Don’t Sleep On These New Releases

Insomniac Magazine is the cure for the commercialization of Hip Hop! Tap in to the Top Ten & get your Weekly underground fix below!!!

1) Heroes are boring so we always “Root For The Villain!!!” ILL BILL, KOOL G RAP & VINNIE PAZ embody the most maniacal murderers and merciless villains of all time on a new DJ MUGGS powered explosive we kept on REWIND the whole f**kin’ week!!! Bars on this cut are so scorchin’ hot they’ll melt your earlobes & warp your brain!!! The “Billy” album is already proving to be legendary and the project still doesn’t have a release date! Keep alert. Channel the evil within. And let the insanity begin!!!

2) When runnin’ down “Tha Pantheon” of modern Hip Hop geniuses you’re sure to find BODYBAGBEN & JR SWIFTZ! The MC/Production dynamo & elite audio mastermind have teamed up for one of the dopest projects on the market! But “F**k Ya Life” if you don’t wanna believe us!!! Ben delivers a full blast of his illest wordplay over an ominous sounding banger that made us brace ourselves for a home invasion!!! We locked the doors & hit the deck. But nothing could stop the underground juggernauts from bumrushin’ the building!!!

3) CERTAIN.ONES will never fake the funk! So they peel back the corporate curtain on a DJ EVI DENZ laced sizzler called “Pyramid Scheme!!!” FERAL SERGE, BOBBY CRAVES & MORTXGRIM. take listeners on a hallucinogenic expedition thru space and time as they spit ill rhymes while righting the wrongs of a very twisted society! Keep your eyes open when rising to the top because those around you are often setting up your downfall!

4) LIGHTS. CAMERA. ACTION on the set as YOUR OLD DROOG prepares to unveil a new masterwork called “The Yodfather!” To whet the audiences’ appetite, Hip Hop’s enigmatic mastermind delivers one hell of a teaser trailer in the form of the K-NITE 13 laced thriller “Francis Ford Coppola!” YOD soars over the spectacularly silky soundscape and finesses the mic like a champion. Brief. Effective. Pure dope. Raw & uncut. Just the way we like it!

5) “Survival Of The Littest” showcases two female titans at the peak of their powers as ARMANI CAESAR rips into a supreme soundscape crafted by the sonic sensation known as SOVREN!!! “The Liz 2” mega banger is an immediate head nod hit that serves up revelations about the lyricist’s past battles with depression and the path that led to her eventual success! It’s a clever joint about the ups & downs of life…and the fact she rhymes over top tier steez like this makes the entire track undeniable!!!

6) SHIRT has a lot to unload. So where better to do so than on a JACK SPLASH laced audio extravaganza?!? “Dave Chappelle is Wrong (Beef With God)” is fueled by a funky track and killer rhymes that prove the MC ain’t afraid to state his opinions! Don’t ask him what he’s doing & who he knows cause a swift beatdown might be the answer that he’s givin’!

7) The legendary A.G. links up with the always amazing DARK KEYS for a massive “Giant In The Mental” joint called “Poison Grapes!!!” On this masterfully crafted musical conquest, the bar assassin covers a wide range of topics(loyalty, gear, women, life in The Rotten Apple)to remind fans DITC is forever!!! This is the heat ya need to round out your week. Y’all better PRESS PLAY!!!

8) “If you ain’t talkin’ business it ain’t that important!” MC SERCH, BOBBY J FROM ROCKAWAY & KROHME deliver a new Hip Hop heater while givin’ Far Rockaway its props on the raw banger “Round Here!” Serch hasn’t missed a beat since his last single (27 years ago!!!) and serves up stellar lyricism before Bobby J heats up the mic like The Human Torch!!! Dope rhymes over a flawless arrangement! The competition won’t be comin’ back ’round here again!

9) Corpses are strewn across the underground as THA GOD FAHIM & JAY NICE eviscerate all rivals on a BOMBAY laced banger called “Heavy N Da Trunk!” The “Bloodspiller” stand out cut showcases what pure savagery sounds like when ignited by the unstoppable mic assassins!!! It’s nothin’ personal. It’s all about the revenue. You’ll be lighter in the pockets but they make your money look good!

10) BENNY SLUMZ concludes the countdown with one helluva title track from his upcoming TONE SPLIFF crafted opus “From The Slumz!” The rhyme slayer delivers such a vivid description of his hometown that listeners can actually FEEL the darkness & despair. Ain’t nothin’ nice about the environment but Benny & Tone channel their observations into a sonic triumph!


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