#music #hiphop #spokenword

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been (im)patiently waiting for Maestro Gamin (aka Matt Gamin) to release a spoken word project (You might remember when we posted the video for “Fashion“). That day came, on April 30th, when he dropped a 9-track album, titled “KINGLI$H“. Teak got behind the beats, with some beautiful instrumentation, while Wax Gotti hit it with cuts.

This album has a high level of sophistication, to where I felt like I was transported to a jazz lounge in the ’50s. It’s dimly lit, smoke permeates the air, wine is being sipped, and people are mesmerized as they listen to a poet eloquently speak. It’s relaxing, and I loved every moment. Gamin has a lot to say and you’re going to vibe with him as he speaks softly to you. Check it out.

FenaxiZ rounds up fellow US! members (an 8-person music collective) Alex Dimez and Wylie, for a posse cut about pursuing dreams. The single was produced by royceBIRTH.

@gensudean #hiphop #music

After releasing “Lo-Fi Fingahz” in February, Gensu Dean has a brand new single, titled “Ramesses” (which is a term for ancient Egyptian royalty, Pharaohs to be specific). Gensu unleashes an apocalyptic beat, with a contagious wailing vocal sample and guitar riffs that make your face scrunch. Then, 7evenThirty and Homeboy Sandman bring an intense energy, spitting rapid-fire raps about kingdoms, snatching crowns, hieroglyphics, mumifying other guys kickin’ weak shit, riding on the back of a Sphinx, and drinking tons of water to suppress hunger. Check it out.
