After dropping the teaser, the homies Outasight, 6th Sense, and GregTheDude present the new video for “Catch Me If You Can” off OU’s excellent Further project. Hanging out with these cats at SXSW was definitely one of the highlights for me.
Thanks to some horrible virus issues on my PC, my life sucks right now. While I desperately try to save the important files off that comp, I wanted to toss up Shafiq Husayn’s new video for “Lil’ Girl.” Not only is a great record and dope clip, but it’s the first ever music video directed by the 5-C’s own GregTheDude! The homey from college is doing big things…congrats Greg!
And now if you’ll excuse me, it’s back to tinkering with my desktop comp. Oh PC, why can’t you run like this new MacBook Pro?
Pretty self explanatory…the homies Tunji, Kam Moye, Jern Eye, and Evangillest rocking rhymes over live production from Keelay and Cook. Shout to GregTheDude on the visuals!
Tunji and Toby linked up with Yours Truly and GregTheDude for a Los Angeles edition of the Keys 2 The City series:
Inverse gives you an insider’s tour of the finer restaurants that populate the City of Angels such as Tito’s Tacos and IN-N-OUT Burger, all while shedding some light on their backstory. As Los Angeles brims with the talented new voices it’s inspired, Inverse takes the lead and treats us to a set of fresh acapellas. If you like what you hear, cop the So True EP on iTunes or Amazon and support independent artists.
Amen. Sidenote, I think I was with them after a late night studio session when we hit that Taco joint back in our college days. Might not have been the same one, but either way, ahhh…the good ol’ days.
LOL @ comparisons between Em and Asher right now. Asher’s actually making songs. Em’s making the same joke of a single for the 6th time. Shrug.
This is the next single by the way, featuring Cee-Lo if you couldn’t tell. Footage shot by the homey Tunji and the alley oop from GregTheDude.
Hahaha, Tunj is hilarious. I remember GregTheDude shot me this video along with the earlier clip of Tunj freestyling with Cook about the New Classics mixtape the night he did ’em. While the first free was dope, I was sad this one didn’t get released too…until now.
If you haven’t downloaded the mixtape, stop sleeping!
Right on the heels of TiRon’s Ketchup mixtape comes a fresh video for one of the tracks, “3 Drink Minimum,” featuring Ayomari and produced by Sa-Ra. Remember how I mentioned that the CunninLynguists’ weed song was my jam despite the fact that I’ve never smoked? Yeah, same thing with this one and drinking basically.
Shout to GregTheDude with a nice cameo in this one hahaha.
The Vimby x UpOnThingz mixtape, The New Classics, dropped last week as a streamable project on iMeem, but it’s 2009…and that just doesn’t quite cut it these days. Here’s the full project for download, featuring incredible production from the homey Cook Classics and appearances by some of the best rising talent in the game: Shawn Jackson, Outasight, Avriel Epps, Emilio Rojas, Buff1, TiRon, Inverse, Pacific Division, 6th Sense, U-N-I, Convinced, Fashawn, and many, many more. If you need more of a reason to cop immediately, did you forget Tunji’s freestyle?
Download here.
Chyea, go ‘head Cook. If you aren’t familiar with the homey Will, you need to get familiar. He’s insanely talented and as he mentioned, he’s producing full ideas and making soundscapes that go above and beyond merely “making beats.” [Mos] Get his rookie card now, while the price is cheap [/Def].
Shout to Greg, Tunj, and the whole 5-C’s.
GregTheDude gave me a sneak peak of this last night…pause…but now it’s officially ready for the world to see. Greg + Tunji + Cook = Claremont Colleges talent at its finest, but y’all don’t know about that.
What you do know, however, is that it’s becoming quite evident that Tunj is a beast. Here he runs down the artists appearing on the upcoming VIMBY mixtape in freestyle form. If you’re up on your 5-C’s trivia, this will remind you of his classic Pomona-Pitzer bball intro. Ah, the good ol’ days.
If you want to see more of Tunji freestyling, check his appearance on Sound Session a few weeks back. Plus, there may be some more studio footage coming from Greg in a bit…
