Gotta run to the station for this week’s Sound Session, but I realized that I never posted up the homey Sean’s new video for “Wonderful Life” with Playboy Tre and Scar. Shout to Tre as well, who was in town on Friday for the B.o.B/Lupe tour. Good times…
While the song is real dope (crazy beat from Marco especially), I must say…my dude Todd Angkasuwan killed it with this video. Marco’s slap is classic. Every time someone complains about artists like Drake and whatnot, I like to remind them that there’s plenty of that traditional boom-bap craziness to beat you over the head with. Duck Down has been holding it down on that front for 15 years. Respect.
Talib, Hi-Tek, and Estelle make an old school inspired video for their new single off Revolutions Per Minute, which drops on the 18th. I just got word that the homies U-N-I will be joining Reflection Eternal on the RPM Tour. See my Seattle folk at the Showbox Market on the 29th…
Dope visuals put together for an in-studio live performance of Donwill’s “Love Junkie (Wallpaper Remix).” Doesn’t it just make you want to move? Shout to Yours Truly.
We played the hell outta this record on SNSS when it first dropped and I’m glad to see some visuals finally come out. I love that the biggest rapper in the game these days came from doing verses on joints like this. You have to respect/enjoy that.
One of my favorite verses ever…and a true story of R.A.’s dad. Off a Jedi Mind Tricks song from a few years back, but R.A. decided to to do some visuals for his new Legendary Classics, Vol. 1 project.
I would post some commentary, but I’m frantically going through music to figure out what to play on Sound Session tonight. Besides, you don’t need my take on this. It’s Lupe. It’s dope.
Awww, no appearance from Jake in the video? Wack. Other than that, good stuff from Rik Cordero for one of the best singles of the year.
If, for some silly reason, “Shine So Brite” wasn’t enough to prove to you that Nottz can not only murder the beat but also rip the mic…I present to you, “Cars.” This dude is crazy dope.
If you aren’t familiar with her work on the recent Foreign Exchange projects, YahZarah is one of the illest singers out right now. When the big homey Phonte hit me up to be a part of this promo video for her upcoming album, The Ballad of Purple St. James, it was an honor to help out. Granted, I didn’t realize I committed to lip syncing her rendition of “Dedicated To You” (a classic jazz standard), but I’m just thankful you only get to see my ugly mug for a few seconds. Let’s hope the outtakes never make it out the vault…
