Notes:

I am going to start featuring one album from the previous week every Monday because there is so much good music that I believe is going unheard.   And this album from French producer, Astro Vandalist,  is something that you guys need to be made aware of.  It’s 17 tracks of unadulterated and potent hip hop.  The beats really hit hard and you can see by this lineup of emcees that there are some heavy hitters on here.

Check out and cop the whole thing as it is worth every penny, but here are my favorite tracks if you want a sampling!

Single You Out: Kyo Itachi x Ruste Juxx – Samurai Sushi

New single from Kyo Itachi’s forthcoming album, Genkidama, featuring oft-collaborator Ruste Juxx. These two, over the course of the last couple of years and two projects, have really honed in on a sound. Itachi intermingles the strings with the drums while Juxx lets off his sixteen without fear and remorse.

There are high hopes for this project. Itachi has become one of the top producers in the game and the project is laden with heavy lyrical hitters.

Note:

If I understand the story correctly, producer Endemic Emerald and emcee Skanks The Rap Martyr of Bankai Fam met each four years ago in NYC and there began a mutual respect for each other’s talents. This album, Rapsploitation, is culmination of that admiration and it is us, the fans that reap the benefit.

Jake Palumbo – Exoskeleton (ft. Ruste Juxx & Tek of Smif-N-Wessun) (Video)

I forget what cut I heard Jake Palumbo rock on that made me check for him, but here he is with a new cut/video, Exoskeleton, off of his new album, Jake It Till You Make It.   This track is tough featuring heavy hitters Ruste Juxx and Tek.   I copped the album but haven’t given it a full listen, but given the strength of this cut and some of his guest shots, I am expecting a win.

Single You Out: Endemic Emerald – Crown Royale (ft. Ruste Juxx, Kasim Allah & Top Notch)

This is a new joint from Endemic Emerald’s forthcoming offering, Black Bag Operation.  Emerald has become somewhat of a specialist with that soulful boom bap flavor.  The track has those snapping snares but a well placed vocal sample for some added depth.  I really have not heard him do wrong behind the boards.  Adding their flows to the joint are Ruste Juxx and Kasim Allah.  So you know you have that hardbody flavor.
