Don’t Sleep On These New Releases
Insomniac Magazine puts in work to come thru with another illustrious edition of the Weekly Top Ten! Get yourself in gear & tap in below!!!
1) Get your umbrellas out because the reign of SUBSTANCE810 continues as he joins forces with JAMIL HONESTY & MICKEY DIAMOND for a jaw-droppin’ JR SWIFTZ laced heater called “Danger Zone!!!” You know a flood of high level lyricism is about to pour down on the underground when fans hit PLAY on this “Makin Waves 2: The Tsunami” sonic sizzler! Escaping the wrath of the crew is out of the question so take your beatdown like a man & fall in line!!!
2) 38 SPESH, CONWAY THE MACHINE & BENNY THE BUTCHER slaughter the competition on a new “Speshal Machinery” mega banger called “Goodfellas!” The joint reinforces the power of resilience as the triumphant trio recount the L’s they took that led them to a win! These days the L’s they take involve livin’ lavishly as the losers that bet against them are left flailin’ in the wind!
3) There’s somethin’ on our mind so let’s “Talk About It,”…and it’s the fact that PAUL WALL & TERMANOLOGY just dropped off the hottest joint of the summer! LARGE PROFESSOR is behind the boards for this funky track that finds the duo delivering a lethal dosage of dopeness to the underground! If you’re rushin’ off to the cookout bring this gem long and watch it amp up the crowd for the rest of the weekend!!!
4) F**k punchin’ in the clock!!! TY DA DALE, V DON, and BABY MAINE are jumpin’ “Out The Pot” with 100 grams of audio heat!!! “The Raid” powder keg boils with intensity, rage, and an unyielding determination to steamroll over any sucker standing in the way of success! The joint’s a testament to their tenacity and prime motivation to take control of your life & make moves on your own!!!
5) If Marvin Gaye was a cold-blooded assassin with an unmatched prowess on the mic he would most certainly be ROC MARCIANO!!! On THE ALCHEMIST laced sizzler “Turkey Wings,” the lyrical icon fulfills listeners’ fantasies by becoming the Black Bond we’ve all been waiting for! He’ll bust a dope rhyme, seduce your lady, and complete an Ethan Hunt styled mission before the tape self destructs! The track is a definite game changer. Ain’t no mission impossible when you’re THIS supremely talented!
6) APOLLO BROWN & PLANET ASIA keep dishin’ out the “Sardines” & we keep wolfin’ ’em down like a pack of hungry seals at Sea World!!! “Broad Dayin'” is the latest top tier showcase from the project and it had us robbin’ muthaf***as at gunpoint before returning the loot a day later to repent for our sins!!! In the blink of an eye a rapper’s career can be over…but Planet Asia is one MC who will last forever!!!
7) AGASAKI LO could care less about your wack tracks because it’s pretty obvious he has a whole vault of dope joints to choose from!!! On “Peace Allah,” Ag hits another home run as he kicks facts to the listeners about the realities of life! It’s all about “Each One, Teach One” when the majestic mic messenger enters the room. Build with the god or best believe your whole world will soon crumble!
8) ELIGH & ALOEIGHT link up with MICKEY FACTZ & MAD SQUABLZ to conjure a jazz-fueled showcase for the ages on the “HALO BOY” heater “DR. MANHATTAN!” The BIG difference between this gem and the junk you hear on commercial radio is that the lyrics and production filter through the very essence of your soul and leave you with a full experience that you wish to revisit time & time again. It’s like reading a good book that you never want to put down. No page turning required. Just PRESS PLAY and listen.
9) JOHNNY STORM pays homage to the late great Prodigy on a PANELS powered “Living Colour” sizzler titled “GHOST OF P PT. 2!” J.S. packs so much passion into his tour de force rhyme assault that you’ll want him to continue beyond the 2 minute mark and keep droppin’ verses til’ your speakers wear out!!! Skill, style, finesse, and PLENTY of presence are on display! Johnny Storm brings you into his world & reignites your love for the underground.
10) MIKE TITAN & P-RO deliver an unrestrained onslaught of elite lyricism over a glorious TALI RODRIGUEZ fueled audio heater titled “The Astro-Harness!” Nothing compares to top quality Hip Hop & the mic crusaders give it all they got on this spectacular selection from “The New Gods II!” Leave all expectations at the door & let your mind drift off to a higher plane. The sonic deities are about to speak & they come fully equipped to send shockwaves through your stereo!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
