Rapper Big Pooh // Augmentation [video]

Tuff...now this is HipHop. Rapper Big Pooh (Little Brother) is back with a brand new album: Words Paint Pictures and a dope visual for "Augmentation" Produced x Apollo Brown. Directed x Jay Brown. "Beat box, this is back to the block/ Before every rapper sold rocks/ Before everybody needed rocks in their watch/ Just watch, now it’s all about board rooms and stocks/ Words paint pictures, I’m an artist non-stop/ Raw beats, raps, this is called hip-hop…" "Sometimes you have to destroy and rebuild in order to augment an idea. Augmentation is me destroying the idea that a lot of young cats have about a career in Hip Hop/Rap. We are trained to look at the exceptions and accept them as the standard. I just wanted to share some real game with up and comers, spectators, and those looking to make their mark." - Rapper Big Pooh Cop on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/words-paint-pictures/id959134547 Visual FX: Paul Mihailoff Mixed: Magnetic @ The Disc Mastered: Eric Morgeson @ Studio A Detroit Label: Mello Music Group About the Album: Lao Tzu claimed that, “Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.” Occasionally, the universe can also stir music from the chambers of the soul. These are the songs tattooed into our memories, torn from headlines and unsettling encounters, intense anthems of immediacy. Soul music. You can hear these eternal truths on Words Paint Pictures—Big Pooh’s debut release for Mello Music Group. Over seven songs and two remixes, the North Carolina MC captures the complex agonies of the human condition—specifically the black experience in America over the last several centuries. These are tales of racial profiling and corrupt politicians, reality TV distractions, thieving preachers and rapacious exploitation—all offset by tremendous strength. They are uniquely American stories, chronicling both the damned and hopeful. From bleak circumstances, a profoundly durable human spirit emerges. While Pooh sketches in vivid detail, Apollo Brown supplies the canvas. The Detroit-via-Grand Rapids alchemist chops classic soul samples and scratches hooks into bangers—head nodding and hard, but still beautiful. The holy trinity of DJ Premier, Pete Rock and J. Dilla supply divine inspiration. As Pooh spits on “Candlelight:” “this is what they call boom-bap/when they try to find what’s in that backpack.” What’s in that backpack is as intangible as the light in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction. It’s a main vein of discontent and mother lode of inspiration. Over a gorgeous antique loop on “Augmentation,” Pooh sketches the duality of the greed-choked world we inhabit, and the sacred feelings he’s bringing back. On “Stop,” he harrowingly chronicles a racist police stop and in the process eulogizes Oscar Grant, Mike Brown, and those exterminated by brutal law enforcement goons. “Promise Land” paints a haunting picture of those “hanging by gold ropes.” The guest list helps buoy Pooh and Apollo’s vision into the third dimension. Rass Kass indicts everyone from the media to Obama for the mess we’re in. Gorgeous and raw hooks come from Steve Roxx and Eric “Blakk Soul” Keith.” L’ Orange contributes a remix and Detroit representative Marv Won exhales fire. But at heart, you return to the words, the pictures, and the complications inherent in the soul. You might have previously known Big Pooh best for his work in Little Brother, but this is the most powerful music he’s ever made. Mining deeply into the personal, he’s created something profound and universal. https://twitter.com/RapperBigPooh https://www.facebook.com/RapperBigPooh1 https://www.facebook.com/ApolloBrown https://twitter.com/ApolloBrown https://twitter.com/MelloMusicGroup

Ken Starr // Say GoodBye [video]

Just spotted this video from an artist I never knew about Ken Starr. Nice visual popped up with a mello Black Milk produced riddim... Told you I'm gonna delve in this whole MMG (not that one) catalog due to the fact I just said that Mello Music Group is slowly becoming the next independent label powerhouse...stay woke! The newest single from Kenn Starr's new album "Square One." Produced by Detroit's Black Milk. Directed by Jay Brown Visual FX by Paul Milhailoff Cop on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/square-one/id941861472 http://twitter.com/kennethcold http://instagram.com/twonztworz http://twitter.com/MelloMusicGroup http://instagram.com/mellomusicgroup http://www.mellomusicgroup.com Sounds Beautiful Like The Truth

Pete Rock // Cosmic Slop [video]

Produced x Pete Rock of course. Directed by Jay Brown & Zack Kashkett From the upcoming album "Petestrumentals 2" coming on Mello Music Group June 23, 2015 Wow! I had no idea that Pete Rock was on Mello Music Group , the home of L'Orange x Oddisee ...Open Mike Eagel etc etc...indie Hip Hop label of the future it looks like...I gotta dig in to their catalog..Gotta be some more dopeness. I'll get back with you on that. Follow Pete Rock : https://twitter.com/peterock Cop #Petestrumentals2 via iTunes: itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/petestrumentals-2/id977868001 Respect the legendary Producer Pete Rock, This is the man who Dilla told, “I wanted to be like you.” Kanye once called himself the “new Pete Rock.” But the original Pete Rock remains permanently vital. The evidence bangs in his latest opus, Petestrumentals 2, the sequel to the 2001 classic that helped define the hip-hop instrumental record. It marks the legend’s first album on Mello Music Group, a fitting union between the author of the boom-bap blueprint and the label that’s expanded upon his legacy. Describing Pete Rock’s productions do them little justice. They resonate in your gut, heart, and brain. The title of one of these beats says it all: “Makes Me Feel Like.” You fill in the blanks based on your personal experience and current mood. Petestrumentals 2 conjures memories of BBQ cookouts and 70s Blaxploitation scores, rattling summer jeep cruises and blunted Jamaican vacations. There’s a gorgeous requiem to Dilla (“Dilla Bounce (R.I.P),” where the originator pays tribute to the prodigy. You see the full range of Rock’s gifts on display: the meticulously chopped horns, unquantized drums, and air raid sirens. It contains the emotion of a thousand eulogies. No record can’t be resurrected. There’s no sub-genre or era that can’t be converted into Rock’s singular brand of soul. His music is the closest thing we’ll ever get to a time-traveling DeLorean, effortlessly shifting between past, present, and future. For the last 20 years, hip-hop heads have argued over the best Pete Rock original productions and remixes. Is it “They Reminisce Over You” or the “Shut ‘Em Down Remix?” Do you prefer Soul Survivor or the first Petestrumentals, his work with INI or the UN? His catalogue can’t be compressed into a bio; you need a book. This is the latest chapter—an even 20 slaps and rhythmic levitations. It’s Pete Rock at his best, accelerating and kicking cosmic slop, extending wishes, hope, love, gritty drums and eternal wonder.

This is so dope...I know I wanted to hear more after I posted "U Made Me" w/ Fab x I saw this black and white visual masterpiece at like 8:00 am this morning on Fader..I had to smoke to it..shower to it..play it some more sent it to my friends and now I'm posting it on Forever Fly <3 Fam her vocal range is incredible Fader compared her to Lauren Hill..and I'm not mad. They said she started out battle rappin' holyshyt! "Lonely people whose broken dreams...slowly became distant memories" <3 The NYC native's lyrics are poignant and you can tell they come from a pure place, because this is her life she found the value in everyday life and people who dont see the value in themselves, which is why its so good. This should be the score to NYC streets. I can't wait to hear her LP "Dedicated To" Produced x Timothy Bloom x William Larsen (who produced (Am I Worong "Nico x Vinz" x NYC super producer Bink (who has too many credits to name but google or take my word for it he's platinum plus)..wow that blew my mind.
