1) SPANISH RAN gathers together a group of “Abandoned Saints” and sends them to the “Sosa Fortress” with MADHATTAN & FASTLIFE leading the way!!! Everything you could wish for is contained in this track…from ill lyrics to a soundscape that will rip rivals to shreds! Count your blessings you’re still on their good side. But watch your back cause these brothas don’t play!!!
2) Well Gotdaaammnnn, THA DOGG POUND, SNOOP DOGG, RBX & THE LADY OF RAGE catch major wreck on “Who Da Hardest?!?” The “W.A.W.G.” mega banger is laced by the legendary DJ PREMIER & he weaves an arrangement infinitely worthy of these iconic MCs. Each verbal assassin goes extra hard on the track. No doubt, it’s easy to see why they’re considered the greatest!!!
3) UFO FEV x FREDRO STARR got another heater on their hands!!! “Batumi” is an uptempo head nodder that celebrates weed, money, and the high quality of life we all aspire to! PRESS PLAY on this track & you’ll see Hip Hop’s still thriving. In fact, the two of them keep the culture alive!
4) TERMANOLOGY is one of the most authentic MCS in the game…which is why he calls out all pretenders on “Tell Me!!!” NASTEE works his magic behind the boards to conjure a soulful slice of serious sonic excellence! Term slides across the rhythms with the greatest of ease and stays true to Hip Hop and everything it stands for!!!
5) A BUTTA, L SWIFT & MR VOODOO are back with new I.G NEXUS crafted steez called “Alive and Well!” Many crews come and go but NATURAL ELEMENTS will leave an eternal imprint on the underground!!! The way they take hold of the ghostly soundscape is uncanny. They rouse our spirits while dealing with the uncertainty of the world!
6) MONDO SLADE is performing a “Sleight of Hand” show to amaze the audience & for his first trick he manifests the mighty ESTEE NACK!!! The lyrical terminators pull a rabbit out the hat called “100ft” and go the distance with the MICAH GERMANY powered banger!!! Watch your baby mamas when they come to town. They’re offering free backshots that your lady can’t refuse!!!
7) How many layers of self-satisfaction does it take to satiate the “Pride Of A Man?” ANKHLEJOHN has all the answers and he reveals them on “Kiss Of Death!” ROB STOKES summons a mystical force of sonic sorcery to assist in the social discourse that will educate a nation! Look in Big Lordy’s face and see that he’s alive while y’all wack MCs are dead on arrival!!!
8) G FAM BLACK has been edging out opponents since DAY ONE…and with BOFAAT on his side he’s completely invincible!!! “Super Predator” is the title smash of their new collabo opus and the track singlehandedly stalks, slays, and devours everything in sight!!! The indestructible duo have the weight of the world on their shoulders…but why complain when you’re controlling the universe!!!
9) ILLPO has been making the competition see red for what seems like decades…but today the color they’re focused on is “Beige!!!” NAZAR powers this slice of sonic opulence with sitar-sampled sequences stitched together for the supreme spitters to tear apart!!! The duo launch lyrical explosives at their enemies and protect the integrity of the underground for centuries to come!
10) RALPHIIE REESE shows wack ass rappers who’s the nicest on new self-titled heat called “Power Poyntz!!!” The Dart Unit mic mastermind has always been the smoothest to do it as he dismantles your entire operation then kicks up his feet on your couch. The Fly Organizer rearranges your face and builds up the underground one dope track at a time!!!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
