Friendzone – Rest

steadybloggin — Wed, 30 May 2012 23:17:09 +0000

Another good Friendzone track. This one would sound great with somebody rapping on it (as opposed to some of their previous work which is best left in instrumental form.) Shady Blaze would kill on this, it feels very well suited to his cadence.

I guess Troy Ave has another mixtape coming out aside from Bricks In My Backpack 3D, that’s where these are from.

GMane & Dave Luxe – Late Nite Ridin Musik Vol.2 EP

steadybloggin — Wed, 30 May 2012 17:43:52 +0000

New GMane EP, this one assisted by producer Dave Luxe. GMane has been incredibly consistent over the last few years, this one doesn’t disappoint either. Teaming up with Luxe proves to be a good idea, he brings some great and very fitting beats to the table. There are also a few surprises thrown in to complement GMane’s usual m.o. – SLASH shows up as a producer (for the first time that I know of) and does rather well, and there’s a tastefully executed remake of ‘Mind Playing Tricks On Me’ that manages to take advantage of the Isaac Hayes sample without being too cloying.

Haleek Maul – 88 (Prod. The-Drum)

steadybloggin — Tue, 29 May 2012 23:25:28 +0000

I’m not sure if this kid deserves the blog hype, but I’ve listed to ‘Gully’ a whole whole lot since it dropped and this sounds very good too, so I’m cautiously optimistic.

VIDEO: Pepper Boy – My World

steadybloggin — Tue, 29 May 2012 22:48:33 +0000

This maybe the first time I’ve heard another rapper go over Lil B’s ‘I’m God’ instrumental and actually really make something of it. Everybody else’s attempts feel transitory by comparison, they guest on this beat without owning it. But Pepper Boy really invests himself, puts his heart on his sleeve and matches the raw emotion of the instrumental with sincere personal sentiment, and that effort pays off in a way that a throwaway freestyle never could.

Via SPIN, you can stream Pepper Boy’s whole upcoming EP there as well.

Denmark Vessey – Motivate Ft Cysion and Scud One

steadybloggin — Tue, 29 May 2012 22:11:06 +0000

New Leakly Weeks track from Crown Nation’s Denmark. Pretty good, but I’m still waiting for the ‘Thai Joint’ to drop in mp3.

Nacho Picasso & Blue Sky Black Death – Exalted (Album)

steadybloggin — Tue, 29 May 2012 21:48:25 +0000

Still catching up on things after vacation, I haven’t had a chance to give this an attentive listen yet. But I have faith in these guys and a quick sampling suggests it’s up to par with their 2 previous albums (i.e. good).

VIDEO: LaJIT – I Hate Things (Prod. by Nicodxmvs)

steadybloggin — Tue, 29 May 2012 20:49:43 +0000

Another new vid from LaJIT’s Black Sun EP. This one is supposed to be the first part of a video trilogy, I’m guessing the next two will be for ‘That Make Me’ and ‘Want To End Me’, the two tracks that follow ‘I Hate Things’ on the EP. As in the previous video we posted, LaJIT is obviously working out some serious issues out through his music here.

Kami de Chukwu – Laboratory Ft. Preston San (Prod By Jonwayne)

steadybloggin — Tue, 29 May 2012 20:29:54 +0000

One more good new track from Kami. Evil scientist rap here, complete with pulsing horror movie synths and sound effects.
