Don’t Sleep On These New Releases
Insomniac Magazine brings another bonanza of bars & beats on the latest edition of our Weekly Top Ten! Gear up for action & tap in below!!!
1) The illustrious ESTEE NACK slides across sonic opulence laced by TEV95 called “LATINHEBREWNARABIC!” When it comes to dope rhymes & an unyielding passion for the underground, no one comes close to the Nack Daddy’s presence on the scene! It doesn’t matter what religion you subscribe to or what language you speak, you’ll quickly recognize the lyrical king as a god on the mic!!!
2) What “Pronouns” do you go by? YOUR OLD DROOG don’t give a f**k!!! All that matters is his new MADLIB powered release! YOD breaks the news to you wannabe lyricists that your minuscule sales are no reason to puff out your chest & claim that you’re The Man! In all reality, you’re a struggle rapper holding on for dear life. “You are not him” & never will be…so put down the mic & accept the consequences!
3) SWIZZ BEATZ unleashes a “Hip Hop 50: Vol. 2” explosive that borrows an Onyx war cry & flips BDP’s beat from “The Bridge Is Over!” JADAKISS & BENNY THE BUTCHER launch their unholy wrath over the ill soundscape…but this track is really a showcase for savage lyricist SCARLIP to go in for the kill! “Take ‘Em Out” is one of those joints you must play at full blast at all costs! There will be no survivors left but that’s the price you pay for increasing the volume!
4) REALIO SPARKZWELL is bringin’ “Gunz From Italy” & TONE SPLIFF supplies the sonic artillery to hold him down!!! The title gem to the ten track platter possesses a dream-like quality that is completely shattered when the mic master wakes you up from your reverie to launch into a lyrical onslaught. Tone’s top notch on cuts & production! This one has heavy replay value so tap in!!!
5) TEFLON, M.O.P., & DJ PREMIER show ya how they get down on new heat called “The Thoro Side!” When you want that rugged, raw, no holds barred Hip Hop these are the underground entities you run to!!! Ain’t nothin’ changed. They’re still the greatest in the game! Best believe this track will do damage to the area!!!
6) CRIMEAPPLE has been rippin’ mics for years so expect the claws to come out on “Sabertooth!!!” The LOMAN laced “YDFWC?3” sizzler finds the rhyme slayer on that sinister tip y’all know him for; mixed with a wicked sense of humor that will leave rivals wishin’ they never stepped up to battle. If you thought you were in for an easy ride think again! Do what you need to do. Go ahead & PRESS PLAY!
7) BUDAMUNK crafts a supremely jazzy backdrop that ILL CONSCIOUS bodies with ease on fly steez called “Glandular Trichomes!” The “Sakanoue” sizzler is fueled by a Golden Era vibe that generates nostalgia of the naughty 90’s when the music was at an all-time high! Returning that uplifting feeling to modern times is no easy feat but when you have elite entities at the helm it’s a walk in the park!
8) One of the most powerful pairings on the underground thus far is without a doubt RJ PAYNE & RECOGNIZE ALI’s “Hulk Vs Juggernaut” joint produced by CHEF DRED! Instead of blastin’ straight out the gate with a bangin’ beat, this gem showcases a powder keg arrangement brimming with tension! It might be hinted that the mic titans are engaging in war with each other but that’s really not the case. They’re really teaming up to decapitate the heads of their detractors!!!
9) ESTEE NACK & V DON drop new “BRAP” bonus heat that’s so good you’ll have to rewind it back again! “RE RUN” is a slow roll selection that sounds like Nacky Chan’s performing a dope warm up session in the booth before gearing up to slaughter the competition! You’re guaranteed a good time when you PRESS PLAY! We know the one thing you’ll NEVER hear from the lyricist & that’s a wack verse!
10) SB11’s got a “PAYLOAD” of dope tracks on his “Sample Bag 2” project & power spitter PRO ZAY is right there to bless ’em with ill rhymes! The mic ripper is out here steppin’ on muthaf**kas’ necks while ridin’ an insane assemblage of audio explosives intermingled with industrial sounds! Just know that the takeover starts soon. Life’s a b**ch & y’all dumb muthaf**kas are out here gettin’ f**ked!!!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
