Insomniac Magazine sets the course for another Weekly Top Ten excursion!!! Get yourself in gear & check out the list below!!!

1) Poetic pugilist THE BAD SEED delivers his latest lyrical knock out punch over a cinematic soundscape crafted by sonic visionary JR SWIFTZ! “Apollo Vs Drago II” proves that the underground titans remain undefeated when it comes to supplying the triumphant heat all true heads crave! This slice of hardcore steez isn’t simply a speaker-rattlin’ banger for the ages! It’s also an imaginative & creative achievement all artists should aspire to!!!

2) RECOGNIZE ALI, GUILTY SIMPSON & RAPPER BIG POOH purged all the sin from our mortal coil & elevated us to a new level of consciousness with a spectacular SOUL CHEMIST laced sizzler titled “Allahspeed!” The inspirational audio heater is designed to snap you out of your lackadaisical mindset & motivate you to be the best human you can be!!! With three champions helming the mic and a production genius behind the boards, rest assured all listeners will soon be basking in the glory!

3) SAUCE HEIST takes over your life & stomps out your very existence on a K SLUGGAH seared sonic behemoth titled “Daytona 500!!!” If you ever wanted to know what it would feel like if King Kong paid a visit to your town, just PRESS PLAY on this b***h & it’ll tell ya everything you need to know! Pack up your bags & run muthaf***as!!! Make the pot jump, watch it double back & let it breathe!!!


4) D.R.E. COLOMBIAN RAW, CA$ABLANCA, MEPH LUCIANO & NONCHALANTLY ZAY are locked and loaded as they bring out heavy lyrical artillery on “Glock Servings!!!” The relentless “RAUW” heater finds the mic assassins wreaking havoc on the oppositions’ hopes and dreams as they collapse lungs while comin’ wit’ da carnage!!! When doing a drive by this is the joint you should be using as your soundtrack…and when takin’ time to chill, PUMP IT UP again!!!

5) JOEY MAJORS & ETO are back with another “Plausible Deniability” power heater & this time BIG YOUNT & MOOCH join in on the action!!! “King Arthur” is a majestic THANOS BEATS conceived sonic conquest that empowers the MCs with all the authority they need to incinerate everything in sight!!! They burn down rival kingdoms without a hint of remorse. Salute the crew as they forge a new path to victory!!!

6) The underground should take a moment & seriously contemplate how NICHOLAS CRAVEN & RANSOM are always so dope! The ‘can’t miss’ duo return with a new collection of cutting room floor heat on “Deleted Scenes 2” & “American Made” immediately caught our attention…F**k that!…It grabbed our attention & put it in a chokehold!!! NO ONE can touch the rhymes of Ran & NO ONE channels the pure essence of soul like Mr. Craven!!!

7) Slidin’ in at the last second to smack us across our muthaf**kin’ face was bar czar BUB ROCK’s new GIALLO POINT laced joint featuring mic kings TY FARRIS x ROME STREETZ! “Ice” is so cold that the crew’s rivals will freeze in their tracks every time ya PRESS PLAY! This is the quintessential example of everything Hip Hop embodies condensed into two minutes and 37 seconds of pure bliss! Do yourself a favor & take a listen! You’ll be rockin’ this all morning into the night!

8) In an era where female MCs are more recognized for poppin’ dat p***y & droppin’ it so low that their butt implants explode, it’s refreshing to experience a queen who can truly rhyme! SA-ROC showcases yet again what talent & creativity are all about on the SOL MESSIAH laced sizzler “Talk To Me Nice!” Every coveted gem shared with the listener feels like a blessing from the heavens beamed directly to your soul! There’s no telling where the lyrical goddess will appear next…but always bow down & be respectful in her presence!

9) GRIMEWAV do whatever they wanna do & you muthaf***as can’t stop ’em!!! “The Great Flood” reinforces that point with brash lyricism and an uncompromising TEE-O powered soundscape designed to shatter mountains!!! The rhymes on this joint are so brilliantly vile, we’re surprised rivals haven’t melted from the acid they spew! When this crew’s on the mic the competition don’t even bother showin’ up. It’s a losing game for any sucker who steps up to battle!

10) COUSIN FEO & LORD JUCO reconvene for new DEATH AT THE DERBY heat from “Capitano!!!” As fans cheer them on from the bleachers, FINN amps up the proceedings with an assemblage of sonic activity on “Shearer!” The ever diligent mic assassins continue to carve their own lane into the underground highway with every release! They set trends & create blueprints their peers will follow for years to come!

Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
