"Lost Beats Volume 1" by Memorecks

Here's a cool video of Toronto producer, Memorecks, breaking it down on the MPC 1000. It's 11 minutes and features several beats, performed live. Check it out!

"Rock The Bells Cypher" ft. G-Mo Skee, Demrick, Thurz & Cashis

TeamBackPack just dropped this new cypher featuring four very talented emcees rippin' the mic at Rock the Bells. Check it.

"Chainsaw" by Madchild ft. Slaine [Music Video]

"Break into a fit, little Incredible Hulk/
My lyrics' bullets riddle you with metal assault/
Listen up bitch, I can spit a mouthful/
Turn it up until my voice is blaring through your household/"

Ye yea. Madchild dropped some new visuals for this track from Lawnmower Man featuring Slaine. He put a bit more effort into this video than usual, and this one has a little plot to it before it gets started. I still haven't heard this album, but this track is raw. Check it.

Government Whistleblower Exposes MK Ultra Pt. 1 & 2 ["Who Killed Hip Hop" by Prince EA]

Alright, so I'm a little confused with this one myself. About a week ago, I seen this first video of this Robert Connors guy, claiming to have inside information about the government's secret plan to fuck with black people's minds by tainting mainstream hip hop music. Watch the videos now and I'll continue below.

So yeah. We now see that this whole situation has been used to market Prince Ea's latest single which is based on the same idea. I thought it was pretty dope and he chose a clever way to gain a reaction from people. So now I'm just wondering about Robert Connors. He seemed pretty serious bout his shit. Was this all some fictional work to push a new Prince Ea single? I'd feel bad for him if he's actually serious and wants to release some top secret info. Haha we'll have to wait and see.

"Don't Shoot" by Chamillionaire

"The other day, I heard my mother say she had a dream that the president would take us to a world war/
I heard somebody else say, 'when it does happen, then hopefully they'll put it up on WorldStar'/
Murdah, Zimmerman hopped in his car then he swerved off/
Murdah, crazy how the world will hit you with a curve ball/"

Fuck yeah. Chamillionaire dropped this gem today, givin' the fans something to think about. Keepin' the flow and rhymes on point, he spits his analysis of the state of current situations. Not sure if this is from a project or not, but if it is I'll eventually end up posting more info. Check it.

"Seven Chakras" by CES Cru [Music Video]

"What's beautiful, what's good to you/
What's worth the process it puts you through/
Can't shake the pain on the day to day,
It all fades away when I look at you/"

I'm a lil disappointed in how this video turned out, but that's because this is one of my favourites from "Constant Energy Struggles". I felt like a video for this song coulda used a theme or an idea. Maybe there is one and I just can't figure it out, who knows. I think the lighting of the colours they used were all associated with the seven chakras, but I coulda thought of that. Lol maybe I'm hatin' cuz my expectations, as a fan, were too high. Dope song regardless. Check it.

"Audio Barricade" by Prozak

"Sometimes I really think I'm losin it, I don't really know what I would do without the therapy of music/

Therapeutic, no substitute it, can't erase the pain but sure helps subdue it/

Helps me to get through, dismiss my issues, gives me a lift to a place that's less blue/

Sort of like a force field that protects you, audio barricade I suggest you..."

 

I thought this song and video were really cool after I just returned to school cuz I definitely know about turning about that audio barricade. No matter what's going on in your life, I know throwing on them headphones can be a life saver. We gotta take the power of sound more seriously. Just like Prozak says at the end "Turn it up, watch it all just fade away."
