Listeners think they know who’s gonna be on the list. But Insomniac’s Top Ten always contains an air of unpredictability. See if ya guessed the heavy hitters this week & check out the steez below!
1) WAVY DA GHAWD supplies “1000 Volts” of pure heat on a brand new “Ghawd’s Eden” explosive! The super-charged sizzler permeates the air with high tension and beckons the underground to listen. ROME STREETZ smokes the set with ill live wire lyricism and provides a much needed shock to the system!!!
2) IM’PERETIV unveils an earth-shattering BENNY THE BUTCHER & RICK HYDE featured banger that will push competitors over the edge! On the super producer’s “Under The Scope” joint, fans are treated to a sinister soundscape from the gravel pits of hell accompanied by the hardest rhymes on the planet!!! B$F is steady bringin’ dem bars & IM’PERETIV gifts them with beats that rain down on the booth like boulders!!!
3) RASHEED CHAPPELL & XP THE MARXMAN link up with ILLWERD to drop “RX” audio insanity called “Hefty Loc!” RECKONIZE REAL & THE ARCITYPE man the boards for this colossal cut that showcases an unhinged display of lyricism you won’t soon forget! If you’re gonna go crazy you gotta go all out! Let this joint play loud while descending into madness!
4) When it comes to delivering dope tracks, CERTAIN.ONES always rise to the occasion!!! “Growth Specimen” perfectly exemplifies that sentiment by highlighting BOBBY CRAVES, DZL, and WHICHCRAFT on higher level heat crafted by DJ EVI DENZ! The rhyme renegades refuse to stay boxed into one lane & their risk-taking always reaps rewards. They provide the template for raw talent while putting all peers to shame!
5) DNTE storms the set on “Caramel Gold” heat PRODUCED BY TEYO! “Devil’s Breath” finds the mic ripper seeking an alternative to street life…but discovering nothing that can pay the dividends! Until then it’s back to the block for business with a sea of demons lurking right around the corner!
6) AESOP ROCK & BLOCKHEAD make the type of dope joints that would be “Difficult” for their competitors to create! The “Garbology” duo deliver a project that’s anything but trash as they sanitize the underground from the wack artists littering the industry! This track in particular slinks in thru the speakers then aggressively pervades the atmosphere! Aesop Rock takes ahold of the cut & never lets it go!!!
7) DJ MUGGS & ROC MARCIANO keep the fires burning with “Winter 2” heat destined to scorch the outer regions of the underground! “Absolem Reprise Pt. 1” is a funky, laid back gem that caters to Roc’s self-assured cadence while transporting the audience into a state of sonic bliss. This promises to deliver heavy replay value to the masses. It’s Soul Assassins steez you can’t be without!
8) JFLIZ, T THE HUMAN & VIC MONROE are on to something. And “Each Time” we played their joint it got better & better! The TALI RODRIGUEZ mixed & mastered gem sounds like a sunny Sunday morning that promises a host of possibilities for the upcoming week. Vic’s smooth take on the material provides a nice contrast to J’s take no prisoners delivery while T brings it all home with the horns!!!
9) WAVY DA GHAWD adds his sonic brilliance to a ROME STREETZ, EDDIE KAINE & TY FARRIS collabo called “Slang Acrobatics!” This stellar selection sports three minutes and twenty five seconds of straight up lyrical manna from the gods!!! ALL of these supreme spitters have made a lasting impression on the underground & Wavy’s joint below ensures the permanence of their legacy!
10) APOLLO BROWN & STALLEY are “The Realest” in the game. And if you don’t believe us check the title of the song! On this “Blacklight” breakthrough, the lyrical journeyman elevates his presence on the scene by transmitting vibrant verses over Apollo’s triumphant track. Being REAL is more than just a statement though. It’s embedded into the core of their DNA!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
