Insomniac Magazine brings you a stellar selection of serious heat on the latest edition of the Weekly Top Ten! Gear up for action & tap in below!!!

1) OL MAN 80zz is no ordinary producer. He’s a sonic juggernaut!!! On his colossal mega cut featuring mic maniacs PHAT KAT, ASUN EASTWOOD & RECOGNIZE ALI, the behind the boards beast hits listeners with a sinister soundscape that registers danger’s right around the corner! Before ya know it, the lyrical “Gunsmithz” enter the saloon & blast their rival outlaws into the far reaches of history!

2) If ya wanna know what victory sounds like check out the new KNG BONDALERO laced banger from the NO FACE KREW!!! “The Hate Different” hits HARD & refuses to let up as rhyme renegades raised from “a bloodline of bandits” wreak havoc all over the world at large!!! This joint ain’t for the faint-hearted. It’s a rampage set to music! Now get into the zone!!!

3) STARKER makes a deliberate attempt to terrorize the opps & SUCCEEDS on SLIM ONE laced production heat called “8 Mile!” “The Riviera EP” audio sizzler finds the mic savage alternating the speed of his flow from slow and steady to a rapid fire frenzy! It all adds up to one thing…the final death knell for the competition!!!

4) Whenever listeners need to be reminded how dope the underground is they should refer back to this undisputed banger from THE BAD SEED & SNOWGOONS!!! On “Funk Flex,” Niggalis Cage speaks directly to the embattled radio staple to let him know there’s more to Hip Hop than the musings of the mainstream. When Flex hears how insane this track sounds he’ll be boom-bangin’ it on the airwaves all month long!!!

5) MEYHEM LAUREN & DARINGER land another chart-buster on the Top 10 with the HOLOGRAM featured heater “Raspberry Crush!” The “Black Vladimir” banger flaunts raw rhymes from the mic rippers with a slick delivery from HG to smooth things over! “…will run up in the crib/get your kid!” Hide your loved ones when ya pump this up LOUD!!!

6) ESTEE NACK x AL.DIVINO flex some ill maneuvers on DJ MASTAMIND crafted heat called “I-RAK!” It’s not enough that they break the booth every time they join forces…but they gotta murder all MCS too!!! Check out the deadly duo slingin’ heavy artillery! Gather the troops & prepare for war!!!


7) We don’t know if ROC MARCIANO & THE ALCHEMIST actually have “The Elephant Man’s Bones” in their possession but they’re definitely packin’ “Zip Guns”(with mic champ KNOWLEDGE THE PIRATE joining in for a lyrical assist)! The rhyme kings work wonders over an ominous soundscape that heightens the tension and leaves listeners on the edge of their seat! You can take your best shot…but you’ll never be as dope as this crew!

8) It’s time to spread some rumors about MR PHORMULA & LORD WILLIN. We hear they’re hard workin’ and are known for droppin’ top tier bars at a moment’s notice! Sources have now confirmed that’s true so let’s gear up for a blast of serious HEL CLECS heat!!! On “No Holding Us Back,” exotic instrumentation evolves into a boom bap explosive for the ages! The lyrical powerhouses are a true force of nature! Their combined skill & determination make them unstoppable!!!

9) When AMADEUS360 THE BEAT KING said “I Better Be Your Favorite Producer,” we didn’t know he would put the pressure on with an ill CRAIG G featured sizzler called “Pop Off!” The Juice Crew legend flaunts fantastic flows & unleashes an endless supply of energy on a tantalizing track impossible to ignore!!! Hands down, this is some dope s**t! Okay Amadeus, you won us over! It ain’t the first time & it definitely won’t be the last!!!

10) CA$ABLANCA & TITOTHECZAR live a life you can only dream of as they chase away all rivals on CAP CHINO crafted heat called “No Retreat!” Tito’s silky flow serves as a highly effective set up for Cas’ merciless mic attack while the chorus reminds the comp that they have no other choice but to run!

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