This is a promo for Mikkey’s upcoming ‘Leader of the New Cool’ show in LA on January 26th.  Also featured on the bill are Curren$y, L.E.P. Bogus Boys, and others.  This little promo is interesting for the simple fact that Mikk talks about ALL of his upcoming projects – including the Photo Album, Darkroom and…

Remember when I posted No ID’s HipHopDX “Producer of the Year” interview a short while back? Well, in said interview No ID mentioned he was working with former Verve frontman, Richard Ashcroft, on his upcoming project. Well, here we have the debut video from Rich, and the track just so happens to be produced by…

Some of these “interaction” scenes are hilarious. See :35 in. Anyhoo, The Primeridian get some shine in the pilot for a new program entitled, Keeping Success Pure. I’m not sure whether this was made for TV or vocational school classes, but I’ll add this: I like that female host and Prime’s performance was dope and polished….

No McDonald’s tagline. Here’s a brand new remix from MP featuring Pugslee, F.A.B. & Neak Mulatto Patriot feat. Pugs Atomz, F.A.B.L.E. & Neak – “Luvin It” (Remix)

This cover art is under the Peter Gabriel “Sledgehammer” act. G (of Simply the Best) feat. Fooch – “Overdose”

The directorial debut of RH’s Virgil Solis , with Tony Shane handling the editing duties. Nice work, fellas. For the “Respect the Art” video we brought it back home to Chicago. Scheme’s first video “Chicano” represented his home away from home, this one here represents where he was born and raised. Mostly shot in the neighborhood…

This video is dope.  However, it’s always a “scratching my head” moment when a video so dope is done over an industry beat, which pretty much kills any chance of it getting run on MTV Jams or other music video outlets. Previously: 4-Ize – Illuminated Animals [Mixtape]
