So I have a post with Spit Gemz today and one with Skanks but why don’t we tie them together with this cut from Eff Yoo and Rediculous’ album, The Eff Word. Chinese Super Ninjas is a dope posse cut that also includes bars from G.S. Advance.
There’s a really good mix of bars and styles on this cut, but my favorite line comes from Skanks:
…I never served time, I always made my time serve me…
Man, I like that wordplay.
Here’s another artist I have been rocking with from the beginning…Eff Yoo. And as an artist he has really grown over the years. This song really sets expectations for his project with producer Rediculous, The Eff Word (drops on April 21st). So feel the horns and the flow, and raise your glass to salute the talent!
This is my favorite cut off of Eff Yoo’s Papa Dios album. I love the ‘Forbidden Fruit’ vibe from the name of the song to the content therein. The instrumentation is dope and of course you’ve got Spit Gemz rocking the mic with Eff Yoo. Also one of the blessings of the songs is I get to hear Carmen Indhira albeit all so subtly.
Check the album if you have not already.
Eff Yoo just released his latest album, Papa Dios, which reminded me that I had never posted about this video. Truly, the album is Eff Yoo’s most complete to date. His skill set is becoming more polished and refined, making this album a must listen. This cut is really just the tip of the iceberg in what you will find in the album. Bangers on deck!
Wack rappers best call a full retreat because it’s not safe outside for you when Eff Yoo and Godilla’s project, They Came On Horseback, drops next week. This joint has bars that are toxic to the weak minded. The guys bring a militia with them in the form of Shabaam Sahdeeq, Adlib, Spit Gemz, and UG. Those are top notch artists delivering equally to notch material.
I had no idea this was even in the works. Didn’t know that Eff Yoo and Godilla even were aware of each other. It’s really quite awesome when two artists of this caliber link up though. I have long been a fan of Godilla and became aware of Eff Yoo a couple of years ago and he’s been droppin’ dope music ever since. The whole project is due out on June 3rd and I am anxious to hear what the two have cooked up. This is definitely a short but dope banger!
Eff Yoo is releasing some dope from his vaults and his first salvo comes in the form of The Tri-Lateral Commission which features the usual suspects of Spit Gemz and Starvin B. Led by a guitar riff, the three emcees spit nothing but bars and leave a hook unnecessary. I hope Eff Yoo has some more gems locked away. It’s too good to leave unheard.
Disclaimer: It is hard and challenging to pick 50 tracks from the thousands upon thousands that dropped this year. It is merely an attempt to list my favorite cuts of 2012. Click the links to listen to the song! I think it’s a great list. There were a lot of great songs crafted this year and I know I left off some good ones. I listened to 5,000+ tracks from 2012 alone this year, so as an artist, if you made this list you know you are on the forefront of my iTunes!
