#LateWidit. Of all the Valentine’s Day drops, this was my favorite. A video for Grieves and Budo’s “Pack It Up,” in which neither Grieves nor Budo actually appear. (Or do they?) (Directed by Mr. Man Of Many Talents, Griff J.)

VIDEO: “Cloud Man” (Grieves & Budo)
The dynamic hip-hop duo, Grieves and Budo, are both a throwback to an earlier era (when the one DJ/one emcee ethic was the common practice in the music), and a conspicuously new school example of the far-reaching influence of hip-hop culture. Grieves (rhymes) and Budo (beats), are an archetypal sampling of how the culture has transcended race and class lines.
VIDEO: “Heaven Only Knows” (A.R.M. ft. Brother Ali)
I know I’ve been all about the videos lately. (Pssst: it’s a tactic this blogger uses when he doesn’t have the time or inspiration to write something of substance, shhh…don’t tell anyone.)
Here’s yet another one: A.R.M.’s video for “Heaven Only Knows.” A.R.M. is based in Minneapolis (M.anifest by way of Ghana, Krukid by Uganda), with the Seattle connect being the production which is by Town-native, Budo. If I were looking to have only one producer handle my debut album (dropping 2015, son!), Budo would be on my shortlist.
(P.S. Just kidding about my debut album. Please, I couldn’t rap my way out of a wet tortilla.)
