Often it’s the dopest records that be the hardest for me to write about. Royce da 5’9″ had a tremendous day in terms of releases. A prominent presence over Eminem’s surprise drop “Music To Get Murdered By” and this. This. With his upcoming album, “The Allegory” soon to arrive “Overcomer” has a sample from Heaven itself, no pun intended. I say that because the moment you hear it, you want to hear it again, for Royce da 5’9″ has approached a realm of his own in terms of his production which breathes life into his works. To top it off you throw Griselda on the record with Westside Gunn opening up with his hard hitting bars setting the stage for Royce da 5’9″ to awe with his introspective raps delivered in flow that switches effortlessly. Also, today’s probably not the best day to be Yelawolf L to the O and an L.

This morning the internet woke up in a frenzy to an Alfred Hitchcock inspired album of mass proportions. “Music To Be Murdered By” came out of nowhere when the clock strucketh’ twelve and Eminem was driving social media into a buzz of debate, discussions, praise, & well a large range of emotions. To myself... I don’t understand how anyone can truly process an album in it’s entirety in the span of just one day or less. Especially with 20 songs totaling an hour and five minutes. I’ll tell you this though, DETROIT is on  fire this year in terms of the artistry unleashing at the dawn of this new decade, and it only feels right for Eminem to be a part of that conversation. I mean Royce da 5’9″, Black Thought, Q-Tip and himself on one record, come on. What are you waiting for, press play on your favorite streaming service or purchasing preference & keep safe well you dive into “Music To Be Murdered By“. Take in the music video for “Darkness” above as well!

With Mihajlo still in rotation Valid isn’t one to waste time, he’s giving us on glimpse on a good of day as any. He certainly gives January 8th a Detroit banger that should make any day proud. The production pulls you in from the sample and Valid delivers bar after bar that touches on personal aspects well stating quite a bit at the same time. “the Plum Brandy EP” is on it’s way and available for pre-order, and this peak into what’s to come is surely enough to peak any true hip-hop heads interest.
