Jesse Abraham: I Am Water (Album Trailer)

I always say this about trailers but honestly, I don't traditionally fuck with them. The ones I do fuck with are the ones that really make me curious about the project or video. Jesse Abraham does that with his trailer to his upcoming album, I Am Water. I'm intrigued by the 55 second snapshot. Check the trailer and look out for the project in the fall.

Motel Eola "We Three Kings"

I keep telling folks to keep an eye on this kid. The 19-year-old South East London producer Motel Eola drops another solid instrumental in We Three Kings. Dude decided to sample the Ella Fitzgerald Christmas themed classic and made it into a banger. This cut didn't make his debut Kids Looking for Gold but he wanted to share regardless. Look for his instrumental project in September, in the meantime, enjoy this joint. Chea!

What I'm Watching: Cavalier "Activated"

Cavalier is that dude. I peeped this vid a few days back. Dope. Finally getting the chance to post. Enjoy. Chea!

Rocksmith presents "Activated" featuring Brooklyn based, globetrotting new comer, Cavalier. Produced by Spills, this world music infused anthem is the first up from the maxi single "New Aeon". "Activated" was filmed in Kolkata, India, the old British capital highlighting the life, sights and sounds of the beautiful people in Lansdowne. The self proclaimed "2012 Melle Mel" entices us to move ourselves right along into the "New Aeon" with this upbeat banger.
