Don’t Sleep On These New Hip Hop Releases
Insomniac Magazine winds down the summer with our latest Top 10! Jet off on a new underground adventure and get set to become immersed in these Hip Hop sounds!
1) It’s a holiday weekend but TeamFameGVNG will be doing the REAL partying as MAK P enters the chart at #1 with “No Heart Anthony!” The Quis star powered banger features the MC and producer(both hailing from Baltimore)givin’ their all with a verbal and sonic assault destined to shake the underground to its core! Listen to the power & passion in the fast-rising lyricist’s delivery. Check out the heavyweight beats laced with classic soul. The raw heat blistering thru your speakers isn’t due to faulty wiring. It’s premeditated murder on your stereo by two of the top assassins in the game!
2) SCVTTERBRVIN joins forces with Master of Production The Custodian Of Records for a grand display of “Supreme Mathematics And Bad Habits!” The ill emcee who flexes a dope flow that sounds like he took a sharp turn between the intersection of Earl Sweatshirt & Vic Spencer Boulevard drops serious heat! The Marilyn Manson of this rapping sport sends a big F.U. to the beautiful people in favor of nasty, napalm gospels guaranteed to blow your mind! TCOR constructs an awe-inspiring, ethereal soundscape that will lift your soul as The Anarchy Argonaut guides listeners through the treacherous waters of his twisted mind! The duo reign supreme on the underground scene! This is one bad habit you should definitely pick up!
3) SIR BACKHAND JONEZ aka THUG YEEZY promised us that “Soon It Will All Make Sense!” He was right because his creative vision became all too clear when we listened to his SlyDahmer laced heater “The Night!” On an album FILLED with top tier bangers, we chose this one in particular because of its cinematic storytelling & eerily moody soundscape that conjured the intense feeling of paranoia lurking behind the bars! Don’t trust anyone. You’ll get your throat cut. It’s time for vengeance as you enter the night. Respect the skills & be rewarded.
4) How many times can you play a track before it refuses to play anymore? We put that question to the test when we STAYED in REWIND mode on the criminally funky Nicholas Craven powered PAPPY NATSON & 38 SPESH “Demaris” heater “Camoflauge!” The illest emcees on the rise don’t conceal their ability to rip the soundscape to pieces as they shatter all expectations with venomous verses that crush the competition! Nicholas guides them with well-honed craftsmanship behind the boards & teaches us not to camoflauge our feelings about the joint. Simply put, we love it!!!
5) MC WHITEOWL, BOBBY CRAVES, FERAL SERGE & WANN SKLOBI make certain we don’t forget who’s REALLY runnin’ things on the underground!!! CERTAIN.ONES are back with the flow as they compel listeners to log onto their laptops for an overload of audio excitement titled “DotCom!” Wann hits fans with the high-powered heat as the microphone mavericks shut s**t down! The emcees share a supernatural rapport that can’t be broken or tarnished. They rise to the top while others struggle to keep up. Hip Hop is here to stay because this crew protects it with their lives! To quote MC Whiteowl “There’s nothing else more to say!”
6) WYZE WONDA x DNTE detail the intricacies of the “Dope Game” and how it compares to the music industry on a new banger from “The Connoisseur Of Fly!” The lyricists are still chasing chips & taking trips for an endless array of global adventures while TheRealSkitso crafts a powerful sonic backdrop that drives the action forward without ever looking back! It’s true Hip Hop to the max & you already know the joint is DOPE!
7) BAD SEED’s video for the NOTTZ laced “Sunday Morning” dropped in June amidst an overabundance of sonic heat & we’ve been kicking ourselves for its exclusion from the list ever since! NOW that the official audio has been released, we get the opportunity to correct that oversight with a September placement that’s so well-deserved it’s almost sinful. At least our repentance is accompanied by banging beats, a rousing gospel choir, and dope cuts by the one & only DJ Total Eclipse! This goes out to you. Check out the rap phenomenon in action!
8) JAMIL HONESTY & ACE CANNONS bring “Salvation” to our commercial radio cluttered, mumble-mouthed rapper infested ears with a sonic cleansing courtesy of production powerhouse Hobgoblin! The cerebral spitters drop precious jewels about peace & preservation that listeners can’t afford to miss! As knowledge is absorbed into our very being soulful vibes lift us to a higher consciousness. Save yourself & check it out below!
9) Y’all Eddie n***as are delirious if you think you can stop $AUCE HEIST! Powered by Wazasnics, the magnificent mic warrior sends audio anthrax to all his opponents with “MR. Lathe Cut!” The wax killer spits flames while turning p***y rappers to block candles as toy soldiers topple over in the presence of grown men! Protect ya neck & guard your grill! Sauce & Wazasnics slice up the competition!
10) What would you do if you found out your best homie was bangin’ the love of your life? ACE CLARK & ELZHI take this question & use it as the jump off point for the “Black Privilege” power heater “Maxine!” The emcees should receive Oscar nominations for the manner in which they inhabit their roles & enter a heated situation that threatens to escalate at every turn. Will violence erupt or can the former friends resolve their issues & go their separate ways in peace? No real spoilers here but we might need a Part Two to find out…
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
