Don’t Sleep On These New Releases
A sea of fans are shouting from the rafters for another edition of Insomniac’s Weekly Top Ten! Get your head in the game & tap into the action below!!!
1) SAUCE HEIST takes listeners to the “Deuce Side” for DOT DEMO featured heat laced by EYEKETYSON! The ominous underground powder keg is the perfect sneak attack on the rival set. So all bear witness to the Ghetto Savior as he ascends to new lyrical heights!!! Sauce may be generous with the rhymes but don’t try his patience. It’s a side of the MC the competition pray they won’t see!
2) RUGGED TRIAD RECORDS & I90N infuse Hip Hop with a “Breath Of Life” on a powerhouse HILLTOP PRODUCTIONS sonic stunner from the upcoming “L.O.G.O.S.”(“Love Of God’s Omniscient Sound”)master opus! The anti-hero is IN THE BUILDING & bringin’ high-grade lyricism to all the underground tenants! This is the most glorious merger of beats & rhymes we’ve heard in some time. Take a deep dive into the action & you’ll never come up for air!!!
3) SKANKS THE RAP MARTYR is “Catchin’ Bodies” on a malevolent mountain of extreme heat crafted by TONE SPLIFF!!! Killer chords of destruction signal death to the opposition as the merciless mic beast launches his attack! Tone slices & dices the set with reckless abandon while the world at large watches in awe!!!
4) NOVATORE, A.M. EARLY MORNING & STU BANGAS teleport fans to “Another Dimension” on a colossal cut from “Kingdom Of Criminality!” CHINO XL kicks off the excitement with a praise & prize-worthy rhyme assault before the sinister spitters eviscerate everything in sight!!! TONE SPLIFF ably assists the lyrical henchmen with a masterclass on the 1 & 2’s! Strap in for Stu’s descent into the depths of sonic madness!!!
5) SUBSTANCE810 populates the “Desolate Lands” with enough HEAT to keep ya warm all winter & recruits JOSIAH THE GIFT & DJ GRAZZHOPPA for a “Substantial” banger you’ll keep on REWIND!!! When we think of these 3 underground entities, the first thing that comes to mind is QUALITY…and TOP quality at that! Expertly crafted lyrics over a dope beat & perfectly executed cuts are what makes Hip Hop so great. These ill practitioners of the art are Kings of the Culture!!!!
6) SAUCE HEIST had another one in the stash that kept callin’ us!!! The rhyme slayer’s NES produced “Heist Life Mobb” delivered a high powered surge of energy that sent shockwaves throughout the entire office!!! Electrocution be damned!!! Those of us still left alive voted for this gem cause it was so muthaf**kin’ FUNKY!!!
7) We may be “Conflicted” about many things but this new HIT-BOY laced joint from SNOOP DOGG & NAS ain’t one of ’em! Now that the D O Double G’s Back On Death Row, he’s picked up where he left off by droppin’ some raw steez that triggered our underground sensors!!! The Dogg sounds especially hungry on this cut which is a statement in itself since he’s been eating from a full plate for decades!!! Nas sets s**t off with opening bars and a fly hook that keeps the action percolatin’! Who knew goin’ home again could feel so good?!? Drag us to the electric chair & let’s get it crackin’!
8) CHUCK CHAN, G FAM BLACK & BLESS PICASSO stomp suckers out with a “Blunt Force Trauma” sizzler called “Check The Forecast!!!” Knuckle Dragguz & Home Team are two crews that never let us down so we expected HEAT…but this is like the underground on steroids!!! Bless Picasso is a dope addition to the proceedings with a smooth but deadly flow that will silence the opposition! All rivals run in fear as Chuck, G & Bless rain on their parade!!!
9) CERTAIN.ONES’ lyricists DALI & GUTTAMOUF engage in “Mortal Confusion” with WHICHCRAFT over a WANN SKLOBI powered soundscape! The arrangement on display is some next level, out of this world s**t with the MCs dispatching laser sharp rhymes into the atmosphere!!! As the track builds in intensity so do the bars! It’s unhinged audio excitement that left us elated!!!
10) DJ DOLO76 & ALL HAIL Y.T. conclude the countdown with “Escobarian Hippos” heat called “Dollars Is The Mission!!!” This is the perfect joint to get your clandestine activities off to as Dolo cloak & daggers the cut with precision. Y.T. takes on the assignment with aplomb and delivers high-refined rhymes. Don’t battle these two or they’ll shut down your entire operation!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
