H.W. of The Scribblenauts hit me up earlier with this track over an Oddisee beat (Lava Lamp off Oddisee Instrumental Mixtape, Vol. 1). It's basically a reflection of his life and probably the life many other non famous rappers live. It's kind of an anthem. I definitely dig it and hope other folks will gravitate towards it. The Mad Bloggers decided to jump on board and push this joint out. It's definitely a dope track. Check it out. Hit up the comment section with your thoughts. CHEA!
You want beats? Download this mix full of Baltimore Bangers. I listened to most of them and they're not bad. Check it out.
Here is a recently released beat project from Baltimore that doesn't have some of the pitfalls other Baltimore projects have. I highly recommended you give this a listen. There are some great up and coming as well as established producers and beatmakers on this. You won't be disappointed.
Pretty good track right here by Doey Rock. MTK's production bangs too. Courtesy of DJ Booth.

Mims Music Group & emerging emcee Deena Jonez present the first single “Cold Pillow” off “Kings County: Where We From” Mixtape”. Produced by Ruckazoid, the single is a remake/remix from the Theophilius Londons original song "Cold Pillow."
Deena Jonez explains: “Cold Pillow is about a female coming out of a relationship without any regrets, taking everything for what it's worth, and learning from the experience. Even though the guy did her wrong she still has love for him but instead of working it out she'd rather focus on her life, and career.”
Check out the track/video from the MC from Nova Scotia. Tell me what you think.

Check out this eclectic album from Slippery Elm and AstroLogical. I assumed just by their names what kind of album this was gonna be. Though not what I usually listen to, I kinda enjoyed this one.
Milky Ways is a revelation—an electric dream, and a succulent curse. It is the shared artistic vision of two Vancouver hip-hoppers questing to realize the dark spirit of space-lust, also known as nazza, in sound form. Celebrated producer & musician—AstroLogical, and emcee & published poet—Slippery Elm, have ventured deep into the black waters of their unconscious and emerged with a new jazz & poetry that is at once otherworldly, insurgent, and uniquely their own. Unlike previous creative endeavours as members of Vancouver hip-hop super-group Elekwent Folk, for this project Astro and Slippery have navigated away from their usual eclectic and carefree sound in favour of a highly stylized, focused, and specific vibe that permeates the entire album—start to finish. Twisting psychedelic word-images wrap nimbly around cosmic cushiony beats oozing with space-lust and the milk of all worlds, in a dazzling display of musicianship and lyricism. Here are two masters of their art who shaped and polished the rough coal of these songs till they glowed like a supernatural diamond. And they’re not alone; the album features collaborations with Vancouver vocalist Claire Mortifee, and saxophone player/editor of White Hot Magazine of Contemporary Art—Noah Becker.
If what they’re saying is true, and Astro really did produce this album in a two day beat-making binge, and Slippery really did get kidnapped from out his window by a giant black bird while enjoying a morning wake and bake, and if lightning really did breakout in Vancouver during the recording of this album—mid take, the result is a musical masterpiece designed to be enjoyed while on mushrooms, in a dark forest, or while sipping absinthe from a silver goblet in a leather chair by fireside. Regardless, whatever your listening preference, play this album at night.
Are you an aspiring artist? Well, get out a pen and paper and write notes. Even if you're not, my homegirl Jessica Estevez (iHeartDilla.com) drops knowledge in her interview with Manik Magazine for their ODE TO HIP HOP piece. And she shouts out The Mad Bloggers? Yeah, I can't be mad at that (Ha). Anway, enjoy. It's definitely worth the watch.
The homie Chuuwee might watch a bit too much Spongebob. But this track is pretty cool. Cookin Soul on the production and the Sacramento emcee on the rhyme. Enjoy the Film Collins directed short, "Bikini Bottom (Sponge Bob)." It's okay to laugh. Chea!
