Butcher Bear & The Blades are certainly a talented collective, and they make live versions of some of the most amazingly unique music their is. It’s hard to put the experience in words, but Ghostcow Films do a great job of visually interpreting their recent experience at The Sidewinder in this video. Enjoy!

In all seriousness, Butcher Bear dropped a classic in 2015 with This Is How The Game Gets You Played. I would be saying that even if I wasn’t on the album, simply due to the remainder of the supporting cast this album has. (1) Out For Living (0) finds Butch on the breaks and 7LayerOscillator dropping his trademark symbolic knowledge. ManOfTheDown and Night Visuals stepped in on the visual assist, and you’ve got yourself one hell of a trippy journey. Enjoy!

Ben Al recently dropped the dope double album Man’s Rejection God’s Protection, a deeply personal audio journey. 100 Times is a good example of what you’re getting from the project.. honesty, assurance and promises of good things. The video is effective in its direct approach.. visual gospel to back up the knowledge being dropped. Dig it and dig it good.

…&more… is quickly becoming one of my favorite hip hop projects, local or otherwise. The combination of no1mportant and Scuare works in a very synergistic manner. Both of these cats are very talented, but both allow one another the room to shine, which is rare in the group dynamic. My eyes and ears are most certainly open for whatever comes from their direction in the future.

Austin MC Mirage is continuing #TheAmeliorationCollection with the subtly powerful and moving Till The End. Over some very solid and smooth production by Trill Gates, Mirage waxes poetically about the importance of longevity in the hip-hop culture, and his efforts to express that through his career and his art. Bonus trivia: he hit me up on the edit for this one.

Indelible Inc., the combination of Muggzy Flowz bars and Dr. Bobby Banner, MPC‘s beats, is no doubt a sure shot winning team. Throw in AMX alumn and …&more… wordsmith No1mportant for guest bars, and you’ve got the mellow banger Openwide. Throw in some DVZN Media video expertise, and you’ve got one hell of a music video. Props to Promise Psuedo, Kilmatik and more for making guest appearances the way rappers used to appear in one another’s videos back in the day. This is all wonderful.

Not too long ago, The Discovery Channel visited the Unicycle Football League with a special set of cameras to capture the entire spectrum of athletes and fans. Yours truly was on DJ duty that day, so if you swirl things around, you’ll see me chilling and spinning tunes for my favorite local sport. This is truly a one of a kind experience, these 360 videos.

Anyone who knows Chief and TheDoomsdayDevice knows that the visual element is equally important to the sound in my eyes. There has always been this obsession with pirate signals and overriding broadcasts, seeing as I grew up in an age where everything wasn’t digital. Add that with a heavy dose of being slightly obsessive about mind-control, and you’ve got the ingredients for Iron Maiden Voyage, the latest in my attempt to make the visual content match the rate of audio output. Enjoy this bad boy, because I definitely feel like it’s a benchmark moment in my audio-visual history.

KB the Boo Bonic and The Moon Guys are becoming quite the compelling team on the music video front. KB carries herself like the champ she is in all of their videos, and The Moon Guys put together videos that make her look like the star she’s destined to be. U Ain’t Know falls right in line with the upward trajectory of the rest of the work. Beautiful aerial shots, wonderful performance spaces and a nice mellow tone make this another winner in their catalog.

Many wonderful souls grazed the hallowed stage of Triple Crown‘s former location in San Marcos, TX. That location is currently under development as the town prepares itself for its first building over 3 stories tall that isn’t on the Texas State campus. Meanwhile, Triple Crown new location rumors have been buzzing all around the town. While we all wait for what we know will be its triumphant return, CPC Films and SMFC Productions have been working on a documentary to show homage to some of those good times from the past.
In the immediate days after the closing of Triple Crown, up to the date it was finally completely demolished, many musicians would gather in front of the location to sing songs and reminisce about the good times. This video is an attempt to capture the spirit of those gatherings, and it does it quite well.
