[Mixtape] SIR E.U THE GREAT - KINGHIPPO.TV The forever working SIR E.U is back (again) with another mixtape this time KINGHIPPO.TV which he claims is better than his last full length project 3000% BLACK EXCELLENCE. I don’t know if I would personally compare them but I can say I did enjoy KHTV just as much if not more than I did 3000%BE. This is definitely the best mixtape that E.U has dropped since beginning his promise of a new project every Tuesday and more than makes up for the fact that he missed last Tuesday.  More so than with his last effort, KINGHIPPO.TV seems to be a fully fleshed out mixtape rather than a few Mango inspired freestyles. E.U delivers as always on the lyrical side and the tape benefits from the TV theme with each track serving as a different channel or show if you will. I don’t know how long E.U plans on keeping this up but if each project gets increasely better than I hope it lasts for a few more weeks. KINGHIPPO.TV is one of E.U’s best in a ever growing and impressive catalog and should serve as a example of just what the Hippo is capable of in such a short time.

[EP] CRASHprez - I Hate You Rap Niggas: A Thesis  Future Pre(z)sident of The United States CRASHprez dropped his latest work I Hate All You Rap Niggas: A Thesis seemingly out of nowhere. CRASH sent me the intro to the project late last night “Thesis Statement” which in my opinion is one of his best joints yet. The EP itself is a more than enjoyable listen, CRASH is one of the few rappers who finds a way to entice the listener and hold their attention while always rapping about something you should care about (à la Kendrick Lamar). Other tracks such as the dark but necessary “Blasphemy For Everyone” and the hilariously “Finna Go Mainstream” make IHAYRN one of the unique joints to drop this year. Definitely a nice follow up to his last project CRASHvillainy and a better example of CRASH’s true skills as an artist. Congrats to CRASH for dropping two great projects in the same year.

rMell - Murakami As the release of NEOGEO approaches rMell releases a single not from the project but something to keep the fans happy. “Murakami” features a minimalistic beat produced by rMell himself (as always) which helps to bring attention to his verse, one of the longest and best I’ve heard from him. With no chorus to interrupt, rMell spits a tightly knit verse full of truth, ambition and aspiration and more so impressively finds a way to keep that trademark coolness without just rapping about cool shit. rMell seems to always expand himself as an artist and I expect that NEOGEO will take him and his artistry to the next level.

Captain Murphy - Immaculation ft Azizi Gibson & Jeremiah Jae  The enigmatic cartoon rapper Captain Murphy dropped a gem earlier this week in “Immaculation”, which finds Murphy and friends ( Azizi Gibson and Jeremiah Jae) flowing over some groovy production. This is presumably from his upcoming project Duality, which will hopefully shed more light on who the Captain is as an artist more so than a person. I like the anonymity of Murphy, it reminds me of someone I know…

Earl Sweatshirt - “Chum” Odd Future’s Earl Sweatshirt has been relatively quiet since coming home, only dropping one solo track aptly named “Home” and a few guest appearances. A lot of mysterious still surrounds the young rapper with many fans not to sure in which direction his new music will be going. What we do know is that, gone is the rapper you heard on Earl and earlier Odd Future projects. Also at the same time a lot remains the same from those days. Earl’s second released track since coming home “Chum” is the perfect example of what I was speaking on above. Earl has matured past the subjects of murder, rape and 666 to personal subjects that we’ve heard him speak on in the past, but more so as a child would handle it. Earl manages to keep that dark sound that his is known for and still evolve into something that he wasn’t before. A mature emcee who is able to tell a story of truth and truly put his life into lyrics. I have a feeling that “Chum” is just the beginning for young Earl and that we’ll get the full effect of his new found skills when he drops his project hopefully sometime this year.

[Video] Joey Bada$$ - “Fromdatomb$” ft Chuck Strangers Joey Bada$$ continues to build off the hype for his debut tape 1999 by releasing a visuals for “Fromdatomb$”. Joey and fellow Pro. Era member Chuck Strangers spit while hanging around in Brooklyn, the video definitely gives off that nostalgic feel that Joey is known for. Very reminiscent of Nas’ “Made You Look” video. Look for Pro. Era’s compilation tape to drop later in the year on December 21st.
