I personally love how Ill Bill drops knowledge. He can send me on a journey to find out more information on a specific topic just from hearing his music. In this case the topic is the Unabomber also known as Ted Kaczynski. There’s not too many people who can take a topic, expound upon that topic from an intellectual perspective, and get their listeners to delve in with them. But that’s Ill Bill for you…
The Grimy Awards coming….
Ill Bill reminiscences, and waxes poetic about the death, the afterlife, and the ones he loves. When someone like Ill Bill does a song like this, I think the emotion really connects the music to the listener. He normally drops tough verses but every once a while he puts out a song that leaves himself wide open. Dope material.
This song will be coming off of Bill’s next effort…The Grimy Awards.

Note:
I can say, without hesitation, that Ruste Juxx has been on of the most prolific artists in the last few years. He has been featured donzens of times on other people’s projects. He has been on a a blistering pace of almost releasing two albums a year and V.I.C. is his second of 2012. His first project this year was with French producer Kyo Itachi, entitled Hardbodied Hip Hop. That album was outstanding and I thought Juxx had outdone himself with that effort but, V.I.C. expounds even further on that effort, making it one of the top notch albums of 2012. I believe one of the reasons this album shines so bright is the beat selection from producer, The Arcitype. He is able to fuse different sounds together for an album that I really hadn’t heard before and that only enables Ruste Juxx to showcase even more of what he can do with the microphone.

After this cut, plus the last joint, EVERYONE should be anticipating this album! This track is on some ‘darkest hour’ type ish. Definitely something that can stay in the headphones for quite some time. Make sure you check out Ruste Juxx and The Arcitype’s album, V.I.C. next month…
Just trying to quickly put you onto some new music from the Creative Juices Music family. There are soooo many good joints off of this sampler. I have already heard most of them from the projects they already dropped on and they are all very dope. Just check the credits and I think you will find it a necessity to check this out.
If you are not familiar with the Creative Juices’ body of work, this is a great release to start with. You can check it out for free by hitting the download button below.
This is absolutely one of the most artistic and innovative videos I have seen this year. So I tip my hat to the team who came up with that idea. Very innovative. Meanwhile, if you haven’t heard that track then you haven’t purchased the album yet. PLEASE DO SO NOW!

Note:
I have been waiting for something of this audible velocity to hit my ear drums. Heavy Metal Kings is intelligent, sadistic, and raw. Most of the songs found there within will hit you like a bullet train. With that being said, I understand why this release may not be for everybody. This is not the album that you are going to get good vibes from. This is not something you are going to chill to. You are not going to rock this at a party. This is something for your senses to devour.

This video is coming off of Ill Bill and Vinnie Paz’s collaborative effort entitled Heavy Metal Kings. And while this is not my favorite track from the album (please see Impaled Nazarene and Children Of God) this is still a really dope song and the video is really ill. The whole album is arguably my favorite thus far in 2011 and destined to wind up being reviewed. If you like dark, grimy, and intelligent hip hop then you will love Heavy Metal Kings.

Note:
Slaine was sure to be excited about the release of his debut album, A World Without Skies. Then came word that he needed to pay for sample clearance and the project would not release on the anticipated date in October. But rather than sulk over spilled milk, Slaine went right back to the lab and put together the mixtape, The Devil Never Dies for his fans. This wasn’t just slapped together. It couldn’t have been. I do know that Slaine, according to his Twitter account and the Outro of this mixtape, was hitting the studio for all night sessions trying to get this mixtape completed. Not only did he succeed in completing the project, but he earns our #2 spot for Mixtape of the Year.
