Don’t Sleep On These New Releases
Insomniac Magazine brings more excitement to the underground with the latest edition of the Weekly Top Ten!!! Get yourself in gear & tap in below!!!
1) FREEWAY & JAKE ONE will be receiving accolades for all eternity after dropping their new power opus “Stimulus Package 2!!!” You can’t keep a dope MC down as evidenced by the acclaimed spitter’s tour de force performance over Jake’s paramount production heat!!! On the PEEDI CRAKK featured “Philly,” the two mic terrors go toe-to-toe on a sumptuous arrangement that raptured our mortal vessels to heaven! Don’t just play this track. Play the ENTIRE album. It’ll be the one of the best decisions you ever made in your life!!!
2) CRIMEAPPLE x MICHAELANGELO play “LaserTag” with the competition and it doesn’t take long to discover who’s gonna come out on top!!! The production on this joint sounds so deadly you’ll be lookin’ over your shoulder to see if someone’s ready to attack! Lethal Lyrics create emotional incisions that leave life-threatening wounds to anyone who dares step up to battle!!!
3) RANSOM lyrically eviscerates the competition over a laid back slice of audio opulence laced by MADEINTYO!!! “Smoking Mirrors” allows rivals to view their twisted reflections and realize they’ll never measure up to the rhyme god’s victorious visage. When Ran speaks just sit down and listen. If there’s a lesson to be learned it’s that you were always destined to lose!
4) BENNY THE BUTCHER takes note of the tension the season brings on a NYCKLES seared sizzler titled “Summer ’24!!!” Instead of taking heed of the feeling, the BSF bar slinger walks head on into the drama to deliver a scorching onslaught of unabashed lyrical savagery! Now that Benny’s shut down all haters in 2024 we’ll be here waitin’ to see what he does in 2025!!!
5) RIM & EDDIE KAINE get into a “Fender Bender” with a BHRAMABULL piloted vehicle & the end result is a collision course into the career of the competition!!! This “5 Dolla Holla” heater is a tag team triumph from the mic titans who body Bhramabull’s magnificent manic arrangement! You can’t get much better than this & it’s no accident that they made the Top 10!!!
6) “Undefeated” underground assassins REKS & NASTY P link up with ill spitter SLAINE on an illuminating audio gem titled “Tunnel Lights!” The moody mega heater pulls listeners into a hypnotic trance that makes us feel like we’re drifting through a strange universe devoid of space and time. The stellar spitters knocked this outta the park and kept the dope joint percolating on our playlist!!!
7) “Okay, Okay!!!” FLEE LORD is back with the JANSPORT J seared “Raised In The Sand Intro!!!” On this joint Flee reminds listeners that his plans for world conquest have just begun as he destroys every obstacle in his path! You can run off at the lip if you want to but he’ll just knock the town down then watch you rebuild & do it again!!!
8) THE MUSALINI & ANTHONY DANZA float across DJ MANIFEST’s cinematic soundscape on an “Active & Attractive” sizzler called “Salty’s!!!” When we first heard the album we knew this was a standout and obviously Mus & company realized it too! The rhymes & flows on this track captivate your mind while the flawless arrangement keeps the collabo joint funky!!!
9) K.BURNS & HUS KINGPIN are lookin’ around to see who they’re gonna make their next victim on a CRABSKULL powered banger called “Bloodshot!!!” The looming presence of the mic murderers can be felt in every ad lib and intonation as they proceed to terrorize the town!!! Who’s The Captain now? It’s clearly K. Burns. Don’t get caught in the crosshairs or you’ll get beat down to the ground!!!
10) BIG DESE kicks back in his backyard like the lyrical lounge king we know him to be and completely bodies the MIKE MARTINEZ seared sizzler “Paul Simon!!!” This “Deseperado” power heater finds the MC still crazy after all these years as he cooks up colossal couplets and visionary verses your imagination’s too weak to conjure!!! Remember to go with the flow and act like you don’t care. Dese says his rap career’s not going anywhere…but we beg to differ!!!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
