VIDEO: “Off The Block” – Mo’ Money
“Plus they only wanna interview who winnin'”. Ain’t that the truth, though. New clip from LakeHouse Entertainment, off Mo’ Money’s Everybody Needs A Little Mo’ Money, due January 14. Splash.
VIDEO: “Jump In” – Sol (Live at the Showbox)
Some tight footage from Sol’s recent sold-out performance at the Showbox. “Jump In” is the track; Stephan Gray behind the lens. Grab Sol’s latest EP, Eyes Open, here. And catch him on tour with Zion I all throughout January and February.
NEW MUSIC: The Methadone Musical – Nottus Tre
Nottus Tre is all rugged nonchalance. “Street rap” (quotations mine) from the west side of the West Seattle Bridge. This young rapper won’t win any awards for cordiality but his Methadone Musical surely isn’t about that. Rather it’s “the life” that gets attended to: his paper, his people, his girl (er, make that your girl), and fuck boys are of primary concern. Alki Beach is surely picturesque but who said it was always pretty? Smoke DZA, Fatal Lucciauno and Glasses Malone lend like-minded perspective on TMM.
VIDEO: “Personal Party” – Thaddeus David (dir. by Matt Verzola)
Thaddeus David dropped the dreamy new visuals for his track “Personal Party” off the MoorThanLess mixtape.
VIDEO: “Am I Crazy?” – The Physics (feat. Alisha Roney; dir. by Zia Mohajerjasbi)
Heads will turn and nod upon the release of Digital Wildlife, the new album from The Physics — set your calendar reminders for December 13. The group has billed the record’s heavy electronic influences as a deviation from their normal sound, but I respectfully disagree. It’s true that early drops like “Am I Crazy?” and “Fix You” are variations in sonics, but the whole of Digital Wildlife retains that classic Physics composure heads have become accustomed to over the course of four stellar albums now. I think you could make the argument that they’ve been moving in this direction for a while. DW is The Physics trying on a new vibe but finding that it already fits like a perfectly tailored suit. “Deviation” is the wrong word; “evolution” is more accurate.
NEW MUSIC: Kings Only – Perry Porter
You might know Perry Porter as one half of Sleep Steady, the enigmatic duo that’s been making underground noise around Town for the last five years or so. Kings Only is Perry’s new solo EP and the rapper sounds the most self-assured he’s ever been. Vocal comparisons to Jay Z are a little lazy but not completely out of bounds (from a superficial standpoint anyway). Nay, Perry Porter seems like that rare cat who marches to the beat of his own inner metronome — definitely one to watch. Kings Only features production by the Supreme Sound Architects (BlackMic x The1storn x DJ Semaj).
VIDEO: “The Making of Eyes Open” – Sol (presented by City Arts)
On the strength of his recent Eyes Open EP (and a very dedicated local fan base), Sol packed out the Showbox at the Market last Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving — that’s no small task. City Arts collaborated with the rapper for this short documentary piece on the making of Eyes Open.
VIDEO: “Carry On” – Sonny Bonoho (dir. by Artistic Outlet)
Another You’re-Crazy-For-This-One! clip from Seattle court jester and verbal acrobat Sonny Bonoho. “Carry On”, the track, was produced by Trox.
