What I'm Watching ... Melissa Czarnik "Love Train"


Melissa Czarnik "Love Train" from Hyperdrive Motivator Productions on Vimeo.


Melissa Czarnik returns with "Love Train" produced by Eric Mire, in this self directed video. "Love Train" is one of my favorite tracks on Czarnik's Raspberry Jesus, which was released last year. I definitely dig the old school black and white feel of the video. Enjoy.

What I'm Watching ... Jesse Abraham "Spiderman on Vitamins"



I posted the track yesterday and now I bring you the Noisemaker Media directed video for Jesse Abraham's "Spiderman On Vitamins", produced by Spills and off the upcoming One Day ep due to drop in March. Yeah, I fuks with this video. The energy of the video definitely matches that of the high paced track. Shouts to Warren Britt, Homeboy Sandman, YC the Cynic and others with the cameos. Good work Jesse! Chea!

Check It ... Carlitta Durand "HisStory"


Check out the new track from singer and songwriter Carlitta Durand. Written and recorded back in 2009, the track has a deeper and more personal meaning for Durand. But as she tweeted, "it also fits well with black history month and an encouraging song for black men. Hopefully someone can relate." Enjoy.

What I'm Watching ... The Cranberry Show "Time Of Day"



The Cranberry Show (Arcane and Young Focus) are some pretty funny guys. As I once wrote, their sound is a fusion of fun tracks and high energy, with a comical approach. You get that same type of energy on their latest project, Regular Ass N*ggas. I've said in the past that while TCS will appeal mostly to a younger audience, not all older heads will write them off. "Time Of Day" is a prime example of a track that both audiences will vibe to. These fellas don't take themselves too seriously but they deliver. And while lyrically they won't blow you away, they have some great punchlines. I dig most of the music these young cats put out. So, check out the video up top and you can download Regular Ass N*ggas below. Enjoy.
