Hard Day IV

Tuesday is, in my opinion, the hardest day of the work week: you're no longer energized from the weekend like you were on Monday, you aren't clearing the hump like on Wednesday, and the approach of the weekend isn't tangible like it is on Thursday and Friday. Tuesdays, thus, are fucking hard. And so, in commemoration of surviving Tuesday, every Tuesday I will post something that is hard. I would explain what I mean by hard, but I'm tired and I think that these videos will speak for themselves. Remember: THIS DAY IS WORTH LIVING.

Freddy Cricien-"Y Que?"

Hardcore artists doing rap can end badly; see Rick Ta Life. However, I will admit that I was pleasantly surprised by Freddy Cricien's rap output. His flow is good, his command of Spanish is exceptional considering that it's not his first language, and most of all, the song has a catchy beat to it that makes it quite infectuous. It's good when artists can shift genres so seamlessly; obviously, Madball should continue to be Cricien's main concern, but this is an avenue I wouldn't mind him exploring more of. And, of course, seeing as how it comes from the mastermind of Madball and one of the founders of DMS, it's fucking HARD.

Day Three: Гарри Топор - "Каин"

Okay, so today was really not that hard for me, as I am currently on vacation.  That said, I am sure it was hard for all of you wingnuts who have to work in the brutal-ass climate change apocalypse heat that is now engorging the U.S., so we continue with the series regardless.  As I am currently in Eastern Europe, here's some stangry Russian rap from a guy who sounds very angry about something I cannot understand, as I don't speak Russian.  He will probably grow up to either shoot Krokodil or get shot by the Mafiya.  Maybe he'll make a sequel to "3 Guys 1 Hammer."  Either way, this is unpleasant rap from a region whose rap doesn't get enough love, and, as always, it's fucking HARD.
