SCRATCHTHEBLOCK PRESENTS: DA JOINT

Yes, we have to admit it! Scratchtheblock.com has a specific inclination for old-school-esque hip-hop tunes. We grew up eating bread and albums like Resurrection,Like Water For Chocolate,Midnight Marauders as well as All Eyez On Me,Ready To Die! As from 2010 hip-hop music explored new sonorities absorbing different styles from pop to electronic and trap. Well, business is business , so it’s a normal process for an artist to think about mainstream music. Now, far be it from us to reject the entire hip-hop new school scene, but in our humble opinion it’s very difficult to find something really dope and original. On the contrary the underground scene is living a fruitful moment and it is bringing back the old-school vibe for our pleasure. Da Joint is a selection of brilliant emcees and producers who will blow your mind with serious and great hip-hop pieces. Enjoy the trip scratchers!

The jam represents what we love to hear, infectious soulful and head-nodding beats and solid bars. Brooklyn rapper Fresh Daily  spits some verses on da mic and Question cooked a superb production behind the board sampling Come Unto Me by Take 6.

Philly spitter Rhyshon Jones recently released a so fucking hot smash from the forthcoming EP You’re Safe Now.The solid joint is called No Preaching and we have to say it unveils the shiny mastery of a microphone killer able to embody the creative mindset and style of Chi-Twon rapper Lupe Fiasco and solid,eclectic and cool approach that reminds Kanye West.Ryshon uses the mic as a pencil, drawing an impressive piece of art counting on da support of Contour & Tunk Dunnerman.Mad props to Contour & Tunk Dunnerman for the top-notch instrumental where jazzy sonorities fuse with soulful hip-hop beats to create a flawless sonic experience!
