Video: Million $ Mano’s B-Day Party @Superfun Party
Yep. The party was as advertised: pure insanity and elegant debauchery. Mano rang in his (?) birthday in style with some of Chicago’s finest. If you missed it, spend a little time watching this Mike Carson-directed clip and be there next year.
Video: Skooda Chose – Ridiculous
This shit is ridiculous. In the final installment of Skooda’s music visual (“Blackout” & “Chicagorilla” here) series with Anton Genius, the Chosen One rips into No ID & Kanye’s ridiculous instrumental from Diddy’s Last Train To Paris. Who’s messing with Skooda? Below the hop is the Ustream session where Skooda spits this one live and off…
Video: Lid Law – Telephony
Video directed by Jim Quattroki. Track produced by the Produktionix This video definitely had me cheesing most of the way through.

Live from the Soul Shack, ADaD and Rita J work on writing to a new Exile beat, that will be featured on ADaD’s upcoming project with the West Coast producer. ADaD also has a project in the works with Wajeed, which I’m told will be dropping first. Should be an interesting year for AD.
