SpaceGhostPurrp - Don't Give A Damn

The first track I listened to by this guy was "Pheel the Phonk 1993" and the first thing I thought was how similar he sounded to old school 3 6 Mafia.  I decided to look more into him and I found this song.  In this track, he sounds like a reincarnated Eazy-E.  Everything about him in this song reminds me of Eazy-E.  This song is a fucking slap, check out his album "Lord of the Black" you will not be disappointed.

Devin the Dude- She Useta Be

In my opinion, Devin the Dude is one of the most underrated Mc's in the game.  He is a great story teller and you actually get laughs out of his lyrics.  There are a lot of artists today that rap about smoking weed and all that but Devin was one of the original weed smokers.  Props to Devin the Dude, keep on smoking that tree.

Grand Puba featuring Sadat X - I Like it (Buckwild Remix)

Whenever you see a Buckwild production or remix , you know its going to be a great track.  Buckwild is a master at using various samples and loops.  I don't know how he does it but every song he touches is golden.  He makes remixes sound better then the original.  With that said, I gotta show love for Grand Puba and Sadat X they are a really good compliment to the Buckwild beat.  Overall a really dope song that any hip hop enthusiast would enjoy.

Logic - All I Do

After about two days of listening to all his mixtapes and all his tracks I have come to the conclusion that this guy has mad barz.  Logic needs to keep on his grind he really has some talent.  His word play is absolutely crazy,  I can only name probably two or three MC's in the game now that are on  Logic's level.  Overall, this dude has some skill, this is what hip hop and lyricism is about.

Silent Knight - What Would I Do? (Feat. Neenah & Kam Moye)

It is always something special when rap and R&b are combined into one beautifull track.  Tracks such as "Your all I need to get by" by Method Man and Mary J. Blige broke the barrier when it comes to mixing rap and R&b into one song.  With that said, Silent Knight, a relatively new MC from New Jersey, Neenah and Kam Moye do a fantastic job with this track.  Silent Knight and Kam Moye come with the lyricism while Neenah showcases her amazing voices.  Check out Silents whole album "Busy Is My Best Friend".
