Single You Out: JR Swiftz x Jamil Honesty x Jay Royale – The Chipped Tooth Era

Just yesterday, I made it a Jay Royale listening experience…listening to four of his albums and walking away with a couple of thoughts 1) This guy is the embodiment of what Nas, Mobb Deep, and KGR were to hip hop in the 1990s. That pen game, flow, and ear for beats just takes me back to that era with a new level of lyricism. 2) Damn I wish I could get a Jamil Honesty and Royale collab album! Those two sound really nice on a a track together.

Well, today I must have manifested something, because while it is not an album, it IS a JR Swiftz laced heat rock that features both emcees. Again taking you back to the era where lyricism and a finely crafted beat mattered the most.

Big Trip – Death Wish (Video)

The Umbrella has been doing big things in the last several years. But one of the lesser known quantities of the unit (at least for me) was Big Trip. Well, as they say, if you didn’t know then, you know now. Big Trip comes out guns blazing with this Jamil Honesty infused heat rock. This joint knocks, and Trip can see death around the corner.

New project, Honestly Filthy, is completely produced by Honesty, and he does a really amazing job behind the boards, and Trip really impresses. I can’t get enough of this release.

Substance810 – Danger Zone (ft. Mickey Diamond & Jamil Honesty) (Video)

Alright, The Umbrella has done taken over the game for at least the last couple of years, but maybe flying under the radar is Substance810. His pen game deserves maximum recognition and his flow is clearly on par with the best. To top that off, the man has MULTIPLE projects from 2023 that knock with ferocity, and his latest, Makin Waves 2, very well might be the best. It’s deep in dopeness. Lots of tracks on this one, so you get money’s worth on quality and quantity. And here you listen to him deliver top notch bars along with Mickey Diamond and Jamil Honesty over some JR Swfitz production.

Single You Out: Jamil Honesty – 7 Crowns (prod. by Slumlord)

Jamil

Jamil Honesty has a new single featuring Slumlord called 7 Crowns.  And the song is laden in laid back aggressiveness.   The production seems very unassuming, but then hits you with some nice subtleties as in a well placed vocal sample and a scratched in Nas hook.  Honesty constantly flexes his way with words which gives this song that razor’s edge.

Also, if you have not checked his album out from late last year, Martyr Musik, that’s a MUST listen as well!

Single You Out: Jamil Honesty x Cool FD – Salute (ft. Fel Sweetenberg b/w Salute Remix (ft. Fel Sweetenberg x Ill Conscious)

The combo of Jamil Honesty and Cool FD are back at it again with a new single and a remix for that very single. This joint is a a true gem. Cool FD cooks up some production on the original that sounds so effortless. It’s smooth, soulful, and has enough knock to snap that neck back. Honesty and Sweetenberg integrate seamlessly within the rhythm and drop some crisp flows with some sick lyricism. I am particularly impressed with Honesty who sounds right at home with this beat right here.

The only thing different on the remix is the addition of a new sixteen featuring Ill Conscious. And he really does make a nice contribution with his verse.

Be on the lookout for Cool FD and Jamil Honesty’s forthcoming project, The Missing Flag.
