Single You Out: Hus Kingpin & Rozewood – Murder For Hire (ft. Little Vic)

I saw the team of Hus Kingpin and Rozewood linked up again for a project for which I was very excited. Rozewood just recently came back on the scene and that alone is a blessing, and to rejoin Hus is a double tap headshot. But…little did I know…I must have missed it initially…they brought on the hitter Little Vic for a guest spot on the track , Murder For Hire. That’s three verbal executioners on one track where the lyricism of each is front and center. I just had to share with you. Make sure you check out the album, WAVE GHXST if you enjoy this joint. Yakic Pasla on the production!

Single You Out: Ante Meridian – Nat King Cobra

 ante

Rozewood and Mr. Enok team up to form the Ante Meridian.  They have a project launching this month.  The 25th to be exact, entitled Sons Of Heaven.  I think it goes without saying after you hear this track that you know the whole album will be fire.

I have heard a couple of joints and it has all been flawless.  I mean 5 out of 5 type ish.  These guys are just catching bodies with these vibes, they are burying you in their backyard!  Pure fire.

Note:

This is one of those reviews that I was trying to get done weeks ago and then the sickness set in and I wasn’t really good for anything.  But here I am in reasonable health to let you know about this project Rozewood concocted at the end of 2012. Rozewood you may remember had a project reviewed over a year ago entitled Neon Paradise.  That was a really solid album.

Single You Out: Hus Kingpin x Rozewood – High Rises (Manu Remix)

mori-tower-007

I am violating a cardinal rule by throwing this cut up today.  I only put five a day on max (usually) but this time I had to be flexible with the rule.  This track is too good not to share.

Hus Kingpin and Rozewood are lacing this track some of that atypical illness found these days.  I particular feel the flow of Rozewood with the fiery delivery.  But the whole vibe of the song made me want to rise up!

This joint can be found on the forthcoming collaborative project from the two entitled, $100Taper.

Note:

I first became familiar with Rozewood a little over a year ago when I heard the cut, Prelude To A Funeral, off of his 2012 release.  I really loved that cut and I have been listening to this emcee ever since.

Now to project at hand:  Neon Paradise is a unique project because I feel like the the production and the emcee are divergent.  What I mean by that is for the most part, the production throughout the album is laid back, subtle, and sometimes muted.  Typically you would think that type of style would favor a laid back emcee, but Rozewood bucks that notion.  He has a powerful delivery that is reminiscent of KGR.   The production and the emcee really wind up gelling well on the album. He bodies the beat numerous times on this album.
