Don’t Sleep On These New Releases
Insomniac Magazine hits ya with an arsenal of audio heat for the Weekly Top Ten! Gear up for action & tap in below!!!
1) SAINT JAME$ was determined to be #1 “By Any Mean$” and he achieved that goal with the help of heavy hitters ROME STREETZ, CHASE FETTI & KOOL G. RAP!!! Their track’s a triple threat triumph of bar-slinging, blockbuster action with SJ supplying a surefire soundscape that’s tantamount to making a cinematic classic! “More Brix” is your gateway drug into a lifetime of underground audio addiction…and all it takes is one hit to get hooked!!!
2) We’re “So Glad” SHABAAM SAHDEEQ recorded this joint with super producer TONE BEATZ that it’s become our “Mantra” to repeat those words when we wake up every morning! The supreme lyricist transforms into The Terminator on this track and annihilates all opposition who step into his path!!! There’s no force of nature strong enough to stop him. Tsunamis & tornadoes bow down when encountering his presence!!!
3) DANGER! USE CAUTION! ‘Cause ELOH KUSH, GIFFY DA GOD, JAHBATON & GLORIOUS are here to catch wreck on ONAJE JORDAN powered heat called “Triple AAA!!!” The war has begun & Angel Inc’s at the front of the battlefield spittin’ deadly rhymes while hittin’ ya wit’ hand grenades!!! Explosive elocution and an incendiary track keep enemies shook as their life expectancy begins to quickly fade away!!!
4) PLANET ASIA x FLYING LINDUS are “All In” for a blazin’ banger that allows us to behold The Beauty Of Barbarossaplatz!!! As the elegant arrangement filters through the speakers we imagine pharaohs overseeing divine rule throughout the land. P.A. takes us on a lyrical adventure and seduces the mic which expectedly melts like putty in his hands. It’s one more gem to be added to the catalog. You know the doctrine! Run your finger ‘cross the deck & PRESS PLAY!!!
5) SAINT JAME$, CONWAY THE MACHINE & ROME STREETZ shoot for the stars & merge with the universe on a soul-fueled sizzler called “Where I’m From!” The mellow vibes emanating from the arrangement are soon overtaken by superior superstar turns by the victorious verbal assassins! Where I’m from we only respect top quality lyricists. In the upper echelon, they ride first class on a higher plane!
6) The Rap Clark Gable rips mics then he’s Gone With The Wind as YOUR OLD DROOG’s price goes up on a K-NITE 13 seared smash called “3 MILLI!!!” The production on this joint is so cinematically foreboding we can literally envision The Grim Reaper digging Droog’s enemy’s grave!!! YOD spits so many ill bars he’s making competitors sick. Life’s a “Movie” & Droog’s the director shouting orders onstage!
7) The god RAKIM returns to put rappers in check on a self-laced joint featuring Tha Dogg Pound’s lyrical king KURUPT x Wu-Tang Clan’s deadly assassin MASTA KILLA!!! “Be ILL” finds the marvelous microphone fiend manifesting the type of bars that led him to rearrangin’ the entire game in the 80’s! It’s a “Rebirth” of the sound we cherished for decades! It’s been a long time but Ra never left us!!!
8) DJ MUGGS x RAZ FRESCO will be here FOREVER!!! How do we know? Because they dropped “The Eternal Now!” If you’re lookin’ for the perfect sound stop searching and park your ass in front of the speakers! This joint serves as the ideal summer joint to put on your playlist. Experience sonic bliss from now until eternity!!!
9) We walked into the den, peeped out the window, and literally saw PASSPORT RAV working out in our backyard!!! On the magical DJ PRIORITY laced gem “Cardio,” the kinetic rhyme slayer recalls memories and spits truths we can all learn from. “What’s the purpose of this agonizing place/see it hurts at first but now I maximize the space.” Don’t let life be the crutch that holds you down. Bulk up, get focused, face your fears and win!!!
10) Many of us live in a metropolis but THE BAD SEED turns New York into a “Diddybopolis” on a “Four Finger Ring II” banger powered by NAM NITTY!!! The merciless mic mercenary dances across the graves of his enemies while delivering the best rhymes you’ll find throughout the concrete jungle! Ain’t no need to go out to the club tonight. Just PRESS PLAY & you can get your boogie on at home!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
