with the best of them.

The album drops July 29th.

Single You Out: DJ Tray – The Truth (ft. Tragedy Khadafi, Miilkbone, Godilla, Red Eye & Blacastan)

Yeah, like the Brown Bag AllStars say…it’s undeniable.  This is a beast of a track featuring three of my favorite emcees, Godilla, Red Eye, and Blacastan.  We all know who Tragedy Khadafi is and what he is capable of.  The unknown commodity here is Miilkbone.   But he sounds nice with his and doesn’t lose a step when the baton is passed to him on the track.  This is indeed the first leak off Miilkbone’s mixtape (TBA) hosted by DJ Doo Wop coming out spring 2013
