Back like we never left. God, I hate that expression… Anyway, the second week of “Never On Schedule, But Always On Time” is here for you to bring in the weekend, because sometimes you need a little something different after listening to the radio for a week straight on the way to/back from work.
Quick note: If an artist is included in this post, it’s no diss to the artist. I’m not saying these artists haven’t made it or necessarily need the extra shine here. I’m just trying to bring certain artists to your attention that you may not be as familiar with. If you already know about them, then support them!
JSWISS – “My Mercedes”
Sometimes it’s not as easy as you think it would be to have a nice whip. Let the New York emcee tell you about his “experiences.”
Easy Yves Saint – “NY2PA”
The Niceguys emcee, who has one of the more clever names I’ve seen in a while, is going solo for his upcoming mixtape, Clock Work. If you haven’t already, I strongly urge you to check out The Show by The Niceguys.
K. Sparks (feat. Nation) – “Blindfolds”
Haven’t heard new music from K. Sparks in a while so needless to say (I missed “Autumn Blues”), this track caught my attention. His album, Self Portrait is coming sooner than later.
Ran$ah – “Get Rich” (prod. by BeazyTymes)
This Chicago rapper is still in high school. Yeah, I said high school. He’s a little rough around the edges but if he keeps this up, be sure to look out for him.
K-Def (feat. Blu & Quartermaine) – “The Fundamentals”
Hopefully you’ve heard of Blu by now. Not only is Quartermaine’s verse dope, but K-Def does a phenomenal job at recreating “Sunshine Of Your Love.”
Blue Sky Black Death with SAS (feat. Cam’ron & P.A.P.I.) – “Valley of Kings”
BSBD has been steady making some trippy production for a slew of artists (Donnis, Deniro Farrar, Nacho Picasso). And on their latest single they get some big timers to step into the booth. Look out for the collaborative album from BSBD and SAS, called Celestial.
Russ – “Yung Pacino”
The DIEMON art collective from Atlanta is a very talented one. Here is one of their rapper’s latest video from Russ, who edited, shot, and produced the video and track.
Dally Auston – “W$GTM”
Chicago SaveMoney representative, Dally Auston, wants to let you know that the Westside of town gets money as well. “W$GTM” comes off of The WOOD EP.
Kepstar – “Wish Me Luck”
Get ready for some old fashioned, blue collar Hip-Hop, especially today, when One World Trade Center was structurally completed. Kepstar released a trailer for his upcoming mixtape, Wish Me Luck, over a Rocky-esque beat.
