Daily Operation :: Chuck Duze And Company Drop ‘Every Damn Day’ Video

Posted on February 5, 2020 | Leave a comment

Chuck Duze has been putting out music videos in a nearly clockwork fashion these days, dropping an average of a music video a month for the past 6 months or so.  Most all of them have been entertaining, but something about his latest, Every Damn Day, captures some infectious magic that comes with a combination of vision, talent and luck.  The track, a Kato on the Track beat featuring guest verses from You F. Oh, Elephant In The Room and DMT~Realist, is a posse cut with plenty of bounce showcasing punchlines, wordplay and a catchy hook that will get stuck in your head nearly immediately.  The video enhances all of the best points of the song, using digital zooms and stylistic loops the subliminally drive home the ‘day to day’ aspect of the song, while showcasing several ridiculous scenarios for the MCs to indulge in.  This one, despite being released so early in the year, is bound to stick around, so check it out now, leave a like and a comment if you dig it, and spread it around for others to do the same.

Straight Spittin’ :: S.U.A.V.E. Squad Drops ‘Metahuman’

Posted on February 4, 2020 | Leave a comment

After a recent opening spot for Blackalicious, I had the pleasure of meeting RobbieSEE and TCtheMC, better known collectively as S.U.A.V.E. Squad.  It’d been a while since I’d met heads with the passion, respect and skill these two had, and after a few cyphers between my set and the Blackalicious set, TCtheMC and myself decided to stay in touch.  A day or so ago, after a handful of conversations about hip-hop (local and otherwise), Metahuman hit my inbox, and it crystalized everything the duo had been communicating to me perfectly.  Much like myself, the duo embraces their southern heritage, but the versatility found in the project screams die-hard hip-hop fans.  Every beat on this project is fire, and like the blog entry title says, I’m hard pressed to think of a pair of MCs I wasn’t already aware of spitting at this level.  The rhymes, wordplay and topics and intricate, expertly delivered and clearly from the heart, and they resonated immediately with me.  I highly recommend checking this one out, and sharing it around for others to do the same.

Personal Reflection :: Poolboi Blu’s ‘Mason’ Hits The Online Airwaves

Posted on February 3, 2020 | Leave a comment

a3258130168_10

The homie poolboi blu is back at it again, although in all honesty, he never really stops the creative vibes from flowing.  After dropping ANTSY and DIXIE, both of which gave us a bit of insight into poolboi‘s headspace and motivations, the trilogy of personal reflection finds completion with MASON, an incredibly strong balance of vibrant beats and sharp lyrics that not only display his influences, but are some of the best representations of how far he’s come along in the past year or so.  With poolboi already posting that he’s in the studio working on a follow-up, I’ll add MASON to the rotation as I wait for the next drop, which knowing poolboi, will probably be sooner than later.  Check out the project, cop it if you’ve got a few bucks, and spread it around for others to get hip to.

Shadow People :: Hatewaker Drops ‘Atmosphere’ Audio-Visual

Posted on January 31, 2020 | Leave a comment

Hatewaker hit the ground running in the wake of their creation.  From the inception of the band forward, the collective was quick to book shows, release a CD, and as of January of 2020, the group put out a dope music video.  Atmosphere is a display of efficient economy, with a simple disappearing/reappearing premise fueling the video.  The group certainly has their sound together, and the video is proof of that.  I can’t wait to see what they have in store for the future, video-wise or otherwise, as I know they’ll come with it regardless of the choice.

Free Association :: Poolboi Blu And Company Drop ‘Blkburban Freestyle’

Posted on January 29, 2020 | Leave a comment

Anyone who’s been paying attention to the world of poolboi blu lately knows that he’s got a strong working relationship going with SiCk ThOtS, and for the blkburban freestyle, the collective included J.K. The Reaper to increase the vibes.  A s i n c e r e R A D I O exclusive, the track has an amazing amount of vibeyness for such a laid back affair, especially with the nonchalance that some of the tongue-twisting lyrical work is delivered.  You already know it’s going to be quality work if it’s got the poolboi blu seal of approval, so don’t sleep.  Check out the track, leave a like and a comment, share it around, and follow s i n c e r e R A D I O for more exclusive tracks and mixes.

Swag Surfin’ :: Norman BA$E Talks Game On ‘FREE MAX B’

Posted on January 28, 2020 | Leave a comment

The homie Norman BA$E stays not only creating, but showing love, via his music and events.  His catalog is full of tracks he’s dropped over the years with storyteller vibes, beats that sit in the grey area between different shades of hip-hop, and creative videos to accompany many of the tracks, and FREE MAX B is no exception to that.  The track (and video) tell the story of BA$E taking an opportunity that many of us would not pass on, and the seemingly South Park-esque video is a good accompaniment to the track.  Check it out, leave a like and a comment if you dig it, and share it around for all to see.

With FUTURESOON coming right around the corner, Brainwaave was recently offered the opportunity to create some buzz via TIMEWHEEL.  Brainwaave took the opportunity to not only give us a sonic palette cleanser in preparation, but he also put the shine on a number of local producers and MCs as well via a strong mix set now streaming on the TIMEWHEEL RADIO SHOW.  With the likes of Vegetable Kingdom, Honey Son, Black Davinciii, Butcher Bear and myself, and many, many more making appearances, it’d be silly to not check out the mix, so dive in, leave a like and a comment if you dig, and share it around so everyone can get prepped for FUTURESOON.

Visionary Bars :: KB The Boo Bonic Teams Up With Devin The Dude For ‘Blew Eyez’

Posted on January 24, 2020 | Leave a comment

It’s not even summer yet, and KB the Boo Bonic has already decided to drop a summer banger in the form of the soon to be smoker’s anthem Blew Eyez.  The track is already smooth as hell, but when the legendary Devin the Dude drops in for the assist on the hook, it elevates everything to a new level, and KB more than steps up to the plate on the verse work.  Her flow has bounce, her voice has confidence, and the bars are (obviously) right on point in terms of the topic at hand.  I hadn’t heard from KB in a minute musically, so it’s good to know that she’s still putting in work and rubbing elbows with the proper company.  Shout out to Dions Cartoons for lacing KB with a memorable as hell video as well.

Combustible Combo :: Blackillac Goes In Once Again With ‘Big Bang’

Posted on January 23, 2020 | Leave a comment

Blackillac is usually known for high energy, braggadocious, in your face tracks, but for 2020, it appears that they are planting the flag of creative range and stylistic variety.  Big Bang, the latest track and video from the duo, finds them utilizing a different flow than normal over a hypnotic track, with plenty of inter-song referential use to weave between the dual chorus that provides the song a foundation.  Zeale and Phranchyze also manage to show tons of confidence in the most reserved way possible.  This is definitely another winner from a winning team, and the Dan2TheL-directed video helps boost the experience.  Check it out, leave a like and a comment, and share it around!
