Single You Out: M-Dot – Today (ft. E.M.S.)

MD2020-WORK-CD-SIZE-PART-2-500X500

 

This song just made my week.  No matter what happens the rest of the week, this song from M-Dot and company is a major win!  The bass line on this jawn made my neck sore.   And the flows…my god the flows, were impeccable.  M-Dot can stay silent for months and then drop a gem like this and instantly remind us of his greatness.  And I meant to use that word…great.  He has a really sophisticated way with words when rocking the mic. The jam definitely has an old school appeal but easily something I could see getting some universal love.

Jake LaDOTta drops for free tomorrow and may knock some of these end of the year lists on their heads.  Check back at DJ Booth for the good word…

Single You Out: Es-K – Reminisce (ft. MC Dialect, Charmingly Ghetto, M-Dot, & S.Dub) (Chromadadata Remix)

A lot of dope smooth joints have released in the last week or so.   This one was forwarded by the EMS crew and after a long delay, I wanted to share it with you.  There’s a lot of introspective bars in this joint while the production instructs you to lean back and maybe reminisce about someone you once lost or a time gone past.  We all do that from time to time so make sure you take this track as an opportunity.

If you are really feeling this joint and want to check out more, Es-K just dropped his album, Serenity.

Top 50 Songs (2013)

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!

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: 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.
