Really proud to be able to showcase some new music from one of my personal favorite artists, Kyle Hubbard. It’s been a minute since Hubbard had put some new music out, but he shows he hasn’t lost a step rocking over this jazzy, yet funky Djay Cas production with guest emcee Truck North.
Another dope song from Hubbard’s album, You’re Not That Special. In this cut, Hubbard and his compadre, Full Metal F Dot, rep Houston to the fullest. At times you just need to pay homage. You need to stop sleeping on this artist, and download this album.

Note:
Kyle Hubbard’s 2010 project, Tomorrow In Retrospect, garnered my attention in early 2011. I didn’t know who he was but somehow I caught wind of the release and I found a whole lot of respect for this Houston emcee and his music. Hubbard just goes about things differently. He may live in Houston but his sound embodies a more global view of hip hop.

This is the first single off of Kyle Hubbard’s forthcoming album, You’re Not That Special. This really is just the tip of the iceberg. You are definitely going to want to hear the rest of that joint when it drops on March 20th. This beat by DJay Cas is synthed out but has a high energy ‘epic’ feel to it. Hubbard is the one who makes this track original though. So often it seems he just takes a beat (any beat) and contorts it into something special.
It’s Kyle Hubbard ! It’s been a few minutes since we have heard some new music from the Houston lyricist but you know what? If he drops heat like this on his new album, it is all worth the wait. I am partial to the first track, It’s Making Sense. It gets no deeper. Hubbard has a way of bringing thought provoking music to the table. Hard to define the style but he definitely had me thinking on this track. Enjoy and get ready for his new album dropping next year.
I posted on Kyle Hubbard’s release, Tomorrow In Retrospect, a couple of months ago. I was encouraged to hear some great hip hop coming out of H-Town. I thought Kyle was a lyrical breath of fresh air for Texas. He sent me an email with his latest effort, Around The Way, produced by Djay Cas.
Now even though, I liked Kyle’s last release, I am still dubious of most things that hit my inbox. I only post things on the blog that I absolutely love, regardless of past efforts. Well, I should stop being so cynical. Kyle puts together a terrific ‘Ode To Houston’, and he does so inclass. Kyle, in every track I have heard, never dumbs his music down. He has that unique blend of being able to keep his sound close to the streets but with an elevated mind. Check it!
