Don’t Sleep On These New Releases
Insomniac Magazine ushers in a new Golden Era of Hip Hop giants!!! Get yourself ready for action & tap in to the Weekly Top Ten!!!
1) SUBSTANCE810 teams up with O THE GREAT & DJ GRAZZHOPPA for a gothic mega gem titled “Gargoyles!!!” The CLYPTO powered “Wise Words” sizzler is enough to “make a n***a go CRAAAZYYY” after absorbing a full blast of elite lyricism, cuts, & production. The lyrical leader on this track is called Substance for a reason because he brings top quality material to the underground every time!!!
2) We saw DNTE & WYZE WONDA emerge on the set & experienced “Cinematic Murder” in real time!!! Homicides were carried out in the most graphic way possible with gunshots and screams heightening the tension in Dolby Stereo! “Featherweight” finds the diabolical duo gettin’ ready to rumble with the opposition looking on in fear! Dealers should never get high off their own supply but this dope’ll have the most disciplined n***a feenin’!!!
3) JAMIL HONESTY & JAY ROYALE are taking listeners back to “The Chipped Tooth Era” with a JR SWIFTZ laced heater that conjures “94 Nas!!!” Unlike many of their modern day contemporaries, the duo focus on substance over style and excel with every awe-inspiring rhyme! Take a trip down memory lane & represent. Who’s world is this? It becomes apparent when you tap in below!!!
4) RAKIM links up with 38 SPESH, SKYZOO & the late, great FRED THE GODSON for a trip through “God’s Playground!” The energy on this track operates at such a high level that you won’t be able to sit still in your seat! The glorious celebration is all we need to get by and it even comes complete with a DMX prayer at the end!
5) Jesus Christ…DJ PREMIER’s done it again!!! LIL WAYNE, RICK ROSS & BIG SEAN take centerstage on “Ya Don’t Stop” and sound better than they do on their own individual releases!!! Preemo’s insane production on this joint conjures visions of a tornado plowing through our home and whisking us to a magical land far, far away! If it takes a natural disaster to introduce dope music we’ll steady ourselves and let the chips fall where they may!
6) THE BAD SEED is off the wall wit’ it on a DRAWZILLA laced heat rock that proves he’s “Nice Like That!!!” TONE SPLIFF supplies amped up turntable action on the super-charged cut that showcases the mic wizard’s impressive lyrical dexterity. This is a joint that’ll keep you pumped up all week! You might have skills…but compared to Seed ain’t nobody nicer!!
7) SEAN PRICE’s passing left a huge crater in the underground so VIC SPENCER crafts a new release for “The Apes That Was Left Behind!!! On a DOC DA MINDBENDA powered sizzler, The King of Living is joined by the late, lyrical legend & DJ ANTHONY MACE for a victorious thriller titled “Distorted Views!!!” The mic champions deliver modern art at its finest and bring the trophy home for the entire DUCK DOWN team!!!
8) RAW THESUS & BOBBY CRAVES dispatch all the keyboard warriors attempting to track their algorithm and win big with a new sizzler laced by WANN SKLOBI!!! “Technology Rules” everything around us but CERTAIN.ONES use all opposing applications to their advantage! If you feel intimidated by Apple and want to get away from it all just know that The Ones have come to save the day!!!
9) P-RO & ASUN EASTWOOD put their lives under a microscope and examine the all-important details that made them who they are!!! The MELLO DEE crafted heater “Look Closer” is a noble investigation into the essence of man and how one’s behavior can be determined by his immediate surroundings. Your environment doesn’t have to dictate your actions. But it takes a strong will to conquer the negativity!
10) PUNCHLINE x CONFIDENCE settle the score on new heat called “It’s All Fair!” The master lyricist & sonic warlord showcase the perfect creative chemistry on a track designed to immediately captivate your attention. Rival crews will run back to the lab trying to construct a joint half as good. But the final result is that they’ll end up failing miserably!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
