*Joe College – “9:46”
If you’re looking for a feature from Joe, don’t be wiling on your tracks too much. Always good to hear a shout out to the Slum Village.

*Dynamic Equilibrium – “Lucidity”
Dynamic (emcee Alpha Memphis & producer MACHIA) deals with the topic of neglect and what could happen when you have too much of it. Forewarning: please don’t watch if you are sensitive to the topic of suicide or death.

*PayUp! Game – OG Ron C (Prod. TSK)
Most likely inspired by the head space you can get into when you listen to OG Ron C aka “don’t talk to me about that right now,” this track showcases the various styles of the group over a slowed up beat. From the Florida’s Stampede EP.

*Rapper Hooks – “Moses Majestic/All Black Jesus”
Some artists just get it. By it, we mean the right form of creative expression. This Minneapolis emcee’s video is a bit old but still worth your time nonetheless. Looking forward to what this dude has up next. All praise, Black Jesus.

*G MiMs – “Criminal Intent”
Now, uh, we don’t normally do this but…here’s a freestyle from NYC’s G MiMs over a familiar beat. Off of his The $: Cost of Living project.
Scotty ATL – “Round Dis MFKr” (Prod. Sledgren)
He’s got the nonbelievers believing now. It’s time for this Atlanta emcee to get his shine on.
YONAS – “Leaving You”
Remember when I said that it’s rare to find a track about a loved one that is authentic? Well here’s one about leaving that person for something better.

Locksmith – “Archaic” (Prod. Locksmith & Mike Blankenship)
Just a little something from the California emcee before his A Thousand Cuts project (4/15). Hopefully you guys don’t fall into this category that Locksmith is accusing many of.
Directed by: The Young Gunz of BLK Bloc
*Kidd Adamz – “Sega” (Prod. Playback Beatz)
The Florida emcee uses some 8 bit production to speak of the innocence lost in his neighborhood.

40 Akerz – “TOKYO” (Prod. SMKA)
Nappy Roots have something special with these guys. Skinny DeVille and Fishscales provide a trippy party jam perfect for the turn up and the turn down, thereafter.
