Kidz in the Hall + Estelle = Love Hangover

September 23, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Awesome video.

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

I’ve been anticipating two things: The End of Bush’s Term and Detox.

July 5, 2008 · 1 Comment

The Most anticipated album of the 21st Century? Maybe.  For about eight years now fan’s of Dr. Dre and West Coast hip hop in general have been waiting patiently for the follow up to 2001.  Well if you haven’t heard it yet here is Dre’s new protege Bishop Lamont and his single “Grow Up.”  His debut album The Reformation is expected around October 08 (just 3 months).  Bishop is next up!  Seriously.  I don’t cosign a lot of industry cats but I was convinced after hearing the mixtape he did with Black Milk, Caltroit.  And his newest mixtape The Confessional, is a banger.  He’s got incredible beat selection (he is Dre’s protege) and a dark sense of humor.  Both of which rate really high in my book.  Now without further ado….

Also if you forgot-

Dr. Dre protege’s…

Snoop Dogg

The D.O.C.

Eminem

Busta Rhymes Is Back!!!

April 30, 2008 · 1 Comment

Thank God.
I’m really glad to see Bussa Bus has got into his groove over at Aftermath. For a little while, I was worried that I had lost my favorite rapper to mediocrity. Let me rephrase that. For about two years, I was worried that hip hop had lost its favorite rapper to mediocrity. Well rap fans, do not fear! Busta is hear! I’m Blessed Coming Summer 08.
Two hot new songs and most imporantly two incredible videos.
Here for your viewing pleasure….

Lupe Fiasco New VIDEO! Paris, Tokyo

April 13, 2008 · Leave a Comment

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

March 13, 2008 · Leave a Comment

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!
