Chick Gaynor - Noir 2 (Prod. Louseph Bruise Em')

Maryland's Chick Gaynor has be quietly working on his next project THE BELOVED, aside from last years "Sophistirachet" we haven't heard much from him. Well late last night the Slug God decided to drop "Noir 2" featuring some ill production from frequent collaborator Louseph Bruise Em'. Seems like every time Chick and Lou get together the product is always top notch (collab project maybe?). Chick has always been one of my favorite artists, he brings a unique energy to any track, so it's good to hear some new material from him. With his EP's release date slowly but surely approaching hopefully we'll get more tracks from it. I haven't hear much from his upcoming project but if Chick can stick to the level of quality he has become known for, I have no doubt that THE BELOVED will be some of 2014's best.

[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.

[Video] Pusha T - Suicide ft Ab-Liva

Pusha T releases visuals for "Suicide" one of the standout tracks from his solo debut My Name Is My Name, directed by Nathan Brown who seems to have taken a page out of DONDA's book keeps the visuals to a minimum theme. Towards the end Ab-Liva's silhouette makes an appearance.

mattVISTA - Vignettes ft Smokei Grey & Moonlight Mask

Fort Washington native mattVISTA has come along from when I first heard him way back in 2011, his sound has evolved since then moving from a electronic hip-hop base to more of a acoustic ambient base at least for this track "Vignettes". Which is unlike anything I've ever heard from the DMV area, Matt truly is in a league of his own. Most producers have the ability to switch up their sound but this is a true example of being versatile, a absolutely great track.
