Damn. This is the very definition of a ‘banger’. Ayden has these drums banging hard and Famoso and Shaz Illyork do not fail to deliver some of that indelible NYC flavor. I love this material.
This is off of Famoso’s forthcoming project, Tales From Tha Dopeside.
This is a release that has crept up on me because I don’t even know who Silent Someone is. But now I have a better idea after checking out this tight production. The somber vocal sample combined with those drums is a nice twist. I also like how the beat alternates every so often giving it a different sound and an appeal. Lyrically, Shaz Illyork, El Da Sensei, and Oktober Zero pay homage to the art of graffiti and do so properly.
Silent Someone’s new album, I Have Company is due any day so just keep your eyes peeled.
I haven’t see too many people talking about this track as of yet, so lets’s fix that, shall we? I mean, shit, it’s Illyork, and his wordplay never disappoints. The handiwork on the production comes courtesy of Bea2ooth.
This is one of the tightest cuts off of Shaz Illyork’s Deadstock Revival. The Illyorker is joined by Nems, Nutso, Poison Pen, and Danse Daimons for this track. Those emcees, my readers, are some of the hardest rhymers doing it. Be sure to check out the album if you have not already.
I don’t have time for a full review of these EPs but I really find it necessary to showcase the material in these two pieces. I think they have gone largely unnoticed and they are too dope not to give a fair listen.
The Grim Reaperz are a production team out of France. (Yes, I know…France is killin’ it right now when it comes to production.) Too rock over their heavy hitting productions they have enlisted the likes of RA The Rugged Man, Bekay, Shaz Illyork, Reks, Diabolic, King Magnetic, and a slew of other dope artists.
So if you are a fan of any or all these artists, I am sure that you will dig these EPs. Vol. 1 dates back to July 2012 while Vol. 2 just dropped within the last month or so. Enjoy…and cop if you like what you hear.
Alright, Deadstock Revival has a release date! It’s dropping on June 4th which is just under a month away. I can’t wait for that. We have heard one strong cut after another and this is no exception. Be on the lookout for Shaz Illyork…
This is yet another dope banger that you can find off DJ Low Cut’s France’s Finest NY Minute project. The beat is reworked by the Grim Reaperz and of course the verbals are by Queen’s own, Shaz Illyork. If you don’t own this project yet, you should cop it now. Loads of dope tracks.
Let the horns blow! It’s like a call to war on this track. Some of my favorite emcees gathered for this remix to Shaz Illyork’s Chopper. We got Nems, Poison Pen, Nutso, and Danse Daimons. I am not familiar with the latter artist but the former gentlemen are certified body bag rhymers. I was particularly impressed with Poison Pen’s bars. I haven’t heard him in a long while and he sounded certified fresh on this joint. I can’t wait to get my hands on Illyork’s Deadstock Revival.
Morgue music.
I heard you like ill posse cuts, well guess what we have here? Yeah this what happens when The Opposition and FYL team up on a track. The body count just rises. George Black cooks up a dark symphony for our emcees to spit lava rock over. This is yet more illness from Shaz Illyork’s upcoming, Deadstock Revival.
It’s a good week when we get tracks from both Spit Gemz and Shaz Illyork. The Opposition is in full effect. This track is off of Illyork’s upcoming project, Deadstock Revival. This song is certainly dope but we expect no less at this point. Golden Child is responsible for sounding the horns…
