Insomniac Magazine is the Commander-In-Chief of Hip Hop’s underground countdown arena!!! Get yourself in gear & tap in to the Weekly Top Ten!
1) ESTEE NACK, DANIEL SON & MICKEY DIAMOND team up for an ITRAK fueled explosive called “Macho Men Savage!” As they enter the ring, things get deadly when venomous verses manifest from the mouths of the mic kings to attack the opposition! A sinister soundscape sends the suckers running while the resulting sonic smackdown leaves the competition face down on the canvas!!!
2) MAZE OVERLAY joins forces with ASUN EASTWOOD & BUB STYLES for a relentless SADHUGOLD laced street banger called “Reggie Miller!” The driving force of the dusty drums spurs the power spitters to action as they shred the sonic scenery in no time flat! L’s turn to W’s, filthy moves lead to dirty plays, and your lady licks our balls while you’re out working!!!
3) “If Looks Could Kill,” DNTE & WYZE WONDA might be 6 feet deep because jealous muthaf***as glare at them on the regular whenever they emerge from the lab with a brand new hit!!! Cinematic murder’s on the menu & there’s plenty of blood to be shed once the custom made killers grab the mic! Dnte takes the reins in the booth & behind the boards with Wyze Wonda scaling a range of lyrical heights!
4) TIMES CHANGE makes the underground his walk-in closet as he rips rhymes with ROME STREETZ on CHUP crafted “Chopped Cheese” for the underground!!! The “DIFFERENTIMES” banger is a lyrical feast listeners will be eager to dig into…so don’t hesitate to get your slice of the sonic action. Experience an ominous groove propelled by high-powered bars. Ain’t no room for amateurs on this showcase of greatness!!!
5) TY FARRIS, PRO DILLINGER, SNOTTY & MICKEY DIAMOND are “The Most Feared Threat” on the Hip Hop underground! When you get a savage lyrical titan like Ty, a phenomenal producer like FINN & three mic gods of The Umbrella together the only thing the opposition can do is BOW DOWN! “No Cosign, Just Cocaine 5” beamed up to your favorite platform. Take a hit & feel the vibe!
6) UFO FEV & SPANISH RAN set the tone for their upcoming “Painting Houses” platter with audio brilliance titled “Big Locks!” Fev possesses the uncanny ability to draw the listener in the second he speaks. We visualize every verse as though we lived through each moment while Spanish Ran scores his prose to perfection!
7) If there’s any situation that will turn a man’s life upside down it’s the impending birth of his child. Combine that with the ups & downs of a music career, navigating through a dangerous neighborhood on the daily, and the stark reality of an uncertain future with the very woman who will produce your pride & joy, and you’re bound to be a little stressed. JOSIAH THE GIFT does an exemplary job of encapsulating these issues on the SB11 seared sizzler “Humble” while still servin’ every rapper who steps up for a lyrical beatdown! The “God Is Gracious” mega gem flaunts a gloriously soulful arrangement that will stir your emotions and make you reflect on your own existence. The track is a winner for sure & the two entities involved in its creation are true champions of the game!
8) If you’re JAY ROYALE, ROME STREETZ or D-STYLES you’re not one to rest on your “Laurels!” That’s why they were tapped by OPPENHEIMER to bring their tireless work ethic to an outstanding track that is almost otherworldly in its composition. The lyrical phenoms & supreme mix maverick elevate any material they’re involved with…which explains why this audio gem is pure magic!
9) ETHEMADASSASSIN preys on predators & leaves ’em bleeding on a STU BANGAS produced sizzler called “Pick A Side”(Get Or Get Got)! The “Handz Of Stone 2: Sparring Practice” power heater will keep suckers shook once they realize what’s waitin’ for ’em on the block! E pulls no punches & gives it to ya raw. Better the truth than a bullet in the head!
10) ANKHLEJOHN walks on your grave and thinks nothing of it as he rips apart an insidious LOOK! DAMIEN laced soundscape on “Family Trauma!” We needed an EPIC cut to conclude the countdown & nothing could be more powerful than Ankh Nasty’s distinctive delivery over the menacing Omen inspired action. There’s hell to pay before the dawning of a brighter day. Ankhlejohn’s got the heat so PRESS PLAY!!!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
