Queens, NY emcee J. ManifestO presents the Live Loud-directed music video for “Monologue”, a single from his mixtape J. Manifesto, featuring MC Elijah Black, JohnNY U., Khid 2che, A. Will, Dom O Briggs and Top $ Raz. “‘Monologue’ was inspired by me wanted to leave an imprint,” says J. “I wanted to send a message, to showcase my straight up rapping ability. I know how ‘formatted’ this industry has became where everyone follows the same blueprint as far as structuring songs and reaching specific demographics. So, I wanted to step away from that, at least for a song.” J is currently working on an EP with “Laffayette Stokely and JohnNY U. called ‘New Kingdom’.
Video: Verbal Kent – Raponomics (prod. Khrysis)
In early 2014, MMG brought together Ugly Heroes member and local fire eater Verbal Kent with North Carolina’s Khrysis (Jamla, Away Team) to bring us Sound of the Weapon. In their newest video, “Raponomics”, they come together to explain the market in hip-hop. Weak MCs’ stock is depreciating. Kent chains bars together with slurred rhymes while Khrysis’ heavy drums lead the head nod. If you weren’t convinced in the duo yet, the new video shows both artists at their best.
Stream: MarQ Spekt & Blockhead – SumOfItsParts
Hot off his 2011 collaboration album with Cunninlynguist producer Kno (“Machetevision”), Philly emcee MarQ Spekt teams up with New York producer Blockhead (Aesop Rock, Illogic, Murs, Atmosphere) for one of the grilchiest Hip Hop albums of 2014; ‘JustPlayWitIt’. Listen to the first singel ‘SumOfItsParts’ below!
Representing a certain aggression that is lacking in today’s culture, JustPlayWitIt showcases MarQ Spekt’s bizzarly verbose wordplay over Blockheads’s sirty yet sophisticated production. MarQ Spekt throws a little dirt on the game with JustPlayWitIt; as he walks into the current house of Hip Hop, tracks mud on the rug, sits on the couch and puts his soiled boots up on the table. ‘JustPlayWitIt’ will be available July 29th on HiPNOTT Records!
