Australian beat maker Kid Tsunami connects with the hip-hop OG from Queens on this cinematic piece. Lo fi pounding drums layered with 70s guitars riffs and percussions makes this a solid retro fitted joint, as for the rap, what more do you expect from Kool G Rap?. Dopeness from start to finish. This is taken off Kid Tsunami’s album The Chase.

Leave a comment ()All the way from Europe comes the individual named Khaderbai, a beat maker of Swiss origin. What we have here is a beat he sent to us called Stocki, a brilliant creation/fusion of jazz, soul and weird sounds over boom bap drums. Sounds like something you’ve heard before no? Well I implore you to take a closer look at this piece. It may sound generic on paper but this man really goes in with the chops and flips and then the progressive nature of the song makes it even more engaging. As a beat maker myself, I wished I..
Check is an emcee hailing from the Queens borough of New York. Soulful and quite hood conscious, Check draws inspiration from frontiers such as Immortal Technique, Lupe Fiasco, the late Big L and Jay Z. Check gives us his first official release with Forever Unorthodox. Its great to see an emcee still towing the slowing vanishing conscious route. This means there is hope and the underground sounds will still the light of another day. If you listen to music to be inspired or to get a picture of what the artist is trying to..

Bishop Lamont comes through on this mellow, soul infused cut(shout outs to first letter) and gives us that ‘Ol Skool’ (pun intended) vibe once again. Far from flossing or rapping for the sake of it, Mr Lamont gives us his personal views on life, hip-hop and then some. this is that cut for that sunny afternoon, sipping on strawberry smoothie with a dime piece by your side. yeah , I totally just came up with that!

Dear Artiste,
I know it’s hard enough getting people to listen to your music let alone spend their hard earned money to help convert your dreams into reality. You deplete mental energy getting those “hard” bars together, you strong arm your producer friend to cook you a beat(some jack beats off youtube like those kids in New Jersey Drive) and finally you hit the stu’(or the lab or basement) and voila! you have a song ready-so what’s next without a major label backing you? Well that’s where we(not us in the strict sense but sites like us) come in and..
This is a track from the duo consisting of emcee,Mr Morbid and producer Melph, both from the Netherlands. A solid cut if I may add,hard hitting sombre and engaging. Mr Morbid’s laid back flow and dark imagery draws you into a macabre world coupled with the menacing boom bap instrumental laced by Melph, I need not say more.
