Taste Makers :: NextGang And Breadshots Link Up For ‘0001’ Visual

Austin has always had a hip-hop scene, be it focused upon or marginalized, but lately it’s shown levels of diversity that truly validate the strength of the scene.  For an instant example of that diversity, one should look no further than the Breadshots directed visual for NextGang‘s latest, 0001.  The crew, consisting of SheLovesLyrikImYounginThe Teeta and Seas, put it best in the video description :

‘The very rare legendary NextGang links up with infamous Breadshots to film a lyrical gumbo that captivates listeners with variations of cadences and styles cohesively blended to cater many genres of Hip Hop wit.’

Honestly, I’d have to agree.  On top of that, the transitions and visual trickery employed by Breadshots keep things lively, showcasing both his skill as a director/editor and the unique style of each MC.  Check this one out, share it around, and leave a comment if you dig it!

True Foundations :: ImYoungin Talks Real On ‘Change Up’

Life is full of odd behavior and second guessing, and it’s crystal clear that ImYoungin understands that to the fullest.  Change Up, his latest music video, is a focus on staying real to yourself, embracing your come up, and navigating the mine field that is jealousy and envy at your success (and/or others’ lack of success).  ImYoungin avoids the cliches of fancy sets and big money objects, instead opting to keep he and his daughter looking fresh while hanging out in the neighborhood, possibly as a testament to show how he will always support those that show support back.  The track hits hard, ImYoungin effortlessly switches between a mellow hook and blistering verses, and the video is full of images that would make even the most heartless cat on the street stop and smile for a second.  Check out the vid, give it a like and a share, and leave a comment… and as always, support local!
