Silent Knight Vows to 'See You In Hell'

Last week's election has a lot of people fucked up. Some have Henny, some have trees; when you're a spitter, you have your music, and Silent Knight let the people decide if he should drop his new project, See You In Hell. America didn't go with the popular vote, but S.K. did.

"I know a lot us are grieving and some of us are already plotting and planning," says Silent Knight. "I'm with it. I see yall. And I'm here with yall. If this project helps some people feel less alone, or at the least is a distraction or some type of help, I'm thankful. I'm honored to be a vessel for any and all of that."

The release is low on features (although GSL and Kon Boogie lace "MUD"), and two Brown Bag AllStars—The Audible Doctor and J57—lend their producerial support. I say that to say that the majority of this is from the mental of Silent Knight. You can stream and download See You In Hell below, which also includes the album credits from Silent. Get your game face on.

Cyrano Sinatra x Dub MD - Madicinal Libationz 2

You guys might remember Madicinal Libationz, the Cy Yung & Dub MD project that found Cyrano going in over a number of Madlib instrumentals. The powers-that-be shut that one down, so Cy and Dub decided to reimagine this one; I'll let them tell it...

Cyrano Sinatra (f.k.a. Cyrano aka Cy Yung) has reconnected with Dub MD to help remove a blemish from their immaculate first collaboration, 2009's 'Madicinal Libationz'. After assembling one of the most diverse casts of Hip-Hop underground at the time, 'Madicinal Libationz' was received with praise but ran into roadblocks to reaching as many as it could have, but this 'Bitchless Brew' will not have that problem.

The 'B*tchless Brew' features production from one of the UK's best kept secrets, Magic-Boy, Cyrano's familia, Centric, J. Slikk, Cynergy Soundz and Sharpcuts and extended fam from NC Hip-Hop's stash of heatrock-makers, this is what should have been! Brought to you by Kevin Nottingham and RockTheDub. The project is minus a few choice cuts that will make their remix appearance for the forthcoming Anniversary edition.

No better way for Dub MD to say farewell to his freely-given, classic co-sign mixtape series than with this re-invention project, a return to the buffet of lyrical wordplay Cy dropped in April of 2009. And this is only the beginning, Cyrano and Dub MD will continue to keep the flame of Underground Hip-Hop lit. Sinatra's 2012 will feature more from his 2-man group Steadyflow (with Sharp), as well as complete projects produced by Centric, J. Slikk, DJ Husky, DJ J-Rell and Doc Verbz.

This will be also be Dub MD's final "FREE" artist project, stay tuned over the next couple of months his official debut EP entitled "The Requiem" which features the best sub-surface hip-hop has to offer including Vandalyzm, Substantial, Sha Stimuli, Braille, Kam Moye, Spec Boogie, Kel Spencer, 8thW1, Genesis Elijah + more. Along with the exclusive instrumental album "P.U.S.S.Y." with D.C. producer Judah and Universal Indie Records.

The Audible Doctor ft. Silent Knight, KON, Rasheed Chappell, YC The Cynic & Soul Khan "Stayin' Busy (Remix)"

The Audible Doctor ft. Silent Knight, KON, Rasheed Chappell, YC The Cynic & Soul Khan "Stayin' Busy (Remix)": Hah the Tribe throwback in the beginning is so essential. Just looking at the line-up on this one? Major. This is the bonus cut off of Audible’s You Should Buy Music Not Make It EP, and is actually only available via the CD version (or via the free download card that you get with the t-shirt). Notice that punk ass J57 didn’t say a nigga like me could get the shirt, though. That’s McDuck for you. What’s funny is, the original “Stayin’ Busy” is a Silent Knight track, taken from his Busy Is My Best Friend album, which got pushed back but will be out soon. Phew. After hitting you hockey pucks with that info, just listen to the track already! BIMBF!

Kyle Rapps ft. Silent Knight "Lazy Dayze"

Kyle Rapps ft. Silent Knight "Lazy Dayze" (prod. by Ray Contour): Jesus Christ! Ray Contour is a genius for this beat right here. Feels like some shit that I might annoy people with, not b/c it’s annoying, but I’d get drunk and have to keep playing the intro again. So playful, which probably enticed Rapps to kick some crazy raps about whatever came to his pen. Good to hear that Jersey is still breeding a core group of MCs who retain the old ways. Both of these niggas go off, period. Rapps’ Re-Edutainment is out next month. This track ain’t on it. You’re welcome.

Silent Knight "Stayin' Busy"

Silent Knight "Stayin' Busy" (prod. by Audible Doctor): As the title of this track, and the project it comes from (Busy Is My Best Friend, Feb. 15th), Si Kni drops what might be an anthem to my life. Being a father, husband, writer, blogger... just trying to keep up with life, it's a "perpetual round-robin", as Knight puts it. Feel like if I slow down, I might miss something, or dwell on other shit, so we keep pushin' keep strivin', for different goals but the main one is to get better. You don't understand? You're stagnant.

KONCEPT Playing Life

Promo for this FreEP has been going down kind of heavy on this end, so I'm glad that the BBAS has unleashed this beast from KONCEPT, which features beats from J57, Audible Doctor, maticulous, DJ Brace, & DJ Dyllemma, and rhymes from J57, Sene and Silent Knight. If you know how the Brown Bag gets down, you know this one is NOT to be toyed with.
