Don’t Sleep On These New Releases
In the midst of an unrelenting war on the commercial Hip Hop home front, Insomniac Magazine keeps it authentic with the underground! Get yourself in gear & check out the Top 10 below!!!
1) JANSPORT J & COAST CONTRA prove they’re the “People’s Choice” with a serious sonic stunner from “Sport Mode!!!” The musical magician gifts the colossal quartet with a breathtaking blast of audio bliss that spurs the power spitters to drop a wealth of gems that’ll keep ya locked in from the start! Remember the great vibes Hip Hop generated in the 90’s? Here’s a chance to feel ’em again by playing this song!
2) ROME STREETZ & WAVY DA GHAWD cut down the competition with a “Buck 50” banger called “92 Mike!!!” The raw passion on this joint means they’re locked in the zone while all opps are completely lost without navigation! The production juggernaut pulls out every stop as the lyrical whirlwind annihilates each enemy without a second’s remorse!!!
3) HAVOC, RJ PAYNE & RAS KASS trigger a euphoric sense of Hip Hop “Nostalgia” on a foreboding GUTTR track destined to leave an imprint in your soul! The underground luminaries define the direction of the culture with music powerful enough to hijack the consciousness of a nation! When ya want that REAL s**t it’s best to take it back to an era when the genre couldn’t be conquered!!!
4) Raising Kanan’s breakout villain is resurrected as THE BAD SEED on a new NAM NITTY laced heater called “Ronnie Home!!!” Niggalis Cage absorbs the malevolent nature, meticulous habits, and menacing Michael Myers-like mannerisms of Unique’s sinister sibling then unleashes his unrestrained fury on the audio explosive!!! We don’t know what you were thinking by crossing Ronnie’s path. But in no time flat you’ll end up six feet deep!!!
5) PRO DILLINGER’s got the game on lock & the world in the palm of his hand as he cruises across a slick SEAN KELLY laced soundscape for the “Bad Business”(Intro)!!! This “Reasonable Dirt” power heater is the perfect way to kick off a classic on arrival! It contains a dream-like quality that puts your mind at ease before Pro crashes your thoughts with a heavy dose of hardcore reality!
6) F**k all you p***y ass, PC muthaf**kas, cause GHOSTFACE KILLAH & NAS are leaving “Scar Tissue” on the epidermis of every fragile, emo lovin’ punk too soft for this world!!! T THE HUMAN laces the joint with a live, rock-fueled atmosphere that permeates the booth and triggers an onslaught of lyrical artillery! When it comes to rhymes you can’t get better than this! So bow down and pay attention to the masters!!!
7) KEISHA PLUM is giving the “Cold Shoulder” to every naysayer who doubted her on an immaculately produced JR SWIFTZ laced powder keg!!! The underground’s poet supreme digs deep into your chest and rips out your beating heart as you lay gasping for dear life! Before your soul transcends to another plane Ms. Plum reminds you she’ll be waitin’ at the gates of hell to destroy you again!!!
8) MADLIB, BLACK THOUGHT & YOUR OLD DROOG steamroll over your entire kingdom on “REEKYOD!!!” When you’ve got the whole world open to your aura all ya need to do is kick back and watch the game play out! Instead, these titans dip their toe in the water to stir shockwaves that will still be felt the same time next year!!!
9) PRO DILLINGER stands for a lot but he’ll “Fall For Nothing” on an ill SEAN KELLY crafted sizzler that can’t be stopped!!! The Umbrella bar-slaying sensation reaffirms his title as “Heavyweight Of The Flow” while stomping out rappers who barely know their A,B,C’S. The MC’s got a bright future but don’t get it twisted. He’ll still put holes through ya if he feels threatened!!!
10) We had to wrap up the countdown in classic fashion with a GUTTR banger you’ll be rockin’ for all eternity!!! HAVOC, RAS KASS & RJ PAYNE are the epitome of Hip hop excellence & on “Old Soul” it’s easy to hear why. Each verse details the pleasure and pain of their life experiences…and the conviction one must have to become a champion!!!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
