Celebrated Group Begin Their "Curtain Call" With First Single From Final Album, LeftBack

The Song:

Critically acclaimed rap duo Little Brother are back and ready to takeover speakers for the final time together with their new album, LeftBack. Dropping on April 20th via Hall of Justus, LeftBack will mark the end of an illustrious career by partners in rhyme Phonte and Rapper Big Pooh. The album features production from the likes of Khyrsis, Denaun Porter, J.Bizness and guest vocals from Torae, Truck North, Jozeemo, Chaundon, Median, and more. The send-off for the North Carolina hip-hop heavyweights begins with the release of “Curtain Call,” the poetically titled first single from LeftBack. Rapper Big Pooh sets the tone for the album by declaring that “this is it, the last monologue / last act in the play, you could say the epilogue.” A booming synth line, driving bass and staccato drum pattern intertwine to provide the backdrop for the occasion, while Phonte drives home the album’s message by rapping “You know we don’t quit / but when it’s curtain call then that’s all you gonna get.” The song “basically sums up the history of our career as Little Brother,” says the duo. “This is the last first single you will hear from Little Brother.”

Fans can expect further announcements from Little Brother, including tour info and other interesting developments on LeftBack’s road to the release.

The Background:

It all began with a thundering baseline and an unmistakably classic phrase – “this or that.” One of the most widely recognized songs in rap music history, the 1991 classic “The Choice is Yours” was hailed by VH1 in 2008 as one of the best rap songs of all time. The highly respected Queens emcee Dres, along with DJing partner-in-crime William “Mista Lawnge” McLean took the music industry by storm in the early 1990’s as part of the groundbreaking collective Native Tongues. Penning such Billboard standouts as “Flavor of the Month” and “Strobelight Honey” for the duo’s platinum-selling debut album A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing in 1992, Dres would continue to crank out the hits on the group’s second release, Non Fiction. After a brief reunion with Mister Lawnge in 2000, Dres again set his sights on recording. He released the innovative online-only album 8WM/Novakane in 2007. Now he’s back in the studio, writing the next chapter of his storied career. Dres’ highly anticipated new project, From the Black Pool of Genius, out Spring 2010, promises to pair thought-provoking lyrics with astounding beats constructed by a corps of new and established beatmakers. They include Bean One, Showbiz, Tough Junkie, P. Locke, Urban Soul Music Group, and Willie Evans. He’s also got an impressive line-up of guest stars, including De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Rhymefest, AZ, and Tough Junkie, among others. Leading up to the release of his next full-length, Black Sheep have released a precursor EP, From The Black Pool Of Genius: The Prelude, available now. From The Black Pool Of Genius will be available on April 6th.

TRUTHLiVE Speaks Out Against Apathy, Complacency With New Track From The UnLearning EP

The Song:

MC, producer, DJ, Interdependent Media owner, and all around hip-hop renaissance man TRUTHLiVE is back with “Broken,” the third leak from his soon-to-be released pre-album EP, The UnLearning. While the previous two releases from the EP found TRUTHLiVE targeting lackluster MCs with potent rhymes, “Broken” instead serves as the definitive expression of TRUTHLiVE’s contempt and disgust with all things wrong with the world today. Weaving his rhymes of protest against, what he refers to as, “the apathy and complacency of society in general,” TRUTHLiVE poignantly expresses the theme throughout the song’s lyrically twisting bars. Set against a hard-hitting beat courtesy of The ARE (De La Soul, Masta Ace, EMC), TRUTHLiVE raps, “Fiending for the meaning while we seeded from the semen of demons that are breathing in heathen’s paradise/ I’m seething ’cause I’m seeing a brand new kind of reason for the treason they have committed in the name of the Christ.” “The message of the song is to care,” exclaims TRUTHLiVE. “Pay attention to what’s going on and take control of your part in the whole. Things may be ‘Broken’ now, but they can certainly be fixed. Individual accountability and responsibility is what leads to change.”

As the owner and founder of Bay Area record label Interdependent Media, TRUTHLiVE has helped promote the careers of artists such as Tanya Morgan, Finale, J*DaVeY, and more. His full-length debut album, Patience, produced entirely by Jake One, will be available April 20, 2010 via Interdependent Media.

“Broken” Prod. By The ARE – http://media.audibletreats.com/TRUTHLiVE-Broken.mp3

The Background:

Evan “TRUTHLiVE” Phillips, owner and founder of Interdependent Media, has certainly made his mark in the music industry with his wide range of talents. As an emcee, DJ, entrepreneur, and artist, TRUTHLiVE has had his hands in everything from a very young age. After a traumatic adolescent period where his health was at risk, three heart surgeries proved the artist to be quite a fighter. He explains to his new listeners, “The name TRUTHLiVE doesn’t mean that I’m proclaiming myself as the truth, end-all be-all; it’s more of a reminder to myself on how to conduct my life and career.” The MC best summates, “My music is my truth and my life.” That meaningful music will arrive on April 20th in the form of Patience, TRUTHLiVE’s debut release, courtesy of Bay Area label Interdependent Media.

About Interdependent Media:

Founded in 2006 in the Bay Area by Evan Phillips, Interdependent Media has built unique strengths in the development, production, and marketing of recorded music via new methods of marketing and promotion. Armed with a comprehensive understanding of both traditional and emerging methods of marketing, iM has successfully created multi-faceted methods of raising awareness and interest in their projects. Industry veterans Ian “ID” Davis and Dominic Del Bene head operations at iM and are credited with discovering and/or developing artists such as 9th Wonder, Little Brother, Tanya Morgan, Blackalicious, Del the Funky Homosapien, the Hieroglyphics and more.

Legendary MC Recruits Impressive Roster Of Guests For Full Length Album

(February 18, 2010 – Brooklyn, NY) With his first proper full length album since 2006, Dres of the legendary Queens outfit Black Sheep is gearing up to once again command the airwaves with the April 6th release of his highly anticipated album, From The Black Pool Of Genius. In an effort to holdover his insatiable fans while finishing up the LP, Dres released the five song EP, From The Black Pool Of Genius: The Prelude to much fanfare in December. The EP served as a promising precursor of what fans can expect from the upcoming album, and since its release Dres has been hard at work in the lab perfecting his sound.

Unlike The Prelude, The From The Black Pool Of Genius LP finds Dres enlisting a handful of his hip-hop brethren to elevate the album to the next level. “I would say the major difference [between The Prelude and LP] is the entourage of songs on the LP come with many guests which brings a nice variety to the spices already being served” says Dres. Production duties are handled by Paten Locke, Tough Junkie, BeanOne, ShowBiz, the Beatnuts, and Urban Soul Group, producers of “Forever LuvLee,” the only hold over track from the EP, all of who manage to season some new flavor onto the songs while keeping right in tune with Dres’ signature sound. The album also boasts performances from lyrical heavyweights AZ, Rhymefest, and Jean Grae, who are all on hand to drop notable guest verses and showcase their verbal dexterity, as well as an appearance from P&V, who provide an R&B touch for the project. A rare Native Tongue’s bonus track featuring Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest, Dave of De La Soul and Mike G of the Jungle Brothers rounds out Dres’ sonic serving of genius.

As one of the most respected and insightful voices in music today, Dres is using the album as means of communicating his beliefs about the meaning of hip-hop. “I once heard a poet say that ‘hip hop backward is ‘pih poh (people)’- the way I see it, many artists are a lot more hip-hop than they ever realized.” As for the album title, Dres explains that, “Black Pool doesn’t refer to black people. It refers to the color black’s unique ability to absorb light. This deep, vast pool of soul, of artistic insight; although it’s not always understood, the light it reflects back to the ‘pih-poh’ is necessary.” Hip-hop heads are ready and anxiously awaiting to see the light. Dres’ From The Black Pool of Genius full length will be available April 6th.

Also, be sure to catch Dres in action as he hits the stage with Serius Jones, Shinobi Ninja and Peter Hadar at Mexicali Live tonight, February 18 at 7:30PM. Located at 1409 Queen Anne Road in Teaneck, NJ, the venue promises to deliver an electrifying genre-spanning night of sounds from the worlds of hip-hop, punk rock and electronica.

Check out, “I Wanna Rock,” the first of Dres’ Hot Track Of The Week series, which will feature Dres spitting a 16 over current instrumentals: http://media.audibletreats.com/Dres-I_Wanna_Rock_Freestyle.mp3

Jern Eye Teams Up With Legendary Pharcyde To Remix Vision's Lead Single

The Song:

Following the success of Jern Eye’s lead single, “Get Down,” as well as the song’s energetic video, the Bay Area emcee is proud to release the official remix for the club-oriented single. The “Get Down Remix,” featuring fellow California natives and hip-hop legends, The Pharcyde, offers a fresh breath to a song already considered a fan favorite by many. While the basic elements of a James Brown sample and a raw, acoustic drumbeat, courtesy of fellow MYX Music Label producer duo Keelay & Zaire, remain untouched, the addition of such a talented and well-known group pushes the track to a new level, highlighting The Pharcyde’s effortless energy and flair alongside a brand new verse from Jern full of confident braggadocio. “A little sick, so the talk’s slick,” begins Jern, chiming in later, “No antics, the rep’s so massive/ I ain’t no joke, no game, no slapstick.” Working with The Pharcyde was a pleasure for Jern, whose own style is continuously inspired by the west coast legends’ fluidity and power. “The Pharcyde has always been one of my favorite hip-hop groups,” says Jern. “The energy and fun they put into their music has inspired a lot of what I do in my own music, so it was only natural to get them on board to do a remix for ‘Get Down’. I felt like the song was perfect for them, and would really bring out that animated energy they’re known for.”

Jern Eye’s sophomore album, Vision, is now available via MYX Music Label.

The Background:

Los Angeles native Jern Eye began crafting his skills early on at freestyle battles in famous L.A. clubs. Jern formed the staple west coast group, Lunar Heights, with friend and fellow emcee Spear Of The Nation shortly after high school, and the group eventually migrated north to Oakland to join the Bay Area’s flourishing independent hip-hop scene. Once in the Bay, the group was joined by Khai Sharrieff as they began making a name for themselves opening for a number of well known groups, including Crown City Rockers, The Pharcyde, The Procussions, and more. The group subsequently released their solo effort, Crescent Moon, to high acclaim. Jern followed three years later with his solo debut, Authentic Vintage, in 2006, and toured with Hieroglyphics and Living Legends as a result of the album’s success. Jern Eye’s sophomore album, Vision, features production from !llmind, Jake One, Keelay & Zaire, DJ Vinroc, Def Supreme, Phil Jahns, and Artek, and collaborations with artists Cali Agents, Mistah F.A.B., Zion I, Guilty Simpson, Nightclubber Lang, and more looks to make the case for Jern’s upward movement as a legitimate hip-hop talent on a national level. Vision is available now via MYX Music Label.

Town Techno Pack Leaders Release New Track From Upcoming Compilation Project, Invasion Vol. 1

The MP3:

Fresh off the Dope Winter Ball Tour alongside Tash of The Alkoholiks, League510 is back with their latest leak, the fun and catchy “In My Face (Womp Womp).” Hailing from the Bay Area, the group is quickly making a name for themselves as the leaders of the burgeoning Town Techno movement. Off their upcoming compilation project, Invasion Vol. 1, “In My Face (Womp Womp)” puts that sound on display, showing off the lighter side of the rising Bay Area foursome.

Taking a comedic turn, the track tells the story of a clingy girl who only hangs around League510 for the limelight. “The song is about drunk, loud-mouthed, annoying, chicken-head, jocking, gold-digging, groupie type chicks getting all in your face because they recognize you while you’re out minding your own business,” the group explains. “Its really more of a spoof. A joke in good spirit to diss those types of girls.” The Charlie Brown-inspired “Womp Womps” and the call-and-response female voice keep the song light even as the group throws some pretty harsh zingers at the groupies of the world, and the track’s pounding distorted drumbeat and deep synth – a staple of the Town Techno sound – will undoubtedly keep feet moving as the foursome of TK, Mont, Mr. Knowitall, and DJ Blacksmith give their take on the sort of hanger-on we could all do without.

League510 will be releasing Invasion Vol. 1 in the coming months, while the group’s Clear Label Records debut, To The Beat, will be released Spring 2010.

Emcees TK, Mont, Mr. Knowitall and DJ Blacksmith better known as League510 are pioneers of a sound that is all their own, Town Techno. With a sound that is out of this world, League510’s musical journey began in a galaxy far away from ours. After traveling the universe for years, they entered our galaxy and our planet shortly thereafter. With sights on our world, the quartet chose to land in the hills east of Oakland, CA. After hiding their ship deep in the hills they approached this new town with great curiosity and were immediately amazed by the vibrant culture that they found. Adopting the Bay Area scene as their new home, League510 wasted no time in beginning their new musical journey here in our world. Using advanced abilities, the four emcees quickly mastered the art of sound and gave birth to Town Techo, a form of music that would unite the people in heightened awareness; to show them to take action, to appreciate the fun in life, to believe in themselves and to believe in The League.

spacer The FOnkified Hip-Hop Duo Celebrate Their Digital Album Release Date And Bring Along Some Friends For Their New Single

In celebration of the digital release of their new LP, Georgia & Declaime are proud to release a brand new single from SomeOthaShip, “Heaven Or Hell.” Produced by Georgia Anne Muldrow, the track features Black Milk as well as the legendary Kool G Rap and Long Beach MC LMNO, each personifying one of the many layers between heaven and hell. Mello Music Group founder and owner Michael Tolle explains, “I wanted to create a track that showed two extreme perspectives – Kool G Rap doing his Gangster/Drug Lord/Pimp thing while Declaime & Georgia did their righteous preacher thing.” He continues, “However, LMNO came with the most positive message out of the bunch. In the middle, Black Milk did his thing to perfection. Thus the ‘Heaven Or Hell’ title.”

The track begins eerily with the chorus as LMNO raps, “It’s a balance of life / Darkness and light / We’re giving choice for you / Choose right.” As the bass-heavy, unsettling background sets in, the resonating lyrics challenge what is supposedly good in the world as Kool G Rap, LMNO, Black Milk, and finally Georgia & Declaime take turns laying out their own take on heaven and hell in its various forms. Georgia defends the honor of a higher power through Africa as she raps, “She hold the world together forever / If she fall, we fall / Subject to complete and total recall.” However, she continues that the world is a corrupt place, “Street soldiers used to have honor / Now they walk around hungry and listless.” Declaime follows Georgia’s powerful lines, and as the two trade lines over Georgia’s dark production – Georgia’s sultry rhymes against Declaime’s unorthodox rhythms – the juxtaposition of the two vocals, both in sound and lyric, drive home the song’s heaven or hell theme.

To celebrate the February 23rd physical release date for SomeOthaShip, Georgia & Declaime will be performing a handful of shows, in addition to an in-store meet-and-greet at Fat Beats, New York:

February 23rd at Fat Beats, New York – In-Store –; 6:00pm – 7:00pm
February 23rd at SOBs in New York City – Doors @ 7:30pm, Show @ 9:00pm
February 24th at Liv in Washington D.C. – Doors @ 7:00pm, Show @ 8:00pm
February 25th at The Arts Garage in Philadelphia – Doors @ 8:30pm

SomeOthaShip is available at all digital retailers today.

The Background:

In a world made of plastic, Georgia Anne Muldrow & Declaime (AKA Dudley Perkins) breathe. Georgia radiates light into the west coast hip-hip scene with her vocal mixture of social revolution and raw street wisdom. Her choruses echo the voices of yesterday while her beats explore the cosmic sounds of tomorrow. Having already worked with the likes of Erykah Badu, Mos Def, and Madlib, Georgia finds herself taking a well-deserved turn in the spotlight and ready to keep up her collaborative efforts in 2010. Declaime is a veteran to the hip-hop game, with a voice that overflows with bluesy, syncopated veracity. Characterized by his impossible range and stirring cadence, Declaime has the ability to captivate with the unmistakable sound of experience, breathing a spiritual wind back into the funked out vibrations of hip-hop. Combined, Georgia & Declaime have created an impressive catalog of work including Georgia’s Worthnothings, Umsindo, and Kings Ballad, plus Declaime’s Conversations With Dudley, A Lil Light, Expressions, and Holy Smokes. SomeOthaShip is available now digitally via Mello Music Group.

Next Stop On The Road: Kansas With A Stik Figa Twist

Critical Praise for Diamond District:

“If Diamond District is any indication, DMV really does have what Oddisee refers to as ‘the hottest edition of what you’ve been missing.’” – HipHopDX.com

“On ‘Back To Basics,’ the MCs liken themselves to the ‘93 version of De La Soul. While it’s a bit too early to go that far, Diamond District comes close.” – PrefixMag.com

“In the Ruff (Mello Music Group) recalls hip-hop from yesteryear (and sometimes Slum Village at their best), but remains quite forward thinking nonetheless… Simultaneously thoughtful and rugged, intelligent and funky, Diamond District have created an excellent album that will hopefully fly way above the radar as 2010 approaches.” – LostAtSea.net

The Song:

The multi-talented emcee and producer Oddisee is back to the boom-bap with his “Kansas Bay (South Central Remix)”. After finding success with the celebrated Diamond District crew, Oddisee has stepped back out on his own with a new 24-track instrumental album, Traveling Man. Inspired and informed by his journeys to Australia, Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America, Oddisee has captured the sounds of hip-hop the world over on Traveling Man, out now digitally and available as a limited edition vinyl pressing on February 23rd. The sonic voyage continues with the “Kansas Bay (South Central Remix)” featuring Kansas City native, Stik Figa. The Midwest meets the West Coast in this re-imagining, which finds Stik Figa riding the wave of a beat steeped in G-funk and dripping with bass best suited for a low rider. As Oddisee explains, “Bay Area hip-hop has been popular in Kansas for years, and Stik Figa uses a Too $hort-esque flow to tell the comedic story of an out-of-towner’s unfortunate luck on ‘Kansas Bay’.” Prepare yourself for your sonic travels, and let Oddisee guide you on this aural adventure from the heartland to the left coast and back again.

Oddisee’s Traveling Man is available digitally via Mello Music Group.

Background:

Since producing and performing the hit track “Musik Lounge” for DJ Jazzy Jeff’s Magnificent LP, Amir “Oddisee” Mohamed has pushed his involvement in the music industry into fifth gear. Taking advantage of working at A Touch of Jazz studios, Oddisee has incorporated the neo soul vibe of Philly into his eclectic and well-decorated resume. Coming from a diverse background, the half Sudanese, half African-American was blessed with musical talent from both sides of his family. Oddisee was influenced by the accomplished singers, guitarists, and poets on his Sudanese side, and on his American side, by the gospel singers, blue grass guitar players, and older cousins who gave him his first taste of hip-hop. Ironically, though, it was his Sudanese father that gave Oddisee the vinyl that fueled his passion for producing hip-hop music.

Since turning his focus towards hip-hop, Oddisee has worked with the likes of Gary Shider of Parliament and Funkadelic, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Talib Kweli, J-Live, Little Brother, Freeway, Flying Lotus, and many other respected recording artists. Now signed with Mello Music Group, Oddisee continues to be one of the hardest working producer/emcees in hip-hop, preparing to release an instrumental project, a solo project, a second Diamond District album, full album production for Finale, Trek LIfe, and Stik Figa, and is executive producing a handful of other projects. With his incredibly distinctive and mesmerizing style, Oddisee covers just about every sect of hip-hop music, creating a sound that is appealing to all music lovers. Born in Washington D.C. and raised in Maryland, Oddisee and his “Low Budget” crew, including such hip hop artists and producers as Kev Brown, Kenn Starr, and his group Diamond District (XO and yU) have already managed to leave their mark on the hip-hop community and the D.C. metropolitan area.

Bay Area Emcee Preps Debut LP With New Hustler Anthem, Sits Down For Two-Part Interview With 24KMilkCrate.com The Song: Back with the fourth and final pre-album track before the release of his SWTBRDSdebut, The Day The Turf Stood Still (March 9th),DaVinci aka J. DaVinciswiftly delivers another strong offering, “Hustler’s Theme,” to hold us over until he begins releasing the first songs and videos from his album in the coming weeks. Sticking with a golden formula, DaVinci once again links up with Vancouver producer and frequent collaborator Blunt (Freeway, Edgar Alan Floe, J-Love) who brings his trademark smooth, soulful chops to the track the perfect contrasting backdrop to DaVinci’s raspy vocals and the lyrical landscapes the Bay Area MC effortlessly paints. Speaking of those landscapes, on “Hustlers Theme” DaVinci skillfully performs his as-usual impressive balancing act between tough talk and enlightenment, mixing in a heavy dose of street science while the underlying tones of DaVinci’s lyrics touch on the importance of education in attaining financial stability. “Whether you hustle or work a job, there are dos and donts that everyone should have as part of their business etiquette,” says DaVinci. While avoiding the preachy-ness known to drag down so many songs with a message, DaVinci still manages to deliver a strong message for those that dont have the best education but still run the streets with dreams of financial comfort. “I wanted to convey to them that they could [still] reach these financial goals if they abide by the rules of ‘The Hustlers Theme’.” DaVinci’s The Day The Turf Stood Still will be available for free download March 9th via SWTBRDS Creative Collective. “Hustler’s Theme” (Prod. By Blunt): http://media.audibletreats.com/DaVinci-Hustlers_Theme_Prod_By_Blunt.mp3 Also, check out DaVinci’s two-part sit down interview with the west coast’s own 24kMilkCrate.com as DaVinci speaks on the forthcoming The Day The Turf Stood Still, where he finds his inspiration, and discusses a few key tracks from the album. 24KMilkCrate.com TV: DaVinci Interview Pt. 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJVELfOPNA0 24KMilkCrate.com TV: DaVinci Interview Pt. 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uLGeNy9dS0 For more information on DaVinci please contact Michelle or Dan at Audible Treats. The Background: The Fillmore District has bred more rappers per capita than any other district in San Francisco, and although the older generations recall its rich musical history rooted in Jazz, the Fillmore today is rife with drugs, turf wars, and mass gentrification. DaVinci, a young MC raised in the Fillmore, is a prime example of the duality of this area, who at the age of 13 was homeless, hungry, and hopeful for a way out. Explains DaVinci, “My music has everything to do with my environment: from robbing, killing, pimpin’ to selling and abusing drugs,” he explains about his heavy content. “It’s a direct reflection of what my friends and family have been through and are still going through.” While his story is similar to many other young rappers upbringings, DaVinci was surrounded by an incredible pool of Fillmore talent and by studying with the greats, he was able to sharpen his skills and aim higher than most, cultivating his story-telling abilities beyond mere drug-and-gun-talk. Growing up in the same 10-block radius as Bay Area rap legends San Quinn and JT the Bigga Figga, DaVinci was content in merely watching the next generation follow in their footsteps, until he received overwhelming praise from his peers from a mixtape appearance, which then prompted him to pursue rap professionally. In 2006, San Quinn welcomed him onto the “Pressure Makes Diamonds Tour” with rap veterans Xzibit and Tech N9ne. Since the tour, DaVinci has kept busy appearing on numerous mixtapes and compilations, as well as preparing his official debut album, The Day The Turf Stood Still. The Day The Turf Stood Still will be available March 9, 2010 via SWTBRDS Creative Collective.

Bisco Illustrates Escape Music With Visuals For New Video

The Video:

Bisco Smith’s new video for the single “Vibrations” embodies the song’s hard-hitting drumbeat and heavy bass with an edgy, art-oriented twist. Teaming up with director/producer Michael Vidoli for the project not only produced great results, but for Bisco it was an organic fit. “Vidoli was familiar with my graphic style and my aesthetic when I design,” says Bisco “He pitched the black and white idea and the strong graphic look – naturally I was down.” While Vidoli served as the brain and conductor of the video, the man behind the camera was an old friend of Bisco’s, Quenell “Q” Jones. Bisco and Q worked together back in the day shooting their first music video, and, according to Bisc, “10 plus years later, due to Vidoli, we reunited in front of the green screen, it’s kinda ill on a universal connections level.” After Vidoli and Q shot clips of Bisco performing the track, the singer/songwriter put his artistic training to work by editing and incorporating most ofgraphic design elements himself, resulting in a collaborative product that brings Bisco’s stomping grounds to life with imagery and ingenuity.

The video, shot in black and white, centers on Bisco Smith as he smoothly moves between club performances and the city streets. Bisco describes “Vibrations” as escape music saying that, “the song is about having a good time, forgetting the everyday same old same and finding the moment through the music and those vibrations.” The video itself escapes the norm and finds itself in a constant state of flux, as images frenetically fade in and out, and snapshots both imagined and real overlap and intersect in an aesthetic dance. Imaginative visual aids are also abound, as the graffiti finds itself mirroring Bisco’s rhymes at times, leading to a call and response between Bisco’s own rhymes and the video’s graphics rooted in the elements of hip-hop. “The video is a styled out version of the sound,” says Bisco. This is certainly style that should not be missed.
