1) BOBBY BISHOP crafts a dark, foreboding arrangement for D.R.E. COLOMBIAN RAW to dive into on the spectacular sizzler “Jersey Drive!” The production assassin & merciless mic king pull us into the dirty trenches of a crime-ridden city where you’re sure to get jacked the second you step out the door! It’s a hostile environment where even the strong might not survive. Make a wrong turn & you won’t live to see tomorrow!

It only takes a second to hit that PLAY button. Tap in to the audio action below!!!

4) The amazing ESTEE NACK & venomous sonic vigilante V DON hit listeners with a major dose of underground excellence called “SANG TSUNG!” The lyrical sorcery of the one & only Nack Daddy should never be downplayed because he makes it a habit of eviscerating everything in sight! Combine that talent with V Don’s flawless soundscapes & the result is pure magic on the set!

5) Meet DOMO GENESIS then meet your maker as the bar slayer blasts all opponents to bits!!!

Uplift your consciousness & play to win!

6) CHUBS & BODYBAGBEN join forces with VEGA7 THE RONIN for a heavy dose of sonic savagery called “Orange and Black Bomber Jacket!” This is the perfect track to completely blow the lid off the underground and leave the competition flailing in the dust!

Hard bars and dope beats are the name of the game. Brace yourself for impact when this “Pain Provided Profit” powder keg comes blastin’ thru your speakers!!!

8) ALPHA_BETIC, TWISTELLO, O THE GREAT & SUPREME CEREBRAL just punched The Joker in the face & massacred The Mad Hatter on a comic book inspired CLYPTO seared sizzler called “POW!” The rhymes & production on this joint are so insane that authorities are trying to drag ’em to Arkham Asylum for a lyrical lobotomy! Send out the Bat Signal & call Commissioner Gordon cause these caped crusaders are descending on their prey!

9) SLEEP SINATRA & THE ARCHITECT deliver a full supply of “Infinite Ammo” on their “Battle Of The Angelz” mega banger! The Dreamscape mic destroyer & Hiero production heavyweight employ ill artistry with an upbeat track that serves as motivation to achieve your goals and dismiss the haters! When you’re feeling defeated, rise above the drama & throw on this song. Leave your imprint on the world & conquer all your fears!

10) SNOTTY is the king of reflective rhyming! He’ll kick off a verse and immediately draw you into past experiences with masterful storytelling abilities that showcase his skill on the mic. The superb TXGER VPPERCVT crafted “Taylor Swift Freestyle” is a prime example of the sonic euphoria each listener feels when the MC’s lyrical talent is matched with the perfect production.
