Don’t Sleep On These New Releases
Insomniac Magazine unveils the latest list of high-powered heavyweights who make the underground go ’round!!! Get yourself in gear & tap in to the Weekly Top Ten!!!
1) RECOGNIZE ALI gets “Rebellious” over a STU BANGAS seared soundscape that takes centerstage on “Guerilla Dynasty III!!!” With rhymes sharp as stilettos and production that signals peril to all opps, there’s no chance that the competition will ever emerge on top! Rec & Stu ain’t new to this so your attempts to battle them are laughable. Grab a notepad and take some tips from these seasoned veterans!!!
2) “Stabbed & Shot 2” already reached legendary status on the underground…but now BENNY THE BUTCHER & 38 SPESH up the ante with a Deluxe Edition!!! On “Ice,” TRICKYTRIPPZ laces the proceedings with a wiry, mob-influenced arrangement that brings out the best in the brazen bar slayers! There’s no discounting the braggadocious nature of the material. Especially when every word they’re saying is true!!!
3) VINNIE PAZ & ARMY OF PHARAOHS are back together again to wage war on the opps with “Battle Scars!!!” APATHY, CELPH TITLED, ESOTERIC, REEF THE LOST CAUZE, CRYPT THE WARCHILD and PLANETARY are in full effect for the DANNY CAIAZZO fueled Molotov explosive that will bring down the house AND your local neighborhood! “God Sent Vengeance” on all those who oppose Vinnie Paz and his crew. Pray to the heavens that they won’t eradicate your existence!!!
4) JAY NICE x FREDRO STARR team up with RU$H & THA GOD FAHIM for a joint so dope we woke up in a cold sweat for 3 nights in a row because we couldn’t get it on the list LAST week!!! “Neo Cortex” isn’t just a “FLAIRSTARR” stand out. It’s also one of those tracks you’ll keep on your playlist the entire year!!! All it needs now is a video to send the masses feenin’ for it into hyper overdrive! This track has the power to move mountains!!!
5) RECOGNIZE ALI, STU BANGAS & SAGEINFINITE made sure their enemies never knew what hit ’em on the homicidal heater “Silent Killers!!!” Once that beat comes barreling out the gate Rec gets down to business and it’s certified Heavy Metal Rap for those worthy enough to wield the steel! Rush the stage, take out your opponent, disappear without a trace. And always remember not to ever say a word!
6) You come for the lunacy of the big show but ACTION FIGURE 973 lurks on the “Dark Side Of The Ring” to expose the fact that “Rap Is Crap!!!” Lyricism, on the other hand, is alive and well & it’s brought to you in living color by the underground’s main attraction!!! Marvel at the miraculous mic mastermind and the unmistakable mark he’s making in the Hip Hop arena!!!
7) We’re all craving new CRIMEAPPLE. But don’t worry cause “More Butter OTW!!!” The COMMA UNO laced slice of audio elation finds the globetrotting superstar recounting his past triumphs and reminding everyone that he remains unstoppable! There’s no need to fear when The Manteca mic god is here. Have patience and make some room in your playlist!!!
8) “The Times” we cherish most are the moments we discover incredible music that makes our soul do somersaults! Well…here we are!!! FLY ANAKIN & MONO EN STEREO created a piece of art that’s almost too pristine for human consumption. To truly appreciate this apex of creative expression you must shed your mortal coil and allow your essence to spill out and be absorbed by the world around you. To like this track is a show of disrespect. To love it isn’t even scratching the surface!!!
9) HEIST Life is the nice life as TY DA DALE & DANIEL SON ride a wave of sonic ecstasy on “Miracle Whip!!!!” The dynamic duo serve their loyal custies an abundance of audio narcotics that will keep ’em comin’ back every day of the week. “No more late rest/Only big paychecks!” They keep us fed and their pockets get fatter in the process!!!
10) KHALI-AHKTANE is like “Don King” up in this b**ch as he dominates a HENRY KOOL MCKOOL fueled supernova!!! This joint is a FIVE ALARM FIRE threatening to burn down the underground…and if you get in its way it’ll take you down too! F**k you and your stupid rules! When Don King speaks you better shut up and listen!!!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
