I am proud to bring you a very creative week of video selections. I highly suggest, almost to the point of demanding, you sit back and take in this week's picks. I mean each one is worth watching. Just let your eyes smile and embrace the creativity of Rhymefest, Wax, Block McCloud, Megaran, Lost Perception, and Prophetic. Again hit me at readbeanpie@gmail.com to have your video considered. Enjoy!
The good folks over at Uncommon Records offer up some new music, "Little Brother", the new single from Eleven produced by Nasa. The single contains a few bonuses, including the Adam Warlock featured "Apollo 11." Remember maxi-singles? Ha! Cuts on all three tracks from Shortrock. Enjoy. And if you dig it, support independent music and buy it.
e.d.g.e. is back with another track. This time using Jim Jone's "G's Up" track produced by Pete Rock to offer up a freeverse. Enjoy. And All Flow Everything coming soon. Chea!
I heard this track early this morning. It's dope. I've posted up a few of SonReal's videos and ahead of his new project Where's Waldo, he releases the Classified produced track "Blast Off". High energy. Dope rhymes. Hit play and enjoy. Look out for my interview with SonReal Monday on RefinedHype.
Top $ Raz is the Far Rock Queens emcee who made a splash with his project Spilled Milk and is set to release his follow up, The New Flesh, February 22. His new project is packed with some great production, cool features and dope rhymes.
Raz is fresh.
Anyway, this week he decided to take the challenge. Check out how he answered five random questions after the jump.
Many people already know the story behind this DJ Premier beat. I even rehashed it a few weeks back when the homie e.d.g.e. jumped on the beat. Anyway, it's a joint that Kanye passed on because it didn't fit the new concept when he changed the direction of his album. Like I mentioned, Canadian emcee e.d.g.e. jumped on the beat putting out Letter to the Editor and now another favorite, Chuuwee, delivers JJ Evans. I'm really happy that two dope emcees that I respect are the ones I've heard rhyme over this Premier beat. Chuuwee is an emcee you definitely have to keep an eye out for. Hit play and enjoy the latest from Chuuwee. Chea!
I remember the first time I heard NoNeedz. He hit us with a track called "Hot Water." It's been a while since we posted any of his music. But he's back with a new video and new project. Check out the video above and preview the album here. If you dig it, support independent music and buy it.
This new The Hollowz has been sitting on my desktop for a few days. I finally had the opportunity to dig into Dreams Of Sex And Flying. Pretty dope project from the crew that delivered The Premonition EP last year. The Hollowz are no strangers to the blog, having been featured in our Milwaukee Journey to Hip-Hop series and on our Milwaukee's Best compilation. The new project has some pretty fresh production and some dope rhymes, that provide for some very personal tracks with great story lines. You can preview the project below. If you dig it, support independent music and buy it. Chea!
