What I'm Watching ... Big Sean "Too Fake" (Feat. Chiddy Bang)

Big Sean - Too Fake (Ft. Chiddy Bang) from illRoots.com on Vimeo.

Pretty fresh vid from Big Sean x Chiddy Bang. Check the back story below and enjoy the vid above. Shouts to illRoots.com. Chea!

We were out in Toledo a couple weeks back catching Big Sean, Dom Kennedy and Chip Tha Ripper perform. While there, we talked with Sean about linking up to shoot a couple videos. When he came to Chicago a bit later, the homies Chiddy Bang were also around for a separate gig. We got the two acts together and threw them on a rooftop to shoot this visual for their Finally Famous 3 collaboration ‘Too Fake’.

What I'm Watching ... A Day in... L.A. feat @UCanCallMeLA

A Day in... L.A. from slick jackson on Vimeo.

It was this track off of The Phone Tap(e) mixtape that had me reaching out to ScienZe to find out who it was featured on the track. I later found out her name was L.A.. This was my first encounter with her sound and I've been checking for her ever since. She's dope. She's got a project on the way, The Presentation, but in the meantime enjoy A Day in... L.A, shot by Slick Jackson.

Why I’m Running For City Council By @Rhymefest

All politics is local and if we are to improve our social and economic ills, we have to return to the “village” concept.

Rhymefest seems deeply committed to running for Alderman in Chicago and being a part of creating change, opportunity and solutions. I salute him and his efforts. Check out his words on why he's running, after the jump.

INTERVIEW: @VelvSomersault x @TheRealEternia at Southpaw

Interview w/ Eternia @ Southpaw from Velv Somersault on Vimeo.

If you've been following the blog long enough, you already know I think Eternia is dope. I've also been a long time follower of Velv Somersault on twitter. The two got together at Southpaw for a fresh interview. Enjoy.

Check out this interview with Eternia as we talked about her influences, recent album, writing & what she’ll be working on next. This was the first night of Joell Ortiz's YAOWA Mixtape Tour and also my first time seeing her perform and she ripped the mic and the stage apart. Eternia is an amazing live performer, something like L. Boogie, seriously. She has a LIVE set, a lot of energy and the woman is hip hop as hell. She performed some tracks from her new album, At Last with MoSS, released on Fat Beats Records over the summer. Her sister, Jessica Kaya which is featured on the project performed with Eternia and also did an awesome cover for J. Cole & Miguel’s “All I Want Is You”. Eternia performed “Foul Child” and the crowd went crazy, she was definitely a crowd favorite for the night. Make sure you check out her album!!!

What I'm Watching ... Rob Roy “Carmencita”

Rob Roy is dope as shit. His King Warrior Magician Lover project is one of my favorite albums in the last year. The dude is incredibly talented and his sound is fresh. Check out the visuals for "Carmencita" which much like his "Fur In My Cap" vid, are outside the box. If you haven't heard of Rob Roy before, it's time you get familiar. Enjoy.

Check It ... Kitchen Khemistry "Starving Artist" x "Off Limits"

It's definitely a new sound from the good folks over at Uncommon records. Dope nonetheless. Check two fresh cuts from the upcoming Kitchen Khemistry release on Uncommon records, due to drop November 2. You're welcome.

Kitchen Khemistry is a voluntary, rogue, outer body experience.  What KK does is find hidden lights in the universe and translates these light waves into sound. Therefore, Kitchen Khemistry is a translator of light waves. What you hear is what you don't see!

What does that sound like? It sounds like a 2010 underground rap version of "Planet Rock". It sounds like nothing else that Uncommon Records has ever released. You may actually end up dancing to "Transit" as well as head nodding to it.

This is the shuttle, the subway, the life. This is space, this is street, this is real.
