Heart Felt :: Wevo Lorng Gets Real On ‘Can Ya Blame Me??’

Posted on May 21, 2019 | Leave a comment

artworks-000535442958-mwruij-t500x500

San Marcos hip-hop artist Wevo Lorng popped up on my timeline recently, and being one that’s always looking for something/someone new to post about, I figured I’d check it out.  What I wasn’t ready for, however, was a high quality production with some serious feeling behind it, but that’s EXACTLY what I got with can ya blame me??  This track, despite it’s low key start, feels heavy right from the beginning, and once the tape$ produced track hits that higher intensity, Wevo lets his soul out all over the track.  Definitely gonna have to include this one in my vibey mixes for the unforeseeable future.  Check it out, share it around, and leave a comment on your favorite part of the track!

Making Moves :: Bird Peterson Remixes ‘Hurry Up And Wait’ By The Vapor Caves

Posted on May 20, 2019 | Leave a comment

a0569463506_10

The Vapor Caves are a group with some weight behind the name already, and they have a penchant for getting their already on-point songs remixed, so why not grab another giant like Bird Peterson to get involved?  That, my friends, is exactly what happened for Hurry Up and Wait, and needles to say, Bird Peterson came through.  His drum and bass approach amps up the BPMs, but it somehow manages to let Yadira Brown‘s vocals (and the vocoder work of BoomBaptist) really stretch their legs and move around within the high energy track.  The collective even put together a quick promo clip for fun :

Check out the video and track, share them around, leave a like and a comment on the video, and definitely cop that track if you have an extra digital buck or two laying around!

Night Terrors :: Chris Conde Drops Official Video For ‘Dividing Lines’

Posted on May 17, 2019 | Leave a comment

The world is currently in Chris Conde‘s palm, and every opportunity presented seems to be getting knocked out the park.  After a brief tour stint with Ceschi, Factor Chandelier, Sammus and Armand Hammer, an opening spot for Ashanti, and a re-release of Growing Up Gay on a French label (hopefully with touring support overseas on the horizon), Conde dropped a video in support of the re-release to make things official.  Dividing Lines plays like Taxi Driver at the onset (which had me automatically hooked), with visions of a bleak society set to the night sky and neon lights, all narrated by Conde with sharp wit and observation.  Once free from the confines of the taxi (and accompanied by dawn in the distance), the observational aspect takes front and center, with the bars being reflective and motivational at the same time.  Definitely a classic vid, so check it out, share it, leave a like and a comment, and keep supporting your local creatives!

Tight Squeeze :: Juicy The Emissary Gets Summer Jam Crazy With ‘That Thang Is Juicy’

Posted on May 16, 2019 | Leave a comment

a0217501926_10

2019 summer is about to be crazy… I can tell, because everyone is putting their best foot forward early, and we’ve got a long way to go.  Juicy the Emissary is no stranger to the remix, and his latest track is a mellow summer-style jam that takes some classic Project Pat lyricism and re-contextualizes it in a way that will more than likely put an automatic smile on your face.  This one should definitely be in consideration for your heavy rotation, so share it around, get the download (and the bonus track), and leave a buck or two if you’re feeling generous!

Night Vibes :: Chief And TheDoomsdayDevice Releases New Mi

Posted on May 14, 2019 | Leave a comment

a2104594695_10

I’ve been bad about putting out mixtapes lately, despite the countless number of live DJ sets I do these days.  You’d think that, with a steady diet of influence and practice at these sets, in combination with homeboys like poolboi blu steadily releasing solid mixes, that I’d be better about it, but like most of my art, I strike when the spirit moves me to.  After inspiration from the aforementioned poolboi blu release of his latest sincere mix, plus some talk with a friend about the latest Solange album, a list of songs jumped to mind that I felt would fit well together.  Sometime shortly before dawn, the mix was completed, the album cover was created, and the entire thing found its way to Bandcamp for all of you to enjoy, so please do so!  Share it with a friend too!

Fanning Flames :: SWAB X EVOLVE Connect For ‘Phoenix’ Single

Posted on May 13, 2019 | Leave a comment

When it comes to Texas emcees, EVOLVE is always going to get props in my book.  His work ethic puts many other peers to shame, his willingness to collaborate is inspirational, and his approach to the bars makes him stand out in an otherwise congested scene.  His latest collaborative effort is with producer SWAB, which is (ironically?) titled Out for Self.  The first single, the driving and powerful Phoenix, finds EVOLVE covering a topic that he knows quite well : rising above doubters and naysayers by staying true to yourself… a truly inspirational message that we can all use in these trying times.  Dig it, share it around and definitely support your local creators!

Annie Mirage‘s recent relocation from San Marcos to the East Coast to pursue an education in music seems to have been a fruitful one so far.  Her talent was always present and apparent, and her ability to tell intricate tales over lush instrumentation is clearly present on Run Boy Run.  The strength of her voice and guitar playing is captivating, and having a recorded version of the song definitely makes me happy.  Check it out, share it around, and leave her a message to let her know you dig it and would like to hear more!

Natural Element :: Feral The Earthworm Drops ‘Do What I Love’ For A Nature Cypher

Posted on May 9, 2019 | Leave a comment

A couple of years back, Feral the Earthworm did what many of us artists wish we could, and even added his own twist : he quit his job, terminated his lease, turned a van into a mobile living space and recording studio, and promptly hit the road.  Feral toured all over the states, continued to make music, and essentially has been living his dream to the fullest.  In celebration of this, he recently connected with Buddy Lewis & Car Molstad, and over a Flobama beat, he and the crew set out to the forests of China Grade to record a performance of Do What I Love, an appropriate song for the situation.  The finished product is dope, and the visuals match the beauty of their surroundings, so go ahead and check it out, leave a like and a comment, and spread it around to your friends.
