Lauryn Hill - "Neurotic Society" - {Audio}

 New music from Lauryn Hill is like a Bigfoot siting, and even though a lot of people didn't get this song REal HipHop heads can appreciate the poetry of it. After a open letter regarding her very public legal battle and the recording agreement she has reached with Sony Worldwide Entertainment. Sista is goin’ in on this track lyrically as if she has a message to share but only have 4 mintues and 23 seconds to do it.  It's pretty dam dope...to me, tell me what do you y'all think.

Erica Kane Releases Her Sophmore Project "BAD DAUGHTER" - {Audio}

 Queens soulful Emcee/Singer Erica Kane's sophmore project "BAD DAUGHTER ", a 11-track mixtape telling a very self-inspired story through creative HipHop, Rap,and R&B  soul sounds. With songs like "Got Tha Free" and "Mom's Home", Erica Kane uses her raw life experiences, flow, soulful lyrics, and melodic voice to reflect her story about her experiences while acting as a voice of the youth,bringing attention to a very raw perspective of the young females of this generation. "BAD DAUGHTER" spreads a message that you can find the most beautiful things in life by accepting, loving, and learning from yourself. This project is for anyone who loves being themselves no matter what the masses think.

Ugly Heroes (Apollo Brown, Verbal Kent & Red Pill) - "Graves" - {Audio}

 Apollo Brown is always on his grind, he teams up with Verbal Kent and Red Pill to form the super group Ugly Heroes.  Their track, "Graves", is a nasty blue collar joint that lyrically stares down the reality of living in a rigged system and having to grind day after day until you're six feet under. I really love the new Boom Bap HipHop of today,  thanks to producers like Apollo Brown.

The Black Opera - "Queen of Hearts" (Ft. Mayer Hawthorne) - {Official Video}

The Black Opera's video "Queen Of Hearts" is one of those joints that never got it's proper credit.   TBO and director Andy Madeleine tell the visual story of a K U E E N in search of fulfillment in life.  TBOGs  Nokbai and Sensu provide a colorful backdrop to the video through their word play, and Mayer Hawthorne provides perfect pitch on the hook.  "Queen Of Hearts" has proven to be a stand-out track on "Libretto: Of King Legend", and has become a TBO instant classic.  In 2000 the jam was "Climax", and now the anthem is "Queen Of Hearts".
 

MESSAGE FROM THE BLACK OPERA:
“While in search of his Queen of Hearts, or some would say, KUEENZ of Heart, the King was not very trusting with any of his beautiful possibilities.  Once he learned how to trust himself, then and only then, was he able to trust and L O V E Without A Limit."

Martin $ky - "critiCALI" - {Official Video}

Off his project Time(less), Martin $ky 's "critiCALI" is probably one of the dopest lyrically sound song made in the best few years. I'm hoping one of these days he gets the attention of some REal HipHop heads, I know they will appreciate what he brings to the game.
