Over V DON’s earth-shattering soundscape the Lynn, Massachusetts lyrical mastermind makes his presence known by stomping out the competition into oblivion!!! The “BRAP!” lead off banger is a prestigious piece of sonic art worthy of the heralded mic avenger. It amps the audience up for the action to follow on a platter light years ahead of its time!

He tears up the scenery with ill lyrics & production that can only translate to the destruction of his rivals!!!
3) HUS KINGPIN rules over the underground with a MACAPELLA powered thriller called “THE Wave Prince!” “The Tricky Tape B: Side” explosive showcases the kind of fabric #Winners are made of as the lyrical juggernaut finesses the infinitely funky joint with ease.

5) MO RUKUZ & PRO DILLINGER drop a “Behemoth” of a banger produced by HANZO BLADEZ!!! On “One Grime Pt. 2” the relentless rhyme assassins hunt down the competition & make them dig their own grave! If the body count ain’t enough to make you shiver, the pleasure they derive from each kill will send a chill down your spine!
6) ESTEE NACK & V DON team up with THE HIDDEN CHARACTER for an “Incredible Gatpackin'” adventure!!! The classic on arrival “BRAP” opus has spawned so many hits that the opposition should pack their bags & never hit the studio again! This joint is a perfect example of the audio excellence you’ll discover when checkin’ out this album. It’s pure Hip Hop with ill lyricists eviscerating an intense powder keg of sonic explosives!
7) RUDY WILLIAMS & BLOO AZUL stay servin’ ’em daily on a DJ SLIM ONE powered heater called “Hot Pastries!” The FRASER SYME crafted sonic masterwork showcases the lyrical acrobatics of the supreme spitters over an exotic slice of audio excitement!

8) THA GOD FAHIM & OH NO THE DISRUPT join forces with JAY NICE to drag suckers to the guillotine on “Axe Pain!!!” The “Berserko” power heater is an ominous thriller that exhibits the rhyme slayer’s deadly serious tone & witty rhymes! It’s time for the big game hunters to stalk their prey. Make sure you don’t get caught in the crosshairs!!!
9) PASSPORT RAV & BLOO AZUL take listeners back to “83” on “Wanna Be!” The soulful sizzler(self-laced by Passport Rav)is a dope joint reflective of the past but fully aware of the bright future ahead. Each lyricist paints vivid images with their impressive verses. You’ll feel like you can accomplish anything you put our mind to!
10) THA GOD FAHIM & NICHOLAS CRAVEN transport us to musical heaven with a blast of audio euphoria featuring mic titan JAY NICE! “Area Of Effect” is a dope ass joint that sounds like the soundtrack of GREASE hooked up with a few joints from JUICE and had a baby in Bed Stuy! It’s Hip Hop at its finest. This “Shot Clock King 4” sizzler is a surefire winner!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
