Don’t Sleep On These New Releases
Insomniac Magazine is stirrin’ up s**t in ’26 with a brand new edition of the Weekly Top Ten! Get yourself in gear & tap in below!!!
1) M.A.V., CRIMEAPPLE & ROME STREETZ stay focused on the underground with a CHUP crafted banger titled “Mickey Blue Eyes!!!” The trio of mic conquerors devour the hardcore landscape and spit the remains in the apertures of the opposition!!! Y’all p***y ass rappers can’t f**k wit’ this crew! Drop the guns & go see a gynecologist!!!
2) NOWAAH THE FLOOD & X-RAY blow your top clean off and leave “Bent Minds” with their “Submerged Kingdom” sonic invasion!!! The amped up audio treat is like a high wire act that would have other MCs fallin’ off while strugglin’ to adapt! Nowaah excels at this kind of rhythmic chaos and defeats X-Ray’s arrangement in no time flat!!!
3) ACTION FIGURE 973 adorns you in a “Cashmere Coat” before murdering your ass over a soul-fueled arrangement laced by WULVERINE!!! The “Luchador Body Odor” audio explosive detonates upon impact on the underground and sends shockwaves throughout every town on the planet! Y’all ain’t built for this. You entered the ring but your b**ch ass ain’t ready!!!
4) ESTEE NACK & CODENINE are in “MIAMIONAMONDAYAFTER” and soaking up the sun while reflecting on how dope they are!!! The mic titans get surgical on the track and effortlessly eviscerate everything in sight! Ain’t nothin’ free but the masons! They’ll pop bottles all night but best believe you’re payin’!!!
5) ALPHA_BETIC, SUPREME CEREBRAL & O THE GREAT are at the ROYAL COUNCIL roundtable and breakin’ all the rules on “Criminal Law!!!” The only legislation is that the rhymes be up to par and these three MCs soar far beyond their duties. Spit bars or be behind bars. You’ve got a choice. Either way, you’ll be locked in to their style!
6) Enter the “Subterranean Garden” and bear witness to the power of “Logos!!!” JFLIZ employs a fittingly abrasive flow over ONAJE JORDAN’s priceless plot of sonic real estate!!! The whirling dervish of wordplay keeps the energy amped to the point of exhaustion while Onaje sucks us into a victorious vacuum of never-ending rhythm!!!
7) ACTION FIGURE 973 would stand out in any time period. Case in point is his WULVERINE fueled 40’s Doo Wop homage, “All Gas No Breaks.” The super lyricist transforms into a modern day version of Little Anthony & The Imperials as he floats over a heavenly arrangement personally blessed by The Lord above!!! They not on his pedigree. All competitors are banned from entry. There’s yellow tape across the booth that says: “DO NOT CROSS.”
8) There’s plenty of “Malpractice” on the marketplace but everyone’s afraid to file a lawsuit!!! G FAM BLACK & PHD BEATS are out here selling “Black Market Organs” and State Licensing Boards are keepin’ their mouths shut!!! G Fam takes listeners through the terror of surgery gone wrong…but with PHD on production the whole fiasco feels so right!!!
9) And the winner for “head nod heat of the week” goes to NOWAAH THE FLOOD & X-RAY’s “Deluge Protocol!!!” A trip to the chiropractor was needed to remedy the predicament Floody Ranks & X-Ray got us into…and that still didn’t stop us from shattering our neck brace!!! Please give us a warning next time you drop somethin’ this funky. We’ll book an appointment with the doctor right away!!!
10) ACTION FIGURE, ACTION FIGURE, It’s always ACTION FIGURE! You’re GOTDAMN RIGHT!!! The masked mic avenger links up with smooth-spitter APITO GOIEZ for another expertly produced WULVERINE cut called “Gorgeous Gino!!!” This joint makes us praise the Hip Hop powers that be for deeming us worthy enough to listen. We can’t imagine a world without Mr. 973 & if that world were to exist we wouldn’t wanna live there anyway!!!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
