With our Top 8 Singles list, we present the top 8 singles based on our staff picks.

This week our staff has chosen another 8 from May 6 – May 12. This week’s list is led by singles from Forever M.C., 38 Spesh & Kool G Rap and Mike Smiff.

 

Magestik Legend – DetroitMental

With just a week before the release of Magestik Legend‘s forthcoming solo album, All This Time, the emcee/producer shares the project’s hard-hitting second single, “Detroit Mental.”  The song is an impassioned ode to his hometown, the city that has arguably birthed some of hip hop’s best music.

Chavis Chandler ft. Royce da 5’9” – Hell & Back

Detroit’s Chavis Chandler has been pushing uphill for years. Things are soon to level out for him. Chavis appeared on the PRhyme 2 album (he appeared with Royce on “Everyday Struggle”) and on Royce’s Book Of Ryan album (he appears on “First Of The Month”—the album’s closing track which also features T-Pain).

Jamal Gasol – Funky Piano (Freestyle)

Jamal Gasol has appeared on SpitFireHipHop when he teamed up with Dray Yard. Today he makes his debut with this incredible freestyle title ‘Funky Piano‘. The story telling and wordplay displayed by the Niagra Falls, NY artist is incredible. We look forward to more from Jamal Gasol as he moves forward.
