Friday Feature: illMEASURED – Thought You Knew (w/ UllNevaNo)

illMEASURED is a producer out of the DMV area that I have been checking for since DAY ONE.   Ever since I heard some of his production off of the Rome Cee album, The Grey Area, I new that this guy was hidden talent that just needed more exposure to his craft.  The man can create productions that range from jazzy and laid back to those boom-bap bangers we all  know and crave.  He is as exceptional as he is diverse.  So every Friday throughout the month of September we are going to be looking at new and old and projects from this producer to showcase his talents.

For this week’s installment, I present to you a recent cut illMEASURED produced for another HHD mainstay, UllNevaNo.   The cut is called Thought You Knew.  This song is a great demonstration of how illMEASURED intermingles so many different sounds to create the perfect track.  The horns, the vocal sample, and the scratching is a definitive hip hop moment.  It’s easy to hear why he is being featured here in just under four and a half minutes.  It certainly doesn’t hurt that UllNevaNo more than owns up to his end of the bargain by dropping bar after bar of heat.

Enjoy…

Azma Da Instigator – Let Me Show You (ft. Planet Asia and Phil Da Agony)

Truthfully, these are some of the most distinct voices in the game right now.  You definitely know who’s who when Planet Asia and Phil Da Agony start spitting bars.  But don’t sleep on Azma.  I bought his new album, Thought You Knew, and that joint bangs.  It’s loaded with great guests (as you can see) and he more than holds his own on the mic.  The guy really has a voice to emcee, so if you like this joint check out the album.
