Pretty self explanatory…the homies Tunji, Kam Moye, Jern Eye, and Evangillest rocking rhymes over live production from Keelay and Cook. Shout to GregTheDude on the visuals!
The homey Grynch came through Sound Session this week to talk about his new Chemistry EP, which just dropped today.

Seattle folks: you need to come out to the release party on Sunday at Nectar too. Peep the ill lineup:
I look forward to the day when Toby and Tunji are rich and famous so I can brag to people that I used to DJ for ‘em when we were in college. These guys played such an important part in the development of “DJ Hyphen” (yes! first 3rd person reference on the blog ftw!) that it means a lot to finally see their first music video released to the public. This is a great day…
Shout to everyone involved in this track (Oren Yorel and Paul Dateh killed it) and video (directed by rising star Donlee Brussel). Go vote right now to help Inverse win MTVu’s Freshmen video contest this week and get it added to MTV – http://www.mtvu.com/music/the-freshmen/nominees-062909/
You can vote as many times as you’d like, so get on your grind people! Sidenote, Inverse’s excellent So Far (The Collection) project will be re-released through QN5 Music on July 6th…you’ll need to cop that too.
I’m always down to check out some new talent, especially when it’s co-signed by some folks I respect. Peep this new tape from J. Lately, featuring appearances by our fellow 5-C’er, Tunji, along with Co$$ and Bambu. I’m about half way through and I’m impressed with J’s flow and wordplay so far. The beats are ill too…

Tunji and Toby linked up with Yours Truly and GregTheDude for a Los Angeles edition of the Keys 2 The City series:
Inverse gives you an insider’s tour of the finer restaurants that populate the City of Angels such as Tito’s Tacos and IN-N-OUT Burger, all while shedding some light on their backstory. As Los Angeles brims with the talented new voices it’s inspired, Inverse takes the lead and treats us to a set of fresh acapellas. If you like what you hear, cop the So True EP on iTunes or Amazon and support independent artists.
Amen. Sidenote, I think I was with them after a late night studio session when we hit that Taco joint back in our college days. Might not have been the same one, but either way, ahhh…the good ol’ days.
Notice I didn’t call it a ‘mixtape’ hahah. Outasight is a really talented artist coming out of NYC and he just teamed up with 6th Sense and Mick Boogie to drop this prequel before his official album is released. There are all sorts of talented folks making appearances on this (Tunji, Cook Classics, Donny Goines, Oddisee, etc.), so you should already know.
Download here.
Hahaha, Tunj is hilarious. I remember GregTheDude shot me this video along with the earlier clip of Tunj freestyling with Cook about the New Classics mixtape the night he did ‘em. While the first free was dope, I was sad this one didn’t get released too…until now.
If you haven’t downloaded the mixtape, stop sleeping!
GregTheDude gave me a sneak peak of this last night…pause…but now it’s officially ready for the world to see. Greg + Tunji + Cook = Claremont Colleges talent at its finest, but y’all don’t know about that.
What you do know, however, is that it’s becoming quite evident that Tunj is a beast. Here he runs down the artists appearing on the upcoming VIMBY mixtape in freestyle form. If you’re up on your 5-C’s trivia, this will remind you of his classic Pomona-Pitzer bball intro. Ah, the good ol’ days.
If you want to see more of Tunji freestyling, check his appearance on Sound Session a few weeks back. Plus, there may be some more studio footage coming from Greg in a bit…
(watch in HD on HyphenTV here)
A few weeks ago, I posted up the video of Tunji (of Inverse) freestyling – and killing it – on Sound Session, but now I’ve got a longer clip of the interview for y’all. Peep the video above (or in HD on the HyphenTV Vimeo page) to hear Tunji and Toby break down their backgrounds, their So Far and So True projects, how the internet and blog explosion has affected their careers as independent artists, and more. You can also see some footage of their performance at Chop Suey from the night before.
Since there was one break that we didn’t include in the video, I’ve got the audio of the full interview here for all y’all Inverse fanatics:

Be sure to hit up the homies on their MySpace and blog, and download their 2 free projects ASAP if you haven’t already.
A lot of people have been asking me about El Prez’ “Hammerman” joint that I’ve played on the last few Sound Session episodes. Well, ask no more because the project is finally here for y’all to enjoy. Prezzo linked up with his partner in crime, Dale Danja, to drop the Perfect Strangers EP and they’ve put it up for free download. Make sure you grab this one and then get Prez’ Daily Show project that came out last year if you’ve been sleeping…
