MarQ Spekt: Danger

Friday, October 5th, 2012

MarQ Spekt takes a turn at directing a music video for one of his tracks from the MacheteVision project and dude makes what I call a classic Hip-Hop video.

I love ‘Spekt’s imagery of the NYC streets, structures, graffiti and gangsters. This is an AWESOME video. Watch it several times.

A LETTER FROM THE MGMT…

Thursday, September 27th, 2012

All is well my good Internets. I had a choice between paying my server fees and paying my cellphone bill so I choose the server fees. Now you don’t have to ask me where the website is, but some of you will have to ask me why my phone is cut off. Cie la vie. Life is good.

I feel like I’m at a particular crossroads for this new year and I’m trying to assess how to best use my knowledge and skillset to allow me to continue living my lifestyle. It might appear that I have my shit figured out, but I don’t mind telling y’all the truth that this is all smoke and mirrors.

Yeah, I’m in St. Ma’arten with Chocolate Snowflake for the new year, and please don’t think I take this shit for granted, but what am I gonna do when I get back to NYC? Am I gonna be doing the same shit everyday? Hell the fux no. I’m not even going to be here on the regulack anymore. You want a password to post drops on the site? Holla. The server fees are paid up until September 1st, 2013.

You’ll have at least that long to get your point across (provided the Mayan calendar was incorrect about armageddon). I’m just gonna use the space to promo moves I’m making. No more lifestyle drops featuring outfit architecture or sneaker fiends unite new shoe reviews. I been did all that already and I need to make a new lane in this game.

We all know that Sean Price’s next album drops at the end of October and that Roc Marciano’s Reloaded is being released in November. If you need me to tell you any of this shit you prA’Li don’t even know what dope Hip-Hop sounds like and I don’t mean to offend you but I DON’T think you know what dope sounds like if you didn’t copp Killer Mike’s ‘R.A.P. Music’.

This was never a rap music blog tho’, and I really don’t care what music you like to listen to. Killer Mike or Kid Cudi. Whatever makes YOU happy man. Just don’t bother me with the shit you think is fresh. Go start your own blog to talk that shit. Or take this password and post drops over here if you are so inclined. Just don’t tell me what to do and we will be cool. My life is good.

J-Love x Coroner: King Piranhas

Monday, September 10th, 2012

J-Love has been grooming Coroner for his emergence as a hardcore rap superpower for several years now. You heard Coroner flex his lyrical muscles on Meyhem Lauren’s ‘Respect The Fly Shit’. J-Love turns him loose on this track with two razor sharp verses.

J-Love’s ‘Most Interesting Man Alive‘ is on the internets streets

MarQ Spekt: Broken Mazes

Saturday, September 8th, 2012

MarQ Spekt went left right after the ‘MacheteVision’ project and hit a home-run. Broken Mazes is ‘Spekt’s cerebral flow over instrumentals from Gary Wilson.

When I was in Atlanta I had a chance to burn it down with ‘Spekt and listen to the project. I’m a let ‘Spekt speak on his project…

“A little teaser for the upcoming Broken Mazes EP. This record is a collaborative between myself and experimental, proto-new wave musician Gary Wilson(Stones Throw)

It’s rare that you get the opportunity to work with the actual artist rather than just sampling the record. Gary opened his vaults and provided ample soundscapes

Some of these instrumentals dating back to 1973 may have been heard before. Others may not. The ending result is a pure creative expression and meshes Hip Hop, Psychedelic, Jazz, Funk…

Soak up the vibrations and Enjoy!”
