Hip Hop 2018

New Year, New Thread.

Should start this off with the 2017 wrap up from Skillz

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozlhYYBfWGk

and the first beef of 2018 which has followed on from this. Apparently Uncle Murda has copied the wrap up theme and Skillz has shot back at him

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqy9-fjQyRQ

Not sure what's going to happen here, but one to watch.

Next up this year is a new track from Kendrick and SZA produced by Sounwave.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfCqMv--ncA

This is from that Black Panther soundtrack, TDE are curating the soundtrack which should essentially be a TDE roster album. I also think that Ab Soul should have something this year.

Raekwon has dropped 2 songs so far this year

https://soundcloud.com/iceh2orecords/the-sky-prod-by-roadsart

I much prefer The Sky over The Biz.

Strictly not Hip Hop, but there's the first single from Justin Timberlake produced by Timmy.

I'll have to have a proper dig to see what albums are slated for 2018

really liking this

Muirshin Durkin · 06-01-2018 2:48pm

always love the yearly Mad Skillz wRAP up. Definitely one of the most underrated to do it.

Boom_Bap · 06-01-2018 4:02pm

New track from Lil Uzi Vert that I like quite a bit for some reason

https://soundcloud.com/tm88-808mafia/tm88-x-southside-x-lil-uzi-vert-mood

Boom_Bap · 10-01-2018 8:21pm

So in some interview, Dre said that he's been working on some songs for................Detox!

Will it happen this year?

Muirshin Durkin · 10-01-2018 10:49pm

“I asked Dr. Dre if Detox is permanently shelved and he replied, ‘I’m working on a couple songs right now. We’ll see,'” Haynes’ tweet reads.

Don't think it sounds like he will

11-01-2018 12:32pm

Should have put this here; Had it in the old thread :P

Loving this

Really excited for the Album with Dr. Dre!

Shapey Fiend · 11-01-2018 9:20pm

Regional rap sounds are apparently a thing again. People are starting to cop you shouldn't all sound like you're from Atlanta.

Here's some Milwaukee ish.

.

Novelty joke grime is sometimes the best grime.

Boom_Bap · 15-01-2018 12:40pm

Jay Rock is also planning an album for this year. I'm excited about this as I still bump 50059 alot.

Boom_Bap · 17-01-2018 11:05am

Roc Marciano tweeted that his next album "RR2: The Bitter Dose" is coming in Feb

melted_face · 17-01-2018 1:52pm

new ep from rejjie snow ! haven't listened yet but if it's anywhere near as good as 1992 or the singles he's put out since (i'm conveniently ignoring the moon & you to make my point seem valid) , it'll be a banger . best hope for irish hip hop atm

Black Milk has announced that he's finished recording his new album called Fever, should be out this year.

There's a studio snippet available

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcQHzSlMj8E

I'm interested to see how this goes, I like when producers bring in live musicians and direct them like what's in this video. Plus the drums sound real interesting.

And here's a single I found from it
https://soundcloud.com/massappealrecs/black-milk-laugh-now-cry-later

Very interesting indeed.

Boom_Bap · 18-01-2018 4:57pm

New song from Evidence produced by Premo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFkrhvNjkag

Boom_Bap · 18-01-2018 5:12pm

Song from Grieves, not for the roll-out of a new album though sadly, just a gift ahead of the Euro leg of his tour

Boom_Bap · 23-01-2018 10:35am

New track from MF DOOM

https://soundcloud.com/ghostly/dabrye-lil-mufukuz-feat-doom-1

Seems to be saying how the new wave of 'rappers' are sh*t.

Boom_Bap · 23-01-2018 5:01pm

Cut Chemist featuring Edan and Mr Lif with another banger

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCtqURU5IYc

Shapey Fiend · 24-01-2018 4:25pm

This ones straigh fiyah IMO.

Jesse The Wolf f. Juelz Santana and Ghostface

https://soundcloud.com/jesseandthewolf/selecta-feat-ghostface-killah-juelz-santana-telli-1

A bit of a different sound, I kinda dig it.

There were a few releases last Friday that I plan to check out:
Evidence - Weather or Not
Ghostface Killa & Apollo Brown - The Brown Tape
Migos - Culture II

Boom_Bap · 29-01-2018 4:44pm

I love Rob Sonic, I love this new jam from Rob Sonic

Boom_Bap · 31-01-2018 5:30pm

Anyone remember Capital D from All Natural? He released an EP recently

https://soundcloud.com/cap-d/sets/emmett-still/s-5ofBP

Boom_Bap · 02-02-2018 12:54pm

This is f*cking deadly

Stab*City · 02-02-2018 2:12pm

For some reason im starting to like some trap artists and some of the newer stuff which is weird as i was strictly 90's boom bap or west coast sound up until now..

I'm coming around to it as well, like I enjoyed that 2 Chains album last year, I like that Post Malone song (is that trap) and that Gucchi Gang song is catchy as begorrah.
A load of it sounds the same though to me.

Lil Uzi Vert & Young Thug both very good artists.

Orizio · 02-02-2018 2:28pm

New Evidence and Payroll Giovanni are very good.

Boom_Bap · 02-02-2018 2:35pm

Yeah I've checked out most of Evidence and I was nodding along, I think it's far more rounded than his last album which was good as well.

Here's a mixtape from B.Dolan, some nice little mash-ups on it.

I like that new Migos album and also some of the Lil Uzi Vert stuff.. Ya and i like Post Malone as well.

Im a house/techno producer with a Hip Hop background and i cant wait to make some trap for some reason.. Maybe a mid life crisis!

Im not sure what to make of XXXTentacion but im listening to all of it with an open ear and an open mind. Also like the sound of Rae Sremmurd.. Anyway great to have so much dope tracks to listen to right now with all my new discoveries.

Boom_Bap · 02-02-2018 5:01pm

Another song from the Black Panther soundtrack - The Wknd and Kendrick

It's alright on first listen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5xERXE7pxI

Shapey Fiend · 04-02-2018 12:37am

I've loved rnbish trap music for years but it's verrrry hit and miss. Needed to find the right curators because it's not an album medium. Migos a prime example critics push the idea constantly but they're singles artists. Best full length of the 2010s is still Tha Tour Pt. 1.

Young Thugs set last summer was stupidly good his voice is incredible if he hasn't done a live album yet he should cos that autotunes flattening so much.

I need to to go to more gigs. Or Dublin promoters need to book more contemporary rap for actual venues rather than support acts in the O2 and festivals for 17 year olds who can't handle their drugs. I don't even mind kids but they were tossing glass bottles in the air and ****.

Boom_Bap · 07-02-2018 9:23pm

Some older heads might appreciate this, Nine and the Snowgoons have an album coming out

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB083RGpGBc

Boom_Bap · 09-02-2018 11:31am

MF DOOM and CzarFace are making an album together called Czarface meets Metal Face. And they've even released a song off it

New Blackstar album announced at a gig over the weekend.
No HI-Tek though, Madlib to produce :eek:

New Nipsey Hustle feat Kendrick

Stab*City · 14-02-2018 1:51pm

Anyone listen to the Drink Champs podcast on Itunes? Actually quiet good.

Boom_Bap · 14-02-2018 2:09pm

Really like that Nipsey/Kendrick song.

Never listened to that podcast, for Hip Hop i listen to Joe Budden, Juan Ep/Rosenberg, Super Duty Tough Work and Combat Jack (RIP)

I probably have enough on my plate!

14-02-2018 2:46pm

Does Joe Budden make music anymore?
Last stuff I heard from him was that Slaughterhouse Album

Nope, he talks about being retired all the time. But there are exceptions, if SlaughterHouse come calling and want to record something new and there is one person that ever releases a diss track about him, he will fire back. He doesn't name that person though.
It's thought to be Drake, but Drake recently said some stuff in one of those new tracks he released, but Joe didn't see it as a diss.

Last year he was on a daily web show on Complex called Everyday Struggle, he left just before Christmas and there was some hoopla around it. But there have been a few things thought to be disses and some blatant ones. Vic Mensa has said some stuff in a freestyle, and Migos made a diss track and video about him.

Oh....there is apparently a shelved SlaughterHouse album as well that he has threatened to release a couple of times.

I watch everyday struggle its a bit sh*t since joe left.. Akademiks is such a lick arse.. lets on to be all about the artists but in fact just trying to get himself out there as much as possible..

Boom_Bap · 14-02-2018 5:21pm

I've grown to like Ak, and f*ck it, he was given a bigger platform so why not try to sell himself a little more

It's definitely not as good since Joe left. Star just keeps asking the same question on every subject and then likes to talk about having a concealed firearm permit.
Although, there is some stuff about Snoop bubbling from him, I'd like to hear more about that.

Boom_Bap · 20-02-2018 1:07pm

Another song from the upcoming Black Milk album

https://soundcloud.com/massappealrecs/truelies?in=blackmilkofficial%2Fsets%2Ffever

Digging it, not quite hip hop though.

Boom_Bap · 22-02-2018 3:54pm

Tasty new song from U-God with a few Wu lads featured.

Hearing great things about it, I have it on the phone ready to be listened to, but to warm me up I've been listening to the new Daz Dillinger album and YG.

Stab*City · 23-02-2018 10:53am

Production on it is something else.

Easily the best album of the year so far.
