Unbeknownst to me, the team at Effiscienz was holding a remix competition for producers to flip an original song from Fel Sweetenberg’s album, The Invisible Garden. Well guess who came thru as the winner? It should come as no surprise that oft-featured producer, Cool FD stole the show by remixing the Dirt Platoon featured track, The End Of The Book.
Fel Sweetenberg – The End Of The Book (prod. by DJ Brans) (Video)
This is just one of the man bangers off of Fel Sweetenberg’s latest album, The Invisible Garden which is completely produced by DJ Brans. This time the Dirt Platoon completes the rugged offering by contributing some bars of their own.
Single You Out: Raf Almighty – Slumz (ft. Snook da Crook and Wyldbunch)
Man, this track has got me hype! DJ Brans productions tend to have that effect on me. This cut is an uptempo banger that will get the whole block started. It features Dirt Platoon, though this is technically a Raf Almighty solo track, and showcases another emcee that we’ve been featuring around this way, Wyldbunch. It’s almost like a piano player track from the wild west that’s given that 2014 hip hop flavor.
The track is the first single from Raf Almighty’s solo album, G.T.F.O.M.Y. which is set to drop on June 9th. Be on the look out!
Single You Out: Macabeats x Cool FD – The Grind (ft. Dready Kruger x Mic Handz x Dirt Platoon)
Another single released from Pardon My French, which is the collaborative effort from Macabeats and Cool FD. And they bring plenty of heavy artillery to assist on the mic in the personas of Dready Kruger, Mic Handz, and Dirt Platoon. Definitely peep the album…
Skanks – The Huntsmen (ft. Raf Almighty) (prod. by Kyo Itachi) (Video)
Bankai Fam meets the Dirt Platoon, when Skanks and Raf Almighty form The Huntsmen. The venerable Kyo Itachi does the proper work behind the boards to create that grimy and gritty sound that you are hearing. This track is pulled off of Skanks’ forthcoming album, The Shinigamie Flowfessional. I believe the project will be produced completely by Itachi though that’s not confirmed.
Single You Out: Al’Tarba & DJ Nix’On – Funny Games (ft. Dirt Platoon, King Magnetic, and Bonnie Li)
If you haven’t been able to figure this out from my other posts and features: I LOVE the production that is coming out of France. There is so much talent coming from our European brethren and a lot of it is incorporated in the name, Sick Digger Crew. The group is compromised of beatsmiths, Al’Tarba, DJ Nix’on, Junior Makhno, Ugly Tony, Fonka, Mistamaff, Ganjak, and I.N.C.H. Three of those aforementioned names have been featured on HHD numerous times before. They are crafting a FREE project for us to enjoy entitled Overlords. As soon as I have a release date for that I will be sure to pass it on, meanwhile enjoy this banger featuring King Magnetic, Dirt Platoon, and Bonnie Li. This music is serious!
Single You Out: Dirt Platoon – Second Brokest (Dj Brans Remix, Cuts Dj Djaz)
This remix of Dirt Platoon’s Second Brokest by DJ Brans is off of the France’s Finest NY Minute Remix project that is dropping in online stores this Tuesday. There are going to be a lot of big names on this project and A LOT of talent from some French producers. I am excited about this album from the standpoint it is going to showcase the wears of a lot of talented beatsmiths from across the Atlantic that you otherwise may not hear.
Dirt Platoon – Better (Video)
This is a track from DJ Brans and Dirt Platoon’s EP from last year, Start Ya Bids. It’s a dope project and this song is indicative of why. Although the video’s backdrop is simple, I thought the cinematography is pretty dope. You definitely needed to be checking for this duo and the producer.
Single You Out: Don Streat – Vietnam Kids b/w Devils Workshop
Don Streat isn’t just content with that Animal Pak Banger, he’s crafted two more joints for the people to ride to. The first features Kool G Rap and the second features Dirt Platoon. He really is making a name for himself with the consistent string of dope releases. I can’t wait to hear his album. These songs are beyond tough.
Dirt Platoon – Dirty Work (ft. Ruste Juxx) (prod Kyo Itachi) (Video)
New music from Dirt Platoon off their yet to be released collaboration with French producer Kyo Itachi. Ruste Juxx joins the crew and you know how that goes. That man rings bells with his verses. This is a certified street banger!
