Don’t Sleep On These New Releases
Insomniac Magazine keeps the underground boiling with high intensity heat on our Weekly Top 10! Get yourself in gear & tap in below!
1) PETER ROSENBERG has been keeping listeners entertained for years as one of Hot 97’s foremost on-air personalities. NOW he transmits his infectious energy to wax for a brand new WESTSIDE GUNN featured sizzler! The JR SWIFTZ & BVLVM laced warning shot from the radio host’s upcoming “Real Life” compilation sounds like the Flygod’s ready for war! Suckers can step to him with unwavering bravado but they’ll get stomped out ’til they’re a “Stain” on the floor!
2) BLIZZ FROM JUICE, ETO & LORD GOAT show off their “War Trophies” on an ASETIC powered heat rock called “Schism!” The rhyme rippers get malevolent on the mic for three and a half minutes of sonic savagery that will have you wishing for 3 minutes more! This is a hardcore thrill ride for all true heads. They’re locked & loaded on a joint that’s shootin’ up the charts!!!
3) CONWAY always delivers heart-stopping audio excitement which is probably why he chose CARDIAK to lace the high-powered production! On “Blood Roses,” The Machine transmits thought-provoking bars, hardcore threats, and even accelerates his rhyme pattern for s***s & giggles! JAE SKEESE brings it all home with a rugged chorus. It’s God-Level lyricism few can achieve!
4) O FINESS teaches ya some harsh lessons on the super-charged “Scar Of Life” power gem “69 Muscle!” With ill production assassin INTIFADA BEATS riding shotgun, the two travel the terrain in a candy Chevelle blastin’ weak ass competitors! This is the type of road trip that works best with a revolver. Take a detour from your troubles & PRESS PLAY!
5) ALPHA_BETIC & SHADOW MAGNETIC link up with SUPREME CEREBRAL to bring “Knowledge, Wisdom & Understanding” to the world at large! On the “Alpha Shadow” audio triumph, our underground heroes delve into the realities of being Black & poor in America. The lyricists’ electrifying elocution is reflective, heartfelt, and ultimately inspiring! Society wants you to believe that your current station in life is one of permanence but we suggest you shut out all naysayers & set yourself up to win!
6) KING AUTHOR x ZAGNIF NORI eradicate all opposition with the “Final Kill!” Equipped with heavy lyrical artillery & sonic C-4 by THE QUARTER INCH KINGS, each MC snuffs out your set in a matter of seconds! It’s The Last Mile for all you unworthy competitors. You stepped up to battle…Now your execution awaits!
7) CERTAIN.ONES probably won’t torture you before eviscerating your entire crew but that’s “Subject To Change” at any time. When you see BOBBY CRAVES, FORTIFIED MIND, CHAMPUS MAXIMUS & DALI bodying a DJ EVI DENZ track you should already know that your fate is sealed…and if you’re foolish enough to think otherwise well hey, that’s on you. The unstoppable agents of the underground infiltrate every aspect of your listening experience & transform it into the muthaf***in’ highlight of the year!!!
8) ALLAH PREME x ESTEE NACK will keep rockin’ mics “Forever” and we couldn’t be more grateful! Over a breathtaking slice of sonic bliss from THE DOPE GOD, listeners get a chance to experience the power spitters elevating the culture with every celebrated verse! It ain’t like the fly by night s**t you’re hearing on the radio. Preme & Nack make music that’s everlasting!
9) CLARK CONNOISSEURS mic crusaders SUPREME CEREBRAL & ELOH KUSH join forces with the mighty JOHN ROBINSON for CLYPTO crafted heat called “Cheetah Print Wallys!” This joint provides the perfect intersection between the streets & spirituality as Bugzy Nino hits ya with the hard, head-spinnin’ bars before Eloh & John get metaphysical on dat ass! At the end of the day it’s substance over style but this ill track is a brilliant mixture of both!
10) TRUWERDZ allows us to conclude our countdown with a BANG & it doesn’t matter what time of day it is, you’re always in for a “Good Morning” when you hear this song! Here’s the ideal example of an MC who works tirelessly at honing his craft until he becomes your favorite lyricist of all time. Then again, who says he already isn’t? With a track this dope he’s well on his way!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
