Rochester, NY emcee BROGAWD gets that work in! Dropping visuals for new single “Speed Bag Steez” (originally premiered via Paper Chase Dot Com). The track, which also features a verse from Pittsburgh’s FamRoss is anchored by an icy boom-bap instrumental (provided by Germany’s Fiqqouw). The result is authentic east coast lyricism and grit that any golden age fan can nod their head to.

“Speed Bag Steez” appears on the newly released fully collaborative Playbook EP, which conveys a sport theme to each track title. In addition to FamRoss’s two appearances on the project, Toronto’s masked-man New Villain also adds a verse.

Hip-Hop Heavyweight Kingdom Kome has just dropped a new single (with accompanying video). “Cracks In the Foundation” (Produced by long-time collaborator RUEN) is a socially conscious dose of jazzy boom-bap. As the emcee states “I was driving through my old neighborhood in Miami and it really had me thinking of the current state of the world today. It got me in an introspective state and I made this message to the youth.”

Available via streaming platforms now, “Cracks In the Foundation” is the first leak from the Barrel Reserve LP fully produced by RUEN.

Less than a year after the last collaborative LP the duo dropped, Malbec 2 Kingdom Kome reveals “we never stop working on music together. A number of these tracks were recorded while we were preparing Malbec 2 but were better suited for a separate project.”

Following the high-end connoisseur angle, Barrel Reserve is expertly crafted boom-bap for the real hip-hop aficionado. This extends to the album’s guest list, which includes Supreme Cerebral, Recognize Ali, Che Uno, DJ Exes, AjaxLo, Camarah Walleed and Soarse Spoken.

Kingdom Kome is still promoting his other recent LP for 2025 Alchemy II Ein Sof, which was entirely produced by another long-time production collaborator Onaje Jordan (Hometeam).
