Confronted by the devil himself, and stay strong You think you can take the King, now meet Kong Strong as the base of a mountain, there’s no counting How many MC’s, have sprung from our fountain
From the group that needs no introduction, this 2005 track “Biochemical Equation” comes off one of Wu Tang’s massive collaborative efforts, Wu Tang Meets The Indie Culture. This song in particular features verses from both RZA and indie legend MF Doom so there’s plenty of clever wordplay here. RZA really is a five tool player as a producer, rapper, and an actor with dozens of acting credits to his name, including a season on the wildly underrated Californication. Just a quick quarantine binge recommendation if you’re looking for a new show.
Now add this track to your iPod shuffle or just follow the #RushHourRap playlist on Spotify!
Another day of #RushHourRap bringing you fresh tracks that you may or may not have heard before, but this is one you need to add to your rotation. Produced by Saud, featuring Shiloh Meets World and King Los, “Woman” is a slick, up tempo bass heavy track that just feels like a speeding down the highway kind of jam. So check it out or you can follow The 300s #RushHourRap playlist on Spotify below and we’ll curate it for you.
I can hear the voices in my mind when I rhyme Give it up, you’re out of time Never even had a prime Like the Preemo never linked up with 5’9″ Bitch, I’m back like the muscles surrounding my vertebrae Okay, fuck what you gotta say I keep it going, already know when I’m flowing For the listener, you’re kind of like a therapist Or rather Cole in 2005, flowing like Canibus That throwback shit, yeah, that throwback shit Fuck what you heard, my catalog, it ain’t got no wack shit ‘Cause I’m a gladiator in the Colosseum, everybody wanna be him ‘Til they feel like they can’t be him, then they wanna see him lose Wrote this poem in navy, that’s what I call singing the blues Word to Dot D, my family got me, no carbon copy Life can hit you harder than Drago But if I roll with the punches when it’s rocky, don’t ever stop me
Logic is a frequent feature of #RushHourRap and for good reason. I feel like a lot of people only hear the few songs of his that really went mainstream like “1-800,” “Sucker for Pain,” “Every Day,” etc. which are all good songs, but don’t show Logic’s real lyrical prowess. This track from his most recent album No Pressure that dropped earlier this year came on my Spotify this morning and as a 5+ minute song it can definitely get lost in the shuffle, but my goodness the wordplay here is elite. I couldn’t even pick just a couple of bars to point out, which is why I listed 17 lines above. The amount of double entendres, deep cut rap references, and slick wordplay is unreal in a 30 second span.
I don’t know why, but the visuals for this song are only for a couple of the verses, which is why the below video is not even two minutes long.
So give this a spin, then go listen to the rest of Bobby’s catalogue, and then pour one out because according to him No Pressure was his final album (for now). Logic’s musical career is to be continued…
Introducing the official #RushHourRap playlist curated by The 300s. Dozens of songs compiled from the past 30 years so you can take my obscure music recommendations with you anywhere. Featuring everyone from household names like Eminem and Kanye to lesser known artists, rappers you need to know, and young guys on the come up.
Some of the deeper cuts of #RushHourRap unfortunately did not make the list because Spotify doesn’t exactly have a plethora of obscure mixtapes. So that means you’ll still need to track down hidden gems like Switch by Lupe Fiasco on YouTube.
But if you’re a fan of our morning rap recommendations then make sure you save and share this playlist because it’s a living breathing entity that I’ll be adding to all the time.
Okay soo this isn’t actually a rap album, but as the curator of #RushHourRap it’s my duty to tell you that a pretty well known rapper has pivoted and dropped one of the best punk albums I’ve heard in a long, long time. This is wildly impressive from a rapper that is known by most people as the guy that picked a fight with and got a fiery diss track response from Eminem.
While 2020 continues to be one of the shittiest years on record, MGK is riding a hot streak like no other. Pairing up with arguably the best drummer on the planet in Travis Barker he dropped a legit album in an entirely different genre, performed at the VMAs, oh and he landed Megan Fox too.
Not a bad year for Colson Baker.
You’ve probably at least heard about the music video for “bloody valentine” because it essentially announced his relationship with Megan Fox, who was still married to Brian Austin Green at the time.
But the entire album is awesome and angsty in a way that all your favorite CDs from high school were. I wouldn’t be shocked to hear a few of these on the Top 100 whether it’s concert for aliens, forget me too (ft. Halsey), all i know (ft. Trippie Redd), my ex’s best friend (ft. Blackbear). Point is, the album bangs. Check it out below.

So I’m just minding my own business listening to some good old fashioned Lupe Fiasco while working and I see this ad on Spotify. Bhad Bhabie?
Hold on a second, isn’t that the Cash Me Outside girl? Yep, that would be one Danielle Bregoli, who became famous after basically telling Dr. Phil to go fuck himself.
Well, apparently she has a rap album now. And I know this won’t be a popular opinion, but I listened to it and it is……FIRE. Now is making a 14-year-old white girl a street rapper the greatest idea? Maybe not, but what do I know I don’t have any kids. All I know is I am fully on board with these bangers.
