The best in quality Hip Hop. Don’t Sleep On These New Releases
Insomniac’s Weekly Top Ten comes live & direct with a bold new batch of underground heat! Strap in for the ride & brace yourself for the impact!
1) DIRTYDIGGS sets off the action by laying the sonic groundwork for “Novelty” from the forthcoming “Petty Tendergrass” project! Esteemed ghetto poet, SUPREME CEREBRAL, rips into the funky foundation with godly bars that elevate the art & dial up intense excitement! Tracks like the one below are the reason underground Hip Hop has the industry in a chokehold. Salute to Diggs & Supreme for their nonstop work ethic & attention to detail!
2) SEAN PRICE lives on in his new “Imperius Rex” banger, “Dead Or Alive!” That trademark unforgettable flow is still intact on the 3 minute track & Bonnie to his Clyde, BERNADETTE PRICE, even comes thru with a hardcore hook to remind people how the fam gets down! The ape in the window remains king of the jungle! The legend continues!
3) FASHAWN linked up with Large Professor to talk about uh…himself! “Fashawn” is filled with enough audio energy to fuel the planet…which provides the perfect excuse for the impassioned lyricist to give listeners a little insight into what he’s all about. Large Pro supplies an abundance of heat that instantly channel good vibes. Listen up!
4) INNOCENT? drops jewels over Stan Da Man’s propulsive production on a new banger called “Ahhhhhh!” The rising lyrical dynamo unloads his frustrations & angst on the audience with a creative showcase of precision rhymes that immediately hit home! Stan amps up the excitement on a mind-blowing track that builds in momentum with no sign of EVER slowing down! Say “Ahhhhhh” & experience the rap game 4 REAL!!!
5) TONE CHOP & FROST GAMBLE deliver a 4 minute underground masterpiece featuring PLANET ASIA & WHITE RHINO called “Guillotine Chop!” The sinister grooves, filtered vocals, clever change ups, and ill rhymes are all a part of the gumbo stew that includes dope samples from ATCQ & GZA in the funk-drenched excitement. Don’t step to the crew because they’re ready for war. You better PRESS PLAY or else heads will roll!
6) FLU delivers some dark, murky underground ish that will possess your entire body & spit out your soul!!! “Pay Dirt” is the kind of track that’s been lurking around the corner waiting to grab you by the throat! Ominous rhythms are complemented by a tight, controlled flow that transmits a vibe of hostility bubbling underneath. This is mood music that will keep you constantly looking over your shoulder. Flu hit pay dirt with this dope joint! SALUTE!
7) YOUNG BRAV & MEYHEM LAUREN get buckwild on a Two Stacks produced banger as they deliver homicidal heat on “Welcome To This Side!” While n***as are playin’ stupid n***a games to get stupid n***a prizes these MCs are lining up those bastards & takin’ their whole stashes! If there’s one side you better be on it’s theirs! F**k around & they’ll light you up!
8) If there’s one MC you can always count on it’s CRIMEAPPLE! This week the supreme spitter plowed down competitors with a lyrical whirlwind of unstoppable power called “Algerian Shrimp.” The Sadhugold laced slice of sonic action finds the bilingual rhyme assassin applying his ill penmanship to the game while eviscerating his enemies and paying tribute to legendary Video Music Box & Rap City personalities. Get woozy off some Chardonnay & PRESS PLAY!
9) DJ E. REX sure knows how to get the party started! The turntable terror constructs a festive, high-powered production…then calls on CHRIS RIVERS, LEGA-C & MIKEY D to bless listeners with their lyrical gifts on a celebratory banger called “The Conqueror!” The Titans of Rhyme-Writin’ employ venomous flows that stomp other rappers with ease! Put your money on this crew & you’ll always come out on top!
10) Whether going by Automatik Greatness, AURIEL GREATNESS, or Aurieloheem, the rising lyricist of many monikers is one dope MC! On the Don Annix laced “Don’t Talk” we are presented with yet another example of his microphone supremacy as he describes the hardcore streets in vivid detail! Don’s production conveys the day-to-day tension with boom bap beats and a variety of sound effects to ramp up the chaos! GGO keep winning! Stay elevated or get outlined in chalk!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
