Dig it… Third Root and Adrian Quesada collaborate on what would already be a banger on its own. Reinforcements are then called in, in the form of Da’Shade Moonbeam, Riders Against The Storm (RAS), Bavu Blakes and Vocab. Bars upon bars, all spitting on the knowledge tip. Soul Force is a monster of a song… not since the days of We’re All In The Same Gang or Self-Destruction has there been a collaborative effort this deep and meaningful. Certainly worth the $0.99 price tag. Here’s to hoping all parties involved can find the time to make a video out of this, because songs this strong deserve visual accompaniment.
Riders Against the Storm is calling for 100 of its most dedicated fans/family to become members, initiating a new phase of creative development and growth.
Every day, it seems, (RAS) Riders Against the Storm give Austin hip hop heads one more reason to be happy they’ve chosen to join our ranks. This time around, (RAS) has dropped a video for their party jam Booty Sweat that would make one proud. Featuring footage from their Body Rock events, Juiceland, and other local points with some of my favorite Austin graf, it’s bound to be a prominent reminder of how the creative minds of the ATX get down. Enjoy, share, and support!
My favorite hip-hop household, Riders Against The Storm (RAS), recently teamed up with Riddlore of Project Blowed to produce a song about when you’re stuck on that “what’s next” mindframe. Dig it and download it, because it’s free!
RIDERS AGAINST the STORM always comes with truth. The new video for NO RESUME is no exception.. makes me miss the early 90s hearing hip-hop of this caliber, and seeing a video to it. Check it out for yourselves, share it with your friends!
Two souls…two healers…two emcees…two lovers…two souls… ON A MISSION!
A few months back, I had the pleasure of playing a show/birthday party in Austin with several acts, DJs and graf artists. There was a wide variety of music, and the night was memorable, but one group left a lasting impression, and that group was (RAS) Riders Against The Storm.
Formed by husband and wife team Jbro and Tiger Lily, this crew is as much a movement as it is a hip-hop group. The two exude social awareness, family values and knowledge of self so effortlessly, yet efficiently, that you are permanently changed by experiencing them. The music is both ahead of it’s time and a callback to the golden age. The stage show is on the money… visually and emotionally stimulating.
There are many things currently happening within the world of (RAS). Both of their albums are currently free on their BandCamp site. The website currently host the I AM TROY DAVIS blog series, a tribute to the life and death of Troy Davis, through the eyes and experience of another individual. Their Willis and Tameka skits have been recently used to educate about the Prison Industrial Complex :
Please take the time to keep (RAS) on your radar… big things are in store from this crew, and they deserve all of it.
