1) WESTSIDE GUNN & lyrical heavy hitters ARMANI CAESAR, CONWAY THE MACHINE & BENNY THE BUTCHER smoke the mic on JUST BLAZE laced audio opulence titled “98 Sabres!” The “Who Made The Sunshine” heater is equipped with a stellar, fast-paced arrangement that would make the perfect sound bed for a high speed chase! Each MC bodies the beat & slaps the set into submission. It’s the ultimate thrill ride. Get set for a new GxFR adventure below!!!
2) DNTE sees you weak rappers actin’ like b*****s. So take this “Milk Moustache” for ridin’ his joint!!! INTIFADA BEATS provides glorious production on a top notch joint that showcases the rising lyrical dynamo flaunting his marvelous flow. A sinister, industrial vibe immediately overtakes the atmosphere before a barrage of dope bars batter the scene. This is a Hip Hop gem of the highest order. No Parkay y’all. It’s strictly butter!
3) Amadeus & Beethoven had their day…but DOM DIRTEE rules the set as “The Hardcore Composer!” On “Kill Switch,” the magnificent maestro shakes the block with homicidal mic heavyweights LIL FAME x TEFLON! Damage to the booth is all but assured when the rhyme titans wreak havoc on the underground! You wanted to battle but y’all best to flee. They’re about to move up in your spot like Airbnb!
4) PORTER HAUS PRODUCTIONS’ increasing dominance of the industry knows no boundaries! They’re knocking it out of the park with gear & apparel while overtaking the charts once again on a MASSIVE collabo heater called “Barracudas!” KNOWLEDGE THE PIRATE, LORD JUCO & GUILTY SIMPSON call the shots on this BIG GHOST LTD. powered explosive! They step into a deadly whirlwind of sonic pandemonium while hurling lethal bars directly at the competition! It’s more meat on your plate from “Steak & Potatoes Vol. 1: The Main Ingredient.” If y’all haven’t copped it yet what the f**k you waitin’ for?!?
5) You wanted bars? Well, GOTDAMMIT…here they are!!! NOWAAH THE FLOOD, KILLA KALI x CA$ABLANCA took charge of the track like deadly disciplinarians of this Hip Hop s**t! They sent the VHS laced joint to its room then punished the mic so ruthlessly we almost called CPS! “El Anillo De Veneno” is propelled by complex rhyme schemes and flows that sent their rivals runnin’ home to mama! KK takes you to another planet, Nowaah beats you down when you come home, then Cas comes in & completely snuffs out your existence!
6) FLEE LORD reunites with GODBLESSBEATZ to bring ill rhymes & a funky guitar-laden soundscape to the mix on a dope cut called “Supply & Demand!” The mic mercenary is known for rhythmically slap-boxing a beat into total compliance. He resumes that style here but the additional instrumentation contributes a powerful sense of urgency. The escalating interest in the lyricist’s material is there & it’s growing by the second. As long as Flee keeps supplyin’ that heat his music will always be in demand!
7) As you lay bloody & beaten in an alleyway, keep your mouth shut & remember “There Is No Mafia!” POUNDS & PRIMO PROFIT emerge on deck to rip into REALLY HIIIM powered hardcore heat called “Elder Statesmen!” The sonic snipers showcase their lyrical mastery with roughneck bars that transform the most thugged out rappers into a bunch of ballerinas! This is the underground steez ya need. Pay respect to the crew or you’ll be sleeping with the fishes!
8) LORD GOAT x STU BANGAS take care of “Final Expenses” with the notorious mic maniac VINNIE PAZ! “Infernal Majesty” is a high-powered audio explosive that sounds like The Byzantine Empire got hit by a mega blast of boom bap! LG & Vinnie deliver upper echelon lyricism with dark imagery and wild wordplay while Stu transports listeners to an unbridled state of sonic bliss!
9) SHYSTE & ROB VIKTUM warn emcees to step their “Bars Up” on a banger from “The Beautiful Hoax” that defies all expectations! Seeing Rob’s name attached to the joint confirmed the fact that the track would be dope…but what Shyste brought to the action completely blew us away! The rhyme slayer’s unwavering self-confidence is on full display every single second of this magnetic gem. The cut blares through the speakers like the triumphant homecoming of a king. Roll out the red carpet & experience the royal flow!
10) WILLIE THE KID’s “Capital Gains” project was so incredible that we had to send you off with one of the illest standouts from the platter. “Dirty Game,” superbly laced by sonic craftsman V12 THE HITMAN, finds Willie waxing nostalgic while simultaneously waxing dat ass! The MC’s bringin’ sultry sermonizing back around again. Willie’s a world class lothario and extremely gifted with the pen!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
