Don’t Sleep On These New Hip Hop Releases
Insomniac Magazine explodes onto the scene with another Top 10 extravaganza for the ages! Prime yourself for the latest underground excitement & check out the high quality gems below!
1) BODY BAG BEN conjured up one hell of a collabo when he summoned mic slayers DANIEL SON, VOLATILE & SMOOVTH for his intoxicating Hip Hop heater “SCARFO!” The beat is pure boom bap excellence garnished with a sprinkling of carefully chosen sound effects added in for good measure. You never know what to expect from each emcee because they’re so dope they always keep ya guessin’. Daniel Son reels us in with verbal roughhousing of the highest order, Volatile lives up to his name with a hostile rhyme takeover, then SmooVth throws you off guard with dexterous wordplay that takes ahold of your mind & forces you into submission! If you ever doubted the lyrical gods it’s time to ask The Lord’s forgiveness. Bow down to the masters & PRESS PLAY!
2)#Hometeam heroes KILLY SHOOT & GENERALBACKPAIN elevate the game yet again as they unite for the ChefBoyarT powered underground gem “Fish & Grits!” The supreme soundscape dominates your speakers with angelic rhythms that provide a major contrast to each emcee’s ominous oration! Killy & GBP are tryin’ to get up out The Bricks while simultaneously sending us to sonic paradise! Treat yourself to an extra serving of this musical feast & check out the action below!
3) DEUCE HENNESSY & FARMA BEATS team up for a phenomenal audio masterwork titled “The Way It Goes!” For every success story there’s someone at the other end of the spectrum barely able to survive. DH breaks down the daily struggle with sobering clarity while Farma lavishes the lyrical craftsman with sumptuous production that’s light years ahead of the pack. All that glitters ain’t gold but based on talent alone they should be forever celebrated. Respect’s worth far more than a platinum plaque!
4) ENOX & SULLY NOMAD go gun shopping while spitting venom over a North Lake laced heater titled “All Straight!” Flexing breakneck bars that’ll make your heart race, the deadly duo proceed to paint a vivid description of potholes encountered along the road to riches. It’s a deadly situation but one all too familiar. Problems are just a part of the game so they navigate through the treacherous terrain with aplomb!
5) CA$ABLANCA & SUPREME CEREBRAL join forces to mow down the competition on a Rob Denir0 powered banger called “Ru$h Hour!” The mic warriors take the booth by storm to drop the kind of rhymes the opposition would need a lifetime to write! Heat like this is unstoppable! Rush over to your sound system & PRESS PLAY!
6) ST. IVAN THE TERRIBLE & SNAGG DA DON are knocking down “Skyscrapers” & spitting lava over an Alcatraz, ED production while making the world a scarier place for lesser emcees! Armed with ill flows & an endless onslaught of rhymes, the monstrous mic beasts savagely rip apart the hopes and dreams of wack artists worldwide. They eat buildings for breakfast & Lear jets for lunch. Dinnertime’s strictly for feasting on the flesh of their rivals!
7) METHOD MAN x STREETLIFE tap the lyrical & production skills of HAVOC as they “Squad Up” for battle in the underground Hip Hop coliseum of terror! Black Timbs & Black Masks take precedence on the high-powered heater when the crew come to your town and stomp out your very existence! This is music you murder to! Call your squad & come check it out!
8) Mic Ripper RASHEED CHAPPELL links up with the legendary O.C. for a Kenny Dope crafted boom bap/funk heater called “Degrees!” The lyrical lords cascade around the infectious groove with considerable finesse as their expertise in the booth shines through! Rhyming like this is harder than it appears but Rasheed & O.C. make the entire affair look easy!
9) JOHN CREASY x OL MAN 80zz take “The Bull” by the horns & steer it onto the countdown with a force that will impact listeners for years to come! The rising spitter & production dynamo fuel their talents into a gritty yet somewhat psychedelic gem that announce the arrival of two underground powerhouses destined to win. John & 80zz see RED when the competition steps up to battle. Please don’t get in their way!
10) RIM, TY FARRIS x BUBBA ROCK travel to the bowels of the underground to s**t all over you wack ass rappers on the funky heater “No Hook F**k Peter Pan!” This track is the ultimate loosie because it supplies a ‘can’t miss’ groove and three verbal vigilantes who know EXACTLY what to do with it! If you’re an aspiring emcee & you’re intimidated by the mic skills on display YOU SHOULD BE! Few lyricists can pull off what these spitters accomplish. Practice all you want to be as good as them…but we doubt you’ll ever come close!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
