I’m da bomb like tick, tick, boom! I only hate one thing more than everyone talking about how hot it is-when I start talking about how hot it is. Why can’t everyone talk about how we can fix our legal system or if ore mining in Africa will be handled the right way over the next 5 years for small talk? Well, let’s be real. None of that is happening any time soon. Instead, let’s start some buzz around these singles and videos because I’m sure they’re way more exciting than how much you’ve sweated since your last shower…
MidWay – “Keep It Funky”
The duo from TCU in Texas slow things down to make sure you catch every word they spit. Look out for FunEmployment: Volume 1 by the end of the summer.
Kevin Sinatra – “Ride With Me”
Jump on the bandwagon for Sinatra before you look like a fake fan. He started from the bottom and he’s still there. Something tells me it’s not all about the top for Sinatra.
Denzel Curry – “Live This Sh*t”
SpaceGhostPurrp on the spaced out boards. This won’t be on Denzel’s upcoming N64 album in September, which makes the expectations for the actual project shoot that much higher.
Propain (feat. Kirko Bangz & Slim Thug) – “Got A Problem”
This comes off of his Ridin Slab mixtape. This beat and lyrics could make a gangster cry. No shame.
Blame One & J57 – “B.L.A.M.E.57″
This reminds me heavily of some Wu-Tang Clan and I can never get enough of the Wu. Expect this on Walk in the Sun which will be available August 27th, 2013. DJ Rhettmatic on the cuts.
Willie The Kid (feat. Action Bronson & Roc Marciano) – “Medusa”
Seriously guys, Willie The Kid can spit. He’s got an arsenal of unique flows, which will be showcased on his Alchemist produced project, Masterpiece Theatre (7/23).
Ken Rebel (feat. branDun DeShay & Big Vic) – “Rebel Life (Remix)”
I’ve heard some beef other NYC rappers have with Ken Rebel. I attribute that hate to his unconventional delivery. Listen to his stories on this track and let the light be shined on your ignorance. This remix also features solid verses from branDun and Big Vic.
Gabriel Stark (feat. FowL) – “Help (Independence Day)”
Yes, I’m a sucker for big horn driven beats. But I’m also a sucker for fast flows with clever punchlines. FowL may sound familiar since he did win the Eminem-hosted Red Bull EmSee Freestyle Battle. Look out for Gabriel’s Game 7 coming soon!
