New Official Video from THE BLACK EYED PEAS for new single “Ring The Alarm Pt. 1, 2, & 3”:


New Official Video from THE BLACK EYED PEAS for new single “Ring The Alarm Pt. 1, 2, & 3”:

The LA-based collective The Black Eyed Peas, who haven’t performed together since 2011, make their return on their newest video “Ring The Alarm Pt. 1, 2, & 3”.  It’s the 1st single since Fergie’s recent departure from the group.  “Ring The Alarm” is driven by 3 distinct different sets of productions, and squeezes in a bizarre flip of Jack McDuff's jazzy sax from “Summertime” near the end – making this feels less global-experimental-electro, and more of a return to their grassroots underground hip-hop sound.  The video boosts woke rebellious tones; having each member dressed in revolution-commander gear fighting against an industrial goth army, and flashing clips of soldiers marching, Egyptian/Masonic symbols, golden fists, & a ski-masked woman (who isn’t Fergie) singing the hook.  Check it out!

[FREEBIE SUNDAYS]: Static Major's PEN, Career Mix


[FREEBIE SUNDAYS]
{haven't done one of these in a while - this was partially inspired by my homies Nigel​ (for challenging me to look the credits up) & Brandon​ (for reminding me I haven't done a career mix in a long time}

For music collectors out there...
I'd like to welcome yall to our newest download pack,
The "STATIC MAJOR'S PEN" CAREER MIX, clocking in at over 6-hrs & 27-mins! Static, whose real name is Stephen E. Garrett, was an R&B singer, songwriter, ghostwriter, & producer from Louisville, KY - and founding member of the group PLAYA. After his group was signed to Def Jam and they released their debut album 'Cheers 2 U', he began working closely with & learning from producer Timbaland, so much so, that he became one of Tim's in-house reference singers & songwriters. He gained his 1st big career breakthrough in co-producing & co-writing Ginuwine's Platinum-hit "Pony". Since then he became a frequent writer for both Timbaland & Magoo and Aaliyah, even penning his 1st #1 for her, with "Try Again". By 2000, he branched off more into rap and aimed to write & make hooks for legends like Jay-Z, DMX, & Nas. In 2008, he co-wrote his first rap #1 hit with Lil Wayne on "Lollipop", and became instrumental in writing a bulk of radio hits for Pretty Ricky. That same year, during the recording of his own solo album, he unfortunately died young unexpectedly at just 33, from complications during surgery to treat an autoimmune disorder. In a career that only spanned 13 years where he mostly stayed behind the scenes, his wealth & song-credits seem to be respected only by true industry insiders, but he managed to write hits for a who's who of bigger R&B artists. He was definitely talented, ahead of his time, & deserved alot more hype they he received while alive. This mix is my research & testament to him, containing all singles of his & his group's, as well as every larger song he ghostwrote, co-wrote, and/or produced for others. I've attached a graphic of the tracklist & the download LINK is below, so please check it out & enjoy!!!

New Official Video from JUICY J for his new single "Choke Hold"

The Three 6 Mafia-founding, Memphis-vet, Juicy J returns for more club-chaos with the new video "Choke Hold", produced by $uicideboys.  This is the 3rd single from his Jan-2018 mixtape 'ShutDaFukUp'.  This CatchRec-directed vid has a gritty vintage vibe - with it's grainy, VHS-styled, footage of a secret garage; scenes of his crews' chains & tattoos; and blood-dripping stereos.  It's turn-up music but brings that deranged darkness too, that I miss from old 90s-Three 6 Mafia music.  Check it out!

New Official Video from ONYX for new-old single "Wut U Gonna Do?".

Now that they are back on US tour, we finally get visuals to the "new"-old single "Wut U Gonna Do?", which is off ONYX's 2014 indie LP 'Turndafucup'.  Just good old-fashioned grimy NY hip-hop, getting a 'live' video collage treatment ... containing clips of them performing on stage, studio footage, night-driving around NY city, their old school tour promo posters, & their "favorite party favors".  Also notable here, is that this video officially marks the 250th video job from underground rap director Myster DL.  Always good to hear & see ONYX records getting some love.  Check it out!
