Broadcast News :: Third Root & Reggie Coby’s ‘Reflection Of The Times’ Visualized

Posted on June 28, 2016 | Leave a comment

Growing up in the Austin / San Antonio corridor is a beautiful thing as a music fan. Reflection of the Times, the lead single off of San Antonio-based hip hop outfit Third Root‘s upcoming release Libertad is a perfect example of that synergy. The album is produced by Austin legend (and old friend) Adrian Quesada, and it features the guest vocal stylings of Reggie Coby. The track in itself is exactly what it’s advertised as… vocalized thoughts on how the more things change, the more they stay they same, and why we cannot accept that. Share this far and wide.

Naturally Progressive :: Mindz Of A Different Kind Visualizes ‘Astrophyziks’

Posted on June 25, 2016 | Leave a comment

I recently checked out Mindz of a Different Kind‘s latest release, Foursight, and as always, I was highly impressed with their work. I’ve seen a handful of their videos in the past, and they’ve always been dope, with that old school Rap City aesthetic that got me into wanting to make music videos and films in the first place. But man oh man, they’re coming out swinging with the visual elements this round. DVZN Media got the call for the single Astrophysikz, and it’s ill as hell. As my last video showed, I’m a huge fan of the pirate broadcast aesthetic, and the geniuses at DVZN Media nailed it. Add some real raps over solid production, and you’ve got a winner.

Posted on June 23, 2016 | Leave a comment

KDeath of the formidable Minneapolis-based outfit Moodie Black is a busy man.. constantly, there is creative output coming from that direction. S T R E S S serves as a shelter for a number of singles and unaccounted for songs that have shown up in the live performances and the Soundcloud page. Weekend, a personal favorite of mine, finds it’s way on here.. props to Belly Belt for the assist on that track as well. Check it out for sure.

Rising Tide :: Deville San Ramos Drops ‘Full Sail’ EP

Posted on June 4, 2016 | Leave a comment

After some time cutting their teeth on the live scene, the acoustic outfit Deville San Ramos is moving towards building the catalog. The wonderful Full Sail EP is the first foray into the world of recording for the band, and it’s very very good. The only negative about it at this point is that it’s not an LP, and we’ll have to wait for more.

Dig It :: ‘Unit – E’ Now Available From Feral The Earthworm

Posted on May 31, 2016 | Leave a comment

There really aren’t any Austin wordsmiths out there quite like Feral the Earthworm. From his first days at Austin Mic Exchange, this fellow has approached hip-hop with such a fierce dedication to wordplay and honesty that it can be downright moving to witness. Unit – E finds Feral letting it all hang out.. recounting moments of the past few years that have shaped him into the man he is today. Definitely worth your time.

Creative Chaos :: Butcher Bear and 7LayerOscillator’s ‘(1) Out For Living (0)’ (Singled Out For Living Infinite)

Posted on May 30, 2016 | Leave a comment

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!

Smart Money :: Ben Al ‘100 Times’ Visuals Out Now

Posted on May 28, 2016 | Leave a comment

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.

Triple Vision :: …&more…’s ‘New Groove’

Posted on May 26, 2016 | Leave a comment

…&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.
