The Official Version HHV Exclusive Red Vinyl – A Hardcore Hip-Hop Beast That Hits Hard
Yo, let’s talk about The Official Version, the HHV exclusive red vinyl drop from DITC that ain’t messin’ around. This 2020 release is straight fire for any hardcore hip-hop head out there. Straight outta Canada via Fat Beats, this album slaps harder than most of what you’ve been spinning lately. Spike Joel on art direction? Yeah, he killed it too—clean but raw visuals to match the vibe.
Now, I’m not gonna sit here and break down every damn track like some professor tryna sound smart. Nah, we’re keepin’ it real. Let me hit you with two joints that stuck in my brain after multiple spins: “Drop It Heavy (Alternate Version)” and “Hey Love.”
First up, “Drop It Heavy.” Yo, this alternate version is just… next level aggression. The beat punches you right in the chest, no cap. It’s gritty as hell, and when those bars come through, you feel like you're in a street cypher where everyone's out to prove they're the illest. No fancy gimmicks here—just pure uncut energy that makes your speakers beg for mercy. You can tell DITC didn’t half-step on this one; they came to demolish.
Then there’s “Hey Love,” which flips the script a bit. At first listen, it feels smoother than the rest of the album, almost like a breather—but don’t get it twisted. This jam sneaks up on you with its clever wordplay and slick flow. By the time the hook hits again, you realize it’s deeper than you thought. Like, love ain’t always soft—it can slap back too. That duality had me rewinding more times than I care to admit.
Other tracks hold their own weight, no doubt. “Where Ya At (Remix)” brings heat, while “Ebonics (Alternate Version)” keeps the lyrical flex strong. But honestly, the whole project bangs. If you’re into hardcore hip-hop with zero chill, this is your fix.
But here’s the kicker—why’d they press this beast on red vinyl? Feels kinda bougie for such a rugged sound, right? Maybe that’s the point. Something so smooth carrying something so rough. Either way, respect to DITC for staying true to the essence while switching things up.
So yeah, cop this if you want music that’ll make your neighbors hate you—or secretly bump it behind closed doors. Just don’t sleep on this gem. And hey, if you do grab it, crank it loud enough to piss someone off. That’s how you know it’s workin’.
