Blacastan and Stu Bangas are all but set to release their new album next week, The Uncanny Adventures Of Watson And Holmes. And this song definitely sets the tone for the release. Stu Bangas really has developed some sickness from behind the boards on this one. The bass line…guitar licks…with the drums is premier stuff. Blacastan delivers his bars like a hell hound. He’s got firey bars and owns this rhythm.
Can’t wait to see what’s on tap with this album.
I didn’t realize that Blacastan and Stu Bangas had an album in the works (Watson and Holmes). For their first offering, Nubian Metal, it’s an AOTP reunion of sorts with Vinnie Paz and Celph Titled jumping on the track. It’s more of what you have come to expect from the team: that hard-body hip hop. It’s not my favorite track out at the moment, but it still knocks with the best of them.
The album drops July 29th.
I am typically not a fan of montage/mashup videos but this one for Steel Chairs had me feeling a bit nostalgic. I grew up watching the likes of Arn and Oli Anderson and the Four Horsemen so this video took me back. I hadn’t thought about any of those names in a long while. And lets not forget to mention that the music from Esoteric and Stu Bangas is prime choice. Make sure you peep their new album, Machete Mode.
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!
Video single off of Esoteric and Stu Bangas’ forthcoming album, Machete Mode. Part of the AOTP gang joins Esoteric on the cut in the form of Vinnie Paz, Celph Titled, and Apathy. It incorporates a favorite Walter White turn of phrase from the now officially ended TV show, Breaking Bad. Check it!
HHD is proud to debut this video for, Ticking Timebomb. We’ve been talking about Big O on HHD for a year now at least. Lets get the word out regarding this talent coming out of Cleveland, Ohio. He’s offering a different sound than the Midwest might be known for typically. He’s got a punishing technique and delivery that is only amplified when you combine his talents with that of, Stu Bangas.
“You spit raps like you want to spoon or cuddle..” Haha. Ain’t that the truth! If you want the raw and uncut, and a break from the fru-fru, then this joint is for you.
Big O’s LP, Gravel Engagement, entirely produced by 4th Assassin is dropping this summer.
Second single of the day from Stu Bangas forthcoming album, Straight Death 2 this time featuring the incomparable Spit Gemz. Anyone think this album, will NOT knock? I didn’t think so.
This is the first of two singles I will be posting today from Stu Bangas’ Straight Death 2 project which is set to drop digitally on April 8th, and heck that ain’t too far away to get your hands on some audio dope.
Pretty much the title says it all: This joint is a dark banger that is meant to beat you upside the head.
N.B.S. team up with long time collaborator Blacastan, and producer Stu Bangas for this joint. N.B.S. have been going at the microphone for years and continually bring heat. It’s about time they get their due. Their new album, The Dispensary, is filled with joint this good or better so I encourage you to pick this up.
New joint from the duo known as Outerspace. The production can be credited to Stu Bangas. This is the type of joint you have come to expect from the pair. They consistently rock over banging production with edgy, street tested rhyme schemes.
