A Psycho White Halloween! Push Em and Whistle Dixie by Travis Barker & Yelawolf

 

 I've been hearing a few tracks off Yelawolf's and Travis Barker's new joint cd Psycho White and so far I've been digging em. Even if it's not your kinda thing I like the original sounds coming from the pair. Both these songs have a feel I haven't heard from anyone else recently and I dig it. The first track is just some crazy quick fire drumming from Barker with some good screaming and shit from Yela. Song makes me wanna jump in a mosh pit or flail my hair around but unfortunately it isn't long enough.

 

This second song was released just today and the video, although quite confusing to me, is more creepy in the spirit of Halloween. I really liked the beat providing the chorus with the whistle. The effect on Yela's voice with the short verses made a cool song in my opinion too. Got Yelawolf and his gang rockin some facepaint in this too, gotta love it. Don't know why the hell Danny Trejo was in the video though haha.

Live From The Streets: "Tent City"

If you follow us regularly, you'll know that we keep up on Mr. Green's "Live From The Streets" series. This morning I found a new addition to the series, with another interesting use of a sample. This time, Mr. Green visits a small village called "Tent City", where around 40 people live together in tents. He meets up with one of the citizens, gets his story, and a recording of him singing. Later, the recording was sampled into a beat that Mr. Green would proceed to get two emcees to spit over. This video is the making of the song, but if you would like to listen to the song in its entirety, click here.

"Severed Heads of State" by ILL BILL ft. El-P

"We're all guilty as charged, or just simply involved/

Often brainwashed by quick money, loose women and cars/

But maybe that's the way we're meant to be, Ignorant mutants for nukes/ 

Trapped in a matrix ruled by shooters in suits/"

With what I've heard from ILL BILL lately, when I seen that he released a new track today, my expectations weren't very high. On top of that, the video starts off really weird. But once the beat dropped, and he started spittin', my whole perspective changed. I've been spoiled by his album, "The Hour Of Reprisal", and most of what I've heard from him since then still can't compare. But I was surprised with how this track turned out, and he ended up killin' his verse. This is the first released single from his upcoming album, "The Grimy Awards", which drops on the 29th of January, 2013.

"URALYA" by Tech N9ne

 "Don't do your job like you oughta, I'm gonna beat ya like a pinata/

Better yet I'm givin the Devil a stigmata, hit you with a hell of a Afrika BamBaataa BOOM/

Layin' on the ground, that's what you get for playin on the clown/

Sayin that my sound they don't wanna hear, it missed em, but I gave you money to get THE SHIT DONE/"

 

So right on the heels of Tech's EP E.B.A.H is another EP called Boiling Point. It will be released the day before Halloween and in tune with the season Boiling Point is another taste of Tech's well known dark side. This first release URALYA starts it off with a bang. This song has some really badass sound going on. Tech could've been the lead of some hardcore rock band. He's rockin some pretty badass facepaint patterns, the little stripes in the beard are a cool touch lmao. Welcome to his boiling point mother fuckers!

"Anything Goes" by Classified ft. Saukrates & Skratch Bastid

"Life's a journey, not a destination/

People wanna try to burn me with no hesitation/

Can't change you, can only change me/

I ain't losin' any sleep, we ain't in the same league/"

HELLL YEA. This is that feel good music that this shitty world needs more of. The recently released single from Classified's upcoming album has already reached #2 on the iTunes hip-hop charts. The video for the catchy song was released today, which helps accommodate the mood of the track. And the part of the video near the end where he pushes the bitch in the head was jokes. It's crazy how many albums Classified's made, and stayed consistently sick with. Anyways, check out this dope shit straight outta CANADA muhfuckas!

"Imagining" by Intuition & Equalibrum

"I feel guilty, I'm pursuing different paths so far away/

We never used to talk but now "hello" is hard to say/

When you got back from absence, I felt things start to change/

I let it breathe as memories slowly start to fade/"

This shit right here is touching. I've never heard a track outlining the complications of Alzhiemers before, but Intuition did an amazing job at venting his feelings regarding how it's affected him. He doesn't have the disease himself, but it's his father who struggles from the disease, causing a shitload of negative feelings to arise. The video and beat were perfect for the topic, and shouldn't be displayed any other way than this. This is some real shit.

"Bad Man's World Remix" by Jelly Roll ft. Rittz & Shawty Fatt

"They say insanity's doing the same thang/

Over and over again and still expecting a change/

But ain't nothing changed but the price of a ????/

Like a boxer outta shape, I'm living life on the ropes/"

As our blog description states, this is "our recommended choice of hip-hop". As of late, there hasn't been much to recommend to y'all, in our eyes. However, this morning on Facebook, Rittz shared this new track that he's been featured in by Jelly Roll. I donno much about Jelly Roll at all, but this beat is fuckin' cool, and both Jelly Roll and Rittz killed it. I didn't really like Shawty Fatt at all, but fortunately his verse is last and I can switch the song after Rittz! But yea, this song takes you through 3 different perspectives of the struggles comin' up in a "bad man's world". Check it!
