Don’t Sleep On These New Releases
Insomniac Magazine fuels the fire for an underground renaissance of epic proportions! Prepare to tap in to the Weekly Top Ten!!!
1) RANSOM, CONWAY THE MACHINE, LLOYD BANKS & V DON dig the competitions’ grave on a macabre mega thriller called “Higher Killer!!!” The electrifying audio heater elicits shock & awe from the audience-at-large with its “take no prisoners” approach to lyricism!!! The relentless rhythms reverberate in your brain while opps who crossed the line will never be seen again!!!
2) DANIEL SON was born to extort the niche market on smooth s**t crafted by FINN called “Talon Claw!!!” The “Hare Brained Schemes” heater got us so excited we were doing backflips in the nearest dojo to get ourselves in shape for its release! If this is the kind of material we can expect from the album, we’re gonna need Father Time to get on his grind & speed things up to October 4th so we can cop it!!!
3) SPICE PROGRAMMERS transport us to a place between heaven & hell as EDO. G & TOMMY CHOPPA join forces on “Saints and Sinners!!!” The “Transatlantic S**t 2” scorcher brings us a breathtaking boom bap backdrop with bars for days courtesy of the colossal MCs!!! This is just a taste of the audio bliss you’ll find on the album! Tap in & experience the masters at work!!!
4) I listened to one of the best Hip Hop albums in years and “I Can’t Make This Up,” it was delivered by the incomparable DELL-P!!! On a platter adorned with an endless stream of audio opulence(check out “Red And Black Lumberjack Rap” and the magical Mel Alston Jr featured “Just Imagine” gem for reference), we selected the TRAC-QAEDA featured sizzler “The Promise!” This track ratchets up the gutter, underground aesthetic we crave with hardbody bars designed for destruction! Y’all Key & Peele dudes get a few laughs here & there but Dell-P makes a Chappelle move & reigns like Rick James over your fleeting career!!!
5) SUPREME CEREBRAL & ELOH KUSH will NEVER disappear as they control the game forever on “Gum Sole Connoisseurs!” The CLYPTO laced “Clark Connoisseurs 3” triumph surges with an everlasting supply of soul that leads into searing verses from the esteemed MCS!!! This ain’t no connect the dots, lackluster display of lyricism. Bugzy & Eloh stride into the room & stomp out the opps’ hopes and dreams!!!
6) THE BAD SEED’s takin’ washed up rappers to the cleaners for an S EYES FINEST fueled “Four Finger Ring II” thriller titled “Shooting At The Laundrymat!!!” The mic champ serves as overarching custodian to the underground and mops up the opposition with menacing rhymes! Next time ya got some dirty work to do you know who to call. The Bad Seed will get you right. Quick, fast, in a hurry!!!
7) Underground apparitions HOLOGRAM & KNOWLEDGE THE PIRATE materialize on set for “Ghost Guns!!!” DJ MUGGS serves as sonic specter for the coveted joint that finds the lyrical phantoms phasing through the booth with unlimited bars!!! You hear their verses but you FEEL their presence. PRESS PLAY & you’re guaranteed to be blown away!!!
8) The “Smoke Wave” has begun…and JAMAL GASOL x SAYZEE are on the front lines!!! The SKINDEEP powered “Built 2 Last” heater puts you in the driver’s seat of a car chase with the cops quickly closing in!!! Shots are fired and tensions run high! But when all’s said and done the MCs make it out alive!!!
9) MAZE OVERLAY & JOHNNY STORM knock rivals off their high horse and flex flawless flows on “Equestrian Playboys!!!” It all begins with TRUE CIPHER pulling another thoroughbred track out of the stable and unleashing it on the public at large! Dope rhymes age like fine wine so experience bars you’ll always cherish! Maze & Johnny team up and swiftly steal the show!!!
10) AYOO BIGZ & SHOTTIE want you to understand that they ain’t here for fun & games!!! On the NAR powered “we AINT playin witcha,” the mic warriors drop lyrical bombs all over your battalion’s platoons in a never-ending attack on everything you hold dear! Put on all the gear ya want to & load up the artillery. Ain’t no way you’re winnin’ this one. So come get your L!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
