Don’t Sleep On These New Hip Hop Releases
Insomniac Magazine delivers a full clip of Top 10 artillery for all the Hip Hop fiends worldwide. Get set for high-caliber underground action & check out the list below!
1) Production master FOUL MOUTH cooked up a stellar sonic sizzler in The Snake Pit & enlisted some of the most savage MCs from The D to body it! BANG BELUSHI, JYPSY, ISAAC CASTOR & KETCH P massacre the entire set with maximum force & flaunt supernatural skills on “Myles Garrett!” There are many new imprints stamping their brand on the industry but Middle Finger Music is unquestionably one of the best! We won’t spoil any of the rewind-worthy quotables here. The true pleasure lies in pressing that PLAY button & experiencing them yourself.
2) NAPOLEON DA LEGEND linked up with (formerly) unknown producer ONION CUORE for a new platter called “Chikara” that is hands down one of his best to date! A wealth of gems are waiting to be uncovered on the project including a SUPREME CEREBRAL, NAPSNDREDS & DJ BAZARRO featured highlight called “Mozambique Sultans!” Riding a wave of sonic opulence, Bugzy, Po, and Naps elevate the state of modern lyricism with unbreakable bars that transcend time & space. Lift your consciousness to a higher level & witness the devoted poets givin’ their all!
3) ICEBERG THEORY x AUGUST FANON dominate the chart once again with a “Serapeum” smash featuring the incredible FLASHIUS CLAYTON! “Rapture” is the perfect title for the audio euphoria you feel when listening to this track. If total EVISCERATION of the opposition is what ya came for you’re definitely gettin’ it here. The dusted, soulfully exotic joint will captivate your attention from the second it kicks in. August is only deserving of the most elite MCs to traverse his sonic palette & with Ice & Flashius you get two of the best!
4) HANZO BLADEZ has been burning down the underground with a succession of GRIMEWAV releases and now he serves up SERIOUS solo heat on a new opus called “Birds Of Prey!” The title track features the mighty IRON LUNGZ & the magnificent MISKEEN HALEEM taking flight to soar far above their lyrical peers! This s**t is so raw that it made us smash our neighbor’s head through a brick wall & beat his mama’s ass wit’ a Wiffle Ball bat! When they came to, we blasted the music even louder & had a quarantine party from 6 feet away!
5) G FAM BLACK x SKINNY BONEZ THA GODFATHA are becoming known for bringing massive sounds to the masses & they continue the tradition on “Gods Of War” (ft. LATEB x REVALATION & MAYHEM OF EMS)! Imagine a legion of armored angels descending from the heavens for a battle on earth & you’ll get a sense of the impact this track delivers. HEAVY bars & beats are readily dispatched! The kids want that street ish & this crew is steady servin’!
6) GENERALBACKPAIN attaches his original style of oration to Mediterranean magnificence conjured by CUNS on the first “Fiato Sul Collo” single titled “Villains!” That in itself is enough to guarantee a hit but WAIT…the duo amp things up even further by adding M.A.V. & DJ TMB to the mix! The end result is a gangster’s tale packed with enough sinister scenarios to fill a 3 part miniseries. Salute to these artists for puttin’ in work cause Villains ain’t nothin’ to play with!
7) BODYBAGBEN is one of the dopest producers around…so when he decides to lay down lyrical landmines ya know he’s gonna choose an ill behind the boards beast to back him up! That’s why THE WORKING MAN BEATS handles the reins for a 3 minute sonic blast called “Good Shooter!” Ben knows the soundscape will shatter every speaker in sight…and finds more than enough room to slip in and take all you soft suckers to task! He breaks down all you punk rappers, snatches your mic, then blows you away!
8) So many MCs claim to be hard but are really pushovers in real life. Try that fish with AZTEK THE BARFLY though & you’re “Playing With Fire!” The Middle Finger Music master spitter takes a lyrical blowtorch to the paper thin rhymes created by his competitors & replaces them with incombustible bars of wisdom. It’s a cookout in the backyard & Aztek’s roastin’ rappers on the grill. Pour some charcoal on the grate & watch ’em burn!
9) MAGNO GARCIA, CHUCK CHAN & KING AUTHOR bring the noise on a dope new track called “Quiet ILL!” The underground champions easily rhyme rings around the competition. Agile flows & top tier wordplay are nothing new to the crew. They perform a 4 minute set of lyrical gymnastics that make ya feel live while you sit still!
10) We definitely didn’t see this comin’ as JUXX DIAMONDZ & LEDGER F.P. Keyser Soze the whole countdown with a MARTELLO SOUSA crafted mega banger called “Usual Suspects!” The MCs possess a powerful rapport that adds emotional weight to every rhyme. You feel the passion & hunger of two authentic lyricists destined for greatness! Their ascent to the top is already written in the stars. Strap yourself in. It’s just a matter of time.
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
