What I'm Watching ... The Roots "The Fire" featuring John Legend

The Roots LP, How I Got Over, is in stores now. Video directed by Rik Cordero.

"The Fire" chronicles a post-apocalyptic death march set in 1945 during the final stages of World War II in Europe. After a cataclysmic event renders the war futile, a paramilitary splinter group -- led by a Kurtz-like figure known as The Commodore -- forces the transfer of young men who will be used as labor...and food. The last survivor of the march receives a mysterious White Box which holds the key to survival. - Rik

Check It ... Custom remix's a Humpasaur Jones track.

Just got the first lunatic-quality remix in for a contest we're running and I wanted to shoot it your way. Here's a streaming copy:
http://humpjones.bandcamp.com/track/custom-remix

The producer behind that is Custom, an Illinois native who's the latest addition to the World Around roster. The next Humpasaur Jones EP, "Breakup Music" is still in process and technically speaking, forever away, which should add up to 2-3 months, who knows. I think I'm just going to keep it moving with a lot of single tracks for the rest of the summer.

Shoutout to Justin Boland for hitting us up with this track.

What I'm Listening to ... Noodle - "Ride Wit Me" (@itsanooday)

Caught Noodle the Innocent Child at the Toast N' Flow 2 in Danbury, CT. Had a flow that grabbed my attention. Definitely digging this. He performed Ride Wit Me, and it had a bounce type vibe with a flow to match. I suggest you check it out. The single and the remixes are free. He also has a full album for under $10. If you like it, you know what to do. Check it!

Behind every album you buy there is an artist that was signed to make that album.. with a budget.. a team to work with, and people to market it for them, but that was not always the case!

This is the story of talented artists that are currently struggling to make that dream ... a reality!

Soon to come the story of a talented unsigned artist by the name of Man-u-ill
