Lupe Fiasco ft. Trey Songz – Out Of My Head (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on July 3rd, 2011 by Hyphen

I find it kind of comical that so many people, myself and even Lupe included, had issues with various elements of L.A.S.E.R.S. and yet it’s been an incredibly successful commercial album for him.  “The Show Goes On” is one of the biggest chart topping records of the year and the new single, “Out Of My Head,” is getting considerable airplay as well.  Hopefully that continues now that the video is out.

Lupe Fiasco on Sound Session

Posted in Artists, Interviews, Sound Session on February 10th, 2011 by Hyphen

Long time friend of SNSS, Lupe Fiasco returned to Seattle to speak with J. Moore and I on 1-14-11. We broadcast live on KUBE93.com and talked all about his long awaited Lasers project, his rabid fan base, his life away from the stage/studio, and much more.  In the first half of the interview, Lu discussed how his lyrics impact listeners, how he’s often misinterpreted in the media, his hobbies when relaxing at home, and more.

In the second half of the interview, Lu discussed his car collection, his favorite albums of 2010, his plans to become an author, Lasers, and he even spit an acapella verse from the project.

Lastly, we opened up the floor to questions from viewers who were logged in, watching it live.

Hopefully you enjoy this candid conversation with one of our favorite MC’s in the industry and just an all around good guy.  I wish we recorded footage of the meet & greet we held right before this (remember when we gave out tickets?) so you could all see how Lu’s lyrics have really impacted the lives of his fans.

Support Lasers when it drops March 8th!

#motivationalmusic and a good anthem to start off the new year.  Whatever challenges you’re dealing with, let’s push past them in 2011.

Donnis – Tonight (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on October 23rd, 2010 by Hyphen

I’m pretty much a sucker for anything shot in Tokyo or Hong Kong that showcases cityscapes or flashing lights.  I’m a simple man.

Wiz Khalifa – Mezmorized (video)

Just realized I never posted up this video, my bad.  One of my favorite records off Kush & Orange Juice…crazy beat and overall, just a smooth joint from front to back.

Wiz Khalifa on Sound Session

Posted in Artists, Interviews, Sound Session, Videos on October 20th, 2010 by Hyphen

This past weekend, I had a chance to check out the Seattle stop of the Waken Baken tour when it hit the Showbox Sodo.  I’ll be posting up my interview with the opening act, Yelawolf, soon, but I was also able to chop it up with Wiz Khalifa backstage and we recorded this quick interview for y’all.  We discussed the tour, Wiz’ incredible buzz, his experiences in the Pacific Northwest, getting his hometown Pittsburgh Steelers to support “Black and Yellow,” and more.

Shout to Wiz, Will, Artie, and Motti for hooking everything up.  Cop that Kush & Orange Juice if you haven’t already…definitely one of the best projects of the year.  Just wait until the official album drops…

Wiz Khalifa – Black & Yellow (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on October 10th, 2010 by Hyphen

I sure hope this is an anthem in Pittsburgh right now.  Catchy record too, and he’s not lying about the “just made a million…got another million on my schedule” either.  We might be chopping it up with Wiz and Yelawolf this Friday when their tour hits the town, so keep your eyes on the twitter for updates…

Janelle Monae ft. B.o.B & Lupe Fiasco – Tightrope (Remix) (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos, Remixes on July 2nd, 2010 by Hyphen

Not only did Ms. Monae hook up a dope remix to her “Tightrope” record, but she also got the crew together for a quick video.  Just for the record, has anyone seen her guitar player, Kellindo, and Andre3000 in the same room at the same time?

Donnis – Gone (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on April 15th, 2010 by Hyphen

Damn, my man who doesn’t like when I post Drake stuff on the site is gonna want to skip over this one too hahah.  Not to compare the two unfairly, but Donnis does share Drake’s abilities to appeal to a nice cross-section of the hip-hop crowd.  He can rap.  He can make catchy hooks (this one is a monster).  He picks good beats.  As he references in the song…it’s a nice mixture of Kanye, T.I., ‘Kast, Jay-Z influences, combined with his own talent that shapes his sound.  I’m a fan.
