L.A. "The L.A. Riots: Mental Fatality" Produced by Hippie Sabotage
"The L.A. Riots: Mental Fatality is about conflict. Life f*cked me up and now I have this massive project in which I attempt to reveal my heart beating up my mind, or my mind beating up my heart, throughout the album in such a way you can hear me blacking in and out." - L.A.
I was late to work downloading this joint at 12:45 this morning. But after a few singles and some shared leaks from L.A., I needed to hear the final product and it couldn't wait until I got off at 9:30am. So, I bit the bullet and took the 10 minute late L. It was worth it. L.A.'s sound really comes alive on her new project, that has seen its fair share of delays. It was definitely worth the wait.
Her previous project, The Presentation (which was also her debut), was more of a mixtape with a strong influence by Kanye West beats. The L.A. Riots: Mental Fatality is more of an album, produced entirely by the California based Hippie Sabotage, with an incredible story and sound.
A solid listen from beginning to end. As L.A. said, she poured her heart into this one. I can't say it enough, take notice. L.A. is alive, and she's arrived. Chea!

What I'm Watching: Frank Ocean "Thinking About You"
I love when people make untypical videos. Frank Ocean recently dropped this video for "Thinking About You" (and I'm a bit confused about this song and the whole Bridget Kelly situation). However, I love this video. I'm not exactly sure what's going on but I love the whole Native American storyline.

@Royceda59, Kid Vicious, Duece Bug & BC Connect at Toad's Place (Pics + Vid)
Toad's Place on Friday, September 9th got to host Royce Da 5' 9", one of Hip-Hop's illest MCs. But he wasn't alone. Kid Vicious came through with him to help rile the crowd up and also perform a few solo tracks himself. The night began with a Full Blast of dope music by cats like BC Connect, and Duece Bug who never performs without Connecticut's Illest Hypeman, Chuck Nickels aka Itz Urboi! Those in attendance got to witness what a really good Hip-Hop show should feel like, look like and sound like from beginning to end.
Though Toad's wasn't packed to the back of the walls, at times, it sounded like it was. Crowd participation was at a level that those representing Full Blast is known to achieve. Some time during the performance, the Full Blast crew paid respect to one of their fallen soldiers who recently lost his life, hence the "Flick My Bick / R.I.P. Lighta" shirts the cats were rocking.
By the time Royce Da 5' 9" and Kid Vicious came out, it seemed like all they had to do was perform. All eyes were on them, as well as their ears. Hands were up and lyrics were being recited at the top of their lungs. I was able to get a few shots in so take a look. Dopeness.
