He constructs the weapons of sonic destruction before our heroes carry them into battle & slaughter everything in sight!!!

5) This is the second sizzler we’ve heard from WATERR & TONE BEATZ’s upcoming collabo project…and if they keep releasing heat like this we never want it to stop!!! On “Financial Excellence,” WateRR tells us about a militant mindset that makes him impervious to all Haters. Failure is not an option & if YOU’RE the one determining your level of success you never lose! Tone laces his brilliant musings with a monstrous blast of sonic excitement & broken piano chords aplenty! Listening to this joint may not put cash in your pocket but it all adds up to a lot of fun!

6) THE ALCHEMIST’s name is always associated with excellence & that same description can also be applied to EARL SWEATSHIRT & NAVY BLUE! On “Nobles,” the royal trifecta treat listeners to a brief burst of majestic heat that instantly elevate the action to a higher plane. “That Thing Of Ours” is a shared connection to Hip Hop’s very essence. The triumphant trio stick the landing & completely get it right!


7) When you want to bring out the big guns you better call on RAF ALMIGHTY & BIGBOB to get the job done! To ensure there are no traces left of their rivals they enlist RAGGAMAG, ILL CONSCIOUS & GUY GRAMS for the banger “B More Zoo!” This “537 Dolphin Street” mega blast is a lyrical powder keg on the verge of exploding! They turn up the sonic steez for the listeners, amp up the heat & serve it up RAW!!!

8) WEAPON E.S.P. already proved himself as one of the lyrical greats with his Savageland & Juice Headz collaborations! Now Mr.Automatic” hits listeners with new solo steez on the Genosha Records release “Bane’s Physical Frame!” The REESE TANAKA crafted power gem delivers a steady supply of hardcore excitement! Experience a full blast of beats & back-breaking bars below!

9) ERIC BOBO & STU BANGAS topple over all opposing “Empires” while building up a few of their own! BLACASTAN & NOWAAH THE FLOOD do the heavy lifting on the lyrical tip as they exterminate the competition on “No Survivors!” This joint contains a funky ass swing that perfectly accommodates the acrobatic maneuvers each MC performs on the track! Stay out of the way of this crew. Battling them will bring an end to your life!

10) KNG BONDALERO & LORD JUCO cap off the countdown with an ultra-creative combo of Dancehall & Boom Bap called “The Ruler’s Back!” This joint is one of those “pull out all the stops” productions that celebrates the connectivity of the cultures while keeping the action strictly hardcore. We’ve got two kings on the mic sharing center stage & they promise to bring the heat forever more!

Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
