Don’t Sleep On These New Hip Hop Releases
When an impactful new release drops on the underground, Insomniac Magazine is always here to put you on the inside track. It’s a Hip Hop tradition. Get involved and check out our latest Top 10 list below!
1) ESTEE NACK delivers new “AFRIKANFOLKMUSICFROMOUTTHEDIASPORA” & enlists RECOGNIZE ALI, DANIEL SON & SULLY NOMAD for a Mr.Rose laced banger called “TransAtlanticSlaveTrade!” The power collabo is everything you could want from a posse cut…AND MORE…as brilliantly executed rhyme techniques are flexed throughout the 4 minute sonic adventure! All we can say is this one ain’t for the weak. Get your testosterone levels up & PRESS PLAY!
2) SUPREME CEREBRAL & CRABSKULL unleashed terror with “Mike Myers” but now it’s time for “Leatherface” to get his turn! Continuing their fascination with the macabre, the master lyricist & high-powered producer pull no punches in delivering a musical slaughterfest that will compel you to keep this joint on REWIND! What Supreme Cerebral spits is raw. We love it that they keep things hardcore!
3) DJ SUPA DAVE unites mic beasts NAPOLEON DA LEGEND & STARVIN B for relentless audio heat titled “Side B!” The monstrous soundscape is powerful enough to rattle an entire city block as the underground assassins survey the Hip Hop landscape & knock out the competition one-by-one! Your single might be getting a little buzz around the area but DJ Supa Dave, Napoleon, and Starvin B emerge on the scene to shut that s**t down!
4) DUFFEL BAG HOTTIE, BENNY THE BUTCHER & RICK HYDE flaunt their “Boss Status” on a Marc Spano laced heater called “Hottie On House Arrest!” The power trio might be channeling the “Ghost Of Rick James” but s**t is all the way live when the GXFR/Black Soprano Family collective come to town! The crew bring fire and desire to the proceedings with cold-blooded rhymes that will keep you rockin’ all night long!
5) SAUCE HEIST strides in over Won87’s triumphant production & proves he’s the king of the underground on a funky banger called “Fear Of GOAT!” The impassioned lyricist rides the groove with a smooth flow that lesser emcees will attempt to bite while Won87 keeps the momentum going with a track so self assured YOU’LL get an ego boost when listening! Don’t come into this expecting to hear some throwaway joint. This track is an outstanding work of art!
Be sure to listen and subscribe to Insomniac Magazine’s podcast, “Sounds from the Underground” available on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts.
6) LISAAN’DRO brutalizes his opponents on a Leaf Dog laced heater called “High Notes!” The raspy voiced rhyme slayer delivers his funkiest track to date while dancing on the graves of all those who dare oppose him! It’s not easy being at the top but ‘Dro relishes his position over the lyrically challenged while keeping all suckas at bay. Experience a homicide you can nod your head to! Turn the volume up loud & check the sounds!
7) GENERALBACKPAIN & LUPUS DEI “slide thru the city with the system loud” steady pumpin’ new IKING heat called “Antoines!” The jazz-fueled banger will send shockwaves through your speakers & completely decimate everything in its path…so be careful when hitting that PLAY button! GBP & Lupus possess an amazing rapport in the booth! Their mic skills are evident as they trade bars of brilliance & unite to dominate the scene!
8) EFF YOO, G.S. ADVANCE, AYE WUN & SPIT GEMZ make the competition suicidal on a power joint laced by The Kurse called “Seppuku In B Minor!” The lush, hypnotic soundscape might lead you to believe you’re in for some laid back lyrical reflection…but if that’s what you were anticipating you’re in for the kind of rude awakening that will leave bullet holes in your chest! The crew immediately lunge into action for an all-out audio assault! They don’t come lookin’ for trouble but they WILL slap you ’til they get Carpal-Tunnel!
9) If Texas MC/Producer WIARDON puts on a Jason mask & nominates you his “NUMBA1VIKTIM” don’t be afraid. In fact, you should feel honored as he rips out your internal organs because the evisceration will surely be accompanied by a dope joint like “Tinted Ride!” The multi-talented artist takes listeners on a bloody trip to Hell as he sonically mows down any & everything blocking his path to success. When you see the Tinted Ride you better run inside! If ya gotta die you might as well go in style.
10) JIMMY BLANCO x KHORY ENIGMA took a trip to “Zeekos” to give listeners a taste of that Riverside s**t you’ve been craving! Spitting lava over east asian rhythms that are in complete contrast to the subject matter, the emcees(and producer in Khory’s case)show they don’t give two f**ks about whatever it is you say or do. All that matters is rippin’ the track…something they both accomplish with masterful precision.
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
