What I'm Watching: Jinesis "Critics" feat. Fresh Daily

Critics ft. Fresh Daily from Jinesis on Vimeo.

New visuals from the Jinesis produced Otisis, the A-Side Remixes.

The Jinesis produced Fresh Daily song "Critics" from Jinesis's latest endeavor, "Otisis, the A-Side Remixes" gets an animated treatment for this short but concise banger. Relying on minimalism used in everyday commercial art and signage, the message is punctuated by highlighting the lyrics in sometime the most literal of ways. Animation by Marc Steinberg.

MacGuyver - "Leo Jackson"

Oh yes! This guy seems to never put out unsatisfactory music. Though borrowing production from J. Cole, MacGuyver leaves his own lyrically identity all over "Leo Jackson".

MacGuyver is back with heartfelt verses layed over J. Cole's "Kenny Lofton" beat. Prepping the world for his first official project "ImMaculate" Macguyver is just giving the world a taste of his worldplay and charisma.

Allen Poe - "Gina" ft Basement Up & Von Pea (produced by Nemo Achida)

Finally playing a little catch up on some music with this smooth, summer feeling, upbeat joint by the homie Allen Poe (1/3 of KY's MC trio Basement Up). With Von Pea of Tanya Morgan assisting on the mic, "Gina", produced by Nemo Achida, comes as Allen's first single off his upcoming LP "Pocket Full of Ohms" set to release Fall 2013. As Allen Poe puts it, "It is a comedic recounting of the frustrations of high school nerds misfiring with the ladies." Check it.

What I'm Watching: 5:AM - "Let Up"

This joint directed by Edwin Escobar is clever. Track is produced by Willis which seems to go hand in hand with the direction of the video but 5:AM is the guy that seems to bring it all together with the flows. This track bangs. I dig it.

Talib Kweli - "5am In Brooklyn", "Rocket Ships" feat. Busta Rhymes (Prod. by RZA), and "Fine China"

"Y'all niggas soft, B. Y'all niggas soft, B. You spoiled. Used to be you had to go look for your Hip-Hop. Now you're served it on a silver fucking platter." Talib definitely sounds like a man that needed to get shit off his chest. One of my favorite emcees. I can NOT wait for this new album that's out in days. May 7th!
