Don’t Sleep On These New Hip Hop Releases

Insomniac Magazine blows up the underground with 10 explosive Hip Hop tracks! Check out the minefield of musical excitement and gear up for action!

1) ETO x FLEE LORD didn’t have to push or shove their way to the top. They easily ascended to a higher sonic plateau with a universally coveted masterwork of audio art called “RocAmeriKKKa.” The Melks laced power blast “44 Long” is one of the many standouts from the supreme platter. The dramatic intensity of the production with wicked rhymes in tow grabbed us by the throat & left us breathless. This is hardcore to the max. Pure dope for the masses!

2) When GHXSTRVPPERS & TEAM FAME MUSIC GROUP team up, the world stops & planets collide! At least that’s the way it felt when we heard the earth-shattering new heater from production genius ECTO-84 & mic masterminds LORD JUCO x MAK-P! “P.L.U.T.O.” is an aptly named title for the crew’s track because the ill joint is out of this world. Conjuring a fantastical vibe of magical realism, the soundscape traverses the physical laws of time & space. Juco & Mak bring a precious display of flawless lyricism to the proceedings & transport listeners to the other side of the universe.

3) SMOKE DZA X BENNY THE BUTCHER x PETE ROCK. We could’ve stopped there & you would know you were in for some intense HEAT! But instead of leaving you to wonder, we’ll continue the excitement by puttin’ you up on some “Statue Of Limitations” action called “Drug Rap!” The sonic sizzler is the first impression of things to come from their upcoming collabo platter & it’s all we need to amp us up for the EP release next Friday! Bars & beats from the best. Straight from the underground & directly to your doorstep!

4) ETO x FLEE LORD stood tall on the pavement & made it “Out The Mud” on a Graph Wize powered banger that keeps things grimy! The lyrical bloodbath continues on the “RocAmeriKKKa” master gem that finds the raw spitters flexing cinematic rhymes for the underground to marvel over. Eto & Flee Lord advanced from the block to major venues worldwide. The mud never felt this good before. Thank God they kept things dirty!

5) HALEEM x ZAGNIF NORI deliver high-powered “Humble Patient” heat called “Enriched Flow!” The production percolates with deep-rooted boom bap while Zagnif delivers more gems from the deep trenches of the underground. The lyrical powerhouse keeps kickin’ that dope s**t and fans everywhere continue to show their appreciation!

6) STAHHR guides us through the cosmos with a Motif Alumni powered masterwork called “Celestial!” The deadly lyricist has been savagely eviscerating the opposition with bars so extreme she leaves “headless carcasses in her wake!” Over a majestic soundscape befitting the caramel queen of colossal couplets, Stahhr reimagines the galaxy & remakes it in her image. Take heed to her words & check out the MC in action!

7) BUB ROCK brings a soulful slice of BackPack Beatz laced tranquility to the scene with his “D.R.E.A.M.S” power gem “The Calm!” The stone cold street spitter boils over with hot lava lyricism detailing various aspects of his past. Somewhere In New York is a dope MC dropping jewels. The dopest one of them all is Bub Rock.


8) TIME PIECE x O THE GREAT descend from Mount Olympus to fire “Zeus Bolts” at the competition. The electrifying track contains a hard-hitting combo of rock & boom bap that shatters the booth & knocks down buildings in a single play! Bear witness to O The Great’s lyrical omnipotence. His godly flow keeps us coming back time & time again!

9) G FAM BLACK x GENERAL BACK PAIN bring the competition to the farthest reaches of darkness & despair on the Crack Sizzlack produced banger “All Black!” When Brockton Mass & Inglewood Cali team up it’s MURDER! Skinny Bonez Tha Godfatha mixes the track to perfection to get ya ready for the morgue. Lyrics fly fast & furious and hit you like a hammer! You know there ain’t no escape. Zip up your own body bag!!!

10) M-DOT, REVALATION & KORE of EMS kick ya in the sternum then step on you weak Hip Hop poseurs on the Agent Dan produced joint “Rapscallions!” The first heater from their Own Lane Music debut finds the verbal vigilantes rippin’ mics along with everything in sight! Journey to Germany with the crew. You ain’t f**kin’ wit’ da homies but you’ll definitely f**k wit’ the banger below!

Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
