1) Coney Island’s NEMS snuffs out your dreams WITH PLEASURE on the dope Jazzsoon powered banger “Gahbage!” The funny thing is that 90% of y’all emcees are under the impression that you’re actually catchin’ wreck when you ain’t doing s**t!!! NEMS smacks ya up & holds your weak ass for ransom. When no one pays up, your dead carcass gets tossed on the street! Watch Netflix, read a book, do ANYTHING!!! But please don’t step up to the mic spittin’ that trash!!!
2) THA GOD FAHIM x MACH-HOMMY reach new heights as they lyrically excel over a phenomenal horn-laden Benji Socrate$ powered mega banger called “B7!” The deadly duo lay down the fundamentals with jewels of knowledge & superior flows you couldn’t duplicate if you tried! The jazz & boom bap infused backdrop is an expertly crafted slice of sonic supremacy that left us staring at the speakers in awe! Artists like these aren’t a dime a dozen. Their material will survive all eras while your career ended last week!
3) AL.DIVINO dropped the DJ Mastamind laced “Fishscale” as the latest single from his high-powered album of the same name & you best believe it kicks ass!!! The unrelenting rhythms married to a barrage of boom bap are all Al needs to smack you into submission! Raw, unforgiving rhymes are aimed directly at your throat & baby, they cut DEEP! The insane genius is terrorizing your town so you better start running! Say your prayers & bow down to the master! Respect the skills. Y’all ain’t f***in’ wit’ da kid!!!
4) SANDY SOLO supplies ICE LORD, LEFT LANE DIDON, SMOOVTH & JAMAL GASOL with a tranquil, piano-driven sonic backdrop that triggers reflective vibes on “God Given!” The track impressively showcases each emcee’s respective style by conjuring the illusion that the accompanying soundscape is merely incidental. You get the sense that the lyricists are hangin’ out on the block choppin’ it up about times both good & bad. It’s deep conversation set to music. The perfect score for the harsh reality ahead.
5) SLEEP SINATRA x FORTES deliver a “Solid” display of supreme lyricism & production with a melancholy gem from the stellar new opus “Classy Sinatra.” Clown n***as continue to turn Hip Hop into a parody of itself but ain’t no playin’ when these two creative entities enter the building! Sleep releases a full blast of lyrical brilliance while Fortes crafts the breath-taking sonic blueprint that makes the track soar!
6) TONEYBOI x THEREALSKITSO team up for a superior round of “Ugly Luxury” lyricism on the Onaje Jordan crafted power heater “40 & A Mule!” Kicking things off with a smooth flow, ToneyBoi presents a cinematic overview of streetlife before TheRealSkitso lunges into action & eviscerates everything in sight with his take no prisoners vocal style that lets you know exactly what he wants & how he’s gonna get it! Onaje Jordan fuels the emcees with the sumptuous soul-laden soundscape that propels them to action. 40 acres and a mule ain’t enough for this kind of heat! ToneyBoi, TheRealSkitso, and Onaje are taking it ALL!!!
7) CERTAIN.ONES drop a new wave of hallucinogenic heat on the REIGN SUPREME, BOBBY CRAVES & JIMMI DA GRUNT featured banger “Yet Another Grand Exit!” WANN SKLOBI is back at it behind the boards & we don’t know what he slipped into our speakers but we haven’t been the same sense! The mystical mic masters had us trippin’ from the second we hit PLAY. It’s been a week. Who knows if we’ll ever come down.
8) Nicholas Craven has a natural talent for creating audio earworms that infect your brain & take over your entire being! His new production “Phi Slamma” featuring MACH-HOMMY, YOUR OLD DROOG & THA GOD FAHIM continues the mind-bending madness with an eerie loop that sounds like it was sampled from a kung fu flick then amped up for maximum satisfaction! The track made us run all the way up to the rooftop of our building & nod our heads uncontrollably. We stumbled for a sec, then thought we were safe…but the ill bars pushed us over the edge!
9) MAV MONTANA x FLU deliver masterful storytelling and an expansive score for their monumental new banger “Trials!” We follow the duo into the darkness as they lead us on a transformative path paved with money, vengeance, and power. You may be naive to the streets when the track begins but your survival instincts will kick in as the story unfolds!
10) LUGHZ x KILLY SHOOT fire lyrical slugs at your chest on the Kheyzine powered banger “War!” The street soldiers emerge from the trenches to take out all opposing forces & stake claim to your territory! When they run up on y’all n***as you only have yourself to blame. The situation’s heatin’ up fast! Burn muthaf***a burn!!!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
