1) ROME STREETZ reunites with his “Street Farmacy” brethren FARMA BEATS to wreak havoc on the colossal “Kontraband” power cut “Track Marks!” Over gloriously rugged terrain, Rome f**ks up the game with a dazzling display of lyrical wizardry! Farma taps into a wealth of creativity & weaves an array of sonic flourishes throughout the hard-hittin’ joint. It’s the only dope ya need to get the party started. Get high off the supply & PRESS PLAY!
2) NAS contributes stellar sonic steez to the HBO Special “Between The World And Me” in the form of an ILL WAYNO laced gem titled “Fallen Stars Flying!” Nothing compares to a hungry rhyme legend voraciously rippin’ the set over the right production. Here you get God’s Son in passionate mic beast mode for a reflective cut that’s ill enough to change the world!
3) PRIMO PROFIT x CRIMEAPPLE loom over the vast Colombian landscape in “Ransom BLVD” audio heat for the MICHAELANGELO powered banger “Medellin Bolognese!” Primo’s gruff delivery scrapes against the solid steel sonic framework before Crimeapple’s iron clad lyricism crashes the entire set like a wrecking ball! It’s mealtime!!! Pull up a seat at the table & feast on the underground cuisine!
4) CERTAIN.ONES rock the spot while elevating Hip Hop on the NOBODYELSEINC crafted banger “Block Worship!” THE WIZ, DZL, BOBBY CRAVES & FERAL SERGE lead the charge on this 90’s boom bap infused slice of sonic heaven! Each MC delivers a superior dose of lyricism to the underground event. Take a journey from the hood to the far corners of the world!
5) VIC SPENCER is primed to release his greatest masterwork to date as he debuts the first DIRTYDIGGS powered sizzler from the upcoming “Rather Be A Real One” project! “Unbothered In LA” finds The King of Living coolin’ out in Cali while delivering the dopest rhymes & flows the underground has to offer! Here’s the warning shot. Run for cover before the album drops!!!
6) ROC MARCIANO bathes in Basquiat inspired artistry as he paints lyrical murals on the “Mt. Marci” gem “Downtown 81!” The supreme hustler has never met a laid back track he couldn’t body & on this particular cut he revels in the opulence of his flows. Ain’t no one touching Roc in terms of both entertainment & commerce. Take a bullet train to greatness & tap in with the king.
7) ABE LINX & TULLY C team up with HUS KINGPIN for a “Runaway Diamonds” heat blast titled “70 Deposit Boxes!” The AWSME J produced soundscape conjures Daringer/Griselda vibes with its fractured audio arrangements…but the unique lyrical contributions alter the sonic scenery! Abe & Tully’s urgent flows are offset by Hus’ smooth vocal assurances for a maximum degree of high-powered heat! Y’all can’t copy their style so don’t bother. The crew’s got a firm grip on the mic!
8) CHUCK N LOCK stay churning out the heat as evidenced by their new “Centralia” banger “Monster Mile!” To amplify the excitement LEFT LANE DIDON joins in on the action while JLVSN handles the production. With this combination you would expect something great but in truth, what you get is much, MUCH more. Lefty is an extremely welcome addition to the dazzling duo’s supreme creative chemistry. He taps into his most playful nature while mixing it up with the team over a mountainous mass of underground excitement. Explore the farthest reaches of Hip Hop entertainment with another surefire winner. It’s a guaranteed rewind-worthy selection. Keep a couple lions in the fire & PRESS PLAY!
9) JAMAL GASOL joins forces with 38 SPESH & YAYA for their funky “Hi Rise” heater produced by QUIS STAR! “The Ghost of Fritz” power gem contains a hypnotic soundscape that will keep your head noddin’ ’til the end of civilization. Spesh & Jamal both bring their distinct brands of lyrical brilliance to the table while Yaya lends her expressive vocals to ride us out in style! Check out the action & respect the skills!
10) We heard over 500 joints this week but when we checked out DUCK BLAZEMORE x MURDA MARV’s(BLOOD BROTHAZ)M.A.D. powered “Bullmastiff” cut we knew it HAD TO BE on this week’s countdown! There’s nothing like ending off the list with a MASSIVE BANGER & this track’s about as gargantuan as it gets!!! The lyricists sound suitably unhinged for the occasion as the soundscape smacks ya in the face, steals your puppy, and snatches up your dear ol’ mama!!! If the rest of their songs are as ill as this you’ll see ’em back here again! This is pure, uncut dope s**t! Shout out to COCAREEF RECORDS for bringin’ this hardcore heat to market!!!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
