"Deja Vu" by Alyssa Marie [Live Performance]

"No backbone strong enough to hold this weight/

Wait.. who's controlling my fate?/

Did the lasso break? Is all of this a bad joke?

Did I plateau and fall flat onto my face?/"

This is fucking sick. Alyssa Marie has always been a beast, and probably one of the most lyrical female emcees I've ever heard. To top it all off, she has a band playing the music behind her and they absolutely kill it too! Such a dope video, this girl deserves more recognition. Check it!

"Stand Up" by Chali 2na [Music Video]

"I survive cuz I breathe underwater, people call me Aquaman/

Easy muscle with a little bit of greezy hustle like I owned a taco stand/

Treat a brotha like a nacho man, everybody covered in melted cheese/

With the lifestyle, hip hop is so iced out, the wealthy emcees they're ????? to freeze/"

DAMN. Chali 2na rode this beat with finesse. Not used to hearing him spit this fast and he killed it. He always spits some dope lyrics but this is a step up from what I expect from him flow-wise. Dope shit.. you definitely gotta check this one!

"Mental" by Madchild ft. Demrick [Music Video]

"Involuntarily solitary confinement/

No one to confide in, quiet in my environment/

Mentally I'm way off balance and off kilter/

Brain's way out of whack that's why I rap without a filter/"

Madchild recently introduced Philly native, Demrick into his Battle Axe Warrior family. This track sets the tone for the beginning of their partnership, and it sets it off with a bang. C-Lance produced this beat which is a perfect fit for Madchild's style and Demrick adapts flawlessly. This one's a banger... Check it!

"Left Home, Write Home" by Ngajuana

"You could say that his genesis, started with being senseless/

Evolved into being censor-less through passion and relentlessness/

Resulting in the birth of a rapper, who through his pen it lives/

Sitting at the bed of hip-hop with straight attentiveness/"

More dope Canadian shit for ya. This track's from London, Ontario's own, Ngajuana. This one's got some rural funk to it, and NGA kills it as usual. I really dig the chorus with that acoustic beat. Check it!

"Human" by emoceans.

"Cuz it's 4am and I'm drunk, like what the fuck am I doing?/ 

I'm tryna get more fucked up to the point that I am spewing/ 

I smoke one and I sit down and start thinking the truth is truant/ 

Then I'm like fuck it, all I know is we're all human/"

New shit from emoceans. This guy's always gotta strange, trippy sound that I don't hear too much of. Definitely a unique sound that suits him and he kills it. Here's some dope shit from my city for yall!

"January On Lake Street" by Atmosphere [Music Video]

"Claim that you ain't afraid to die/
Then why are you afraid to fly, you better face the heights/
Get your bravery stripes or get your name denied/
Cuz you was waiting for a safer ride/"

More dope January 1st visuals, this time from Atmosphere. Although I didn't like Southsiders as much as a lot of Atmosphere's past projects, it was still pretty dope. This was one of the better songs in my opinion. The visuals are a little abstract which suits Atmosphere perfect. Check it!

"Trapazoid" by Dope D.O.D. [Music Video]

"I draw the borderline again,
Hella bad, the devil laughs/
Passin' me a Heineken,
Shadow cast on my mellow half/"

Dope DOD isn't waiting to get 2015 on the go. Being that their visuals are always on point, it's no surprise that this video is done really well. These European savages are fucked up but for some reason I dig em. Check it!
