Compensate Inspiration :: Les Rav Raises Funds

This past weekend at Foodstock/MR Fest, I had the pleasure of being introduced to a small handful of new bands.  One of the performers that stood out was soloist Les Rav.  I recently found out she has an IndieGoGo campaign in order to raise funds for recording her first album.  Take a moment to watch, share the video, and donate if you can.

Keep It Kinetic :: “Rosie’s Boy” By Tee Double

from the digital desk of Tee Double:

“I love making music because I love the art form. I love the way the beats combine with the words to form rhythmic structure. I love how the crowd still reacts to a good punch line or cadence of wordplay. I am a spitter,chopper,lyrical dart thrower, beat sculptor, business man,voice for the voiceless and most of all I am Rosie’s Boy.”

Uncovered Gems :: Ernest Gonzalez Rediscovers “Glass Pyramids”

from the digital desk of Ernest Gonzales:

“Started going through my hard drive today, deleting old virtual memories and creations…stumbled across an unreleased track. It is titled Glass Pyramids which is a title I ended up using on While on Saturn’s Rings however when I listened to it…the track was something completely different. This track is super chill and must have been made around 2006 or so. Enjoy!”
