Insomniac Magazine’s Weekly Hip Hop Top Ten 6/21/21

Don’t Sleep On These New Releases

Insomniac Magazine answers the great debate on who will achieve Top 10 status for the week! Gear yourself up for adventure & check out the list below!

1) 2020 was a very good year if you were a fan of despair but 2021 is all about that heat!!! CERTAIN.ONES & MASTA CONGA are the crew who are bringin’ it as FERAL SERGE & REIGN SUPREME lock down the underground on “Candado Invertido!” Conga creates the kind of beats that ignite artists to clap the competition & the mic champs do so in no time flat! Certain.Ones are motivated to get murderous with the surplus of sonic action. It’s a slaughterfest on every soft ass sucka in sight!!!

2) This joint’s produced AND written by BODYBAGBEN for all of y’all hard of hearin’ muthaf***as!!! On “BriKK” the Top 10 all-star is joined by the fabulous FASTLIFE for new unstoppable steez you’ll keep on rewind for a lifetime! The lyrical arsonists burn down the booth with incendiary bars that’ll leave you breathless! It ain’t wise to get high on your own supply but this counts as a MAJOR exception to the rule!


3) ULTRABEAST’s own 4-IZE & SENOR KAOS combine forces with RJ PAYNE x DAYLYT for a combustible summer sizzler called “Ultra Combo!” The “Put’Cha Teeth On It” powder keg is expertly produced by D.R.U.G.S BEATS and features some of the most hellacious lyrics in existence. ‘S**t got so nasty that even Lucifer came by to check Payne out and salute The G.O.A.T!!! They ain’t spittin’ water…They’re spittin’ BARS!!! Y’all best to believe the team is takin’ over!!!

4) WILLIE THE KID & JAY ROYALE wanted to give fans a little sum’thin sum’thin to keep ’em happy but their minor contributions ALWAYS add up to MAJOR heat! Powered by stellar STU BANGAS production & killer cuts by DJ GRAZZHOPPA, “The Alleged” bursts from the confines of your speakers into the streets to wreak havoc throughout the neighborhood! Willie & Jay are steady slayin’ mics with a vengeance! Hardbody Hip Hop is here. No supplements needed!

5) SHABAAM SAHDEEQ & NICK WIZ are lettin’ the competition know that no one can f**k wit’ ’em!!! Backing up that fact are UG of the legendary Cella Dwellas and the one & only DV ALIAS KHRYST! Ill beats & a fly hook keep the energy at an all-time high that never lessens with each subsequent play. “Watch Ya’ Mouth” is the kind of lyrical b***h slap the opposition needs to put them in their place! ‘Baam & UG stick your face in the mud and won’t relent until you cry “Uncle!!!”

6) THE QUARTER INCH KINGS & ZAGNIF NORI have been droppin’ banger after banger for as long as we can remember which makes them “Explosive Experts” of the underground!!! Anytime the Noble Scity rhyme slayer & all-powerful production powerhouses unite nuclear bombs are detonated nationwide! They didn’t just enter the game but they most definitely changed it. To find their influence on the industry all ya gotta do is look around!

7) This is the kind of match muthaf***as would pay millions for in Vegas and we’re proud to say it doesn’t disappoint!!! RJ PAYNE & RANSOM attack a vicious VANDERSLICE laced “Leatherface 3” production and beat it into submission with merciless bars!!! “There Will Be Blood” is a murderfest of the highest order and we, the fans get to cheer on the carnage! Who took the track? Some say Payne. Some say Ransom. We say who cares cause the underground wins!!!

8) G FAM BLACK, MORONEY & MATHIAS OF CLOAQxDAGGER hit fans with phenomenal “4 for 4” heat called “Food Fight!” It’s a triple threat of sheer terror as G & Moroney devour a track that sounds like it was manifested from Freddy Krueger’s worst nightmare!!! Hit the deck cause body parts are flyin’ everywhere! Get on their bad side & become their next meal!!!

9) CRIMEAPPLE & BUCK DUDLEY don’t make tracks. They make classics! On “Juan Pan Dos,” featuring funky ass cuts by DJ BROWN13, listeners are treated to an overload of fly steez designed to cripple the competition for years! The Manteca mastermind unleashes his full fury on the urgently ominous “YDFWC 2” sizzler and shows ya what true savagery looks like on the mic!!!

10) DRAY YARD makes “Maneuvers In The Dark” with a trifecta of top tier rhyme assassins on the latest “Rugged Gems Made By Rusty Razors, Book II” sizzler! The line up of ECLYSE, BORVOE MCMIDNITE & LORD JUCO allows fans to revel in the diversity of each emcee’s illustrious lyrical style! Over woozy, intentionally punch drunk production, the sensational spitters navigate the intoxicating instrumental to reign supreme on the underground! If you can’t find the light flickering within the darkness of the industry call this crew & they’ll surely lead the way!

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