1) RECOGNIZE ALI, LYRIC JONES & TRISTATE reign supreme on the underground scene with a K-Sluggah crafted masterpiece called “ChainGunners!” The mighty mic assassins strike terror into the hearts of the competition with various levels of lyrical savagery. Ali unleashes his rage, Lyric plays mind games with her rivals to set them up for the kill, and Tristate finishes the job with professional nonchalance. K-Sluggah arms the crew with heavy artillery to complete their mission. Whether it’s winter, summer, or spring, they’ll remain on top. No matter what season, the opposition will fall!
2) B-BOY MANSINI joins forces with BANISH HABITUAL for a Castle Money Beats powered mega-banger called “Sweep The Leg!” Some die-hard Hip Hop fans talk about the passion & authenticity that’s missing from today’s music. Well they need look no further than this underground tour de force to get that ol’ thang back!!! Mansini & Banish are the unstoppable mic controllers who dominate the set at every turn. Castle Money Beats brings the heat! If y’all are new to this watch & learn!!!
3) If Cocaine Could Talk it would say GOTDAMN!!! RJ PAYNE x DANIEL SON turn up the heat(& the pot runneth over!!!)as the deadly duo light up the scene on “The Cookup!” JK1 The Supernova bodies your sound system with a steady supply of soul & boom bap while the lyrical renegades tear s**t up in no time flat! You wanna hear a dope joint? Ya got one right here! The power players keep the fire burning for all eternity!
4) MOOCH x FARMA BEATS deliver a street masterpiece in the form of an underground banger titled “FEMA!” Da Cloth’s venomous rhyme slinger brings the disaster to your area as he wets n***as up who foolishly cross his path. Farma serves up a cinematic soundscape to accompany the opposition’s demise. There are no survivors from the sonic beatdown but fans can now get relief from a sea of wack ass emcees!
5) RIGZ rids himself of all the parasites leeching off his ascending career on the Chup The Producer laced “Roach Spray!” That Da Cloth lyrical skill set is readily employed as the rhyme slayer sprays poseurs & haters alike with a potent dose of lyrical pesticide to completely wipe them from existence! All rivals should think twice before confronting the Rochester, NY mic beast. Step up to Rigz & get stomped!
6) KNOWLEDGE THE PIRATE & ROC MARCIANO are built different! The deadly duo attack the Don Cee laced joint “Shots Fired” like unstoppable Terminator cyborgs wreaking havoc on the world at large! This ain’t your ordinary track. It’s a “Black Cesar” power clip that’ll make you break the REWIND button from excessive play. Oh Lord I hope you understand…NOBODY does it better than KTP & Roc Marci!!!
7) When JOHN CREASY x KILLY SHOOT enter the room there’s a mass “Exodus” from the competition. For extra intimidation, Rob Denir0 adds to the ambience by weaving a web of tightly wound tension underscored with jazzy rhythms on “The GetBack!” Each lyricist immediately lays down the law with bold bars of supreme precision. If you’re looking for a respite from all the watered down tracks you hear on the radio you’ve come to the right place. This joint is authentic to the core. Get back to REAL Hip Hop today!
8) The talents of MIDDLE FINGER MUSIC superstars KETCH P, AZTEK THE BARFLY, FATT FATHER, J-CLASSIC, BANG BELUSHI, A MINUS, ISAAC CASTOR, JYPSY, V STYLEZ, and FOUL MOUTH are on full display in the visual showcase for the “Cipher!” Swigz Sinatra & Low 14 Films keep the Detroit collective front & center as they tear into Blizzard’s breathtaking sonic backdrop! The rhymes are relentless & the creativity involved is awe-inspiring to both fans & aspiring spitters who want a lesson on how to TRULY rip s**t on the mic!
9) BUGSY H. x TERMANOLOGY scale new sonic heights on the exhilarating power heater “Letter To Myself Pt. 2!” A demonstration of dope lyricism is presented for the consumption of true Hip Hop connoisseurs as the rhyme titans step up to take charge! In a test for greatness the real battle is with your self esteem. Bugsy & Termanology override any doubts from within to maintain dominance over the scene & remain victorious!
10) GENERALBACKPAIN x ONAJE JORDAN ride us out with the perfect parting gift from their “Street Sacraments” EP! “Newest Vanquish” contains lush melodies, a propulsive drum pattern and a marvelously mellow delivery from the #hometeam hero himself. The best joints aren’t always the selections that get us amped up when we’re partying with friends. Sometimes they’re the ones we can vibe out to alone!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
