108. Juga-Naut x Giallo Point – The Passion

要數英國嘅“大粒嘢”,一定要數Juga-Naut 同 Giallo!”The Passion”正正係講緊佢地對音樂致敬嘅態度同對專業嘅擔當。Juga-Naut 同 Giallo 靠佢地嘅合作專輯 “Back To The Grill Again” 入面一首中毒性極強嘅旋律,成功成為今次榜單嘅第一位,亦係最適合狂loop嘅一首!

107. Flee Lord x 38 Spesh f/ Termanology – Not For Fashion

邪惡嘅創作- “Not For Fashion”係3個MC 聯手,製作出黎最原始同粗糙嘅版本!令我驚喜嘅仲有呢段副歌,絕對係對手嘅一大威脅!

A nasty nasty cut. “Not For Fashion” sees the 3 Mc’s link up to give you that street shxt raw and uncut! Love me the flavor of this hook too. This is one mean menace!

106. Jaykin f/ Jay Worthy – Monte Carlo (prod. by U-Tern)

溫哥華MC, Jaykin同Jay Worthy拍檔,將paper chase變成史記,呢個最強合體將one-two verse玩到出神入化,根本無得輸!

Vancouver MC, Jaykin links with Jay Worthy to add to the chronicles of the paper chase. This fly ass joint got the collabo rippin’ a fly one-two verse combo for the win!

105. Benny The Butcher f/ India – 5 To 50

Benny The Butcher一直都係我地榜上的常客。知唔知道佢啱啱簽咗Roc Nation?Gat Damn. 佢EP”The Plugs I Met”入面feature India嘅作品-“The Plugs I Met”,係一段令你聽完絕對會上腦嘅逼真旁白!呢首由Alchemist製作嘅催眠曲,慢慢燃燒起各位Bentley riders嘅熱誠!

SPITGAN PREMIERE : FUTUREWAVE X DANIEL SON, BEETLEJUICE


By Jordan C.

Toronto production duo The Lost Info (Futurewave & Ol Man 80zz) have been on the scene for a minute but it wasn’t until they started working with lyricists Daniel Son and Asun Eastwood that they popped up on our radar. While they dropped a full album with Brooklyn’s Justo The MC and Futurewave handled a whole project for Atlanta’s Heem Stogied last year, it was their work with buzzing emcees from their own city that shined the most. “Summer’s Fuckin Over” and “Vinyl Dust Blunts” off Asun Eastwood’s Hollywood Briggs album (both of which feature Daniel Son) displayed the kind of rich production that leaves a lasting impression. Then at the end of January, Daniel Son hit ‘em in the head with a Futurewave banger titled “Trust The Process” that had heads excited for what else these two have planned for 2018.

Well, today SPITGAN is proud to premiere the video for “Beetlejuice.” This joint is the official single off Futurewave’s upcoming producer album Wav.God, which also features tracks with Hus Kingpin, Nowaah the Flood, Heem Stogied, Justo The MC, plus an epic posse cut with Asun Eastwood, Recognize Ali, Flashius Clayton, and J Scienide.

The beat on “Beetlejuice” is mostly just a deep groove bass line and downtempo drums, but once in a while a heavily filtered vocal sample creeps in. With so much room to get loose, Son gets on his “Bakaow” shit and caves in the competition’s head. When he says, “Went to Venezuela just to buy me these Tims / that Ralph stay on me like a Siamese Twin,” we grinned so hard it almost hurt our cheeks. As if the combination of Futurewave and DS wasn’t a potent enough mixture, they get together once again with Mercenary Productions for some fire visuals. With convulsive camera work and wavy effects this video aims to recreate an acid trip Daniel Son experienced. Warning: This may trigger flashbacks for those that have done too many hallucinogens.

Wav.God drops on March 1st but pre-orders are up now at: Lostinfomusic.com

SPITGAN PREMIERE : DANIEL SON “MOONSHINE MIX”

DANIELSON_MOONSHINEMIX_COV
Writer : Jordan C.

也許你以為SPITGAN就只在香港吧!實際上我們的爪牙覆蓋了世界各地,包括加拿大的多倫多。作為一個Hip-Hop的行家,我們當然盡可能接觸所有在世界各地生產出來的優質音樂。所以當最後多倫多再次冒出頭來的時候,我們十分的興奮!這邊有幾個重要的名字讓多倫多的Hip-Hop再次走出這個城市,特別一個年輕的名字- Daniel Son取得了最大的迴響。他的聲音、韻律、節奏、甚至價值觀都讓我們會想到Hip-Hop那個黃金的90年代。DS是Crate Division的其中一員,一個橫貫大陸的團隊。除了Daniel Son以外,還有多倫多的製作人Vic Grimes、來自英國的主持及製作人PhybaOptikz及製作人Giallo Point。從這個陣容便可以看得出DS的創作並不缺乏可供選擇的節奏。
而今年稍早的時候,Daniel就將Giallo一個蠻受歡迎的項目Remo Gaggi合併,經過一些加加減減以後,變成了14首最頂級作品。Moonshine Mix便是這系列中一個連貫的第一集作品。這製作是由CDVZ的團隊Grimes和Phyba專門處理,他們帶來一種業餘條件之下的自製風格及精神。 唯一的合作嘉賓是多倫多的Raspy和Blizw,及他的Brother-in-bars Recognize Ali。不過,從第一首DS的Solo Shark Fishing都很明顯知道他不需要任何幫忙。從頭聽到尾可能會像醉酒一樣,每句句子都深深地吸引著你。

While SPITGAN may be Hong Kong based, you may not know we have roots in Toronto, Canada. And as Hip-Hop connoisseurs, we try to keep abreast of scenes around the world that produce quality music. So, when TO started bubbling again recently, you know we were excited. There is a couple key names making hardbody Hip-Hop out the city, but a young blood named Daniel Son has got the biggest buzz. His voice, flow, and even values are throwbacks to the Golden Age…and he knows it. He is part of Crate Division, a transcontinental crew that includes himself and producer Vic Grimes out of TO, and emcee/producer PhybaOptikz and producer Giallo Point from the UK. So, as should be obvious from that line-up, DS has got no shortage of beats to choose from.

Earlier this year he dropped a well-received project with Giallo titled Remo Gaggi, and after a couple dope loosies and features, he’s back with another 14-track banger. Moonshine Mix is the first instalment in a series, and is served up as one continuous mix. The production is handled exclusively by CDVZ cohorts Grimes and Phyba, and they bring them bathtub gin beats. The only guests here are DS’ hometown fam Raspy and Blizz, as well as his brother-in-bars Recognize Ali. However, from the first song, Shark Fishing, which is DS solo, it’s clear dun don’t need no assists. He’s killing ’em with every verse. A full listen of this project will likely leave you inebriated…so what are you waiting for.
