It’s a “Blue Shell Theory” but you don’t need to speculate about Chuck N Lock bringin’ the heat. The joint is dope & that’s pure fact!
7) FLASHIUS CLAYTON & LISAAN’DRO are packin’ KNUCKLE SANDWICH DELI heat so powerful it could take out the entire neighborhood! “Yosemite Sambo” announces itself with confident rhymes and a triumphant Chop powered soundscape that lets you know the crew didn’t come to play! Ain’t no room for game time. All you’re getting is pure savagery. They’re gonna provoke a war. Y’all better start running!
8) CERTAIN.ONES have been devouring wack rappers for ages! Now the crew grind up the negative energy from the no talent turds to create a positively exceptional DJ EVI DENZ laced treat called “Snack CaXXes!” REIGN SUPREME & BOBBY CRAVES spit that toxic while “cursin’ up a storm just for the hell of it!” Actually they keep it clean but the intensity of their delivery’s so raw you’ll feel like they smacked you up & sent you to your room for punishment! Serves you right for listening to lesser emcees. All the heat you need’s right here!
9) AL DIVINO & ESTEE NACK slaughter emcees like executioners up in this bitch with a bonus joint from the “DumpGawd: Divino Edition Volume 1” vinyl LP! “Rawfi” peers deep into your eyes while ripping the heart out your chest! The FXCK RXP RXCXRDS release laced by Steve Cool is adorned with ill synths, an off beat sonic backdrop, “scrambled eggs” vinyl pops & the creme de la creme of lyricism! Al & Estee are masters of this Hip Hop s**t! Nod your head to this & keep it RAW!
10) What crew will forever remain at the upper echelon of the Hip Hop underground? Y’all shouldn’t even have to think…It’s the CERTAIN.ONES for “Pete’s Sake!” THE WIZ, BOBBY CRAVES, FERAL SERGE & FORTIFIED MIND get back to fundamentals as they become one with DJ EVI DENZ’s stellar sonic offering. The group conjure serious Cold Crush vibes with old school routines teleported via time machine to modern times. Check out the action and get down with the team!
