New Video: Love Hip-Hop

Today the video for Love Hip-Hop was released! The video features footage from Amsterdam to Africa and displays all five elements of Hip-Hop culture. 

If you're new to the culture let me break down the elements. 1. Knowledge - As in Knowledge of self, the culture, and the world around you. 2. MCing - Master of Ceremonies, mean having the ability to rock  (entertain) a "LIVE" audience. 3. DJing - Spinning records that rock a crowd. 4. Bboying - Also known as Breakin or Breakdance. 5. Graffiti - Using Aerosol cans, to make murals, letters, and other imagery on public property.  

This project took awhile because shooting footage of all the elements while trying to meet a deadline was difficult. For indie video makers its important to utilize all the free resources available like Beachfront B-Roll, Vimeo and VideoBlocks for stock footage. I'm pleased with the end result ...and I hope u are too. Check out the video below. If u like what u see tell a friend to tell a friend.  

New York Spit

This song is a tribute to New York City, the birth place of Hip-Hop. The NY style, slang, and culture still influences European artists to pick up a mic. The title "New York Spit," describes the east coast style of slang.  

Dollarmentary and I talk about our experiences in the Big Apple and all the artists that inspired us. The song will be released as a single in March, and will be available for download at all major digital retailers.

Winter Tunes

Winter is cold...and the music is too. I've been working over time in the studio and making videos for 2014.

Below are some winter tunes from myself and a few new comers. First, there's my motion graphics video for the song I did with Kool G. Rap called "Controllin Tha Game".

Then, there's SACE better known as Southeast Slim from the DC Metro area. He's been producing  and repping DC for over a decade but has yet to achieve national recognition. Recently he released a ventilation track (telling all the details) against MMG artist Wale.The two were close friends before Wale was signed, but after joining MMG things changed. 

Last are videos by ASAP Nast of the ASAP Mob, and T-Pain. The ASAP joint features Method Man and is fiya. T-Pain is more of an R&B guy but occasionally spits some flames. His song "Work" has that old school braggadocious feel, with new school sounds.      

Check out the tunes...

New Video Exclusive

Hello Readers, 

Like the title says this is a new video exclusive (within the first few minutes of being uploaded) release of my new video "Wanna Sound Like Me". 

The song is off Tha Audio Bully album coming later this year. The video is fast paced visuals that follow the lyrics and provide a 3D experience to the song. The song is lyrical and melodic, so the video is meant to give images to what the rhymes are saying. I believe in making a fan a day, cuz it helps the music reach new ears. Check out the video and if you like it, forward it to a friend.

Fall Back

Seasons change but most people stay the same. That's a line from one of my new songs. It's a layman's description of people who get caught-up in repeating the same cycles but expecting their life to change. Today is my birthday ...and I feel the change. Not older but definitely a little wiser.

When the seasons change we either "spring forward" with daylight savings by adding an hour or we "fall back" by turning the clocks back one hour.  In Holland the fall season is definitely here. The temperature has dropped steadily since mid-August. Most people went from wearing shorts and t-shirts to sweaters and coats almost overnight. Its as different as night and day.

To assist with this chilling transition I've posted a mix of new and popular music. Below are tunes from Twista, Lupe Fiasco, Kirko Bangs, Killer Mike, GhostWridah, and 38 Spesh. Enjoy. 

Novicane Video Release

What's Poppin People, 

The wait is over! Here is my new video "Novicane" off Tha Audio Bully album. The theme of the clip is showing the contrast between light and dark obsession. 

My new album is on the way and plans are already being made for the clip to "Speaking Chinese." Once the track is re-recorded and mixed, the video is on. It's going to be sunshine, beaches and beautiful women.

Watch the clip below, leave a comment and tell a friend to tell a friend. Thanks for the support.

2012 Tunes

A new year is here! The month is going so fast, I gotta ride lightening bolts to keep up. 

I've been in the studio non-stop working on music for the new album. Tha Audio Bully project is halfway done, featuring production from around the globe. In between working on music and preparing for Midem at the end of the month, I've been making videos.  

In the spirit of the giving season I offer you the video for my song "Grimey" along with new 2012 tunes from Sam Scarfo, Sticky Fingaz, and Metro P featuring the Jacka.
