Off the new Horse Shoe Gang EP, Opening Round (which is available now), here we have a type of track I really wasn’t expecting to hear from these boys. I’m used to hearing all of these guys tearing apart everyone else’s songs with their brazen delivery, but instead what we have is a very chilled vibe and something fans of more mainstream sounding hip hop could definitely get into. That’s not to say they’ve dumbed down their verses, quite the opposite in fact: we still have the witty punchlines and infectious flow these rappers all possess, it’s just now we have them doing it on an original song with very refined production (which sounds great with decent speakers/headphones!) and a very likeable hook. Top effort.

It’s been a while since we heard from them, and the HSG are back with a very enjoyable freestyle over Kanye West’s next single, Monster.
It’s always good to hear these guys on popular beats, and just like their older brother Crooked I they shred them pretty well, with this being another effort to add to the pile of top freestyle work from the COB crew. Not a great deal more to say here: click below to grab the track!

Murray: November 20, 2010
Crooked decides to end his Hip-Hop Weekly Reloaded series due to too many ‘swagger jackers’ jumping on the weekly series bandwagon. It’s a shame, but him and his brothers jump on Dre’s official Detox single to great effect. I know a certain writer over here will love the lyrical addition to the thumping baseline and driven piano chords Kush brings to the table. As with the Blue Fridays collection, expect a HHWR recap any time soon. #OKBye

Talented West Coast MC, Mykestro combines with Crooked I’s group of brothers, Horseshoe Gang. The result? A super lyrical affair.

I’m on holiday for the next two weeks so you’ll have to put up with the rest of the OTU team (unlucky). However…I have found time to collect together a silly amount of tracks over the past week or so for you guys to tide you over while I’m away.
So click on for a mainstream hip-hop fix from the likes of Joe Budden, Royce Da 5’9″, Bun-B, Young Jeezy, Nipsey Hussle, Wiley, Sean Kingston, Drake, Young Buck, Tinchy Stryder, Devlin, Giggs, Tinie Tempah, Jay-Z & Jim Jones.

That’s a whole lot of good rappers on one song. Cypher is superb, and as it’s title suggests, it has a very raw hip-hop feel to it. The beat is little more than drums and claps, which puts these boys out in the open to spit some nice rhymes.
For those of you who would pick this track up (and hence, have good hip-hop taste), I don’t think I need to hype this any more. This is set to feature on the HSG’s upcoming album, as well as Crooked I’s Mr. Pig Face Weapon Waist EP.

You should know these guys from the freestyle I put up a little while back over Jay-Z’s On To The Next One (which I now prefer to the original). I rate them very, very highly and I’ve been sitting on their material for a while. It’s so refreshing to hear four good rappers just going for it, and they go hard every single time. They were releasing weekly freestyles/remixes which were all superb, and you can pick up the best of the bunch after the click.
Maybe a slightly lazy comparison, but the next Slaughterhouse? They’ve certainly got the ability.

For those of you who don’t know, Horse Shoe Gang are actually Crooked I’s younger brothers. They’ve been dropping freestyles regularly, and here’s a great one over Jay-Z/Swizz Beatz’s On To The Next One. I absolutely love this beat, and these guys do a great job on it.
