Super Smash Bros. "Let Go" (prod. by DJ DviousMindZ): Some interesting freestyle flows over some awesome Jungle-style beats from DviousMindZ. The Super Smash Bros. rep Mississippi, and are twins Ahmad and Saddi. If you're digging this (and the bonus), be on the lookout for their Baggage Claim mixtape, which is slated for 1Q 2010.
Revalation "'Net' Worth": Rev don't fuck around, kicks a rap about some shit I imagine a lot of MCs go through in today's Internets scene... "This song is a representation of the New Era in Hip-Hop where the Internet has made it possible for indie artists, like myself, to compete for noteriety in an overly saturated "commericial market." The internet evens the game out just enough for this new generation of up and coming MC's to have a voice. With that said, I give you "Net" Worth, a play on words of course but also a reflection of my personal thoughts of the game and the people who don't support me, yet want something from me at the end of the day. So here's to them motherfuckers!!".
Compilations like this crack me up. I was never a fan of Freeland's Cope™ album (too Dance Music Rock for me), but his label did the smart shit: they flipped 24 remixes of the album's tracks and decided to release them. Dubstep mavens like Emalkay, TRG, Joker and High Rankin join Nosaj Thing, PANTyRAiD, AC Slater and TC (among others) to cut his tunes up. Here are three of my favs, and three different styles:
Told you guys this one was on the way. Small Eyez is always one of them "in the know" niggas, who's musical ear is all over. When I found out he was an artist, too, and a damn good one, made me hope he had some shit on the way.
Theo Martins ft. Jesse Boykins III "You Don't See": New new from the boy Theo. Dude's been on tour for a grip, and when he's not BBM'ing me, he's actually making dope music. This is from a project that's dropping before his Hall Of Justus EP, and he says that "the premise of the song is really a look behind the veil, if you will. There's a lot that goes in to the many things that we see and critique today - and that statement transcends over every aspect of how we live, not just music". Take that and marinate...
