Single You Out: uMaNg & B.B.Z Darney – Return 2 The Classics (ft. Shabaam Sahdeeq)

I know a lot of people may not be familiar with the combination of emcee uMaNg and B.B.Z. Darney but rest assured their chemistry has been proven again and again over the years. Darney I feel is one of the most unheralded producers this age. He doesn’t drop in large quantities but when you hear his beats you are reminded about how gifted he is behind the boards. That also coincides with UManG’s modus operandi: The man has one of the sharpest tongues in the game, you just don’t hear it as much. All that said, when they DO release…it’s special. The chemistry is prevalent, and they are rooted in this hip hop music. On Return 2 The Classics…they colloaborate with the right emcee…Shabaam Sahdeeq, who knows a things or two about penning a gem. The result is you get something celebratory in witty lyricism and innovative production.

They have a new (older?) album coming soon so don’t sleep!

A really dope song off of uMaNg’s latest album, The Black Rose Certificate. B.B.Z. Darney delivers amazing flavor with this beat and every song on the album is produced of the same caliber.  And uMaNg?   This guy is microphone phenomenal.  His verses are well construed and thought out.   This album is certainly in the top ten from this year.  No question.   Be sure to check it out.

Watch and recognize that true lyricism is still alive and well today.  My inbox is 90% of the time a dreary wasteland comprised of cookie cutter emcees rocking over less than stellar recycled rhythms but uMaNg and B.B.Z. Darney are offering us something different.  The production is potent in it’s rawness and uMaNg gives us a true demonstration of not only what it is to be an emcee but also a rhyme writer extraordinaire.

We are all on notice that his album, The Black Rose Certificate, is dropping November 25th.
