AzraelRapsGood x The Dirty Sample – Dirty Drops of Mud (single/video)

For the first single for his upcoming album, Content, partnered with The Dirty Sample on production, AzraelRapsGood has updated his software and is wired in. “Dirty Drops of Mud” is a gritty ditty built on witty wordplay and multi-layered punchlines that are delivered rapid fire, each concept evolving effortlessly into the next. The song is a lyrical showcase, and it’s immediately evident Azrael raps good. And The Dirty Sample’s beat is also true to his name and the song’s, opening with a muddy bass line beneath a dominating few repeated guitar notes as if someone might be tuning their instrument, and then the drums kick in—heavy!  With their first single, the duo make a splash and now you have dirty drops of mud on your nice outfit.

The accompanying video produced by ARG Vidz has Azrael late night loitering, kicking his raps at some of his favourite 24 hour spots on Commercial Drive in Vancouver, BC.

Chadio – Wrong Way

The third single from Chadio is “Wrong Way”…

Throughout previous album No Wives Club and now on Cousin of Lucy, Chadio has spent enough time thinking about and speaking on his break-up, so new single “Wrong Way” provides a perfect closing piece. It’s about trying to dump emotional baggage and find closure. The bridge borrows a sentiment from a classic Sublime song, while the track (and by extension, the album) are closed out by a deadly scratch routine from former DMC champion DJ Wundrkut (RIP). And the incredibly busy drum break feels like driving away from town off to some new adventures.

Written and performed by Chadio
Produced by Pasquale and Aalo Guha
Cuts by DJ Wundrkut
