Don’t Sleep On These New Hip Hop Releases
Insomniac Magazine delivers a brand new Top 10 event! Catch up with the latest Hip Hop action & check out the list below!
1) Lyrical juggernaut JOHN JIGG$ plus super-producer SHINING 88 = serious “Jigganometry” heat! “It’s Like That” is a MASSIVE boom bap banger reveling in it’s 90’s inspired ethos while simultaneously paving the path for Hip Hop’s future! John feels that trash rappers are the scourge of the planet…so he wipes them from existence with an all-out lyrical assault. Shining alternates between a fractured sonic landscape and a solid head nod groove in no time flat. It’s certified crime mathematics for the underground set. Respect the skills & tap in below!
2) PLEX DIAMONDS stormed the countdown last week with “Gotham City” and he does it again on the ROME STREETZ featured heater “Never Browsing!” WAVY DA GHAWD mans the boards on the “Gotham City: The Album” banger & pushes the sonic opulence to the point of no return. It’s showtime! Rome & Plex trade bars with abandon while keepin’ ya dusty ass suckas on your toes!
3) STR8 BANGAZ’s “20 for 20” project is so dope that we came back for a second serving of its superior steez to carry over into this week’s action! On this joint, mic messiahs PLANET ASIA, ALL HAIL Y.T., and FLASHIUS CLAYTON band together for fly essentials with a stadium rock vibe! The jewels they drop are expansive enough to light up the entire galaxy…and the sonic grandeur of this production cannot be denied. “Nova” shouldn’t be classified as just another Hip Hop track. It’s distinctive enough to spark a new genre all it’s own!
4) NOWAAH THE FLOOD x DEWER drop a “SUPERB” new cut that pulls out all the stops for audio excellence. The production powerhouse formerly known as Eviildewer utilizes every ill sound effect at his disposal and stir fries them up in a pot before garnishing the delightful dish with drums straight from the Congo! Nowaah knows EXACTLY what to do with the colossal cuisine! He digs in & sets his sight on the competition. A full force of lyrical fury is unleashed into the atmosphere. Wack MCs go running for cover!
5) JAMIL HONESTY x PRO DILLINGER pay homage to the supreme spitters of Shaolin with a dope new heater called “95 WU!” The PRXSPECT powered banger radiates the raw essence of The Clan’s dominance on the Hip Hop scene by transmitting Golden Era vibes accented with cuts by DJ GRAZZHOPPA. Jamil & Pro amp up the energy by supplying a ballistic bar attack! Stand up to battle & you’re gettin’ beatdown!
6) GENERALBACKPAIN x CUNS laugh at all y’all “Little Dudes” talkin’ ish as they swiftly take over the industry! The Home Team hitmaker & sonic sorcerer bring the heat as they combine forces for a smooth-ridin’ smackdown to cement their Inglewood/Italy connection. You’ve got big shoes to fill if you hope to get anywhere close to GBP’s level. Everybody wants to be an emcee…but you lil’ dudes just ain’t ready!
7) CERTAIN.ONES x Belarus’ sonic behemoth DRAYYARD make music for these “Uncertain Times” in the form of a refreshing new track called “Water!” STRESS & JIMMI DA GRUNT rep for the team with bold lyrical flows while the behind the boards monarch intensifies the jazzy proceedings. Quench your thirst for top tier underground excitement. Take a sip of the action below!
8) HIGHEND GRIMM ushers listeners through the modern hell of daily existence on a high octane LORD JUCO featured heater called “Satan Snitchin!” CAMOFLAUGE MONK keeps the action laid back & grimy(just the way we like it!)as Grimm & Juco respectively add raspy & butter smooth vocals to the illustrious canvas. Some people claim that REAL Hip Hop’s dead but they’re sadly mistaken. The devil’s a liar cause you can find it right here.
9) NC rhyme mastermind K-HILL links up with supreme producer BSQUARED for a powerhouse joint called “Rudiments.” The rising lyricist immediately caught our attention with his spirited turn on the mic. In fact, he brought so much combustible energy to the booth that we’re surprised it didn’t explode! The rhyme revolutionary drops knowledge while delivering a steady supply of boastful bars & wondrous wordplay. He makes his presence known as BSquared fuels the action with a captivatingly triumphant foundation.
10) Behold the dawn of a new age as JUSTICE SYSTEM hit you with an incredible, futuristic visual for “Grand Imperial!” The NYC crew call out the “propaganda prophets spittin’ false prophecy” and shut down their sinister systemic spread of evil! Darkness has reigned for far too long so it’s up to our fearless warriors to bring peace, hope & prosperity to the global stage. It’s luminosity over hypocrisy! Follow the light in the sky & listen below!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
