We may be in the depth of winter but the music is still flowing and bringing warm vibes to your soul. The latest heat comes from beat maker Mz Boom Bap out of Porto, Portugal. I first heard the beatmaker on Ryler Smith’s Alleviation EP, he continues where he left off bringing those Golden Era sounds to our ears. The Rawness EP is filled with dope horn samples, intricate drum patterns, and dope emcees leaving you wanting more. Highly Recommended!
It has been a minute but the music is still flowing. I am a little late getting into Epidemic but I haven’t been so hyped on a group in such a long time. Their flows are on point and the production is super tight, it is like these guys should’ve been releasing albums in the early nineties with their boom bap sound. They just dropped the album 4 dimensions On Paper in April. Go cop this album!!!
The New Mexico emcee Wake Self just dropped a new single I Still Love Her which takes you on a ride through the Golden Era of Hiphop. The video is super creative, recreating all these classic hiphop albums. The song features Ma Dukes, Miles Bonny provided the horns and Young Native producing the track. It is dope, go check it out!
In the last few years, there has been a resurgence or movement to bring back the Golden Era sound. Most recently, the US ambassador of hiphop has been bestowed upon the seventeen year old A-F-R-O Gutierrez, his skills and knowledge has been unparalleled to any other upcoming emcee. While the US has been struggling trying to get a legitimate Golden Era frontman, Europe has embraced the Golden Era sound and has been pumping out releases for a few years. INDIGOD out of Switzerland is the next group to step up to the plate to give us that classic boom bap sound. The group is comprised of Ryler Smith and Merlin Alexander, they bring their quick alternate flows layered with some dope beats which automatically gets your head nodding. Highly Recommended!
The heads are always referring the golden era of hip hop, and how those were the days when music was made with substance. The dj, the producer, the emcee were on point bringing their best with the essence of making great music. I agree with the heads that the essence of making great music has been lost to making money, but not everyone in the music industry is trying to make stacks, there are artists who still strive for great music. Dj Nu-Mark of Jurassic 5 and Slimkid3 of Pharcyde have just dropped a nameless album on the Delicious Vinyl imprint and they are aiming for great music. Slimkid3’s smooth flow and delivery fits perfectly over Nu-Mark’s golden era production. This album transports me to the mid nineties, great beats and rhymes, highly recommended!
