Don’t Sleep On These New Hip Hop Releases
Get set for another action-packed adventure as Insomniac Magazine delivers the latest edition of the Weekly Hip Hop Top 10! It’s time for new underground excitement. Fasten your seat belts & prepare for the sonic thrill ride of a lifetime!
1) NOFACE x DIRTY DELL make for the deadliest of duos as they team up with ADONIS for the title track to “Dirty Face!” How do we describe the project? Think of a sonic bulldozer smashing thru your speakers with this particular cut acting as the catalyst for the savage massacre to follow! Noface crafts beats out of molten lava while Dell & Adonis spit flames & leave their rivals in ruins!
2) BENNY THE BUTCHER, RJ PAYNE x CONWAY deliver a Griselda/BSF beatdown on a grimy Daringer produced track called “Dirty Harry!” “The Plugs I Met” mega gem showcases the lyrical gods at the peak of their powers with a full-bodied display of raw bars that can’t be beat! One listen to this joint & the competition will run back home to mommy. Conway says “I don’t know why you p***y n***as bother” and we definitely echo his sentiments.
3) HADISH, ETO x SH4MEL spit that slick diction on a dope track called “Pulp Fiction!” The triumvirate of lyrical terror combine forces to murder the ill soundscape with three distinct vocal styles & perspectives. Wack emcees get put on blast for their lack of talent as the trio scoff at the rappers sitting at the top of the charts. Their observations are embedded within raw, gritty rhymes that spill out into the atmosphere & connect with full force. This is one of those fly under the radar joints that deserves to receive more shine. Check out the crew below & pay respect where it’s due!
4) O THE GREAT x XP THE MARXMAN hit a homerun by delivering a dope joint for the ages called “World Series!” Shadow Magnetic is behind the boards for the supremely funky joint that finds the two lyricists making major plays in the industry. They put the time in & emerge with a win! Salute the team & check out the applause-worthy audio heater below!
5) JAH-MONTE OGBON gifts listeners with some lyrical jewels while ICE LORD blesses the beats on “Hiding In Ohio With My Cougar B**ch Who Got That Bag!” The free flowing rhymes hit us at a rapid pace & contain ample doses of humor, pain, and stone cold reality. Jah-Monte’s life is encapsulated within the course of 3 minutes. It’s an autobiographical blast from the verbal assassin!
6) GENERALBACKPAIN x FLU keep a steady flow of “Bovine” heat filtering through the underground with their latest collabo sizzler “Fluid!” GBP surveys the carefully crafted panorama of audio wonderment & spits in a calculated, menacing style to cut through the dense sonic surroundings. We enter uncharted territory for the culture and discover new landscapes to roam.
7) BLACK MOON make a long-awaited return to the scene with a new Beatminerz produced banger called “Creep Wit Me!” It’s been awhile since BUCKSHOT, 5Ft, and DJ EVIL DEE collectively dropped material for the masses but you would never know it from the way they lunge back into action. Lyrics & beats are on point as the crew gets set to conquer the world once again. They “got much more to go, much more to show.” Yeah, you better believe it!
8) Whenever MACH-HOMMY, THA GOD FAHIM & YOUR OLD DROOG get together listeners receive a gift in the process. “Eedeot Bwoy” is their latest offering & it presents a winning combo of complex bars and mystical sonic musings in full glory. The “Wap Konn Joj!” gem is one of those rewind worthy joints we can’t get enough of. Play this all week long, go grab a drink then play it again!
9) ANOYD x STATIK SELEKTAH dropped a new project called “YUCK!” and one of the major highlights is the UFO FEV & TERMANOLOGY featured banger “Kilos!” The uptempo underground heater kicks in with high energy & sports a playful arrangement that showcases the acclaimed emcees at their best! The lyricists cascade, swerve, and dance around the beat for nearly two and a half minutes of microphone magnificence. Hit that PLAY button & have a good time!
10) SNOTTY’s “Colombian Snow Talk” project has been out for awhile but the single/video release of his “Residue” banger was the wake up call needed to catch our attention! The NY mic beast aggressively rips into the sonic scenery with a complete disregard of the competition & spits the truth without repercussions. Snotty’s still making revenue off that residue while slaughtering all rivals. He’ll crush your hopes & dreams and laugh as it happens.
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
