Don’t Sleep On These New Hip Hop Releases
There are many Hip Hop lists circulating throughout the industry, however, none match the raw power of Insomniac’s Weekly Top 10! Brace yourself for a brand new wave of audio excitement and check out the heavy hitters below!
1) DANIEL SON, ASUN EASTWOOD & FUTUREWAVE join forces with MOOCH for a “Physics Of Filth” masterclass in sonic brilliance titled “Baby Tech!” While stumbling over the disheveled bodies of drunk rappers, Daniel Son rewinds back to his past & dares us to take a perilous walk with him thru the dark recesses of his ultra-creative mind. Asun then bumrushes the show to remind us that he’s been cradling a gat underneath the covers since his days as a toddler. Life as a shorty shouldn’t be so rough but it was most definitely deadly! Mooch brings the entire affair to a close with an epic tour de force of violently descriptive rhymes that would make Scorsese blush! Futurewave is the brilliant composer of the cinematic action at hand; skillfully guiding listeners through the mean streets of the underground while pulling off the perfect score!
2) BENNY THE BUTCHER delivers a merciless lyrical beatdown to b***h n***a rappers on the Daringer powered heater “Joe Pesci 38!” “Tana Tank 3” is one of the most anticipated projects on the underground because of the GXFR/Black Soprano Family emcee’s highly coveted bulletproof bars. While other rappers struggle to generate quality material, Benny effortlessly drops dope joints that leave listeners in awe! Add JP38 to his collection of hits as the rhyme ripper cruises across a 70’s soul-inspired soundscape to victory! Ain’t nothin’ funny ’bout the situation at hand. It’s a 38 special & you’re staring down the barrel.
3) Super producer SLANG HUGH gets real nasty on us & enlists J SCIENIDE x DNA for a grimey mic massacre called “Dirty Pen Game!” It’s REDRUM for the competition as the high caliber heat sets off an explosion of ill lyricism bathed in glorious boom bap! You can’t help but nod your head to the all-powerful sonic extravaganza. Get Shelley Duvall on the line & tell her she’s got something new to scream about!
4) GENERAL BACK PAIN & LUPUS DEI set sail on “The Love Boat” with new IKING heat “This Weekend!” If you’re not poppin’ bottles & living the lavish life, this dope joint’s the next best thing! Smooth flows perfectly complement a sax-laden soundscape that can’t be topped! Their gift to you is sonic nirvana. Close your eyes & envision a cruise on the high seas with the waviest duo in town.
5) FALCONCREST drop one of their most irresistible tracks to date with the high-energy heater “Koba and Caesar!” Your REWIND button’s gonna wear out from overuse as DNTE delivers that champion sound on production & lets one off on the weak ass suckas who can’t take the weight! If you’re not feelin’ this joint you’re dead. Check your pulse and keep bouncin’!!!
6) SUPREME CEREBRAL teams up with KILLY SHOOT & JAY ROYALE for a new collabo banger titled “Shots Reign!” The all-star trio serve up serious street tales propelled by undeniable charisma & skill while Rob Denir0 advances the action with gripping production that can’t be contained. It’s clear skies ahead for the home team…but things are getting cloudy for the competition.
7) Microphone Michelangelo MACH-HOMMY & Production Picasso NICHOLAS CRAVEN bring their artistic vision of the underground to the world on a brand new sonic masterpiece called “Lapriye!” At this very moment wack emcees are on their knees praying that the power duo will vanish from sight…because their presence on the scene means the competition doesn’t stand a chance! Mach handily eviscerates every beat, rhythm, and melody with the precision of a surgeon while Nicholas guides listeners to a state of eternal bliss on a transcendent track that heals the soul.
8) THE LOX remind listeners that REAL Hip Hop lives forever on a Rockwilder laced monster banger titled “Never Over!” Re-working Boogie Down Productions’ classic jam “The Bridge Is Over,” SHEEK LOUCH, STYLES P, and JADAKISS go to war on all the critics who rang the death knell on true, authentic lyricism! The undisputed legends have been in the game over 20 years & they’re STILL CRUSHING every emcee in their path! You may not see the crew together as much as you used to…but you’d be a fool to think it’s over!!!
9) MASTA ACE x MARCO POLO craft a modern day classic for the hungry masses(“A Breukelen Story”)& kick it off with the majestic power of “Kings!” Ace reminds listeners of his extensive resume while covering a wide range of topics lesser emcees would shy away from. He’s an emcee who should be heralded but in fact is “so underrated it’s a travesty!” Despite these slights, Ace continues to thrive and persevere. His mic skills are truly exceptional but his empathy & determination are what make him a King!
10) PRO ZAY makes no apologies for the evil he rains down on the earth as he rocks a mic AND a “Jesus Piece” on a Por Vida stretched TONY TONE & TWO HORIZONRA featured banger! The trifecta of terror bring their full wrath on all enemies who think it’s playtime in the sandbox when they step onto the scene. Act funny & get beat into submission. That’s a promise. Not a threat.
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
