Don’t Sleep On These New Releases
Insomniac Magazine’s got ’em gathered ’round the cookout & blastin’ beats as they throw meat on the grill! Get yourself in gear & tap in to the Weekly Top Ten!!!
1) CHEKAR KAREEM enlists heavy hitters ILLPO & PONCHO to drop some “Raw S**t” on a BLANK MAN powered bonanza from “Black Messiah Rap Vol. 3!!!” The second the beat drops you realize you’re standing in a minefield of audio explosives…and there’s no escaping the unremitting fury of the lyrical artillery! You can try to run for cover but you’re immediately enveloped in a powder keg of production designed to blow you away!!! All underground heads feen for music that’s raw. But it’s s**t like this that gets our heart pumping!!!
2) “Watch Out Now” cause INNOCENT? & STAN DA MAN are slaying every sucker in sight!!! The lyrical executioner & production powerhouse get down to business and desecrate the false rap idols you’ve been praising. You never, ever wanna get on their bad side but if you do just know it’s your last day on earth!!!
3) We need more! We need more! And DANIEL SON gave it to us!!! You already know FUTUREWAVE’s on tap for production as they roll out new heat called “Musashi!!!” The funky, laid back sizzler provides added confirmation that their upcoming “Bushman Bodega” album is destined to be a classic. All it takes is one listen & you’re hooked forever! Separate wit’ the partition & PRESS PLAY!!!
4) GRIME LORDS BORN UNIQUE & PETE TWIST join forces with SUPREME CEREBRAL for new audio dope titled “Polo Duffle!!!” Bugzy & Born’s fast-paced lyrical attack is perfectly on point with the frenzy & ominous allure of the minimalistic soundscape! If you were raised in the Golden Era you’re cut from a different cloth. These underground avengers take Hip Hop back to its origins!
5) AGALLAH THE DON addresses the latest attempt to create division in Hip Hop on his brand new banger “Black Puerto Rican Culture!” The underground assassin dives into the fact social media’s got ya f**ked up by showcasing outstanding artistry to highlight his contributions! The next time you wanna debate something stop playing follow the leader. Do the research on your own & PRESS PLAY!!!
6) COMMON x PETE ROCK’s got “All Kind Of Ideas” & they’re puttin’ a few of ’em on display via their new heater from “The Auditorium, Vol. 1!” It’s always a pleasure when Pete steps to the mic & he showers the booth with fly bars before Common shuts the set down! A light bulb just popped up over our head & told us it would be a good idea to just go ahead & PRESS PLAY!
7) Ain’t nothin’ nice when POPOFF scours through the concrete jungle on a JPATZ powered steamroller titled “Dirty City!!!” Baby mama drama, addicts, and dangerous alleyways are all things to avoid when you’re comin’ to this part of town. Popoff will be there waitin’ for you & he’ll also send you off in a casket when your corpse makes the long trip back home!
8) UFO FEV x FREDRO STARR get into some “UFO Teknology” on a “Strapped” sizzler featuring TERMANOLOGY & TEK!!! The lyrical rampage is even deadlier than you could ever imagine as rhymes fly forcefully & freely throughout the atmosphere! Experience the sonic savagery in all its glory. Swing the hammer like the son of Zeus & tap in below!!!
9) BOLDY JAMES & CONDUCTOR WILLIAMS supply “Terms And Conditions” that we’re happy to follow after listening to this lyrical triumph! WE’VE GOT A PROBLEM, WE’VE GOT A PROBLEM…and it comes down to the fact that nothing else can ever compare! Vibe out to this slice of sonic transcendence then go “Across The Tracks” & tell everyone what they’ve been missing!
10) It’s not enough that OLD MAN GALACTUS is devouring our planet. He’s also terrorizing our minds with a sinister new slice of sonic insanity!!! “Lovecraft vs Hitchcock” contains all the trippy flourishes and comic asides from GUTTAMOUF’s outlandish character…but this time he’s doubling down on the fun! When 2 horror icons engage in battle the suspense of the outcome might kill you…unless OMG gets to you first!!!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
