Insomniac Magazine’s Weekly Hip Hop Top Ten 5/23/22

Don’t Sleep On These New Releases

Insomniac Magazine unveils the latest edition of the Weekly Top Ten! Gear up for action & tap in below!!!

1) SPANISH RAN, RASHEED CHAPPELL & THE MUSALINI take over the top spot as they team up on a suitably titled sizzler called “Winner’s Circle!” The production champion & lyrical conquerors shower the scene with a maximum amount of heat that spreads like wildfire throughout the entire underground! Court’s in session when these 3 Kings enter the building. They carved a path all competitors fear to roam!!!

2) BOLDY JAMES has his finger on the pulse of the underground. Which is why a KNOWLEDGE THE PIRATE collabo would ultimately add up to “Cash Transactions” that pay off for the listeners! The REAL BAD MAN powered “Killing Nothing” cut simmers with intensity that keeps you compelled at every turn. Then the lyricists enter the booth & the pot boils over!!!

3) COKE drags listeners thru the depths of “Brooklyn” and enlists RIM & INNOCENT? to smack the set into submission!!! Just like the borough, the track itself ain’t for the faint of heart! Each lyricist blows up the booth AND the block while suckers scream in terror from “The Son Of Mary” massacre!!!

4) NAPOLEON DA LEGEND x GYVER HYPMAN already blew our brains to bits with the mind-mutilatin’ banger “These Rappers Scared.” NOW they do it again with the “Versatilis Prolificus” power cut “Famous By Night!” This is one majestic masterwork as evidenced by the royal rhythms and godly rhymes on display! Keep it on REPEAT & add some luster to the mundanity of life!

5) DOUBLE A.B., BREEZE BREWIN & NAPOLEON DA LEGEND get strategic with new PARALLEL THOUGHT scored “Devils & Drugs” steez called “Rembrandt Death Chant!” The production & lyrical artistry exhibited to the underground represent a showcase of superior talent too advanced for commercial radio. This is a priceless commodity…Only viewed by those in the know!

6) JUS ONE x GREA8GAWD drop a monstrous marvel of supreme HEAT called “Captain America!!!” The VACANT DREAMS crafted colossal gem contains hardcore, reflective bars by Jus, an unhinged verbal execution by GG and one hell of an earth-shattering soundscape!!! The Super Soldier Serum was injected into your speakers for explosive audio action! Lower your shield & take a listen!!!

7) On FARMA BEATS’ 2019 EP “The Shadow Man,” fans were first treated to a gem from COUSIN FEO x LORD JUCO called “Emoceans!” Well, all we can say is what a difference 3 years makes because the “2022” flip’s caught our attention all over again!!! This version’s a little bit faster, a lot funkier, and of course, Paka’s the man who uncovered this underground delight! It’s got us all up in our emotions. PRESS PLAY & see what it does to you!

8) FORTIFIED MIND, BOBBY CRAVES, and REIGN SUPREME melt down the underground on a MONTEGA MATEOS laced CERTAIN.ONES sizzler called “100 Suns!” The crew bring the heat(LITERALLY!!!)with a stunning array of spectacular rhymes designed to rip apart the universe! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. Now where do we go from here? The Ones will most certainly let ya know!

9) JAY NICE, KUJI YOUNG, RU$H & STACK SKRILLA are like a four alarm fire that’s hotter than any inferno known to man!!! On “The Fischetti Brothers,” listeners can experience the rhyme savages eviscerating a COMMA UNO powered “Loud Pack From Italy” power heater until there’s nothing left!!! There’s no turnin’ back when ya go all in like this & there’s definitely no tomorrow for the opposition!!!

hip

10) SNOTTY closes out the countdown with a solemn mega gem crafted by GOODPHELLA! “5.56” reestablishes the lyrical taskmaster’s dominance of the underground as he eats off the plate of every so-called mic god and devours them whole! “These are much more than stories & poems.” It’s the code of the streets muthaf**ka!!!

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