Posted on July 27, 2014 | Leave a comment

When will the assault on the senses from Moodie Black end?  Hopefully, no time in the near future.  Let’s hope this creative train not only continues, but picks up steam and gains ground.

Circular Creation :: ‘Pomegranate Series Season One Megamix’ by Hades

Posted on July 27, 2014 | Leave a comment


This is a MEGAMIX produced by HADES consisting of the Pomegranate Series season one episodes.

What is Pomegranate Series?
A short film is made. The audio from that short film is sampled and used to create the music. The MC is shown the video and gets 1 hour to write to it. When the hour is up the bars are promptly recorded and that becomes a Pomegranate Series SEED (or Episode)

Connect, Dig It! :: Cory Kendrix And Anna Love ‘Wax On’

Posted on July 16, 2014 | Leave a comment

The best thing about watching two talented people from slightly different angles in the spectrum connect is the possibility of unexpected results.  Anna Love is coming fresh off of an extensive run with the Red Bull Academy.  Cory Kendrix is still running strong off of the release of his Ignorance LP, as well as a solo tour run and a stint on the road with the LNS Crew.  They are currently collaborating on an EP titled Worth Something,and if this first taste is in any way reflective of the whole project, this will move both parties ahead in a major way.  Check it out, share it, and stay tuned for more…

We Can Get Down :: AMX Cypher, Volume One

Posted on July 1, 2014 | Leave a comment

SPACE CAMP DEATH SQUAD, The Lower Class, Scuare, Secret Levels, Mainstreem and Protextor/P-Tek got down recently with the intent of leaving the Austin Mic Exchange imprint on the currently overwhelming practice of cypher videos.  The good thing about this take, however, is that it’s full of talented cats who all swung for the fences on this one.  You can catch many of these artist at Austin Mic Exchange, every Tuesday Night at Spiderhouse Cafe (Austin).

Enjoy!
