Single You Out: Goldini Bagwell – Read All About It (ft. Iame, OnlyOne, and Illmaculate)

It’s so good to hear a few Sandpeople brethren on a track together.   Read All About It has epic written all over it with Pmpee giving the track a very regal production.  That seems appropriate when you have this NorthWest royalty blessing the track.   The blending of styles on this joint is pretty damn amazing (as it is always).   Such divergent flows and styles and they always come out sounding vintage!

Goldini Bagwell’s new EP, Secondhand Smoke – The Extended Cut drops June 24th but you can pre-order an assortment of packages right now.

 

OnlyOne & 9DM EP (2013)

ONLYONE AND 9DM - ALBUM COVER

 

This EP is probably flying pretty low on the radar but I am about to bring truth to the light so to speak.  Anything OnlyOne puts out gets posted on the regular here on HHD.  We also featured 9DM here a couple of years ago with his collaboration with Lawz Spoken,  You’ll Never Be Famous.  That project was impressive.   This one is equally so.  It’s short, sweet, and FREE.  You’ve also got dope production from Hippie Sabotage and Chase Moore.   OnlyOne and 9DM are vets in the battle scene and they bring that combative element to their music as well.   Their lyrics do not compromise and they hit opponents and listeners the same…mercilessly.  The two soundlcoud singles are below although my favorite tracks from the project are the last two:  Robbed A Bank and Stole A Car.   The production on those songs are exceptional.  

If you enjoy Sandpeople music or are a fan of these artists on the battle circuit you should download this.  You can get it HERE

OnlyOne – Cult Classic 2 (2013)

Artist: OnlyOne

Album: Cult Classic 2

Tracklisting:

Note:

No.  I haven’t listened to it all yet.  I just saw it was available and immediately wanted to share it with you.   The three singles that were released earlier and OnlyOne’s previous works alone merit that you download this FREE release.   So stop hemming and hawing and get this one on are your hard drive immediately.   I will do a more proper write up later, but for now just enjoy the music.

 

Single You Out: OnlyOne – Counter Intelligence (ft. IAME and Goldini Bagwell)

a0457327628_2

Cult Classic 2 is slated to drop on August 20th.  I can’t wait.   This track showcases not OnlyOne’s business but also that of Sandpeople cohorts, IAME and Goldini Bagwell.  It’s dope through and through, but the beat by  THNDRTHF is certainly worth noting.  It mixes clashing symbols and a diverse amount of electronica.  It lends the necessary amount of paranoia to the song.

OnlyOne – OnlyOne x Furtado Yuen Vol. 2 (2013)

Artist: OnlyOne

Album: OnlyOne x Furtado Yuen Vol. 2

Tracklisting:

Note:

I hate to beat a dead horse here but when are people going to fully appreciate what OnlyOne can do on the mic?  To quote from his previous project with Furtado Yuen…he’s “so professional”.  I am not going to do a full review of this EP, but I did want to let you know that it dropped and hit some highlights.

Furtado Yuen and OnlyOne have cooked up some good chemistry in the lab and it’s only natural that they breathe life into another musical endeavor.  Yuen’s style is based on a lot of electronic rhythms and bass.  It comes across really powerful with OnlyOne’s deliberate cadence and delivery.  His pen game is exceptional. I like the whole EP, but the first three cuts are the strongest with the aforementioned Monster’s Ink being the showstopper.

The project is free but if you like good music, you should contribute.  Let artists know that you appreciate their efforts.  I say drop $5 in their pockets and let them know that Hip Hop Dependency sent you.
