New music from an Austin legend. Tee-Double was one of the cats that made me realize that some of the best hip-hop is made by people living the exact same life as yourself. I may have eventually found my voice as a live hip-hop musician, but I wouldn’t have found it in the 1990s if it wasn’t for Tee-Double. My man is still relevant today, and he’s making major moves at Kinetic Global… it may not hurt to take a peek, maybe even get involved.

(and now, to our regularly scheduled post)
from the digital desk of Haberdashery Films:
“Haberdashery Film’s first music video for our friend JayLotus from Houston, TX. He makes great space jazz! The title image is a photo of the Great Carina Nebula by Robert Gendler and Stephane Guisard. The brightest star is called Eta Carinae. We’ve been affectionately calling this video Americans in Space. It is assembled from several Creative Commons sci-fi movies found on Archive.org. Created and edited with the Adobe CS5.5 and Magic Bullet suites.”

Lo Phi is dope. Click-Clack is dope. Combined, what do you think they are? That’s right… free download too. Get it.
ps – If you’ve already picked up Housework by Click-Clack, there’s a bonus cut available that didn’t make the album. Are you a completist?

Ever since the days of .::liquidstereoproject, I have been blessed to become friends with the extremely beautiful and talented Suzanna Choffel. She is a genuinely amazing singer, and a wonderful person. Tune in to “The Voice” this season, and hopefully we can all watch Suzanna reach that next level that she so truly deserves. Enjoy her blind audition:

Get it. Listen to it. Share it. This is my ode to the music that inspires me, and part one of what will become an ongoing series. My take on the mixtape may be a bit skewed by traditional standards, but it’s the most honest portrayal of how I feel about the music that influences me… that I love and hate… and that I want others to know I am aware of. I also want those people to become aware of how there are common threads among music that some may not have envisioned upon first listen.

Notes Floats and Fluid One Studios are back at it on the visual tip, and this time, it’s like an indie moving painting. These guys are definitely letting their respective imaginations run wild, and the result are very memorable videos for very good songs. “There Ya Go” originally was on The Transfer, but the remix is available here. Enjoy!

These cats boast a heavy roster : Anom and Brokebread (Big Package), Emcee and DKOI (Sex, Death, Credits), Progress and Anna Little (who, along with DKOI form Ill Iterate), Joe AveRage and DJ Shoestring. WhyBe? holds down an ill monthly at Plush, aptly titled Hip Hop That Doesn’t Suck.
These guys are also insanely on point where it counts… with the beats and rhymes. Observe and listen:
