Don’t Sleep On These New Hip Hop Releases
Rising from the depths of the underground is another edition of Insomniac’s Weekly Top Ten! Check out the
new releases below & always respect the skills!
1) SUPREME CEREBRAL goes global with his new banger “Pharaoh’s Dynasty” by enlisting Fresno’s PLANET ASIA, Poland’s SLIDE BEATZ, and the UK’s DJ TMB for a superior display of sonic dominance! There’s no place for buffoonery…This joint is as real as it gets! The crew make power moves over soulful grooves, screaming guitar riffs, ill cuts, and the best boom bap beats in the biz! Listen as they speak their truth & bring the heat!!!
2) ASUN EASTWOOD blacked out on a sinister BX powered joint called “Ace Of Spades” that proved he was holding all the cards in this rap game! The Toronto terror bullied the minimalist beat into submission while laying down the law! Don’t flap your lips & act tough because you won’t be around for long. Asun’s comin’ thru fully cocked so y’all wack rappers better run for cover!
3) VINYL VILLAIN crafts an ominous soundscape that compels SAUCE HEIST, JAMAL GASOL & NOWAAH THE FLOOD to spit LAVA on the “Three The PRR Way” mastercut, “Reservoir Dogs!” The lyrical trifecta attack the track with majestic flows & hardcore content you can’t find ANYWHERE else! Another gem emerges from the trenches. REAL Hip Hop can’t be stopped!
4) ROZEWOOD never entertains nonsense! He just drops dope rhymes over ill tracks like “Can’t Tell You Enough” (conceived & realized by The Custodian Of Records). The shining jewel below was apparently stashed away in the vaults before TCOR freed it up for public consumption…and thank God that he did because heat like this shouldn’t be contained! Absorb the lyrics & feel the groove. You can never go wrong when you’re rollin’ wit’ a #Winner!
5) SULLY NOMAD & ESTEE NACK get cinematic with descriptive bars of supremacy on The Historian laced, “Latin Dance Floor.” The “Great Adventures Of The BIC” banger takes listeners into the club & meticulously details all of the seedy events that occur. Nomad & Nack enter the venue spitting hardcore bars and leave the scene with another win!
6) Get set for a hardcore tour thru Broad Rock as FLY ANAKIN & NICKELUS F. spit savage verses on the GRAYMATTER powered banger, “Whatchu Need!” Ain’t nothin’ nice about the neighborhood so leave those sweet thoughts of Pleasantville far behind. Flip off the cops & respect the flows. Dem red city boys are always into somethin’!
7) Emotional heartbreak might be painful but in many cases it’s also known to bring the best out of an artist! That’s most certainly the case with rhyme warrior, HEEM STOGIED, who recently dropped a certified classic in the form of his fantastic Flip powered opus, “Love Is Cursed.” The KUNGGFUU featured “Dark Prism” is merely one example of the project’s prestigious caliber but it’s an impressively strong one! The gravity & sonic ambience bursting forth from the cut was all we needed to give it a coveted spot on the list! Heem Stogied is a star on the rise. This track & the album as a whole indicate he’s most definitely here to stay!
8) LORD JUCO & SLEEP SINATRA throw wack emcees to the dogs on new OMFG.CoreyAlexie laced heat called “Don’t Love You!” It doesn’t take a genius to recognize how dope these two lyricists are! Few artists possess the skills to craft quality content then transmit it to the masses. But these emcees bring it every time! Don’t just take us at our word. Listen for yourself & experience the sonic odyssey below!
9) OBI KHAN teamed up with Cannibal Ox’s VAST AIRE for a hardcore heater titled “Blood Of Bantu!” On the Thanos Beats powered slaughterfest, verbal avengers drop knowledge AND dope rhymes that open our eyes to the evil threatening all mankind! Heed the words of the lyrical prophets & check the sounds!
10) O-50 Boyz’ PrinceAk jumps on tracks and teaches listeners how to get down on the funky banger, “James Brown!” The Clinton Place produced gem keeps ratcheting up the soul while AK rides the groove as effortlessly as Mr. Dynamite himself! Turn this one ALL the way up! Get motivated & stay crispy!!!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
