True School :: Ben Buck And Company Release ‘Spirits’ Visual

Posted on October 22, 2019 | Leave a comment

The Dang Ol’ tour that Ben Buck, Cold Sweat, Jantzonia and Manny Phesto took part in recently looks like it was a blast, based solely on the feedback from the crew, and the subsequent EP release that followed.  It looks like their downtime, however, was not wasted, as Ben Buck has proven with the release of the video for his Spirits single.  The track, produced by Flobama of Hermit Kingdom, hearkens back to the early/mid-1990s hip-hop energy that many of my peers know and love so well, so it’s only fitting that Ben Buck would employ Diggy and Wyatt El to make a video parallel energy infused with new school editing touches.  Plain and simple, this video looked like it was a blast to make, and it only strengthens the message of the track by matching the energy and spirit (no pun intended) that already existed.  Definitely dope, so check it out, leave a like and a comment, and share it around for others to enjoy!

Manipulated Masses :: Feral The Earthworm Waxes Philosophical On ‘Like Button’

Posted on October 21, 2019 | Leave a comment

I’ll let Feral the Earthworm break down Like Button for you :

“Semi-serious song about social media.  As a human being I probably wouldn’t even interact with these mediums, yet as an artist I seem to be required.  I don’t actually care what people think, yet my career seemingly depends on these likes and shares.”

This is a stance that I understand wholly, as I would probably not be on social media myself if not for the ability to connect people with my music, which I ultimately do for self-centered, therapeutic reasons in all honesty.  It’s a strange give and take for the public creative, and that’s not even the normal synergy, as most people become dependent on social media for validation on a much more basic, vastly less esoteric level.  It’s a mess, that’s for sure, but Feral the Earthworm lays it all out well.  Check out the video, leave a like and a comment, and share it around for others to do the same.

Lo Fire :: ‘Sidewalk Puke’ Releases Self-Titled EP

Posted on October 18, 2019 | Leave a comment

artworks-000611943601-yrdecc-t500x500

When my friend Annie Mirage hit the road towards Boston to study music, I had an inkling that her creative spirit would grow, and it appears that I hit the nail on the head with that particular bit of guesswork.  She’s recently formed a duo known as sidewalk puke, and their self-titled project packs a might wallop for all of its less than two-minute glory.  Themes of empowerment and identity are supercharged on a lo-fi recording setup and presented in a manner similar to jingles, making them instantly memorable and catchy.  If they decide to stick with the bite-sized songwriting, I’m all here for it, but if they decide to expand on the song length to explore ideas further, I’d allow that as well.  Check this one out, leave a like/comment if you dig it, and share it around for others to do the same thing!

Fly Girl :: The Vapor Caves Shine On ‘Bitch To The Boys’

Posted on October 17, 2019 | Leave a comment

a0851260695_10

Holy smokes y’all… I knew that The Vapor Caves were already one of my favorite projects making music these days, but I didn’t know how bad I apparently needed a Yadira Brown rap verse in my life until I heard Bitch to the Boys.  Like many of their songs, The Vapor Caves drench this one in an old school aesthetic, employing shades of Neneh Cherry meets Mary Jane Girls for this round.  This album doesn’t appear to be a concept album, per se’, but the way that BoomBaptist and Yadira Brown execute their ideas so fully is impressive and inspiring.  This one will make some lists at the (rapidly approaching) end of this year… mark my words.  Check it out, spread it around, and support your local creatives!

Massive Output :: Bjørn Vådër Keeps The Good Tunes Coming

Posted on October 16, 2019 | Leave a comment

a1990276129_10

If I wanted to, I could probably dedicate my entire blog to the prolific amount of output that Bjørn Vådër blesses us with.  His latest project may be Tolstory the Crater, but my man puts out new music on an almost daily basis, until he has enough to gather into a collection.  This post will hopefully serve as an introductory point for listeners to dive into the lush, textured and ethereal world of sound that Bjørn Vådër creates… maybe if I play my cards right, we can get some collaborative work going.

Sky Captain :: MAD1ONE Hits The Internet Again With ‘Invisible Kingdom’

Posted on October 15, 2019 | Leave a comment

a3917268049_10

For the last few years, you know you’re good for about two releases from MAD1ONE, and with the second half of the year cresting and running into the final portion, it makes sense that he’d release Invisible Kingdom, a collection of hard-hitting, mostly high energy songs from the San Antonio-based veteran.  The production line-up for this one is insane : Four Limbs, DJ Gonz, Ruler Why, Kizer, SBVTK, Furthermore, Progeny, Sultan Mir and Mikey all contribute to the stellar sounds that MAD1ONE eloquently professes on.  This one is another strong notch in his belt, so don’t sleep on it… check it out, share it around, and if you have a few bucks, make a donation when you download, as every little bit helps.

Another Day :: Feral The Earthworm Strikes Again With ‘Sitting On A Curb’ Video

Posted on October 14, 2019 | Leave a comment

Making videos is so nice, why not do it twice?  That must be the energy that Feral the Earthworm, Buddy Brown and Carly Molstad are feeling these days, because right on the heels of their Crust Rapper video collaboration, they’ve dropped Sitting on A Curb, an equally creative follow-up music video with it’s own unique look and feel.  The group decided to go for a more artistic look, framing Feral on several literal curbs with visually pleasing cracks and background areas, lining him up clean enough so that they could cut between the locations while Feral stayed fixed and flowing.  The end result is strong, making the video instantly memorable and one that stays on your mind long after viewing.  Share this one around too… like and comment on it too… and you may as well subscribe to Feral‘s YouTube channel if you’ve not done so already, as I imagine there’s more in store…

Blazing Trails :: Feral The Earthworm Debuts ‘Crust Rapper’ Music Video

Posted on October 11, 2019 | Leave a comment

As stated in the video’s description, Feral the Earthworm has made loads of content for social media, but he has never done a true and proper music video.  With the help of directing duo Buddy Lewis and Car Molstad, his trusty van, and a little costuming magic, Crust Rapper was blessed with a memorable and entertaining video reminiscent of a time in hip-hop where creativity thrived and resonated on uncharted levels, which really allowed individual skills and characteristics to shine.  Feral is certainly a forward thinking individual, and it’s nice to see him expand his creative realms into both the familiar and unfamiliar, as he continues to be an inspiration to all of us.  Check out the video, leave a like and a comment, and share it around so others can get in on the action!

Staying Afloat :: Anthony Maintain Shows Out On ‘Plugging Holes In The Same Leaky Boat’

Posted on October 10, 2019 | Leave a comment

a0506187273_10

This is one of those moments where the anticipation pays off.. where the wait was well worth it.. Anthony Maintain has been teasing the release of Plugging Holes In The Same Leaky Boat for quite a while now, debuting bits and pieces in live sets prior to moving from the Austin area back to the East Coast.  Everyone who’d heard the tastes provided, however, knew that when the project dropped, it was going to drop like a ton of bricks, and Anthony Maintain has proven me correct.  This album is a sonic journey through moody soundscapes and thought-provoking wordplay, plus there are a handful of special contributors on the project (one of which you may recognize).  Check this one out at the link above, or on your favorite streaming service, and encourage others to do the same!

Infinity Pool :: Poolboi Blu Keeps The Ill Content Coming

Posted on October 9, 2019 | Leave a comment

Seems like a weekly occurrence these days to hit you with some poolboi blu news, but that was always his gameplan… my man has been stating that he’s in work mode, and the steady stream of output these past few months is a testament to the work he’s putting in.  This go ’round, I got the chance to collaborate with him on the lead video for his upcoming release DIXIE… a somber track called Marco Polo that we utilized visual imagery to match the lyrical threads present.  Check it out, leave a like and a comment, and share it around.

When you’re done with that, you can dive into the latest volume in his mix series, sincere (volume 0 1 1), because like the rest of the mixes, it’s dope.  Give this one the same like, comment and share treatment, and hopefully, poolboi blu will keep the dopeness coming.
