OnlyOne and Illmaculate are back at it and knifing through this ill production from Chase Moore. The pairing has always been one of the most formidable in hip hop and it’s great to see them bringing in 2015 the right way. OnlyOne still remains one of our favorite wordsmiths on the site and on this song you can see why…Can’t wait to hear the full project.
Single You Out: Goldini Bagwell – Climb Trees
This is some new Goldini Bagwell from his recently announced, Smoker’s Jacket series. He will be dropping a new single on the 14th of every month. This production from Dalton Jay gives Bagwell a lot of room to breathe and lends itself to creative license.
Stay tuned for more dope.
Goldini Bagwell – Say Anything (Video)
Goldini Bagwell is anything but ordinary, as a matter of fact, he may be the most artistic emcees I have ever come across. That artistry comes across in his music and in these videos. In all honesty, I didn’t know what was happeneing until the very end, so a credit to the director and the artist on this one. Really brilliant work. Easily a candidate for video of the year.
If you dug this song, make sure you check out the entire album, produced by Pmpee, Secondhand Smoke (The Extended Cut).

Note:
This is not a review of any sort. This is just ‘us’ letting ‘you’ know that this available now. Bagwell is a favorite and a mainstay on HHD and it’s only fitting for me to encourage you to go pick this up. 90% of the music coming out these days, you have heard before. There’s a lot of the same old cafeteria cooking going on in the lab these days. But when something unique comes out, we’ve got to support. Bagwell is among a very minute population of artists who consistently gives us quality of a different ilk and always makes it fresh for the fans. So make sure you cop from the Bandcamp page now and check back here later, when I will have more time to do an official review!
Goldini Bagwell – Desire Is… (Video)
I am just going to go ahead and say it as I see it: Every year Goldini Bagwell drops an album, you are guaranteed to get a Top Ten track for the year from the project, and this one very well might be that joint for 2014. Bagwell is just the type of artist whose flow sometimes just defies description. It’s mesmerizing at times. It’s even moreso on this joint because the beat and the vocals are simply hypnotic leaving me the listener entrances by the song. The video is produced by cohort Sapient and he did an excellent job with the visuals and transitions.
The album drops next week so…take that!
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.
Single You Out: Goldini Bagwell – Feeling Good
Heaven Noise came through as promised with the new Goldini Bagwell single, Feeling Good. It’s music to sit back and chill too with laid back synthesized production. Shoot, I felt my burdened lightened after just one listen. Bagwell’s new album, Secondhand Smoke (The Extended Cut) is due out on June 24th which incidentally feels like a long time.
Illmaculate – Woodstock (ft. OnlyOne) (Video)
Fresh off Illmaculate’s Clay Pigeons album comes a little protest music. Woodstock is about utilizing the power of music to stage a protest right on the White House lawn. All Illmac and OnlyOne want is to have their freedoms guaranteed and not trifled with. It’s that vintage Sandpeople sound…
Single You Out: Illmaculate – Trainspotting
Another joint off of Illmaculate’s yet to be released Clay Pigeons EP. This time we have long time affiliate, Chase Moore offering his services as producer. I love the keys Moore uses in his production and Illmaculate is just such a well-polished emcee that you just expect the good stuff…and that’s what we get.
Single You Out: Illmaculate – Do Not Disturb (prod. by Chase Moore)
Are you kept in the comfort of your conformity? Do you feel safe in your ignorance? Does too much knowledge bother you and it’s easier to be stuck on stupid? If you answered yes to any of these questions then DO NOT listen to this song. It will surely give you anxiety. Illmaculate knows that most of you are comfortable in the ‘pretend’ world and he’s anxious to rattle your cage over this Chase Moore beat. This is the lead single to his new album coming out in March, Clay Pigeons.
