Killer Mike - Sunday Morning Massacres

Killer MIke unearths his unreleased 2008 project, "Sunday Morning Massacres". Killer Mike has seen more exposure and critical acclaim than ever following his partnership with El-P, but if you're a fan of Mike's work with Run the Jewels, you're doing yourself a disservice if you haven't dug deeper than R.A.P. Music. If you haven't looked back in Mike's catalog (or even if you have), Mike Bigga has provided a great place to start (though I Pledge Allegiance to the Grind is still highly recommended). Sunday Morning Massacres is a mixtape recorded in 2008 that never saw the light of day, but on this very Sunday morning has been given a surprise release.

Reason - Audio HD

Audio High Definitionis the brand new album by Reason and it is officially out today, 21 November 2014. Audio High Definition is the rapper’s second mainstream album to date but he has 3 albums under his belt and few mixtapes. The release comes right on the heels of Reason’s European and East African tour. The official release launch for Audio High Definition will be taking place today in Braamfontein, Joburg as part of a special media gathering.  Audio High Definition consists of fourteen tracks and features Thandiswa Mazwai, HHP, Tumi, Nigeria’s M.I., Bonang Matheba, Donald and Pac Div (USA). Another known fact is that Reason’s lead single, ‘2 Cups Shakur’, has been playlisted on national radio stations such as 5FM, Gagasi FM, and Metro FM for some time now.  Aside from simply focusing on local success, Reason is all set on expanding a wider net that engulfs an audience stretching the world wide. He has had the opportunity to share the stage with a few of the Hip Hop world’s most recognised American male artists such as Nas, Wiz Khalifa and Timbaland at the Castle Lite Extra Cold Music Festival; and also 2Chains and Kendrick Lamar for Miller’s Boom Town Concert Series.  His global tour resume includes countries such as Norway, Germany, Amsterdam, and USA. In his own words Reason insists that Audio High Definition is not about competing with AKA, K.O. nor Cassper Nyovest. "I am competing with major international stars – Drake – Kendrick Lamar – I see myself in a lane of my own  – not comparable with the likes of Schoolboy Q, AKA, K.O. or Cassper Nyovest.” “… real talk, after this I deserve [for] everybody to bow and be like ‘we respect, we hear you, here is the crown… take it’.”  According to the album press release… “What distinguishes Reason from K.O., Khuli Chana, Tumi, AKA and Cassper Nyovest is the ease with which he goes from supreme lyricist, to hit maker without missing beat.”

Momentss - Pretext EP

We declared our support for Momentss. Their album is the perfect audio accompaniment to modern-day South Africa, a country as beautiful as it is fraught: with corruption; with rising levels of poverty; with a state which has developed hostile tactics to silence its critics (like last week’s parliamentary fracas). Our adoration for the live collective reached peak level earlier today upon discovering that they’d put their entire project up for free download. Their first single was released earlier this week. Titled “The Vibe”, it’s a much-needed piece of social commentary partly directed at draconian tactics inflicted upon the larger public by some sectors of the South African government. Slogans such as “shoot to kill!” – referencing former national police commissioner Bheki Cele’s pronouncements in 2009 that “police must shoot to kill [and] worry later” – and questions about the whereabouts of taxes related to the debacle surrounding President Jacob Zuma’s Nkandla homestead automatically set Momentss.

Detroit rapper Dusty McFly released his new project, Evergreen, with features from Jon Connor, Scotty ATL, Cardo and more. If the Mustard-esque beat on the track made you think that the Detroit native moved to Cali, just wait until you see the video. Desert landscapes, a man with a Dodgers logo tatted on the back of his head, and scenes that recall Nicolas Winding Refn's neo-noir film "Drive" (shot in Los Angeles) all add up to make Dusty's Detroit residence seem like a thing of the past.

F.E.B. (Four Elements & Beyond) - Beyond The Elements

Coming forward with a new EP (as part of Four Elements and Beyond) entitled ‘Beyond The Elements’, Miggs continues to demonstrate a strong command over his lyricism; painting visuals of dark and corruptive scenarios with a continuous and direct, free-flowing delivery. Building in morbid and violent imagery throughout, the EP is laced with several themes the most prominent of which seems to be survival. After The Kill’ tells a tale of revenge, ‘All You Can Eat’ plays on an image of gluttony where other rappers are a meal waiting to be eaten, whilst ‘Cold Blooded’ and ‘Lab Rats’ unveil stream of consciousness flows that savagely depict the mentality of doing what needs to be done in order to get by.
