Don’t Sleep On These New Releases
Insomniac Magazine turns up the heat to get you through a brutal winter!!! Get yourself in gear & tap in to the Weekly Top Ten!!!
1) “He Who Laughs Last” laughs the hardest & also delivers a #1 track because SUBSTANCE810 x D-STYLES break s**t all the way down on the NOWAAH THE FLOOD & JOSIAH THE GIFT featured banger “Hyper Realistic!!!” When it comes to bringin’ the sonic ammo this crew comes fully equipped with a steady supply! From the mammoth beat, the colossal cuts, and of course the immaculate wordplay, there was no competition when it came to choosing a winner!!!
2) SIBBS ROC & ASUN EASTWOOD team up with SNACKZ & SAIPHER SOZE for intoxicating “100 Proof” heat that will keep the opposition off-kilter!!! As the battalion of bar assassins & beat makers move thru the trenches of the underground, they hand out sonic rations to the listeners! Malnourished music fans get fed with a top quality cuisine that serves as an appetizing & essential audio experience!!!
3) V DON x ETO aren’t just back in business together…they’re BACK WITH A VENGEANCE!!! On “Can’t Go Fishing,” the highly coveted power duo issue a smackdown on the competition with addictive audio crack that kept us feenin’ all week! In its brief one minute & 49 second runtime, we get better quality than a lot of over-the-top joints that clock in at five minutes! When you’re the captain of the ship you ain’t ridin’ no wave! You’re navigating the entire underground away from troubled waters!!!
4) SUPREME CEREBRAL & VINYL VILLAIN continue to force the opposition into irrelevance & this time they’re linking up with one of #TheWinners!!! SMOOVTH contributes a superior assist to the action that’s already overloaded with high impact heat!!! “Home Of The Gritty” is all about the streets that raised Supreme & SmooVth to be beasts on the block & savage spitters on the mic! You haven’t experienced anything hardcore ’til you hear the banger below! “The Emperor’s Deity” audio excitement is primed to explode!!!
5) RJ PAYNE links up with The Outlawz’s very own YOUNG NOBLE for a CARTUNE BEATZ crafted banger fueled by “Pac Energy!!!” The mic maniacs trigger a cataclysmic event for the competition by eradicating all enemies with venomous verses they’ll never see comin’!!! If that ain’t enough, RJ even hit our Top Ten walkin’ backwards! It’s target practice for the deadly duo…so we’ll salute the team while hidin’ underneath our desks!!!
6) MAZE OVERLAY & SADHUGOLD stomp out your existence with “Afghani Gold” excellence titled “Trappicante!!!” Over monstrous production, the rhyme warrior flexes his wordplay wizardry while rivals have no choice but to stare in awe. If ya want proof that crime pays check out the scorching sizzler below! It’s hot enough to make your water boil…so keep your hands off the pot & JUST LISTEN!!!
7) MIDAZ THE BEAST ain’t takin’ no shorts as he rips the ass crack off a DELLE DIGGA production called “Kegel’s!!!” The Orlando, Florida based mic executioner enters “The Devil’s Playground” & reemerges with Lucifer’s severed head! Over a rapid-fire rhythm, MidaZ reigns supreme. There’s no stoppin’ the human locomotive so don’t even try!!!
8) What a way to kick off an album!!! ISAAC CASTOR & FOUL MOUTH pulled us into a wonderland of beats & rhymes with “The Sequel”(Intro)from “The Rabbit Hole 2” project…and kept us captivated for the entire ride! Quick, direct, to the point & hard-hittin’ every second it’s on! This track is only a little over a minute and fifteen seconds but it definitely sets the tone for the magic to come!!!
9) PENPALS’ SQ is one of those seriously underrated producers who drops dope material each & every time!!! Luckily, we’re given another dose of his sonic brilliance in the form of the TELLER BANK$ & RAPSWELL featured heater “The Hela Cell!” The “Transmissions” triumph is a slow burn sizzler that will stir up a host of emotions with its powerfully moody arrangement and compelling verses. When life’s gettin’ you down imagine better days. And if that doesn’t work, bump some soul music from the 70’s!!!
10) A.P. DA OVERLORD & TYRNT are back on their stellar tag-team steez with the TRIPPY4RMDACRIB powered gem “Tommy & Sincere!” These MCs give us a modern day Q-Tip & Phife vibe when they get together which means they work wonders on this joint from “Belly 2K23!” The rhymes are exceptionally tight, the soundscape is euphoric, and the concept as a whole is enough to make Hype Williams come out of hiding for a sequel! Check out the contemporary retelling of a classic film brought to you by two icons in the making!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
