Single You Out: Drink Radio & Worms Ali – Worthwhile (ft. Wordsworth)

Would you like to listen to something off the beaten path and different yet rooted in hip hop? If you are a little tired of the mundane, I present to you this new project from producer Drink Radio of Australia and emcee Worms Ali. It takes ALOT these days to craft something of a different flavor in hip hop that does not sound indecent. Usually if an artist steps “outside of the box” or tries something avant garde it comes off as “weird” and undigestable. But Drink Radio and Worms Ali, did the near impossible with their release, Blackholes & Souls.

I think this is one of the best releases of the year in my most humble opinion. Drink Radio fuses some great musical elements for this project for Worms Ali to paint his lyrical pictures. And we also have some amazing guest spots with Blu appearing several times, and Planet Asia to name a few, but the track I choose to feature is Worthwhile featuring an impressive sixteen from Wordsworth. It’s interesting and thought provoking.

If you truly want some new flava in your ear, check this out and spread the word!

Single You Out: Poe Mack – Their World (ft. Wordsworth, Dee Up, and Tone Spliff (prod. by Van Gunz)

When Virginia drops the dope…the Dependency is posting, and there is no better representation of VA talent than Poe Mack. And…I didn’t even need to look at the credits to see that Van Gunz produced this joint I chose to share…Their World. Van Gunz is bringing the end of the world on this epic sounding track, and you have Poe Mack delivering a salvo of dope bars alongside, Wordsworth and Dee Up. Tone Spliff also on the scratches, which mean it shall not miss!

Off of the new album, Rap For The Rent.

Stu Bangas & Wordsworth – Mother Of My Kids (Video)

Stu Bangas and Wordsworth just released a project on Friday called, Two Kings. I copped it. I loved it. Stu Bangas has been crafting project after project over the course of the last several years. He’s got so many dope releases with so many dope emcees. But this could be my favorite. Wordsworth, while not recently prolific in his releases, has ALWAYS remained the consummate emcee. His conversational style and his way of narrating stories and concepts plays so well with Stu’s beats. And you can hear that trade craft here as he talks to his estranged spouse. Great song. Great album.

Single You Out: Wordworth x Sam Brown – Hero (ft. Last Emperor)

Wordsworth links up with The Last Emperor for the single, Hero, off of the forthcoming album, Our World Today. The album is Wordsworth’s collaboration with producer Sam Brown. This track musically sounds like a blend of 80s electronica and boom bap hip hop. There’s just something unique about the pulsing synth when combine with the sample that’s being used in the chorus. And who better for Wordsworth to team up with with for a track like this other than The Last Emp who is known for his Secret Wars cuts from the early 2000s?

Album dropping August 11th.

eMC – Charly Murphie (Video)

I have already talked about the song itself.  The video is pretty straight forward.  It’s four incredibly talented emcees rocking over the boom bap version of Three Blind Mice.  It get’s no realer!

…you don’t really want to get into a place, where you learn what the five fingers said to the face…” – Masta Ace

The Turning Point drops on May 20th.  You know that you are feeling it!

Single You Out: Reckonize Real – Shattered Dreams (ft. Wordsworth)

Shattered Dreams Big

Well, I had to get out of dodge for a moment so I am about a week and a half delayed in posting some things.  This particular track is coming from Queens, NYC producer, Reckonize Real.  The track is a single off of his forthcoming album, Dopamine, and features the much talented and respected emcee, Wordsworth.  It’s smoothed out from top to bottom.  A combination of introspective lyricism and mellow vibes.  I hope you enjoy.
