Don’t Sleep On These New Releases
Insomniac Magazine propels listeners into a place where boom bap & dope bars rule the industry! Get yourself in gear & tap in to the Weekly Top Ten!!!
1) DANIEL SON & SCAMROCK convene with CRIMEAPPLE & MO RUKUZ for an adrenaline-fueled heater called “Frostbite!!!” The “Rosetta Stone” scorcher is a stone cold sizzler that alternates between Crime’s energized launch of attack, Mo’s raspy reflections, and Daniel Son’s deadly delivery. When the treacherous trio get together rivals scatter! They fuel the fire & bring suckers to their knees!!!
2) A history-making film is being helmed on another planet; scored by SB11 with MICKEY DIAMOND as the lead!!! “Cinema 6” is the first reel released from the “Heavenly Unknown” project & best believe it’ll break all box office records! The gripping instrumentation will make you think that the world’s coming to an end before Mick swoops in outta nowhere to rush & save it!!!
3) “What Diddy Gone Do?” One man might have the answer. And his name is AGALLAH THE DON! On the incendiary sizzler, Ag lets it be known that when you’re a rich & powerful mogul who happens to be a minority, it’s only a matter of time before the FEDS will come breaking down your door! You don’t need sex tapes, AR-15s, or 1,000 bottles of baby oil to be guilty in the eyes of the jury. All you need is the wrong shade of skin! There’s a birthmark on your back in the shape of a target.. so move in silence, stack your cash, & be humble!!!
4) “Blues Hounds” CLOAQXDAGGER, P-RO & SHALOM make MCS freeze on brand new heat called “Desert Eaze!” The track conjures classic “Ready To Die” era Biggie with its indestructible arrangement of in-the-trunk funk!!! Lyrics hit hard like hollow points to the head! When the crew enter town opps hit the pavement!!!
5) SIRREALIST, VEL NINE, CONWAY THE MACHINE & FLEE LORD have us lookin’ over our shoulder on a colossal DOUGH NETWORKZ presentation!!! “Paranoia” is one of those joints that forces you to zone in to the lyrics while simultaneously appreciating the potency of the beat! If the competition weren’t scared before they checked out this track they will be when they finally get to listen!
6) MC LYTE bumrushes the underground with Wu-Tang juggernaut GHOSTFACE KILLAH & the ever elusive LIL MAMA!!! On “Lyte Ghost Lil Mama,” the triumphant triumvirate lean into a searing soundscape expertly laced by KING OF CHILL to warn aspiring artists of the treachery of the music industry. When the deals go south and the fans move on remind yourself you’re “1 of 1” and rise to the top!!!
7) STACK SKRILLA dives into a pool of YUNO constructed sonic opulence and performs the backstroke for all adoring fans to witness. “Villain And Monster” is a “Factory Reset” sizzler completely drenched in soul and embedded with passionate bars! Skrilla knows what he wants and fully delivers. His verses showcase a new level of emotional depth!!!
8) BLU x EXILE are “Undisputed” champions of the underground!!! When it comes to consistent high quality material, few MCs can measure up to Blu’s output! He always manages to throw a few curveballs into his rhymes that make you smile and acknowledge him as one of the best. Exile ignites the lyricist’s limitless creativity to make “Love (the) Ominous World” a fantastic opus well worth the listen!
9) We already have one SCAMROCK & DANIEL SON track on the countdown but this “Coliflower Ear” joint couldn’t be ignored!!! THE BAD SEED & WEAPON E.S.P. featured masterwork kept runnin’ thru our mind like an evil earwig burrowing into our cerebellum!!! Seed & ESP’s verses are nothin’ short of spectacular & Daniel Son slays ’em on the hook!!!
10) MESSAGE TO ALL ARTISTS: If you think your record label’s looking out for you you’re sadly mistaken!!! The legendary CRAIG G breaks down the truth behind “The Okey Doke” on new audio heat laced by THE MANORAIL!!! Corporate antics get amplified if sales start to slide as rap beefs turn to bloodshed before the blink of an eye. Some sell their soul in service of selling records. But when the streaming numbers don’t add up it’s the beginning of the end. Go the independent route & invest in yourself!…Or the crooked industry will surely do you in!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
