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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
Rome and CEEJ have a collaboration project Lolo coming out on June 4th, this is the first drop from it. Rome’s verse here is dense as usual, with more going on than initially meets the eye.
