Kid Cudi – Soundtrack 2 My Life (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on March 28th, 2010 by Hyphen

Some of my hip-hop buddies dislike this song because it’s…well, for lack of a better term…quite ’emo’, but I’d much rather listen to heartfelt topics than some generic, stereotypical gangster ish.  Jason Goldwatch did a great job on the direction for this one too.

88 Keys ft. Kanye West – Stay Up (Viagra) (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on March 17th, 2009 by Hyphen

is niiiiiiiiiiiiice”

88, ‘Ye, and the Decon fam just released the video for “Stay Up,” one of the dopest tracks of the past year in my opinion.  It would weird me out too much to rock that old dude makeup, but it looks like 88 and ‘Ye felt at home as Clifford and Rufus.  The first verse on this reminds me of when ‘Ye was just starting to get his mixtape buzz and spitting hilarious bars all over the place.  Great stuff.

If you missed either of 88’s appearances on Sound Session from last year, peep ’em here and here.

Evidence ft. Blu, Phonte, & Will.I.Am – For Whom The Bell Tolls (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on February 11th, 2009 by Hyphen

After dropping videos for almost every track off his excellent Layover EP, Ev is back with what I believe is the final clip for the project.  As expected, this one doesn’t disappoint either.  When has Decon ever steered you wrong on the visuals (or anywhere else for that matter)?

Evidence ft. Krondon – Solitary Confinement (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on November 26th, 2008 by Hyphen

(I was going to point out that it’s NSFW, but that’s obvious.  Besides, my European side was like “what’s the big deal?”)

I believe this is the 3rd to last video scheduled for Ev’s Layover EP, but I’m not sure what the next one will be.  The final (and only ‘big-budget’) clip will be “For Whom The Bell Tolls,” which will be shot at the start of December.  If you want to hear more info about Ev’s projects, be sure to peep that interview I did with him and Alchemist a few weeks back right here.

Evidence ft. Defari – Don’t Hate (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on November 18th, 2008 by Hyphen

Yo.  Ev is killing it right now.  The latest video from his upcoming Layover EP features Defari and it’s yet another dope clip.  Be sure to listen to the interview I recorded with Ev and Alchemist about the whole project and why they’re releasing so many videos for it.  We also talked about how hungry he is these days, which is clearly evident, no pun, in these clips.  Cop the Layover on the 25th!

88 Keys – True Feelings (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on November 16th, 2008 by Hyphen

You know any project put out by Decon is gonna have some nice visuals to go along with it, and 88’s new Death of Adam album is no different.  This has been owning my car deck for about a week straight now.  Check the recent interview I did with 88 and then go cop the album!

Evidence ft. Alchemist – So Fresh (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on November 16th, 2008 by Hyphen

Another video from Ev’s Layover EP dropping on the 25th.  I’ll be posting up an interview later today that I did with the homies Ev and Al when they were in town a few weeks ago, where you can hear ’em talk about all the dope projects they have coming up.  And no, we didn’t talk about what it’s like to look mildly similar. [jada] ah-HAAAA [/jada]

88 Keys on Sound Session…again!

Posted in Artists, Interviews, Sound Session on November 11th, 2008 by Hyphen

Death of Adam

^^poor Adam.

Even though we had 88 Keys call in to Sound Session a few months ago back in June (peep that interview here), with Death of Adam finally dropping today, we thought we’d remind y’all to cop it.  You can check the first interview for all sorts of information about the album and then check part two below.  This time around, Keys talked about what he wanted to do with DoA, how it affected his musical plans for the future, and even dispensed some important advice to men everywhere.  Check it out:

Cop Death of Adam in stores now!

Evidence – The Layover (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on October 29th, 2008 by Hyphen

What better place for Ev to shoot visuals for “The Layover” than at an airport?  I was waiting for that final scene to happen the entire time I was watching it hahah.  Ev’s EP drops on Nov. 25th and you already know it’s gonna be fire.  He’ll be in Seattle soon, so look for another appearance from the Weatherman on Sound Session in the coming weeks.

88 Keys ft. Dilated Peoples, Alchemist, & Aceyalone – Fresh Rhymes & Videotape (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on October 2nd, 2008 by Hyphen

(had to embed the high quality version…those visuals are too crisp + I’m a sucker for the fish eye lens)

That might be the longest post title I’ve had.  Anyway, we’ve been playing this track on Sound Session recently and now the mighty Decon Media crew has come through with a video for it.  If you know anything about Decon, you know that nobody’s touching their multimedia work right now.  Seriously, top notch.  This clip is comprised of footage taken from the FRV tour (remember when I interviewed 88 Keys?) and it’ll be on a DVD/EP they’re dropping on the 14th.  Cop that!
