Heltah Skeltah’s D.I.R.T. is Out Today

If you didn’t know, now you do.
Oh and they’re the best underground hip hop group out now…
And Rik Cordero is probably the best music video director currently. Untouchable!
So buy it!

Not to be political but here’s Michael Moore’s new film.

Slacker Uprising- Free Download!

Kidz in the Hall + Estelle = Love Hangover

Awesome video.

I think Estelle has more staying power than Amy Winehouse, mostly because she’s almost guaranteed to live longer (…a lot longer).

Musictomarketing.com Shows love for Trifecta

Thanks to Johnny over at MusictoMarketing.com (M2M for short) has written a really positive Preview of TRIFECTA presents Paasky & Sanchez: The SIKKIS.
Shout out to Coco and Freret!
M2M previews Trifecta

Trifecta was the first hip hop group that I interviewed here at M2M. The Trifecta mix tape is finally here. I was able to listen to it thanks to my roommate AKA Rockwell, who left a copy sitting in the common room. To be honest, I had very high expectations because I know how hard Rockwell has been working on this project and I have to say that I was blown away on all levels: beats, lyrics, production, etc. With their second project already underway, I see nothing but big things happening for this trio.

The group recently had a guest appearance on Crescent City Radios’ The Hip Hop Hour. Trifecta played some tracks for listeners and talked about The Sikkis and their upcoming project which is expected to be released in August 2008. It is my understanding that The Sikkis will be released on both TuneCore and iTunes soon. I have been listening to The Sikkis for two days straight and there are some great tracks, my personal favorite is track 13 (don’t have the tracks names!). The one track title I do know, “NO To The Bay”, features Loyola rapper G-Eazy. For more information check out Trifecta MySpace and Rockwell Beats.

Lupe Fiasco New VIDEO! Paris, Tokyo

All I have to say is there is a Music God. One of my favorite songs on The Cool is now a video!

Well put together concept and perfectly conceived in this mini-movie.

Low on flash, High on Class… PLUS-

Lupe on a Train, Lupe on a Plane,

Lupe on a Camel, Lupe on a Motorcycle.

Love how each verse is a different place – Paris, Cairo, Tokyo.

Just a little disappointed that New Orleans was only represented in word and not picture.

Its all good though. Except…. is Lupe wearing makeup? Mascara?

I know its probably normal with large budget videos but his eyelashes loop particularly…

Girly.

Trifecta/Rockwellbeats Interview at M2M.com

I feel very honored to announce that Musictomarketing.com has released a video interview of Trifecta which is the hiphop group that I am a member of along with god MCs Paasky and Sanchez. Musictomarketing.com is a well written and thoughtful blog, I cannot say enough about it. Its an inspiration to be recognized for what I am passionate about.

I am told that many more interviews are scheduled with indie musicians and music industry insiders. I cannot wait for the next installment!

So with that said I would like to announce that the first Trifecta project is in its finishing stages. Paasky & Sanchez: The Sikkis is near!!! I meant it when I said in the interview that this is an introduction of a new style of hiphop for New Orleans and the World. Paasky and Sanchez are lyrical monsters and just down to earth guys whose knowledge of the ins and outs of the industry always amaze me. The three of us cannot fail. Straight up.

Props to Alex “the Camera Guy” Wiltz for the amazing editing and filming. This is another man I feel has only success in his future. He will be shooting some Trifecta music videos too.

TRIFECTA: SIKKIS MUSIC IS ON ITS WAY. WATCH OUT!
