"Mercenaries Creed/Shit Israel" by Royal Illness [Music Video]

"A war's goin' on, on inside, you better figure out/
Which way will get you out, before you pick your route/
A man with no stance is equal to a man with no hands/
One can't build so there's no chance to advance/"

I received a message today from Royal Illness. Dude's an artist/producer outta Lexington, Kentucky, and he asked me to check out his music. Sometimes I find it a little awkward to receive messages like this because I'm real picky about what I post. But I thought this double track video was alright. There's a message behind the lyrics of both songs, and the artists in the video all have a good sense of how to rhyme well. Check it!

Beatmaking Session with Grim Reaperz (Crown, Cystic & Supervillain)

Some more European shit! Grim Reaperz hit the booth with the camera and get to making a sick instrumental. I thought this was entertaining and the beat's pretty dope. Check it.

"Guillotine Rap" by Snowgoons ft. Dope D.O.D. [Music Video]

"Dope, Goons, Germany, Ghost Town/
Coke, shrooms, bourbon and smoke clouds/
I get loud and go out with a bang/
Guillotine rap slang, kid, no one can hang/"

Snowgoons recently released their Black Snow 2 album, which features a plethora of dope artists. Here's a video for one of the songs which features European trio, Dope D.O.D. I liked the feel of this song, and they always have some dope visual effects incorporated into their videos. Check it.

"Mums In The Garage" by Step Brothers ft. Action Bronson

"Mad man, I rip up stages/
Specialize in removing lips from faces/
Type of animal, only exists in cages/
Why travel over seven seas to distant places?/"

Evidence x Alchemist x Action Bronson. This song is what you'd expect from a session including these three. That's all I gotta say. Check it!

"Showtime" by Ngajuana (prod. by PnT WorldWyde)

"So forever I endeavor, go hard/

Trying to teach those who taught, who said I'd never go far/

You can weather those odds and you're never wrote off/

Once you truly go hard, you can never go soft/"

A while back we shared music from London, Ontario emcee, Ngajuana. It's been a while since I personally checked up on his music, so this may be a little late from the release date. But that doesn't change the fact that this is a good song. This one's really powerful, and sorta switches the mood of the song between the verses and choruses. Check it!

TeamBackPack presents The Beat Show ft. Billion Coast

I'm becoming a huge fan of this TeamBackPack movement. They're always displaying some of the craziest underground hip hop shit from people I've never heard of before. This one's from a series they have called The Beat Show, which features producers letting their beats play live in front of the camera. Billion Coast is the producer shown in this episode. Check it.

"Pope Francis" by Mac Lethal [Video]

"He walks through the ghetto with the homeless/
Takes the public bus with the elderly and po' kids/
He don't believe in excess, dudes listen/
He might turn your 40 million dollar mansion to a soup kitchen/"

This video is fucking awesome. If you're like me, and you know nothing about Pope Francis... well you gon' learn today! Mac Lethal makes his usual move by making an intentionally goofy, yet entertaining video, spittin' facts using well written lyrics. Y'all wish you could seem this cool wearing a pope outfit. Check it.
