"The Strangest" by MURS



"Rappers coming at me, guns blaze and won't smoke nothing/
They need to turn em in, it's journalists tryna quote sumthin/
Murder they careers, I'm America's most wanted/
Sprinkling they ashes on a blunt, yea, let's smoke sumthin/"

Another recent Strange Music release that I'm diggin. This one's gotta sick classic hip-hop vibe with some simple drums, keys and scratching that work to make this song as good as it is. Sometimes less really is more. Shit makes me feel good! Check it..

"Hood Go Crazy" by Tech N9ne ft. B.o.B. & 2 Chainz



"Down there they got the hair that's missin'/
Keep it bare, I promise I'll never tear that kitten/
I'm aware sex hittin' is to care when I share that stickin'/
So good I might impair that vision/"

I've been trying to be more open minded and embrace new school shit lately. So Tech's timing is impeccable to help me adjust lol. Tech got B.o.B. and 2 Chainz to hop on this repetitive club beat with him and I could definitely vibe to this in a club if I was sippin'. Special Effects will be in stores May 5th.. Check it!

"Killin My Soul" by Jarren Benton ft. Locksmith & Hopsin [Music Video]



"I don't know a nigga livin' in his right mind that could probably stop me/
Nigga shook like a young bitch in the room fucking Bill Cosby/
Mach 5 nigga, high speed in his face, watch his fucking eyes bleed/
Pull the plug from the life support and the IVs nigga try me/"

This is a dope track. It's from Jarren Benton's recently released project, "Slow Motion". I'm glad they called up Locksmith to get on this track because he fits in perfect. 3 heavy spitters over a dope beat, can't ask for much more. Check it.

"Like Me" by Joey Bada$$ ft. BJ The Chicago Kid [Music Video]



"So we burned the mary jane to the third degree/
Some niggas biting flows yo, that's burglary/
Same niggas actin like they never heard of me/
A fuck nigga could get clocked yo that's word to me/"

Finally got a chance to pick up B4.Da.$$ and I haven't listened to anything else since. It's one of those albums that drops you straight into the artist's environment. This video does the exact same thing. Check it!

"Unlistenable" by The Palmer Squares [Music Video]



"I'm known to chatter with hoes at a local tavern/
Grope a clam with no potassium, homie I go bananas/
Die hard, old habits control me, cognac and a stogie/
Been bestowed a gold plaque and a trophy/"

Videos like this are why I'm a fan of The Palmer Squares. There's not really much more I can say, you just gotta listen.

"Fuck Em" by JD Era



"Too many switch-siders, dick riders/
Rap liars, information providers/
Probly wearing wires, hate violence, love sirens/
You police speed dialers/"

Not usually a fan of this kinda music but I thought this song was pretty good. Canadian Ice H20 artist, JD Era posted this track to his SoundCloud a couple of days ago to get one simple message out there. "They ain't fuckin with us then fuck em!".

"Lie, Cheat, Steal" by Run the Jewels [Music Video]



"Teabag a pirhana tank, heart barely beatin'/
A wild one, who'll swim like directly after he's eaten/
While holdin' a toaster oven that's plugged with a fork in it/
Cuz death by electrocution's like life in New York, isn't it/"

Killer Mike and El-P just dropped some visuals for track 6 of their October 2014 release, "Run the Jewels 2". Haven't heard much from that project yet, but I like how this song/video turned out. They definitely have a unique sound and some fresh ideas. Check some previews of their album by clicking here.
