What I'm Watching: Mic Handz - "Don't Get Stomped" feat. Fame

This sht got me amped the hell up. Damn. Mic Handz and Lil' Fame straight beasting on this track produced by Aaron “Freedom” Lyles.

With the city on his back and the crowd chanting his name, a hero must rise to the occasion. But when it's time to put your guns up, Brooklyn spitter Mic Handz understands that sometimes fists are the best means of communication. A rowdy club anthem that plays out like the real life version of Def Jam: Fight for NY, "Don't Get Stomped" is the no holds barred smack down that we desperately need, especially in a time of new age R&B and soft rappers. As Handz plays the undisputed champion and Fame drops rhymes that pick up from where the legendary Rakim left off, we're treated to shots of some of BK's finest doing their thing in an undisclosed, underground location. You may wanna hit the rewind on this one a couple times and see if you can find all the cameos. "Don't Get Stomped" will be released on the upcoming Killin' the Game compilation from T.H.E.M Records. Somebody tell Apollo Creed to ring the bell and get this party started.

Army Of The Pharoahs - "In Death Reborn"

Just copped this today at the store. You can check out the entire dopeness of this album right here. Quality emcees, quality production, quality Hip-Hop. Can't complain.

After A 4-Year Hiatus Army Of The Pharaohs Returns With New LP “In Death Reborn”

Initiated in 1998 by Jedi Mind Tricks front-man Vinnie Paz as homage to the incredible rap crews of the 80’s and early 90’s, the Army of the Pharaohs has, from its outset, been an ever-evolving collective of celebrated emcees from the indie hip-hop scene. Founding members Vinnie Paz and Esoteric were featured on the crew’s original 12-inch single, “Five Perfect Exertions,” in 1998 and remain with the crew today. With the release of their debut studio album, The Torture Papers in 2006, the Pharaoh clique expanded to include accomplished solo emcees Apathy, Celph Titled, King Syze, Reef the Lost Cauze, and the Philly hip-hop duo and frequent Jedi Mind Tricks collaborators Outerspace.

In its nearly two decades, AOTP has released three studio albums alongside countless solo albums and side projects from its lineup of emcees that have been some of the most critically-acclaimed and best-selling indie hip hop records of the past 20-years. With the release of their newest effort, In Death Reborn, the Army returns after a four-year hiatus to release its fourth group album featuring the lead single/video for “God Particle” featuring Vinnie Paz, Planetary, Esoteric, Apathy & Celph Titled and produced by Stu Bangas. The album also features appearances by Blacastan, Zilla, Block McCloud, Demoz, Doap Nixon & King Magnetic.
