...and I come bearing gifts
After a long break from the blog due to some personal issues I've finally found the time an inspiration to continue even though I have little to no following. Despite that there has been some dope new music and a couple projects I want to shed some light on.
As always, smoke some bitch
Charles Hamilton
"Not feeling how I explore? Alt-F4"
Mr. November 10th aka Sonic aka Thee beat making beast Charles Hamilton has been flooding the Market lately with "The Hamiltonization Project" in which he chose a bunch of websites/rap blogs and is making an exclusive tape for each. He has an obsession with the color pink and a certain blue hedgehog, both rather unexplainable, but his flow and lyrics are ridiculous. If nothing else his beat choice is too interesting to overlook.
CH - Windows Media Player
Maybe I love WinXP too much but the beat just brings back good memories of my pre Vista machine. Littered with computer puns.
CH- Stutter ft. Yung Nate
I almost didn't post this because of how outshined Charles is on the track by Yung Nate, but again the beat is just amazing. Schroeder is that shit. Viva Charlie Brown.
Asher Roth
"Pepper the record with 'That has never been said before'"
He does the young, white, middle class, college student thing, and it works pretty well for him. One of the most imaginative and original MC's out right now.
Asher Roth - I Love College
Asher's first "Single." Samples Weezer's "Say it isn't So." I don't love college as much as AR but this is the ultimate party song, however I prefer to listen to it during the wake and bake post party night.
Asher Roth -Cannon
Asher Roth - Mr. Me Too
These two are off of an old mixtape project he did with DJ Drama, The Greenhouse Effect. Asher Shines on these two gems produced by Don Cannon and Pharrel Respectively.
A.T.
"...Pretty young thing saying touch me I hit the switch and it was Chun Li,I should of known 'cuz she was upside down with her legs spread out and she was spinning around (She be doin that)"
I don't know where this kid is coming from, I couldn't even find a picture of him. He recently released the Random Thoughts mixtape which is my first experience with him so I cannot say much but the tracks are dope.
A.T. - Digital Criminal
Get ready for an onslaught of video game references. Guess the beat and you get a cookie.
A.T. - The Return
Just Lyrical Goodness at its finest. He bodies the track at 2:40+
Pz. ihgna.
