Locksmith is a very busy man. He has released a ton of music and videos in the last three months. Take Me Away is an introspective track where he provides his audience some insight into how he grew up and where he is now as a a hip hop artist. His album Labyrinth is coming out this year so be sure to check for that.
Locksmith – Illuminati (Video)
No days off for Locksmith. The man is on to his next project, Labyrinth, dropping in March. Illuminati is a great song in my opinion. The video is really well done. It’s definitely my favorite so far of this young 2012.
“He says we praise Azazel, and annually meet a Bilderberg” Damn.
Locksmith – Devil’s Lasso (prod. by Ski Beatz)
Another dope joint given the visual treatment from the Embedded project which is dropping November 15th. This is going to be a must cop project this year. The more I hear from Locksmith, the more I believe his name needs to be mentioned along with game’s illest emcees. I mean this guy is just nasty with his flow and wordplay.
Locksmith – Breaking Point (Video)
One of my favorite emcees reppin’ the West Coast. Locksmith has that unique blend of ill lyricism, keen observation, and edginess. He reminds me a little bit of Ras Kass on how he appeals to a very diverse audience. Breaking Point comes off of his Free EP, I AM LOCK, which you can download here. Be on the lookout for his collaborative LP with SKIBEATZ entitled, Embedded. That drops on November 15th.
