Los Angeles clothing imprint Real Bad Man has been steadily releasing their On High Alert EP series throughout the year, tapping some of the most revered hip-hop veterans of recent memory and pairing them with rising rappers for truly unique and cohesive offerings. After dropping On High Alert, Volume 1 back in February and On High Alert, Volume 2 back in May, the third installment is finally available to stream today. On High Alert, Volume 3 spans six songs and just under 20 minutes, enlisting past collaborators like Boldy James and Pink Siifu, as well as Meyhem Lauren, Kool Kieth, Kool G Rap and Flee Lord. The project is short but undeniably sweet with instrumentals that flawlessly meld old school boom-bap sensibilities with hypnotic and semi-psychedelic touches. When paired with the other two installments, Real Bad Man creates an insular sonic world that taps into hip-hop history and experimentation. All are well worth your listening time. - via HypeBeast.
