Lord have mercy on all his competitors!

3) It’s a “Cold World” so SUPREME CEREBRAL, SUBSTANCE810 & BANISH HABITUAL bring brutal bars to shake ya back into reality!!! ALPHABETIC handles the production duties on this boom bap behemoth that finds the lyrical trifecta breakin’ down the daily struggles that threaten to end our existence. With rhymes like these, the crew keep risin’ to the top because the world don’t stop when life throws you a bunch of hurdles!

On the SLIM ONE laced banger “Mattanza,” the verbal vigilantes get down to business by blowin’ out the booth with an all-out lyrical assault! Don’t misinterpret their verses as small talk or idle chatter because the deadly duo deliver mass destruction everywhere they go!!!

5) B.A. BADD, RASHEED CHAPPELL & BUB STYLES live an unapologetically “Stone Cold” lifestyle that will make the faint-hearted cower in fear!!! With THE STANDOUTS fueling the sonic action, the three mic terrors smack up your entire family then devour their Sunday dinner!!! It ain’t easy attaining this level of evil but gotdammit, it sure is fun!!!

6) JUXX DIAMONDZ, P.A THE WORDSMITH, C.MOEZ & TONE SPLIFF embark on “The Mission” of a lifetime as they seek to find a formula for the ultimate banger!!! Apparently the undertaking led to major success because their ill collabo is a force to be reckoned with!!! This joint contains dope rhymes, ill cuts, and a MURDA MEGZ laced beat that will rattle the very fabric of the underground! Hit that PLAY button & tap in! Salute to Juxx D & the crew!!!

7) KILLY SHOOT x ONAJE JORDAN bring home a cinematic slow burn sizzler called “Knowledge Born!” The jazzy arrangement transmits film noir vibes that Killy fully commits to with his elite storytelling abilities! If you’re in the mood for a stellar street life tale then look no further. Leave it up to Home Team to bring the goods!!!

8) CHUCK CHAN & GENERALBACKPAIN join forces with G FAM BLACK for an “Acetate Tape” triumph called “La Machine!” Each lyricist goes in for the kill & elevates the underground to higher levels formerly unattained! You can search everywhere for joints as dope as this Home Team/Derelict Divizion collabo…but something tells us you won’t get very far!!!

9) WILLIE THE KID & V DON reunite with ETO for “Heather Grey 2!” The second the ominous rhythms filter thru your speakers ya know you’re in for a top of the line sizzler! Lyricism takes precedence as the power spitters mastermind the rollouts & steer this “Deutsche Marks III” selection to excellence!

10) Smoke that “Changa” & change your state of mind!!! Things get trippy as TONES & CAMBATTA move your mental to a TALI RODRIGUEZ laced instrumental. This is a perfect example of true artistry in action and the creativity showcased on their track must be applauded! From the rhymes, the rhythms, and overall theme of the cut, you can bet your life you’re gonna have a good time!

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