Ringing in the New Year, Maryland MC Substantial teams with Mello Music Group producer and fellow DMV native Oddisee for the first official single off Substantial's upcoming album, The Past Is Always Present In The Future. Made In Maryland is Substantial's greatest ode to his home state since his debut solo single in 2000, Home Sweet Home, produced by the late japanese producer DJ Deckstream. The new single also features fellow Marylanders and frequent collaborators: vocalist, Steph the Sapphic Songstress and DJ Jav adding cuts utilizing vocals Joe.D.

Even if you're not from Maryland as QN5 Music's Tonedeff stated after hearing the song, "S#!t so hard, I'm about to move there!" So pack your bags and take a ride with us through the home of Tubman.

Pre-orders for The Past Is Always Present In The Future are available now via iTunes and Bandcamp and will be released digitally on January 6, 2017. Compact Discs ship on January 13, 2017 and cassettes and vinyl will be announced at a later date.

South Carolina producer/emcee Amiri has stayed on the low this year since the release of The New Negative last January. But before we head into the New Year, Amiri shares his thoughts on this past year with a new track simply entitle "2016".

While Amiri is currently working on his upcoming untitled project, you can grab his new song now for free download. Happy New Year from everyone here at HiPNOTT Records!

HiPNOTT Record Artist, Intelligenz goes on tour with the greatest story teller himself, Slick Rick for his first “Home Coming Tour” in the United Kingdom and drops her new single “Welcome To The Grind”. The iconic and London born legend, fresh off his naturalized U.S. citizenship victory, captivated audiences with his highly anticipated tour. Touching five cities in the U.K. including Manchester, London, Bristol, Birmingham, Dublin Ireland and ending in Brighton he left listeners in tears, overwhelmed and fulfilled.

Intelligenz is the first emcee that just so happened to be female, going on tour with “The Ruler”. A Chicago native, now residing in the DMV area, she has been humbly hitting stages and getting cosigned by the veterans of Hip-hop for some time now. Previously opening for MC Lyte, Rakim, Rah Digga, Masta Ace, Lord Finesse and many more, the female wordsmith has been making her rounds in the industry. While on tour in the UK, Intelligenz’ connection with the audience was embraced and she was rendered a healthy Round of Applause. So much, she was invited to kick off the Redman, Method Man and De La Soul show in Paris, debuting her new single, “Welcome To The Grind”.

Intelligenz has been the hidden diamond in the rough for quite a while though she won MC Lyte’s “Next Top Female MC” competition. Competing against female emcees from all over the country in a cypher style arena, Intelligenz walked away with the crown. This new single, "Welcome To The Grind", touches on her journey of trying to break through the glass ceiling created for female emcees with hopes of reigniting the passion of lyrical content being spotlighted for female lyricists. Get to know this gem breaking barriers for what females in Hip-Hop should sound like, look like, speak like and think like – she is the change many have craved.
