The Audacity of Dope

THURZ and Cali Martyr showed you can make a twerk friendly banger and still spit on this one, though I do prefer the dirty “God Damn” edit. The video dropped a while ago, but I’ve been sleeping on posting. Still one of my favorite tracks of the year and the visuals just add to the appeal.

The homey Thurz just dropped a new video for “Keep Livin'” featuring Jarell Perry off his upcoming album, Blood On The Canvas.  Produced by Phonix and DJ Khalil and directed by Super Official, the video is…well…super official.  Go head Thurz!

Visuals for the excellent “Hell’s Angels” off Thurz’ equally dope L.A. Riot (side note: RIP Rodney King) project.  BJ’s voice is absolutely ridiculous…does anyone handle harmonies like him these days?

The newest visuals from Yonas, formerly Y-O (1/2 of U-N-I), are for “Punks,” one of my favorite songs from his Lost In Hollywood project.  If you’ve been sleeping, download the whole album for free at YonasMichael.com!

Some fun visuals from a drunken Atlanta night with Thurz, Ro Blvd, and Tomas Whitmore off Ro’s upcoming Heart Pounding Panic album dropping first quarter 2012.  The synths on this track are Jon Brion on Late Registration status type ill.

Inspired by Slum Village’s “Climax,” of course.  Dilla told you later with “Won’t Do” as well.  Shout to all the homies in this one!

It’s moving week, so I’ll keep this short:

• If you missed the video of our recent interviews with Bilal and Yelawolf, be sure to check ’em out on the blog.  Two very different, but very dope, artists.
• If you’re in Seattle, come check out U-N-I performing live at the University of Washington Ethnic Cultural Theater on Wednesday, Dec. 8th (aka…TONIGHT!).  I’ll be DJ’ing and you should remember how live it was last time.  More details here.
• Enjoy the episode of SNSS for new music from T.I., Lloyd Banks, Spragga Benz, Cee Lo, Kendrick Lamar, The Kid Daytona, Curren$y, and many more, plus Neema and Latin Rose joining us live in studio.  A good time was had by all…

I can’t believe I forgot to post up the new video from the homies Y-O and Thurzday when it first dropped, but here’s “Windows” if you haven’t seen it.  I’m not sure if it’s official yet, but a certain group might be coming to a certain city and a certain local DJ might be performing with them in a few weeks…stay tuned.

Here’s U-N-I’s promo video for their hat collaboration with Hella Tight as well:

The homies Y-O and Thurz are back with another video from A Love Supreme 2.0, this time for “Black Sky.”  This might be my favorite Jerome D directed piece yet, and he’s done some dope ones.  ILL.

While on tour with Reflection Eternal (check our interview here) and U-N-I, one of the nicest up and coming MC’s in the game, Laws, stopped by the Sound Session studio to chop it up.  We talked all about his background, linking up with the J.U.S.T.I.CE. League production team, his 4:57 mixtape with Don Cannon, his upcoming Yesterday’s Future project, and more.  Check out the links below for the full interview!
