Your favorite part of the week to find some new music is here. Our collection today is a big larger than usual, but hey, we can’t help it if the talent is out there. Sound off on our Twitter (@TheSource). If you can do better yourself, submit a track or video to SYLR@thesource.com.
Denzil Porter (feat. Swerve Mitch) – “The OtherSide”
Produced by Lavish, not this Lavish, this track features fellow WreckHouse rapper and would give Dr. Seuss the spins with the word play.
Chris Faust (feat. Donwill) – “Black Manta” (Prod. by Hannibal King)
Hear the thoughts of a “VILLAIN” who doesn’t sweat the small stuff while he plans to take over the rap game with VILLAIN: Issue Three of Three this Winter.
Lyriq – “Confidence”
This is something for all the single ladies to get ready to for tonight’s festivities… Okay, those in a relationship can down to this as well.
Ryshon Jones – “American-Dreamless” (Prod. by HighLeef)
As the Philly emcee gets ready to drop Hope Is A Dangerous Thing (1/13), he tells you how it really is when it comes to chasing the American Dream.
J $tash (feat. Yung Gleesh) – “Trap Star” (Prod. by Chopper Beatz
The GBE/Sluttyboyz affiliate Yung Gleesh joins J to help explain the Merriam-Webster like definition of a trap star.
Alex Wiley – “The Truth” (Prod. Odd Couple)
The Closed Sessions emcee is back with new music since his debut album, Club Wiley. This is just one track off of a 4 track EP.
Dem Atlas x Bomba de Luz – “Who Loves The Snow?” (Prod. by XELA)
The newest Rhymesayers emcee rocks out with Bomba and singer Lydia Liza for the ride home tonight after your double.
Dag Savage (Johaz & Exile) (feat. CO$$, Gonja Sufi & Blu) – “God Body”
Each of these California emcees should be familiar to you at this point. There are a lot of things I could say about each of them. Instead, form your own opinions by just hitting play.
B. Steels – “Oochie Wally (Freestyle)”
Living in Harlem has taught B. Steels a lot of things you don’t learn in school. Here’s your first night lesson on the streets.
ForteBowie – “SideNote: SideHoe”
ForteBowie has grown on me a lot in the last few months. He holds no punches in this self produced Friday Night Jam.
Calez – “Off That” (Prod. by Hippie Sabotage)
When you create a song that uses “my music is a drug” metaphor, a few things need to fall into place to make it work-the beat, being subtle, and actually making that song induce some type of altered state. 2008ighties 2080 emcee does just that.
