Don’t Sleep On These New Releases
Insomniac Magazine hits listeners with a heavy supply of heat for the Weekly Top Ten! Gear up for action & tap in below!
1) CHE NOIR gave fans some “Food For Thought” while servin’ up “Brains For Dinner” over an explosive JR SWIFTZ laced track! On this joint the majestic mic goddess compared her current reign to days when the cash wasn’t flowin’ so easy. Che’s come a long way and maintains her seat at the head of the table as she continues to devour the competition!!!
2) HUS KINGPIN treads territory Memphis Bleek walked before then repaves the road to make it his own! “Hand It Down” finds Wavo skillfully finessing DJ PREMIER production and pushing the underground to greater heights than ever before. When a #Winner takes the lead you know you’re in good hands. And this particular cut is an undisputed triumph!
3) IM’PERETIV lines up 2 more heavy hitters for his “Burial Plots & Pyramid Schemes” underground conquest in the form of supreme spitters STARZ COLEMAN & G4 JAG! “On The Boards” powers forward with a foreboding sense of terror perfectly matched by the verbal warriors’ lethal lyrical flows! Chalk another one up for the production juggernaut. All competitors will be buried 6 feet deep!!!
4) CA$ABLANCA & D-STYLES beat down their rivals then re-up for more destruction on a brand new banger called “WarriorZ!” Nothing compares to Cas in attack mode…which is exactly the state of mind you can find him in here! D-Styles brings out the beast in the MC. It’s sonic savagery to the fullest extreme!!!
5) SUBSTANCE810 & NOWAAH THE FLOOD are awash in a wave of “Nostalgia” on HXLYSMXKES crafted audio heat! The mighty mic marauders vividly describe the style and vibe of days long past while never failin’ to deliver the lyrical goods! Take a journey back into time with the dedicated duo & relive an era that glistens like gold!
6) CROWN manifests an impenetrable wall of production & enlists Da Cloth’s very own MOOCH, RIGZ, MAV & ROB GATES to scale its sonic foundation! Listening to each MC back to back is a quick reminder just how deadly this crew is as a unit! Many rappers get credit for spittin’ bars…but on “Fatal Pressure” these guys showcase a skill level very few MCs will ever attain!
7) DEZINER DRUGZ, VILLA VELLI & WORK SCORSESE’s “God Complex” sizzler “40K” impressed us so much that we had to get it on the countdown! The soulful ambiance of Work’s production merged with the captivating “Get Rich” flows did what it was supposed to do…and then some! This is the type of track that feeds your financial aspirations. Play this joint every morning & you’re guaranteed to become a success!
8) This is the second CROWN joint that made the list & ya best believe it’s a banger!!! Underground Kings MARK 4ORD & BODYBAGBEN usher in the “Year Of The Ox” with hardcore lyricism designed to strike terror in the hearts of all weak MCs! They apply pressure to the competition and crush everything in sight!!!
9) If you foolishly overlooked GRIMEWAV before you won’t EVER do it again after checkin’ out the “Legends Die” heater “Virtue Primus!” The ominous underpinnings of the track signal the lyrical onslaught that’s about to jump off…and when it does you’ll be so captivated by the merciless mic attack you’ll immediately dive into their back catalog! We’ll let ya experience the audio action for yourself but don’t forget to salute MO, HANZO, LACE, ENELS & FRANK for leavin’ a massive dent in the underground!
10) Today we ride out with ALLAH PREME & MALLORI KNOX on their slow burn sizzler “More Drugs!” The transcendent power track conjures images of nefarious late night excursions with a promise of a major payday in the end. Confident flows & a descriptive storyline make this track a surefire winner…while its jazzy soundscape launches the gem into a realm of perfection!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
