Don’t Sleep On These New Releases
Insomniac Magazine brings listeners the ultimate underground experience in the form of our Weekly Top Ten. Gear up for action & tap in below!!!
1) IM’PERETIV concludes the lead up to his eagerly anticipated “Burial Plots & Pyramid Schemes” power platter with SERIOUS heat that’ll make ya say “Whoa!” Heavy Hitters PRO DILLINGER, ASUN EASTWOOD, SLNC & DYSTRAKTED are on the check-in for this slice of sonic supremacy that represents the apex of audio excitement!!! The lyricism is next level, the production is earth-shattering & the scratches are sublime!!!! Reppin’ the top of the charts. Ya can’t get any bigger! “Call the hardest…you know.” Bet they’ll destroy ’em.
2) ALEJANDRITO ARGENAL leads the pathway to victory for his “Al Compas Del Viento” opus by dropping a CA$ABLANCA & JOSIAH THE GIFT featured mega triumph titled “3 Voces Del Pueblo!” Cas & Josiah stride across the transcendent production while delivering a maelstrom of magnificent bars so powerful 98% of their rivals will wise up & quit the game! The 2% remaining will then be completely decimated when confronting their lyrical wrath at close range!!! A new day has begun! The voices of the people have been heard & celebrated by a legion of listeners!!!
3) TREE MASON & SPANISH RAN join forces with BLOO AZUL for a wave of sonic excitement called “Currentsea!!!” The “No Rewards For The Wicked” sizzler contains a magnificently mind-altering arrangement that spurs Tree & Bloo to relentlessly rip the set with reckless abandon! It’s all about street biz of the highest order. Get your money up but watch your back!!!
4) When you’re gonna do a remix you enlist the best MCs to body the beat!!! NEMS posts up with FAT JOE, BUSTA RHYMES & STYLES P to hit ’em with that “Bing Bong” flip laced by the incredible VINNY IDOL! It would be laughable for us to describe the lyrical slaughterfest because the blood splatter stains across the booth are what truly tell the tale! The Kings of New York continue their reign on the industry. And rival rappers in the tri-state still cower in fear!!!
5) LORD WILLIN, REDD REBEL, and WOLFMAN JECKYLL transform into GOON UNION & link up with production superstar STU BANGAS for a mega banger featuring turntable action by TONE SPLIFF & a murderous verse slaying by RJ PAYNE!!! All rivals stupid enough to challenge them are guaranteed to end up as “Fish Food”…so don’t be bitter or you’ll find yourself floatin’ in the Hudson. The crew are “gonna laundromat domes till they’re Insomniac woke!” and ya know that we’re definitely here for it!!!
6) V KNUCKLES & TERMANOLOGY bring their lyrical expertise to a stellar PHONIKS crafted soundscape called “The Game!” The power spitters unite for the elevation of Hip Hop & spit the truth while reminiscing on the struggle. Instead of delivering cookie cutter “bars” like some rappers ridin’ high on the charts, they call s**t out for what it is. Many claim to be raw but are softer than Charmin sheets! Wipe your ass with that commercial crap while we stick to the hardcore!!!
7) CYPRESS HILL are “Back In Black” and GOTDAMMIT, they haven’t missed a beat!!! Rockin’ mics & recordin’ are still a thrill as deadly bar slayer DEMRICK joins them for a “Certified” smash brilliantly produced by BLACK MILK!!! When this joint kicks in ya can’t help but nod your head into hysterics!!! The agile rhyme assassins perform lyrical acrobatics all over this track and remind naysayers REAL Hip Hop’s here to stay!!!
8) MELLY-MEL, CAPTAINFS & LEBO MOCHUDI serve up a triple threat of audio heat as THE ASSEMBLY while taking on a supreme selection produced by TONE SPLIFF! The unstoppable team “Set Ya’ll Straight” about who’s runnin’ the underground(SPOILER ALERT: It’s Them!!!)while droppin’ an ill banger you won’t ever forget. Dope content & clever wordplay keep them on top! Always count on Tone Spliff for high quality!!!
9) G FAM BLACK & STREET DA VILLAN terrorize the town on SKINNY BONEZ THA GODFATHA powered “Foul Features 2” heat called “Foul Opps!!!” Lyrical annihilation is what’s needed for a slice of sonic supremacy this sinister…and best believe, these bar savages deliver!!! There’s no escapin’ Street as he ties ya up and toys with your mind before G Fam beats your body into the ground!!!
10) We wanted to close out on an all-powerful banger shatterin’ speakers worldwide so O THE GREAT came thru with “Barrington Levy!!!” The mammoth DJ SINQUE fueled cut wakes ya outta your sleep, drags you out of bed, then smacks you senseless while your baby mama stares in awe applauding!!! O is at his most grimy & aggressive which means EVERY MC’s gettin’ slain!!! He’s causin’ trouble on the set so best stay outta the way!!!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
