Insomniac Magazine’s Weekly Hip Hop Top Ten 6/20/22

Don’t Sleep On These New Releases

“What Has Been Blessed Cannot Be Cursed.” Which is exactly why anointed audio assassins Conway and Big Ghost can’t be beat!!! Tap in to the deadly duo and other chart champs on Insomniac’s Top 10 of the week!!!

1) CONWAY THE MACHINE x BIG GHOST LTD kick their latest classic on arrival into gear with a sizzling sonic heater called “Salutations! The Drumwork dynamo dominates the production titan’s armageddon triggering power track with braggadocious bars and menacing insinuations galore! If you want to battle them first acknowledge the fact that you’re already dead cause the duo’s undefeated!!!

2) “Word On The Street” is that sonic sensation WHIP BEATS, late, lyrical icon SEAN PRICE & spitter supreme SKEEZO combined forces to unleash a mega banger! Well we’re here to confirm that the rumor is true because the “Creve-Coeur” master cut is currently blastin’ thru our speakers! This joint contains raw rhymes, a hardcore beat, and Tubular Bells type keys that make ya feel like they’re on some Exorcist s**t! Hey, we know WE are! Our heads are still spinnin’ from all the underground action!!!

3) CONWAY THE MACHINE & JAE SKEESE spit that slick s**t over BIG GHOST’s pimp strut steez for a funky audio experience called “In My Soul!” With the fame comes the haters & they can feel them plottin’! The days are gettin’ darker & the nights are gettin’ cold…but these underground masterminds keep heatin’ up the scene!

4) ELCAMINO, 38 SPESH x HARRY FRAUD got that “Money In The Mattress” stashed away in case times get lean! Those times ain’t likely to happen anytime soon because the crew’s always feedin’ the underground a feast of dope cuts to chew on!!! This track serves up Camino’s trademark sing-song chorus with grimy bars from the 2 spitters over a laid back arrangement. It’s ill collabo action you can bank on…or at the very least, tuck away under the bed frame!

5) It’s go time as CONWAY & BIG GHOST bring the brutality on a hardcore, reggae fueled blast of boom bap called “Green Light!” The unstoppable Machine is catchin’ bodies left & right…on the streets AND the charts! With BG behind the boards all enemies should expect extermination. Destruction’s right around the corner & their demise is certain!

6) UFO FEV paints pictures on a sonic canvas crafted by CRISIS for a stellar sizzler circulating on the underground! The MC’s a keen observer of all the happ’nin’s in the hood & serves as field reporter to his sea of fans worldwide. The title of the joint is called “Sunsets In The Ghetto” but when it comes to new heat Fev’s always early to rise!!!

7) CONWAY THE MACHINE is “The Main Source of the culture. He’s Large Professor!” Backed by another bonanza of breath-taking BIG GHOST beats on “Bodie Broadus,” we experience the underground Terminator take over everything in sight! The mood translates to an overwhelming sense of victory that leaves all competitors flailing in the wind!

8) OX OMNI & ROME STREETZ shoot up the charts on a “JENESAISQUOI” sizzler called “Gun Blaze!” The lyrical assassins blast holes into the high energy track with electrifying elocution & a well-spring of wordplay! Tap in to the action. It’s some savage s**t without a doubt! Be a Bad Influenyce on your friends & check it out!!!

9) CONWAY THE MACHINE ‘pens the illest literature we can remember’ while BIG GHOST crafts a flood of phenomenal soundscapes you’ll never forget!!! On “Y.B.C.M.” all rivals are reminded that Con ain’t just bustin’ rhymes in the booth…he’s also bustin’ your girl wide open in the bedroom! Don’t be mad at The Machine though. Your b**ch chose him. Try all you want but you’ll never be as smooth.

10) Since we like to close out the countdown with something MASSIVE, CONWAY THE MACHINE x BIG GHOST’s “Why You Ain’t Move On Me?” perfectly fit the bill! The production juggernaut pulls out all stops on the heavy heater that features a tour de force turntable outro by D-STYLES and of course, Conway’s glorious rhymes! While all you wack muthaf***as are idly sitting by, the colossal collaborators stay makin’ power moves in the industry!!!

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