Jon Hope — “Rhode Less Traveled” [VIDEO]

Posted on April 28, 2012 by Chris

After Verbal made the post for Jon Hope’s “Rhode Less Traveled,” the world of hip-hop went into a wild frenzy. Following said events, Hope was approached to debut his video for the single to his much-anticipated Work in Progress (dropping May 9th) on BET’s 106 and Park. This was all by way of the strong-arm influence of The Echo Chamber Blog.

What you just read — those were lies. But moments spent in the land of make-believe help me keep on keeping on with my extracurricular activities up here on TECB. Delusions of grandeur, you dig?

Foolishness aside, this video is great and it did actually premiere on 106 and Park. We had nothing to do with the video making its way onto BET; Jon’s talent and quality of music are what landed him there. Much respect to him.

Congratulations, Mr. Hope. We can’t wait to see what’s next.

Until then, cast your vote!

Falside – “Billy Idol”

Posted on April 28, 2012 by Chris

This is “Billy Idol,” the first single off of Falside’s East Toast project, set for a release in the upcoming summer months. Check it:

AAANND… The countdown has officially started. We’re likely minutes away from a rapper thinking they can flow to this and flat-out ruining it with their half-assed rebel yell. William Michael Albert Broad will be pissed. Almost as pissed as when his parents named him William Michael Albert Broad.

Phonte x Ev x Big K.R.I.T. – “The Life of Kings” [VIDEO]

Posted on April 28, 2012 by Chris

Although I’ve never been big on Little Brother anything, and I don’t enjoy supporting a single piece of music that includes the phrase “real talk,” I do like this song. My dude DJ Primitive, who has been nominated by The Providence Phoenix for “Best DJ,” put me on to this track when he spun this during my debut appearance on the WRIU airwaves.

Let us know how you like the song, and if you’re feeling Evidence’s new look.

Jahpan – “Love 2 Lust”

Posted on April 28, 2012 by Chris

Y’all know Fedd Hill. Which means you surely know Jahpan, the hoarse-voiced rhyme reciter from the immediate Federal family. And because no further introduction is necessary, note that Jahpan released the first song off of his upcoming album, Sex Drug$ The Weekend.

Give it a spin:

And let us know how you’re feeling.

Gangrene — Odditorium EP

Posted on April 28, 2012 by Chris

As far as hip-hip releases go, it’s been pretty slow in 2012.  Vodka & Ayahuasca is undoubtedly the best to hit stores, and I honestly can’t picture anyone out-doing the sophomore effort from dirt-dogs Alchemist and Oh No, the producer x emcee combo known collectively as Gangrene. If they were to be outdone, it could only be done by their own hand. Turns out, last week the duo released Odditorium EP, a limited edition vinyl picture disc, for Record Store Day (I did’t see it anywhere), and the top-notch quality of the project’s sound is definitely on the same level as their full-length from the beginning of the year.

This is a sampling of the hooch:

Yes. Gangrene is on their gladiator shit, and, lucky enough for you, the EP isn’t exclusive to folks who favor forty-five rotations per minute. Get the download over here, grow some wings, and come back through TECB to boost my already inflated blogging ego with praise.
