New North Carolina rapper Deniro Farrar spits gangsta themed lyrics to a very soft beat in this song “Big Tookie”.
A Lil B song worth listening to. “Real Person Music”.
“TV on 10”. A new song from Aesop Rock & Kimya Dawson aka The Uncluded. The new album comes out tomorrow.
After listening to a few tracks off Acid Rap, I’m still trying to figure out how I feel about Chance the Rapper’s voice and flow.
Macklemore tends to go all out with his music videos in the same way guys like Kanye West and Michael Jackson do/did. This video takes us deep into the wilderness during a snow storm, to the deck of a pirate ship on the ocean, and even to the tip of Seattle’s iconic Space Needle. This is one epic party and no one can hold these guys back.
If Danny Brown’s recent solo projects were as good as his recent features, I would be really excited about Old. Here is a new music video for a song entitled “Street Lights” by a new rapper named Paul White ft. Danny Brown.
A few months back, Joey Badass premiered a preview screen shot of the music video for “Like Water” off their 2012 mixtape PeeP: The aPROclypse. But, for some reason, that video has yet to surface. Here is the first music video for a track off that celebrated mixtape. For the song “Overseas”, it appropriately shows Joey Badass, CJ Fly, and Kirk Knight hopping around Europe.
Last year, XXL decided to supply a beat for their freshmen and have a traditional cipher session. But this year each freshmen separately spit an a Capella freestyle. In this video, Joey Badass proves he’s not dependent on a beat to make himself sound good.
Upcoming Fool’s Gold signee, GrandeMarshall is the new guy to keep an eye on. On this track “Mugga Mugga”, his flow is unorthodox. He rhymes with a voice that’s nasal and slow paced, but as the song goes on his flow picks up a faster tempo. This unorthodox flow may turn off some and intrigue others.
Following the New York Renaissance show at this year’s SXSW, Peter Rosenberg created a mixtape showcasing all the new New York talent. Here is a track off that mixtape called “Day in the Life by Joey Bada$$ (produced by Harry Fraud).
“Express Yourself” produced by Trampy feat. Danny Brown
The Lone Warrior: Vulkan 'Krusades' for Hip Hop
Click above to view my Huffington Post profile on Vulkan the Krusader. Rapper Vulkan the Krusader has assembled a new album entitled V which he says is inspired by his fascination with films like The Dark Knight, comic books like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as well as the nineteenth century French painting Romans in the Decadence of the Empire. He shows a softer and more intimate side of himself in a song constructed as a love letter dedicated to the experimental pop artist Grimes. Since he began rapping in 2010, he has worked with such notable people like A$AP Ferg, Mr. MFN eXquire, Kool A.D. (of Das Racist), Aaron Cohen, Kyle Rapps, and Spaceman. During my talk with Vulkan, he spoke about his thoughts on religion, films, medieval history, and heavy metal. The creative process for him is a lonely one, just like it is for most. My conversations with him left me thinking that the silent moments in our lives are sometimes the noisiest.
The Uncluded is looking to be an interesting project. Here is another single off the album named “Delicate Cycle”. Aesop Rock & Kimya Dawson debut full length collab album Honky Fright is set to release May 7th.
Tyler the Creator is in love and in doll form. Here is “IFHY”, the next single off Wolf.
