Single You Out: Snowgoons – Still Real And Raw (ft. M – Dot, Jaysaun, & Journalist 103)

Snowgoons Black Snow 2 Promo

New single lifted from the Snowgoons’ latest project, Black Snow 2.  I just listened to the album a few days ago and I think its the Goons best work in a minute, so make sure you check that out. Still Real And Raw brings together that vintage German boom-bap with the rhyme stylings of M-Dot, Jaysaun, and Journalist 103.   Everyone who follows HHD knows M-Dot’s prowess.  Jaysaun can spit just a few bars a year and make a headliner.  Journalist 103 has at least one classic album under his belt and severely underrated one as well.  So is that ill enough?  Enjoy this collabo!

Single You Out: Tribeca – Forever Rain (ft. Mayhem (EMS) & Lisa Denise) (prod By 2’s & BlackBrown)

Mayhem from the EMS camp broke me off with this new track  by Tribeca that he is featured on.    Forever Rain is something that us regular folk can really find solace in.  Sometimes we feel like circumstances and conditions are constantly against us, but we still persevere.  The chorus by Lisa Denise is also a highlight here.  Her voice relates to the hope that the emcees are referring to.

Single You Out: Reckonize Real – Beyond Recognition (ft. Reks and Mayhem)

Reckonize Real’s new album, Dopamine, is dropping  on October 29th and Beyond Recognition is another single from that project.  Reks and Mayhem (dude has been staying busy this year)  each throw an ill 16 but the beat on this track is what’s going to grab you.  In my mind the production sounds like a meld of hip hop and sounds from India.  Plus the cuts from  ToneDeff 2Cutz are precise and that adds the right finishing touch to the track.   This will stay in rotation for sure.

Poison Man – Armageddon (Video)

First off Poison Man is composed of Meta P, Mayhem, and DJ John Gotem.   Secondly this music and video is too ill.  This is actually the second feature for Mayhem of the day which rarely happens for any artist.  It just happens when great talent and good timing combine.  The beat by Al Gees sounds apocalyptical which suits the sound just fine.   I am excited to hear what the team has in store for an album.  Dope styles abound!

 

Single You Out: Don Streat – Colors Remix (ft. Mayhem of EMS) (prod. by Cool FD)

Don Streat (Baltimore, MD) and Cool FD (Orleans, France) drop the single Colors Remix featuring Mayhem of EMS from their upcoming project named Bare My Soul.   And while I do not have a set release date for the project, knowing the parties involved, I know it’s going to be dope.   Cool FD intermingles funk elements into this hip hop production giving Don Streat and Mayhem something live to spit their verses upon.

FYI…we will be showcasing Cool FD on the first of October so make sure you check back for that.

Single You Out: Virtuoso – Ted Koppel (ft. M-Dot and V.Knuckles)

I hate you if you don’t like this track.  How do you like that for journalism?  I have direct disdain for your terrible taste.  Anyway…this joint is the best track, in my humble opinion, off of Virtuoso’s joint venture with the Snowgoons, CoVirt Ops: Infantry.  If you like those hard hitting snares and tough rhymes, this album is for you.  Also bear witness to M-Dot’s verse…dude shines every time he blesses the MIC.
