Devine Carama's Thoughts:
"I wanted to kind of put rappers on notice with this jawn. My first 2 singles had more of a musical purpose and direction, but I know my core fan base enjoys it when I just RAP. So this record is for them to let them know there will be plenty of that on the album as well. It's also frustrating hearing rappers get older and/or lazy and start falling out of the rhyme pocket. I just feel staying in pocket is a huge element of rhyming. So I tried different flows within the pocket."
"She Don't" off his latest album, Gateway to Greatness/ Constellations. The track, originally released last year, reunites P.SO with his AOK Collective fam 8thW1 over a jazzy hip hop beat produced by KO Beatz. Illustrated and directed by Anwar Morse, "She Don't" is the perfect video accompaniment to this awesome track. For more amazing animation, check out P.SO and Anwar's Gateway To Greatness: The Comic!
DC's Holy Trinity is back with their first visuals from the new album "March On Washington." yU, Oddisee & Uptown XO enlist director Jay Brown for the visual narrative on "First Step." Starting with XO we see the DC emcee light up the opening verse putting spirit back in the music before passing the torch on to his brethren. yU then spits cold bars with the linguistic dexterity of a seasoned veteran, all the while casually grinding an African chew stick. Meanwhile, the video lays out the metaphor of three emcees on separate paths coming together to form one group. In the last scene the track's producer and final lyricist, Oddisee, takes the helm of his ship: "Man, it's just the way it go, if I want it, say it so." Get ready for the new album coming October 14th.
Jazz Spastiks' latest single Dumb! is brought to life by sock puppets in this brand new head nodding video. The beats remain tough even though the musical equipment is made from multicoloured felt!

"This goes to MCs who didn't hop in and out of 'rap'. Holding Hip-Hop in a higher regard, allowed them to ride out the highs and lows of creating, respecting it as a craft helped them to build something from very little." - Allen Poe
