Don’t Sleep On These New Releases
Get ready for a chart-busting excursion into the underground with Insomniac Magazine’s Weekly Top Ten! Gear up for action & tap in below!!!
1) WILLIE THE KID & V DON join forces with THE ALCHEMIST for a “Deutsche Marks IV” sizzler called “Briefcase Raps!!!” V summons his mystical production prowess & conjures an atmosphere ripe for underground espionage as Willie & Al spit coded language into the mic! Open up the case & pop in the envelope. Disappear into the fog & NEVER look back!!!
2) DANIEL SON & FINN are up to another one of their “Hair Brained Schemes” and this round of musical mayhem involves an interaction with the “Courtleigh Chemist!!!” When The Brown Bag Money superstar hits the lab with the award winning producer they always cook up the finest dope for the fiends!!! Ya can’t help but get addicted to the ill audio steez. We got our fix & now we’re headed back to rehab!!!
3) Suckers turn to stone when they peer deep into the eyes of BUB STYLES & DANIEL SON!!! On the VINYL VILLAIN powered mega-banger “Medusa,” the mic assassins prove they got the underground on lock!!! This joint is so unhinged it took over our mind and made us smack up every dealer on the block! It’s a shame we’ll never be able to go back home again…but it was worth it for the look on their face. Bub, Daniel, and Vinyl left a massive crater in the underground then disappeared without a trace!!!
4) PRO DILLINGER & FUTUREWAVE clear the path for the “DirtWave” with a hardcore heater called “Gun Play!!!” The amped up arrangement is perfectly suited for The Umbrella mic terror who matches the frenetic pacing with his immaculate delivery!!! When the duo gets devious the tracks are outta this world! MORE PLEASE!!! We can’t wait for the album!
5) BENNY THE BUTCHER, 38 SPESH & BUSTA RHYMES smack the life outta the opposition and send ’em straight into “Jesus Arms” on a massive banger crafted by BINK!!! The intense arrangement combined with god bars from the triumvirate of top tier mic terrors may be too much for the mortal mind to handle…but we tried to hold it together for the sake of this review! This is what a blockbuster feels & sounds like. Salute to the stellar spitters involved!!!
6) TERMANOLOGY teams up with PLANET ASIA for the title track to an outstanding opus that’s jam-packed with hits!!!! “Professional Smoke” finds the mic mercenaries securing a STATIK SELEKTAH selection & utilizing the coveted arrangement to overpower the opps! The lethal lyricism proves fatal to their foes as the enemies fold under pressure and bend to their will!!!
7) ROME STREETZ has every reason to kick back because he drops so many hits…but instead decides to pour on the pressure with “Pro Tro!!!” The “Hatton Garden Holdup” heater features the one & only CONWAY THE MACHINE on a track expertly crafted by DARINGER! Rome performs chest presses with the rhythm and cements his star status while Conway tramples any track blocking his path. This one ain’t for amateurs so put down the mic & let the GxFR pros handle their business!!!
8) Temperature’s risin’ as NOWAAH THE FLOOD & STU BANGAS lead rivals into “The Hellfire!!!” The hottest MC & producer on the set line up their enemies and force ’em to watch their evil kingdoms burn!!! Nowaah compares scripture with the sensationalism of modern times and comes to a firm conclusion. If the wicked continue to prosper our existence is in jeopardy. Simply put, the world’s on a fast track to destruction!!!
9) CRAIG G speaks to a generation of social-media engineered illiterates on a B-REAL featured banger called “Dumb Down!!!” THE MANORAIL crafts an arrangement that finds the mic icon addressing the fact that “Likes” mean more than whether you can read or write. In a world once filled with potential we now celebrate those scraping the bottom of the barrel. Craig G judges your idiocracy and challenges the low achievers to step up their game!!!
10) HAGAKURE x 528RON enlist NEW VILLAIN for a “TONKATSU” triumph produced with FUGUDAWG!!! “Cold Blooded Fire” is a revelatory(and BRILLIANT)confessional from the enigmatic mic crusader who bears so much pain & heartache on the track that you can’t help but feel an instant kinship!!! The amazing arrangement invades every fiber of your being and explains how the most innocent soul can be hardened by his environment!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
