Review:

M-Dot is consistently featured on the site because he personifies what this site is about. It’s hard work, dedication, perseverance, and an uncompromising talent. Lots of trends and artists have come and gone in the last decade plus, meanwhile M-Dot is here with Daze Of Greed, showing once again that his way is the only way he walks.

M-Dot – You and You (ft. Revalation) (prod. by M-Phazes (Video)

M-Dot and Revalation team up for some good chemistry on a funky production from none other than M-Phazes! It’s been a minute since I have heard some new production from M-Phazes and this is some definite feel-good hip-hop music. And while M-Dot’s last album had some very serious tones in it, this joint has that levity and lyrical fire power that just makes you crack a smile. 

New album, Daze Of Greed dropping within a couple months time!

Note:

I really want to close out 2013, but I can not do so without cranking out one more review for a very dope album.  The first thing heads will notice about the album Daes & Times is the production credits.  There are some heavyweight names creating beats for One Dae.  When listeners see names like Statik Selektah, Marco Polo, Analogic, Domingo, and M-Phazes, they are bound to pay attention.  But as the man, Mike Zoot once said “a wack rhymer can kill a raw beat”.  In this case the opposite is true: One Dae accentuates what these beatsmiths provide making this album memorable.

Awar – Soul Caliber (Video)

I am not sure what project this will be on.  I will try to find out.  It has been a long time since I have heard some new Awar music and I am anxious to hear a new album.  This cut doesn’t help me with anticipation.   This track and video fall in the beyond real category.  The story to this track is definitely something for folks to feel. The track is produced by the venerable M-Phazes.  Stay tuned for more music from Awar.
