Single You Out: Nems – (Unwanted) Freedom

Nems breaking a little new ground with this new track.  He’s getting a little more personal on this track, letting you see a different side to the FYL movement.  The beat is minimalistic but really works with the sample choice.  Here’s the information regarding the track as stated on the YouTube page:

Nems leaks the first track off his “Fuck Your Love” EP titled ” [Unwanted] Freedom”. The EP drops in mid May and will be Nems first solo project in nearly two years. Executive produced by Busy of BKLYN STICKUP, “Fuck Your Love” will surely be Nems most personal work to date.

This is a yearly musical synopsis from the fam over at Creative Juices. The crew over their has been one of my favorites for three of four years now. They are always cranking out dope jams, and this mixtape gives you a taste of more than just a few of them. Again, this is a great way to get you caught up with the crew or get put on as a fan. Obviously this is mixed by the skilled talent that is DJ Connect. They have loads of great music in store for 2013 as well. Enjoy!

Single You Out: Junior Makhno – Down With Us (ft. IDE x Alucard)

Evidentially Creative Juices will be the label Junior Makhno will utilize to drop his next mixtape and first studio album.  I am familiar with some Makhno tracks and know he fits the mold of what CJM is known for.  Which is putting out no frills boom bap.   Here’s the first single from the project.  The descending vocal sample over those drums is the crem de la creme.

Critical – Quarantine (2012)

Artist: Critical

Album: Quarantine

Source: Creative Juices Music

Tracklisting:

1. Wreckage
2. Glidin’ (ft. Tzarizm)
3. Time Flies
4. A Vibe Called Stress (ft. Tzarizm)
5. Menace To Sobriety (ft. Madness)
6. The Difference

Note:

More than not, talented hip hop acts get buried under the bulk of “hip hop” music getting made these days.  Case in point, a guy like Critical, who has been making dope music for years, can fly underneath the radar while other less talented folks (who will remain unmentioned) get all of the shine.  Well, hopefully his most current release, Quarantine, will change all of that.

CF – We Gone Rock/Voodoo Economics (Video)

When it comes to spitting salvos of information in dope prose I look no further than CF.  He mingles punchlines, flow, and a wealth of information seamlessly.  Honestly, to me, this is the most talented artist on the Creative Juices roster and a top ten emcee in the game right now, period.

Another level type ish…everyone else…step your game up.
