Na$im Williams: "61 Lilies" (feat. Sulaiman, Scheme & Doc)
I've had several discussions with Scheme concerning his current position in the local scene, we've both agreed that --although he's one of the most respected and talented emcees in the city--there's still a lot of people that overlook him and his skill-set. Thankfully, real recognize real and Na$im Williams got Scheme plus Sulaiman & Doc (who are also two dope cats from the city) for a banger entitled "61 Lilies". This hip-hop at its finest with two incredible verses over a bouncy instrumental provided by Na$im.
[Mixtape] Joey Bada$$: "Summer Knights"
Joey Bada$$ brings us his latest opus in "Summer Knights", available for download below. Production by Chuck Strangers, Statik Selektah, Alchemist, DJ Premiere and appearances by other Pro Era members round up this project pretty nicely. If you're a fan of Joey, this is the perfect 'tape to bump this Summer, enjoy!
[Mixtape] Nico Segal: "Donnie Trumpet"
Nico Segal's, Illasoul, is a 'tape that I still bump to this day and that has a lot to do with the many subjects talked about in that project and Nico's ability to sway the listener with beautiful melodies. The trumpeter is now back with "Donnie Trumpet", a 'tape that distances itself a little from spoken word and focuses on the vibes and synergy between Nico and collaborators Chance The Rapper, Vic Mensa, Kiara Lanier & Emilio Chestevez while expanding on new concepts and themes.
Martin $ky: "Wood$"
So apparently I missed the official release of Martin $ky's "Wood$", but the track is too dope not to post it here. Martin unleashes a new sound and vibe, which we haven't heard from him ever before and it showcases the versatility that the young emcee possesses.
