1) CONWAY THE MACHINE unleashes Holy Hell in the underground arena on JR SWIFTZ & MOTIF ALUMNI laced sonic heat called “Sister Abigail!” Instead of savagely rippin’ the booth on the solo tip, the Hip Hop cyborg summons audio acolytes JAE SKEESE & 7XVETHEGENIUS to assist in the unrelenting evisceration! In terms of lyrical content & flow, each spitter is second to none! They deliver a first rate bar assault for the ages & dominate the set when all’s said & done!
2) It’s survival of the fittest in these streets & one crew refuses to lose because “Failure = Death!” THE QUARTER INCH KINGS x ZAGNIF NORI return to wreak havoc & they brought a few friends along! BUGSY DA GOD & DJ ENYOUTEE smack ya senseless with a lethal display of lyricism & a deadly tour de force on the 1 & 2’s! Rivals are banished to The Land of The Forgotten while Zagnif & The Kings remain etched in our minds forever!
3) To find a track that perfectly illustrates how a contrast in styles can lead to sonic bliss, look no further than PRO ZAY’s new SOVREN crafted heater “House Keepin!” The adventure begins with a rapturous soundscape that will make you feel like the heavens opened up to personally gift you with this euphoric gem. Instead of a falsetto flexin’ songstress or smooth-ass crooner we get Pro’s raspy-laden rhyme presentation & it works BRILLIANTLY! The lyrical ruggedness & radiant arrangements lift the genre to another level. Hip Hop nirvana awaits so y’all best to tap in!
4) Some were gettin’ ready for the spring while others were preparing for the summer…but underground heads were gearin’ up for the “Season Of The Se7en!” BRONZE NAZARETH & RECOGNIZE ALI dropped 16 high-grade gems on the listeners & the first thing we can say is it doesn’t disappoint! SALUTE DA KIDD joins the deadly duo for their Mello Music Group milestone and adds affirmations of power to the divine stylings of “Street Gospel!” You can get motivated by the music or you can Meet your Maker. Take heed to the lyrics & make the right choice!
5) PHILMORE GREENE delivers “Knowledge & Power” AND a certified winner in the form of the VIC SPENCER & RASHID HADEE featured heater “Cool Breeze!” The ill track showcases three lyrical warriors (unquestionably) at the top of their game bodying a soundscape so superb you’ll keep it on REWIND all week! Many wanna know what defines true Hip Hop. Well, the answer to your question’s right here.
6) The competition shouldn’t bother EVER comin’ back outside again cause G FAM BLACK x TALI RODRIGUEZ just resurfaced with new heat from “No Safety!” On “Shell Toes Down,” G Fam takes listeners back to the brutal atmosphere of the streets where s**t could pop off at any second! Tali complements the mic murderer’s venomous verses with relentless rhythms that signal looming danger at every turn. If your punk ass has never been to the ‘hood then don’t bother. Just PRESS PLAY on this joint & take a walk in their shoes!
7) There’s a lot to be learned in this thing called life & TY FARRIS is here to reveal the truth on the MACHACHA laced gem “From A Boy To A Man!” The “Dark Nights & D Fitted’s” heat rock finds the power spitter digging behind the hidden crevices to unearth the harsh realities of his environment & the determination required to get beyond it. Crabs in the barrel can pull you under so ya have to cut ’em off at the claw. Dare to dream of something greater and have a plan!
8) YOUR OLD DROOG x EDAN may have named their new joint after a computer malfunction but it’s really a monumental music celebration that’s far from a mistake! On “Glitch,” Y.O.D. continues to shower fans with supreme bars that render all other lyricists’ best efforts laughable. Edan matches the MC’s brilliance by tappin’ into his inner Mantronik. He sprays the set with Kraftwerk inspired rhythms that amp up the excitement & demolish everything in its path!
9) WATERR x TONE BEATZ lead us out of the darkness with a jazz-fueled mega blast titled “Chile Of Light!” The marvelous mic terror possesses the ability to navigate around ANY challenging soundscape(check his Kurse laced classic “Dollars & The Rent” as an example) and make it his own! On this joint, Tone applies pressure with a slew of sonic excursions but the lyrical terminator remains focused and undefeated!
10) DUSTY RENOYLDS, BUB STYLES x ARXV are all about their business as they rip a RETROSPEC powered banger called “Dusty Puente!” The “LUTUNZA” lyrical smackdown is everything we needed to fulfill our underground desires. Hardcore beats & rhymes are conjured from the ether & pushed to the max! F**k what the chumps say. This joint is pure HEAT!!!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
