The visual accompanying “Dead Presidents” may be smooth, but Lauren Declasse’s lyrical attack on the track is vicious. The clip takes us into the day in the life of a dude and his rider, spending quality time by catching a lick, picking up a stash and hitting a get together.

Declasse’s wordplay and speedy flow is relentless throughout, giving the listener only a quick reprieve during the buttery chorus. “Dead Presidents” seems to have hit the holy grail of hip-hop, by displaying lyrical capabilities next to a track you’ll want to have blasting in the V. Providing he keeps to his formula, Declasse will be getting “Dead Presidents” in cities all over.

Keep an eye out for the 19 year-old Brooklyn dweller as his career in hip-hop is looking very promising!

]]> Rapsody Jay Electronica Phonte Jedi CoddeRapsody keeps the high-profile collaborations coming, with this track easily boasting the most alluring names. Phonte handles the opening verse, using 9th Wonder‘s epic stomp-clap production as an opportunity to get on his boastful, punchline shit–“They never caught wind, still think that they could sail / Against my Sea World flow, I wish you niggas well [whale].” Rapsody then takes center stage, whispering before her verse that, “There is no emotion. There is peace. Jedi. ‘Til the day I die,” and then using her opening bars to quote Jay Electronica by misquoting Jay Z. Rapsody repeats the homage again in the second half of her verse, giving way to a sample of a few different bars from Jay Elect‘s “Exhibit A”–“It’s the most poetical, Nat King unforgettable / Clarence 13X Allah’s rhapsody from Bellevue,” setting the tone for yet another stunning whirlwind of voodoo rhymes from the Candy Man himself. Jay Elect kills the last verse, rounding out a seriously impressive collaboration of titans.
