Single You Out: Joey the Jerk – Winning the War (ft. Playdough)

“…we may have lost the battle but we’re winning the war…”

True indeed fellas because this track is fire!  I love the wordplay exchanges between Joey the Jerk and Playdough on this cut, Winning the War.  The production really has a playful but certainly dope vibe to it.  There’s a certain irony to the title of this song when compared to the content.  Usually when you see a track entitled this, you would expect rough and confrontational rhymes, but what you get is much more vibrant which again shows that these guys are winning with their approach, not with someone elses.

PLAYDOUGH – King Of Queens (Video)

Playdough is one of the most searched artists on this site.  His previous album, Hot Doggin’, gets a ton of love from fans.

This song is coming off his new project dropping on 10/22 entitled Writer Dye: Deux or Die.  This track is one half Queen/Run DMC montage and one half hip hop but entirely dope.  I enjoy Playdough’s style.  He’s a unique artist who’s not afraid to take some artistic chances.

Note:

When I caught wind of this album I didn’t really embrace the listening opportunity with open arms. It sat in my hard drive for quite a while but then I heard the lead single from the album, My Cadillac, and my disposition changed. That is a really fun hip hop song. Fun hip hop hasn’t been en vogue for quite sometime and this song is very distinct. From that launching point I started playing the album and from the jump I could tell that this artist was going to be a breath of fresh air for my Itunes.

Playdough – My Cadillac

I love this cut.  The sample work is ill and I have always enjoyed Deepspace5 releases.  This is no exception.   The album Hotdoggin is out now, and it is damn good.  I hope I have a chance to review it soon but maybe you can take my word for it?  Alright, you are cynical, I can understand that.  You can stream Playdough’s album on his Bandcamp page and if you feel it, then you vcan give him $10 to support but for now enjoy this dope single.
