New Born King – Lunatic x Sc@ryHour

What It Sound Like?

While I'm pressed for time, I keep pressing this industry with real rap. After leaving us with The Light, we got a full project from   Lunatic.  Yup, he's back with a lyrical baptism. Even from the one tune we heard, you could peep the spiritual conscious! Now belting rhymes over a soundtrack prepared by producer,  Sc@ryHour  of  The Professional Amateurs

These tracks are not only hard and gritty, the levels are  mixed synced with the vocals. Lun has a distinct voice that could be  served injustice by slight engineer faults. The first joint has background sounds of praise elements while the shining goes on. Listening to The Sacrifice, and Habanero Marinara his impatience with hate is heard.

My Hip Hop ear is spoken to by the bar prowess in Cold Blood. While  most of the album battles corruption, the artist has a bit more fun  tooting his own horn. Mission still accomplished, a nice set up for  Starcade 85'a no holds bar approach. Skits were not stretched or overused, Snuff was  measured accurate. Details actions that this soil has practiced for too long, as it rolls into Omega. So I appreciate the brother for sharing it with people that were not aware.

NBK is aggressive, wise, and another piece with a message. Though, the material is graphic, the artist manages to get his point across exposing evil with minimal foul language. Plus, it had no guest appearances, rare and bold.

Southern hospitality over classic samples, you gotta break bread at  Bandcamp. Big thanks to all readers, artists, and word of mouthers. We're growing together. May Yeshua shower you with blessings.  

Kogan – Mak P x Bass Reevez

What It Sound Like?

Bringing the weekend to a close with an artist that left a lasting  impression. The winter gave us dedicated emcees to the art. Ahead of his time, Mak P follows his door opener, No Heart Anthony  with an EP.  As I saw posts announcing its  release, I couldn't wait to hear it. 

Mak goes into full song mode with four hand selected tracks from Bass Reevez. That's right, I finally get to radar high demand  audio key  pusher. Fam knows I dig when the sounds sever, yet maintain  album chemistry. Right in the pocket of the high profile cast. Triple Threat  is a verbal hydra with  K. Burns and  Sauce Heist

They connect spitting empowerment from surviving the best and the worst the streets throw at you. One of two features on the piece, TFMG brother K. Burns pops up again on Loft Muzik.  The fly talk continues, the jewels is inspirational.  Juke Box  proves P can hold his own, plus authentic content. 

Midnight Train  is more of a creative tune, while he uses retro filmography as cadences. Staying along the film themes, Mak flips Killing Them Softly. Once again, the artist trades violence for approach to killing the tracks.

Kogan is one that sits down on the punches. Type of joint to play back to back. Support this young talent, get your copy at Bandcamp. Thank you for your efforts, so far. May the Most High continue to bless you! 

 

The Fuego Tape – Banks Davocki

What It Sound Like?

One of the craziest things happened to me this week. I got a submission from an artist I haven't written about, as yet. Forgive me, initially I didn't realize who I was receiving the pack from. I knew the name sounded familiar, still. The first joint that plays is a banger I've been rockin to for a month or so. Yup, I heard that open to Thankful drop. "Wait a minute, this that wave, !" I'm saying to myself.

Small world, huh?   More reason to be grateful for my position. Banks Davocki is a breath of fresh air, some chilly air from Niagara Falls, NY. We're keeping the young world energy tonight. You'll sense it from the beat selection, joints to keep you moving. One of the producers is resurfacing from earlier this week, Kid Ocean.  Also building the vibe to this body of work, Cashmoney AP, Sult4n, Mubz Beatz, Almighty Beats, Ezra, and Cormill

TFT is versatile, covering extremes from from hard times to stunt mode. It's for young cats staying focused, getting business. Davocki is an artist that has substance. The category his tunes are placed in is usually overlooked for bars. He makes sure you don't look past him. Creativity pours out in X - Files featuring Lingo Da God. The track pays homage to the 90's series, the emcees roll through situations of ex girlfriends. 

Relationships play a common role through this album, he's got his hands full with the ladies. Rocking With Me gets the skin crawling, an anthem for anyone striving. Tunes such as Never Had with Jynx and I'm Too Busy featuring Luck Luciano bring me back to a younger me. Recognize the connections? Can't forget Mark Ant, Tru DLN, and SG Lingo for adding fuel to the fire. 

This piece has an inspiring vibe with choices for singles. One already a hit in major platforms. Look forward to more Banks Davocki. Get your copy at your favorite digital music store. Thank you eternally for all the positive words from the viewers. I pray for the best in your lives, bless up!

If Cocaine Could Talk 3 – RJ Payne

What It Sound Like?

While you pile up on those holiday extras, I’m here to make sure you take in some substance. Despite the title, there will be no illegal plays or deadly addictions dealt here. It’s the hustle, aspiration, lethal content RJ Payne refers to as this high end product. Happens to be one of the most sought after products in the street, plus corporate. The artist proceeds to metaphorically describe himself as such. Plenty rappers aim to get brick prices for their verse, so it’s easy to relate to.

Making a pleasant return, RJ blesses All Nighters with a follow up album. With his third investment in the ICCT series, he made a bigger impact. This piece attracted star cameos we’re glad to hear from. From Philly-Hip Hop staple, Tracey Lee, Griselda Records own Westside Gunn, Paul Caine from Desert Storm and the lyrical Elzhi. Some powerful spoken word from Lady Lioness of Urban Poetics. One tune features Big Twins of Infamous Mobb, produced by DJ Skizz  (World Music Group). Might be the more sensitive joint on the album, I believe it’s the only one with a hook. The rest are straight bars of Payne!

Other well selected producers are FonkStarr of Crummie Beats from Virginia. Four Limbs across the pond in the UK, the Brooklyn producer Asethic with souls sounds. Another out of  BK is Stan Da Man,made hits for a long list of spittas. The closing track was brought yo you by P.A. Dre, all heavyweights. 

You have to appreciate How Payne is able to display different angles of rap. He has bars, beat selection, flows, professionalism, and something for the gutter. Easy to notice the hard effort put in to achieve this lyrical awareness. This is a fun listen with plenty of “You heard what he saids?” The free listen link is available at YouTube, still purchase your copy of this powerful series. The love is spreading more each day, I appreciate you joining me. Blessings of the Most High to all readers.

Hannibal Hus (Reprise) – HusKingpin {Produced By Robert Deniro}

What It Sound Like?

There seems to be a challenge going on that I’m late to finding out about. I almost get the chance to be a total spectator, since this is between producers. The writer in me won’t leave it alone, though. The first version I had the luxury to hear is from Robert Deniro. Cool when the future legends hit you with exclusives.

When I opened the link, I heard a joint I thought was completely official. I was ready to send off the cigars and champagne bottles. Rob got a winner with his mix. The keys are moving over a marching snare. This melody is on replay in my head. Hus Kingpin vocals are right in the paint. He’s not far away from hearing it, if he hasn’t already.  The All Nighters would agree with me, Hus and Rob got a banger waiting on them. 

Say less, tag these artists with the song link. We support each other in this movement, we see everybody eat. The fans show heart-felt  support, thank you. May the Lord keep blessing you!
