Don’t Sleep On These New Hip Hop Releases
Insomniac Magazine delivers another week of chart busting sonic explosives! Get set for the latest Top 10 excitement & check out the list below!
1) JAY HOLLY x ILLY FONTAINE drop joints that put other MCs to shame & now they’re “Tap Dancing” on the game! The VITTO_HIMSELF crafted audio insanity sounds like a peaceful night at Camp Crystal Lake was interrupted by TWO Jason-mask wearing psychopaths who started slashing everything in sight! Hardcore rhymes attack the set in rapid succession & even knock the hinges off the door! True heads can’t get enough of this heat. That’s why listeners come back craving for more!
2) When you think of ill lyricism one of the first names that comes to mind should be WILLIE THE KID. Now pair him up with a renowned producer(also known for exceptional rhyme exhibitions)and you get a spectacular sonic heater that can’t be ignored. EVIDENCE provides the production on the “Capital Gains” master cut “Egregious” & he showers the power spitter’s prestigious bars with godly opulence. When you nod your head to this hold onto your seat. This joint will shake you up & take you for a ride!
3) AGALLAH x SADAT X hit ya with “Today’s Math” while delivering stellar collabo heat from “The Gods Have Arrived!” Y’all lost souls wandering around the underground need guidance!!! These legendary powerhouses don’t just drop knowledge…they also whip your ass for not listening! Sometimes you gotta get the belt out for the lil’ homies. Class is in session. Now it’s time to get schooled!
4) COACH BOMBAY 3000 x ROME STREETZ leave suckers huggin’ the bench as they “Score 50” on all you wack ass suckas! WORK SCORSESE harnesses his sonic powers and coaches the team to a win as the lyrical technicians SLAM DUNK supreme bars in your face!!! Who got game? THEY DO!!! Take your ass back to practice & let these pros play!
5) WHATA MESS savagely rips the set on a MR. AL powered banger called “Gorillaz!” The track sounds like the MC bumrushed a congregation of Gregorian chanting monks & started spittin’ hardcore rhymes in a cipher! When the mic beast speaks we listen. No one’s safe from his lyrical wrath! You should’ve known what you were in for! If you were afraid to battle why the f*** did you enter the jungle?!?
6) BODYBAGBEN, INDIGO PHOENYX & XP THE MARXMAN slaughter your entire set on a “Burn The Sun” banger titled “Murda Mantra!” With Ben behind the boards you KNOW you’re getting the best production in the biz! Add two of the most elite spitters to the mix and the result is a homicidal heat fest you’ll be replaying all day! Where did Hip Hop go? Muthaf***a it’s right here!!! Pay homage to these future icons & ALWAYS respect the skills!
7) When it’s “3AM In Brooklyn” s**t’s bound to go down! Take for example this Molotov music massacre conjured by production god ROBERT DENIRO & microphone mavericks RIM x SUPREME CEREBRAL! “New York Giants” showcases the lyrical juggernauts stomping thru the city and ending rappers’ careers! You tried to step to them. Now take your L and go elsewhere!
8) ICON CURTIES & VIC SPENCER are known for giving you the “Bare Maximum”…which is why there are no limits when it comes to their careers. When you work as hard as they do you only align yourself with the best in your field, so of course the illustrious ETO joins them on “Havoc & Rage!” I.C. gets the party started with an appropriately regal backdrop while leaving the sonic channels wide open for the MCs to do their thang! Always remember, you gotta lay in the bed you make. So if ya miss out on this gem you’re gonna regret it later!
9) Somewhere in the far corners of the Netherlands resides a supreme being known as DEAMS. The divine mic deity is known for dropping celestial bars and conjuring cinematic tales of the universe. Mere mortals often struggle to decipher the sacred writings of “The Grand Designer” but peer into the eye of the volcano and all will be revealed! We cherish originality on these charts and Deams most definitely brings it with an ORCO powered track that sets him FAR apart from the pack. NOTHING about his delivery & presentation reminds us of anyone else currently on the market(and that’s a GOOD thing). Check out the creative genius in the early stages of his ascendance. This is his warning shot to the industry. PRESS PLAY & watch him rise.
10) YOUNG BLACK AND GIFTED represent “The Second Coming” of the Golden Era so it makes sense to conclude with these heatmakers on “Warfare!” AZARIAH & KIDD CALLED QUEST have been shaking the rafters of the underground foundation for awhile now so they know what it takes to create a certified smash! This is how Hip Hop should be done. Y’all best take notes & LISTEN!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
