Little Dragon – “Hold On”
Good bumping music to play right as the cookout is getting started (hey, we are in the A-T-L, so it being January don’t matter… It’s the weekend)! Or maybe you just need to get the day going just one more time. Play this then. The beat and vibe will get in you (pause) and get you moving!
Whatever moves you got to bust (damn, pause again)… this song will bring ’em out. But the real move: Hit that link below, if you wanna pre-order the whole album.
H.E.R. – “Sometimes”
“Sometimes” ‘it don’t go your way. Facts.
And “Sometimes” a song can capture the sentiment of that and make your soul clap AND make you wanna holler ‘amen!’ Sure Jigga can make the ‘song cry’… But leave it to H.E.R. to make a song to make you FEEL like the song gets how YOU feel.
Meek Mill – “Letter To Nipsey” feat. Roddy Ricch
Made me cry n!gga. And I don’t cry n!gga.
Meek Mill got the hookmaster for that “Racks In The Middle” (Roddy Ricch) to ride out one more time. Got this “Letter To Nipsey” for y’all to vibe to. Maybe cry to, a little. It’s okay #RIPNIP
All proceeds from sales and streams of “Letter To Nipsey” will benefit Nipsey’s family.

Planet Asia – “Learned From OGs” feat. Fred The Godson x Elcamino (Prod. By 38 Spesh)
YES!
This is EXACTLY what needed to happen. A bunch of rapping azz rappers rapping their azzes off! Asia with an assist from Elcamino, starting off the whole jawn with GORDOOOOOO!
Planet Asia has recorded a number of albums with single producers (or production teams) throughout his prolific career. He has dropped classic material with DJ Muggs, Apollo Brown, Gensu Dean, DJ Concept, and of course his boys DirtyDiggs. However, according to King Medallions himself, his upcoming 38 Spesh-produced album “Trust The Chain†might be his best single-producer album yet. The pairing of PA’s funky linguistics and Spesh’s soulful loops is a match made in Hip-Hop heaven. Trust The Chain Drops 2/28
The lead single “Learned From OGs†is a collection of street lessons being passed down by Fresno’s finest and guests Fred The Godson and Elcamino.

Homeboy Sandman – “Dusty” (Album)
Yep, Homeboy Sandman definitely has a [relatively] new LP out. And you know it’s a banger! When has the Homeboy ever not delivered? #Dusty #ButTheFlowsAreStillClean
This is the latest chapter for one of the most storied underground rappers of his generation. A versatile talent who has checked every last box: Unsigned Hype in The Source, Chairman’s Choice in the XXL. Rolling Stone hailed his songs as dense and word-drunk, spilling past the margins, demanding repeat listens as he re-works rap forms and functions into something truly personal.†Pitchfork said that in the all-star game of the new subterranean, “he is the guy with flawless fundamentals, wearing his socks high and his cleats sharp and polished.†His solo catalogue is sterling and over the last two years he’s mastered the group dynamic in tandem with fellow legends Aesop Rock and later, a brilliant psychedelic slab done in union with Edan.

Jack Frost x Sammy Smylez – “Free”
Jack Frost being cold with the flows once again. But this time, more meaning and message than braggadocio. Appropriate for the King Day playlist spins. Shout to Sammy, too!

Rev tagged me on the barz and I put up the dope work… EASY! My dude has the pedigree of a next-level emcee. Keeps proving it with flows like this. And Imma keep posting when it’s dope like this #Salute
Follow Rev on all Social Media @RevOfEMS
New Bedford, MA wordsmith Revalation (of EMS) drops a New 2-Minute long braggadocio laced Freestyle reminding people of his lyrical prowess over Kanye West’s “Follow God” instrumental. Along the way Rev comments on the “like” culture, celebrity worship and false prophets.
The freestyle serves as a taste until the many projects he’s working on in 2020 arrive, including an EMS crew album, a collab EP with GoD-iLLa & Rev’s solo debut “Emergency Broadcast” on Own Lane Music.

R&B: AWA – “Like I Do” (Video)
He said he loved me. I said, “Thank you boy. I love me, too.”
One time for the sexy self-assured women getting it in out here!
Maaaaan, when a Queen finds her Crown… better be a King about yours or you are about to bow down! Either way, stay out of AWA’s way. Back away!
Thank you to the whole team working so hard and making this happen!
– AWA
I like the vibe of this. I like AWA. Make up your own mind though. One suggestion though: You should cruise on over to her site https://www.ThisIsAWA.co/ and see what all this young & beautiful British bombshell is doing on the music front. Touring, making visuals, mastering her craft and such (Her blog says she spent five years finding her sound… they still doing artist development out here? Dope!)
