DJ Soko feat. Guilty Simpson & Hassaan Mackey – Stand Up [Stream x Download]

The ominous horns and pounding drums herald the beginning of the blistering opening verse of “Stand Up”, the lead single from DJ Soko (The Left)’s upcoming project on his new imprint Left Of Center. The Apollo Brown produced banger is the perfect aural backdrop for Guilty Simpson and Hassaan Mackey to spit verbal murder over punctuated by DJ Soko’s masterful cuts. When all of these elements come together the end result is an instant headnod starter kit. Guilty Simpson and Hassaan Mackey’s combined bars are the sonic equivalent of the water truck scene in “Snowpiecer” (if you haven’t seen “Snowpiercer”, you’re going to want to after hearing this song). Regard “Stand Up” as a portent of things to come once DJ Soko’s debut LP “Domino Effect” drops this August. You’ve been warned…

DJ Soko feat. L.A.Z., Red Pill & Noveliss – Soko Flow [Stream]

If you’re a fan of lyricism and bars then “Soko Flow” is a must listen. Red Pill (Ugly Heroes) forms a three man lyrical tag team with Clear Soul Forces members L.A.Z. and Noveliss over a NAMELESS beat . The final product is akin to when Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko worked together to craft timeless art at Marvel Comics back in the day. The second single from DJ Soko’s debut LP “Domino Effect” showcases three of Michigan’s finest emcees, one of its best producers in NAMELESS and DJ Soko’s scratches serve as the finishing move before the cover so the ref can count three. DJ Soko, Red Pill, L.A.Z., Noveliss & NAMELESS all pretty much transformed into the Rap version of Voltron then form Blazing Sword on “Soko Flow”.

DJ Soko feat. Guilty Simpson – Kyle Reese [Stream]

Guilty Simpson gets straight to the point. He doesn’t mince words nor does he waste bars. In someone else’s hands, Def Dee’s uptempo track might’ve made for a danceable song with a catchy hook but Guilty Simpson’s lyrics and patented delivery transform it into a short but sweet barrage of verbal carnage. “Kyle Reese” is made complete by DJ Soko’s scratched hooks that perfectly complement both the beat and the bars. Yet another banger brought to you by Left Of Center. “Domino Effect” due out August 21, 2015 through Left Of Center with manufacturing and distribution via Fat Beats.
