Here is the first video single from Reef The Lost Cause’s next album, The Majestic. Stay Golden offers what you have come to expect from Reef over the years. He’s got those sharp bars and a knack for formulating them into some ill verses. He does just that over some production from Caliph-NOW.
Single You Out: Reef The Lost Cause – The Righteous (ft. Planet Asia & Skrewtape) (Produced By Bear One)
Oh these guys are dropping it heavy! Reef, Planet Asia, and Skrewtape are firing off heat rocks that your iTunes may not be able to handle. These flows are intense with both delivery and content and the beat from Bear One is just a little vicious. Enjoy this!

Note:
I can’t think of an album in recent memory that was this long that maintained this much consistency as does God’s Will from William Cooper. When listening to this album you will notice a cohesiveness you typically don’t associate with a project of this length. In my mind that’s just one of the things that makes this album special. There are so many individual components that contribute to making this album a must listen so let’s take a look at some of those finer points.
Single You Out: William Cooper – True-N-Livin’ Nightmares (ft Reef The Lost Cauze & Sticky Fingaz) (prod. by BP)
William Cooper unleashes the first single for his upcoming album, God’s Will, which drops on May 5th. On this track, Cooper, Reef The Lost Cauze, and Sticky Fingaz deliver bars of stark realism to dash your day dreams over a powerful beat by BP.

Note:
Some albums ease a listener into the moment, while others grab you by the throat and demand your attention. Righteous Fury, the most recent album from Matt Maddox, is going to fall in the latter category. From the instant you hear the first cut. you are both engaged and threatened by what you hear. You are threatened because, from the jump, you find out that Maddox is not going to be mincing words and he will name names of those siting on the pedestals. He has thrown ‘today’s hip hop’ on it’s head and as a listener you can not remove the headphones, you become obligated to listen to this release from start to finish.
Single You Out: Reef The Lost Cauze – Power Moves (ft. Masta Ace & Jaysaun) (Prod By Psych Major)
Reef The Lost Cauze collabs with Masta Ace and Jaysaun for the banger Power Moves. I am not sure what project this joint is destined for but it certainly bangs. Any time I see Jaysaun providing guest bars, I know the joint is about to get bodied. The man has no soft verses. Psych Major on the beat. Enjoy!
Esoteric & Stu Bangas – Ease Up (ft. Planetary, Reef the Lost Cauze & Blacastan) (Official Video)
New video off of Estoeric and Stu Bangas’ upcoming album, Machete Mode. The album is available for preorder on itunes right now and is slated to drop on November 26th. This particular cut has a tag team battle taking place over some ill Stu Bangas’ production. It’s Planetary and Blacastan taking on Reef and Esoteric. You decide the victor!
Reef the Lost Cauze – Massive Your High (Video)
It’s trippy…trippy. Who knew that Reef The Lost Cause was dropping a project this year? I sure did not. This joint is off the new record entitled Reef The Lost Cause Is Dead. The dope production comes courtesy of Caliph-NOW. Really nice work there. Can’t wait to hear more! New record dropping on Christmas, so while my kid is unwrapping Christmas gifts…I can be DLing dope music!

Note:
Today I bring you something entirely different type of project. The Broken Love is unlike anything I have reviewed or heard before, which is actually very refreshing. The first thing that comes to mind when I heard this project for the first time is the word taboo. I felt like was reading a blacklisted book that I was told never to touch or like Adam and Eve when they touched the forbidden tree in the Garden Of Eden. Is that too melodramatic? Perhaps. But I want you to understand, in no uncertain terms, how unique this album is.
