"7th Ghost" by Army of The Pharaohs

"Now Lucifer let loose of me, they're not used to me/
I'm not what I used to be/
I used to be a young nigga, silly state of mind/
Now I'm just a nigga going crazy like he facing time/"

Army of the Pharaohs just released their new album, "In Death Reborn". I had the chance to listen to it a few times, and it's pretty impressive. I'm not familiar with a few artists in AOTP but I think they all fit well together. There's a lot of dope production, rhymes and just raw hip-hop on this album. Here's one track (which I hope YouTube doesn't remove) that features Reef the Lost Cauze, Doap Nixon, Blacastan, Demoz and Vinnie Paz. Check it.

"The Danger" by Stu Bangas & Esoteric ft. Celph Titled, Vinnie Paz & Apathy [Music Video]

"Cut out the racket, you're ratchet, I'll beat you ragged/
I'm a rabid dungeon dragon that's drooling battery acid/
I'm ravenous, Ap is savage, my raps are the most blasphemous/
Black magic, or Black Sabbath singing bible passages/"

This beat is a fuckin grimy one. I really like the main sample, and they added a really powerful Breaking Bad sample which fits extremely well with the beat. They all had some sick verse to lay over it as well, and Vinnie added a dope chorus. This is the first track from Esoteric & Stu Bangas' November 26 release, "Machete Mode".

"Worst Nightmare" by Demigodz

"Ride with extendos/
Got mistaken for throwing gang signs, flickin' boogers out my window/
Let em fly your way, make your flight hydroplane/
Into an Everglade marsh that'll hide yo plane/"

Man before I even comment on the emcees on this shit... DJ Premier absolutely killlled this beat. I fuckin love this instrumental. But on top of that, these dudes murked it. I always thought the Demigodz were just Apathy, Celph Titled and Ryu. But looking over the tracklist of the recently released "KILLmatic" album, it seems that the group also consists of Esoteric, Blacastan and Motive. Not really familiar with them at all, but they fit in pretty good. If you would like to purchase this album, CLICK HERE.

"The People's Champ" by RA the Rugged Man

 

"I've been a problem since my first birth date/
In the delivery room my dick hit the ground and it caused an earthquake/
The school hallways I was pissin in/
As a kid I was lackin' in discipline, ignoring authorities and never listenin/"

 

They say legends never die. Which is why the Rugged Man is still alive and killin' shit. I actually can't wait to hear his album, entitled "Legends Never Die", which drops on the 30th of April. On top of him being a beast himself, he has an elite line-up of expected features on his album. These features include Hopsin, Tech N9ne, Masta Ace, Vinnie Paz & Brother Ali. Sounds like my kinda shit lol. This joint's produced by Apathy, and it suits RA's raw voice and crazy flow. This is hip-hop at it's finest folks!

"Dead in the Middle" by Demigodz

 

"I got greezy with a groupie and I smacked her bridges/
The bitch worshipped my nuts, I guess she's sacrilegious/
And that's what happens when your rap is vicious/
Sadomasochistic, snappin' pictures at captured victims/"

According to a YouTube comment from Apathy, this track was recorded in 2008. But it's new to me, and it's pretty sick. Like I said in an earlier post, I have little knowledge on the grimy trio. But they were all pretty sick in this. The beat was sick as well and included a classic Big Pun line to serve as the chorus. I personally thought Celph Titled stood out in this one with his witty punchlines. But yea, check it.

"Demigodz Is Back" by Demigodz

 

"Butane lighter with the lysol can/
Mask like the guy from Saw, at your high school dance/
(Crank that soulja boy).. you shouldn't do that tho/
Clothesline a fag tryna superman that hoe/"

The Demigodz is back! The three emcees Apathy, Celph Titled and Ryu each spit a sick verse over a beat produced with samples from the Rocky theme song. I've only really heard Ryu's work with Fort Minor, and I only know of Celph Titled and Apathy from their work with AOTP. So it's cool hearing the talented trio collaborate. Check it.
