Ab-Soul ft. Danny Brown and Jhene Aiko – Terrorist Threats (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on May 19th, 2012 by Hyphen

Just in time for his weekend here in Seattle (shows tonight at Seattle U and tomorrow at Neumos), Ab-Soul drops his newest video, this time for “Terrorist Threats” with Danny Brown and the lovely miss Jhene Aiko.  I’ve been hoping to play this on Sound Session for a while, but it’s a bit too dirty to clean up.  Works pretty nicely for the web though!  Dope record.

Kendrick Lamar – HiiiPower (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on May 28th, 2011 by Hyphen

As the hip-hop community, and all who love music, reel from the loss of the legendary Gil Scott-Heron, I thought to myself about the messages in his records.  Do today’s artists have the desire and ability to make music that elevates to the levels Gil effortlessly resided in? 

While mass media would certainly tell you otherwise, I think they can.  We certainly need music that offers us escape, but it’s vitally important that we continue to create good music with real purpose.

Shout to Kendrick for doing just that with one of the best songs of 2011 so far.

Dope record from 2 of my favorite MC’s out right now, and Schoolboy Q is impressing me the more I hear from him.  Top Dawg has a nice stable of artists, I ain’t mad one bit.  Directed by Fredo Tovar and Scott Fleishman for APlusFilmz.
