[EP] Louseph Bruise Em' - Summa

Summa is the latest EP from the ever enigmatic Louseph Bruise Em' who has a habit of popping up out of nowhere with entire brand new bodies of work after taking small hiatuses (sounds like a certain blogger I know). As with all of Lou's projects that signature sound is there but the core elements and themes always change. Now with a title like Summa you may be thinking this is some cruise around the city, take a trip to the lake and roast marshmallows type of shit but this is Lou we're talking bout here.

The EP is his interpretation of the season and a self described ode to the 80's which if I had to describe it would be as an combination of insomnia and LSD. Composed of five tracks; three instrumentals, one remix (a very awesome one at that) and a track featuring Jodie Riggs. I really enjoyed the whole project but the last track is definitely my favorite by far mainly because I'm such a fan of how Lou spits I wish he would do it more often. Still GSL.

It seems that Lou isn't finished dropping work just yet as he tweeted this out earlier... 

new beat tape this week? yes

[EP] 2 Chainz - FreeBase

After having a down year compared to his breakout in 2012, 2 Chainz was seemingly in limbo with what to do for his next move with B.O.A.T.S. II not doing what he expected. However, it might have been a blessing in disguise as he sounds hungry once again on his new EP FreeBase. While it isn't T.R.U. Realigon, it is my favorite project from him since the classic mixtape, tapping back into that raw street sound that saw him grow into the star he was two Summers ago. S/O to the good folks over at OnSmash for the stream.

[EP] CRASHprez & *hitmayng - fear itself.

CRASHprez is back with his latest project fear itself. which is his second collaboration with producer *hitmayng. The two have become a force to be reckoned with , CRASH seems to be at his best when paired with production from his partner and this project further proves that. On fear itself. CRASH seems to be more focused then ever, his message is clear and this is the best it has been delivered since his last EP I Hate All You Rap Niggas: A Thesis. CRASH is wise beyond his years and isn't afraid to speak his mind, social commentary largely makes up the EP's subject matter, however CRASH does get very personal on this project also. This very well may be the best project CRASH has put out, it is definitely a improvement over his last collaborate effort. All in all CRASHprez is one of those few artists who actually has something important and worth while to say every time he spits, all I can do is recommend you listen and soak it up. One of the early highlights of 2014 for me.

High Class Filth - Filth Y Moi II

It's been a year since I've had High Class Filth on the site, mostly due to me and my loafing, the homie has definitely been busy. After dropping the excellent Perfect Nudes Forever back in May, Filth kept busying by releasing a few tracks in between the months and landing his first album placement on A$AP Ferg's Trap Lord co-producing the track "Cocaine Castle" along with Subdaio, you can say 2013 was a good year for the young producer. Filth looks to build upon that success and start the New Year off strong with the follow up to last years Filth Y Moi.

On FYM II it's pretty much the same formula as the last, however after using Toro's first two albums Causers of This and Underneath The Pine, this time around Filth mainly uses tracks from Chad's latest Anything In Return. Which is a pretty big task in itself seeing how that album gained a lot critical acclaim and ended up in the Top 5 of most Album of The Year lists. If anything it shows just how much confidence Filth has in himself and his abilities.

As I stated earlier most of the material is taken from 2013's Anything In Return the tracks being "Cake" "Rose Quartz" "Harm in Change" "Grown Up Calls" and "Never Matter" leaving "Talamek" as the sole song sampled that's not from the album. I must say I hold this album in high regard and Filth did every track justice, especially "Rose Quartz" which is my favorite. I was both hoping and worried that Filth would pick that one to sample but he definitely killed it. After seeing what he was able to accomplish last year I'm excited to see what 2014 has in store for Filth. I know one thing that I can always expect when it come to him and that is great music, for me as a fan, that's more than enough.

[Beat Tape] Louseph Bruise Em' - STUCKinTheSeven

Louseph Bruise Em' aka Latin Lou aka Young Lou is back with a all new beat tape entitled STUCKinTheSeven around twenty minutes long and apparently made all while stuck in a basement. Lou proved he has the ability to create excellent production in no time back when he collaborated with SIR E.U on HÜLAGÜSH (which was made in less then 24 hours) and this project further cements that. Featuring only instrumentals, aside from a few drops from the immaculate Dookie Armstrong, 50 Cal. and a preview of a song from his upcoming project Give Me Happy. From random DJ Paul vocal samples (great song choice Lou) to what I believe has to be the song that plays in Heaven's elevator right around the twelve minute mark and those unorthodox sound patterns that we've come to expect from Lou it's all here stuck in the seven right along with Lou. To wrap this up, in what has since become a tradition, as I always say good shit Lou and I hope you make it out that basement my friend...you deserve it.

[EP] Curren$y x Smoke DZA x Harry Fraud - The Stage

After back to back tapes with Young Roddy, Curren$y decides to switch it up and grab another JetLifer Smoke DZA and producer extraordinaire Harry Fraud joins in on the fun. While it is shorter in duration than his previous effort with Fraud, it definitely more than makes up for it in the quality of music. 

Sidenote: Keep French Montana on HF production, this might be the best verse from him seriously.
