Don’t Sleep On These New Hip Hop Releases
Insomniac Magazine’s Weekly Top Ten is back again and we never plan on slowing down! We’ve been telling the world about quality Hip Hop since 1996 and beyond. Check out all the highlights on the latest top ten list below!
1) The legendary CHUCK D reminds listeners why he’s one of the greatest to ever do the damn thang as he links up with heavy hitters, BISHOP LAMONT, & MYKILL MIERS on “I Rap Black!” The incendiary mega heater featuring Create & the late, great Devastate is powered by an infectious Max I Million soundscape that shatters speakers with its revolutionary rhythms! Don’t be fooled by the tomfoolery & clownish nature of the industry. Crash the stocks of the corporations & keep REAL Hip Hop alive!!!
2) ROYCE DA 5’9″ serves another helping of flawless rhymes down the throats of the competition on the !llmind & Frank Dukes produced, “Stay Woke!” The “Book Of Ryan” banger features a compelling hook from Ashley Sorrell & heavy duty boom bap to blow your brains into the next century! Royce will smoke ya with his vocals! All you have to do is PRESS PLAY!
3) SHOWBIZ & AG laugh in the faces of all the small-minded people who try to block their path on “Means Nothing 2 Me!” The boom bap masterpiece finds AG reflecting on his difficult but ultimately rewarding journey toward success as minimalist instrumentation & soothing sounds of an angelic chorus lull us into tranquility! Haters can’t slow you down when you possess an insatiable will to achieve!
4) CODENINE & MR ROSE link up with DANIEL SON on “Matroyshka Doll” for some “9 Roses” heat! The smell of success is in the air as the lyricists live the high life while dropping jewels on the mic! The competition is strugglin’…but that’s what they get for steppin’ up to battle. Watch all naysayers fall by the wayside. Codenine & Daniel Son breeze right by ’em in a Fleetwood Coupe de Ville.
5) SMOKE DZA joins forces with DOM KENNEDY & COZZ for a Girl Talk laced gem called “The Hook Up!” The “Not For Sale” sonic treat serves up syrupy smooth rhythms with a funky beat & ill flows you won’t be able to resist! Let’s rule the world & get these bluenotes! While you’re at it, check out the dope joint below!
6) ALIANO & JAKK WONDERS “Make It Clear” they’re here to stay with the duo’s latest banger from “The Originz!” The crew ain’t playin’! In fact, they’re all about business as they hit listeners with breakneck barz & a non-stop onslaught of boom bap! Prepare to have your mind blown back! Aliano & Jakk Wonders are comin’ thru!!!
7) CERTAIN ONES deliver poisonous ideas & presumptuous assumptions on their horrific new heater, “Ghoulies!” Delicious Demons, BOBBY CRAVES, MORTXGRIM, and GREEN DUTCH are on the check-in for this colossal creepfest that will infiltrate your dreams & make you relive your worst nightmare. If you ain’t wit’this y’all can go & eat a goblin! Have a s***ty day & check out the crew below!
8) SULLY NOMAD revs up the action on the Chup The Producer powered banger, “The Gear Box!” Ain’t nothin’ nice as the lyricist spits venom over a rock-fueled soundscape that threatens to rip your speakers apart! Muthaf***as betta listen! Don’t make Sully put the gun in plainview!!!
9) CERTAIN.ONES prove once again that they’re light years ahead of the competition on “tha Beyonder!” BOBBY CRAVES, DALI, FORTIFIED MIND, and FREON take us into the future with superior verses & soundscapes that will be appreciated by both humans & androids alike! The crew has NEVER dropped a wack track so we’re CERTAIN you’ll love this one too!
10) $HA HEF leads listeners into a quick descent to Hell with the dark, sinister vibes of the AntwonC33 laced “3rd Grade!” It takes a certain amount of genius to create something this unapologetically evil while still delivering the kind of high quality bars & beats required to sell the whole experience! This Bronx n***a’s got more than just a box cutter in his lunchbox. He’s got serious skills!!!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
