"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 Crumbs of the Crumbs" by Red Martina

"Batten down the hatches, shiver me timbers/
I find liberties on symphonies, riveting mixtures/
And emcees with snickety greed, rips em indeed/
Leave 'em stricken like tall peeps with rickety knees/"

Found this today because Vinnie Paz shared it on Facebook. Red Martina is a downtempo/hip-hop group from Philly which consists of Noesis, Hayley Cass, Ish Quintero and former Jedi Mind Tricks producer, Stoupe. I'm a huge fan of the work Stoupe's done with Jedi Mind Tricks so I checked this track out, and it's pretty sick. I like the production and the artists rapping over the beat aren't bad at all. Check it.

"Is Happiness Just A Word?" by Vinnie Paz ft. Yes Alexander [Music Video]

"I'm watching life as a spectator/
I can't help myself even thought I possess data/
It's not a part of my spirit to wanna test nature/
You think you know what I'm feeling cousin, then let's wager/"

Boxcutter Pazie has feelings too. This song's deep. I really like when Vinnie makes deep songs like this one. He's good at choosing beats and finding a proper singer for the chorus. Not sure if I personally like this Yes Alexander bitch's voice, but it does suit the beat well. Either way this song's pretty sick, and schools you on the symptoms of a disorder that you may not be familiar with. This is from Vinnie Paz's upcoming Carry on Tradition EP which drops exactly one week from today.

"120% Darkside Justice" by ILL BILL ft. Jedi Mind Tricks

"Bring 'em to the coroner table, and cut 'em open, look inside of 'em/
What the fuck were they thinkin', someone lied to them/
Showed them a dead dream, listenin' to philosophers/
Goin' against me? Victory is impossible!/"

This shit is too fucking raw. I was surprised by how powerful Ill Bill's voice was over top of this crazy beat. This is another release from his upcoming album, "The Grimy Awards", which just came out this past Tuesday. I think this track is fucking sick, as it usually is when Ill Bill and Vinnie collab. This one's got Jus Allah on it too which makes it that much better. The whole album can be streamed if you click here. Enjoy!

"7 Fires of Prophecy" by Vinnie Paz ft. Tragedy Khadafi

"Y'all don't wanna see the heat melt/

The strap go click, and I ain't talkin' bout a seatbelt/

Y'all could never feel the pain that we felt/

Pops died, watched my mother cry, think how she felt/"

This intro is a muhfuckin' long one. But once it gets to the actual song, both Vinnie and Khadafi spit some pretty sick verses. This track's the second release from Vinnie's upcoming "God of the Serengeti". I was kinda disappointed that the song was so short, cause I wanted to hear another Vinnie verse. But for what it is, it's alright. Anyways check this shit out!

"Cheesesteaks" by Vinnie Paz

"Hardbody rap, God of the Serengeti/

I'm a sinner, I'm the God of the seven deadly/

Everything I do hard, and it's legendary/

I spit 16 bars and you dead and buried/"

This morning Vinnie Paz dropped a new video from an upcoming solo album that I wasn't aware of, "The God of the Serengeti". This song is raw as hell, I really like it. But I'm unsure why it was given the title "Cheesesteaks". I'm not really surprised at all because a lot of the time Jedi Mind Tricks and Vinnie himself have weird, random titles for their songs. This one just seemed a bit more corny than usual. It has a sick beat and Vinnie destroys it with his lyrics. I think his Lloyd Christmas hairstyle looks jokes while he's chillin at the barbershop. Kinda looks like his bangs coulda been cut with a... boxcutter. BOXCUTTER PAZIE! Haha, this album should be released sometime this fall. It's gonna be hard to live up to the content from "Season of the Assassin". That album was nuts. But hopefully this one will be just as good, if not better. Anyways, check this shit out son!

"Willing A Destruction Onto Humanity" by Jedi Mind Tricks

"Chase you down the staircase, pop you in the lobby/
Feed you hot slugs, each shot is a hot tamale/

The spot where we put the bodies is hot as the mojave/

Probably time to find a new hobby/"

This song has the most irrelevant title of any song I know of. They don't discuss anything regarding what the title states, and those words are not found in the song lyrics once. But it's one of my favourite songs. Definitely one of the best from their latest release, "Violence Begets Violence". In my opinion, Jus Allah murders this one. The dude's improved a lot since his older work with Vinnie. Rhyming skills are just off the chain. The beat to this song has a cool feel as well, making this track overall dope. Open ya Earz!
