Don’t Sleep On These New Releases
Insomniac Magazine launches another action-packed edition of the Weekly Top Ten! Gear up for action & tap in below!!!
1) Men of valor and esteem are known for their “Honourable Activities” which is why the song title suits PRO DILLINGER, FUTUREWAVE & ETO to a tee. The underground entities band together for this “DIRTWAVE, Vol. 2” audio triumph that provides an experience more cinematic than most movies. Pro & Eto flaunt impeccable wordplay over this expertly scored Futurewave creation. Prestige is awarded to the worthy & no man is more worthy than these three.
2) STU BANGAS & WORDSWORTH join forces with ELZHI for a show-stopping sizzler called “Which One Are You?” On this joint, the lyrical masterminds delve deep into our very essence to see what makes us tick as they unravel the true nature of our character! Stu provides the high-spirited backdrop for this identity altering heater and allows the MCs free rein to test their mettle!!!
3) Putting dope artists together on a track ain’t “Rocket Science” but when done correctly “Everybody Eats!” The STRESS EATER combo of CZARFACE & KOOL KEITH lead the charge for limitless creativity and subsequently devour everything in their path!!! The beat changes and lyrical patterns are so in the pocket that you can’t help but notice you’re in the midst of what can only be described as pure brilliance! A new organism is spawned by merging music icons and unleashing them on the public at large!!!
4) “I paid in sweat/shed a few tears/now I hear the buzz/they say I’m tiers above anyone you been hearin’ of!!!” We don’t mean to come off as “Superstitious” but APOLLO BROWN & CRIMEAPPLE must be involved with some kind of sorcery to keep droppin’ heat like this!!! The “This, Is Not That” power gem proves that Crime is cut from a different cloth than his peers. He contributes to the fabric of the culture while Apollo weaves a tapestry of magnificent musical designs!
5) Ain’t no real value to anything you’re saying until you’re making “Euro Money” on the regular!!! FLEE LORD & JAY NICE stack loot by the daily while spittin’ lava on the RICHARD MILLI laced heat rock “Tsubasa!!!” The lyricists call out this new era of rapping weirdos while sending tremors through the very pavement on the ground! It’s as good a time as any to bow down to them. Just run your s**t and they demand you do it now!!!
6) O THE GREAT builds up to his upcoming “NYU” opus by settin’ s**t off with SUPREME CEREBRAL on the ISAC NO BEAT laced scorcher “Cidade De Deus Pt. 2!!!” The lyrical tyrants toss molotov cocktails around the city while droppin’ a barrage of hardcore bars for the underground at large. It takes superior skills to rise to their level! Get smitten by the writtens & PRESS PLAY!!!
7) GENERALBACKPAIN immobilizes the opposition on a new PHIL GEKTOR powered heater called “Whoop Whoop!!! “The “Holy Hands 3″(Revelations) sonic riptide is designed to disrupt all proceedings & pull you into the world of the Home Team Empire titan!!! GBP is like a fire breathing dragon incinerating everything in sight except a fire breathing dragon is less lethal!!!
8) When you’re highly favored no mortal can stop you!!! NOWAAH THE FLOOD demonstrates what upper level lyricism is all about as he spits godly bars over a soul-rousing STU BANGAS seared soundscape!!! “Wisdom Of The Ages” is one of the most powerful cuts from their “Plans Of The Diligent” project & the track sounds like the gates of heaven have been blown off the hinges!!! Archangels team up with the duo to defeat their enemies and restore Hip Hop’s integrity before it’s lost forever!!!
9) “Patience Pays” but TONEYBOI & MICKEY DIAMOND wait for NO ONE!!! “Breathe Easy” is a subtle warning for the competition to step back and think a minute before engaging in battle! Realize you’re facing off with two of the most-feared MCs on the mic then go back home and choose a new profession!!!
10) NAPSNDREDS link up with HUS KINGPIN over a DJ MANIPULATOR fueled arrangement & all hell breaks loose on “Run It!!! The “Bloodclaat Chapter III” standout is an intense thrill-ride that could work as a score for an action movie or be the last thing you hear before your untimely death! The nail-biting track keeps the opposition paranoid while givin’ up the goods in the form of a high-octane heater!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
