@EzkoBarz - $truggle Rap$
Ezko has just released his newest single, "$truggle Rap$", as a prerequisite to his upcoming project, Coming of Age.
Born in Cameroon, Ezko is a Washington DC-area (DMV) hip-hop artist
with strong artistic values and a passion for creative evolution.
Ezko's previous 2014 releases, "What You Make It" and "Temple of Mind",
have already received exceptional acclaim and recognition throughout
the blog-o-sphere. Ezko delivers powerful anthems reminiscent of 90's
hardcore, with philosophic elements that have become so common in the
lyrical content of today's "Beast Coast" hip-hop. He owns his style to
the fullest, with little need to cite artistic influences.
@kageeheh - Slow it Down (Official Music Video) with Lyrics
Kage Eheh is an indie hip hop artist and producer. His family came
from Jamaica to Washington D.C. where he was born. The influence of
reggae combined with growing up in Maryland and being exposed to
everything from boombap to rock helped him develop a very eclectic and
diverse sound. Referred to by most as "Outside of the box", The ability
to play different instruments and produce his own songs gives him the
freedom to make what he wants when he wants. According to him "It's
almost like I have different personalities. People think because you act
one way you can't another way. It's stupid, there are different sides
to people. One day I'm feeling one way the next day I'm feeling another.
I'm a real person just like anyone else and my music reflects that. I'm
not gonna make the same songs over and over. One day I might wanna
party next day I might wanna read a book. It's just real life".
Ironically this self-produced single is about the
inner fight, the constant back and fourth battle between those different
personalities. One side trying to push everything to the limit not
thinking of the consequences and the other side constantly worrying
about the future, consequences, and wanting to be more careful or "Slow
It Down".
Polo & Chuck: The Movie
DJ Flexx and Don Juan join forces in this collaboration tribute to
The Godfather of Go-Go Chuck Brown and The Bounce Beat King Polo. The
Go-Go culture lost both Polo in 2013 and Chuck Brown in 2012 which left a
whole in the hearts of fans, while their impact will live on through
their music.
Shot during a tribute show at the Howard Theatre, the movie features
cameos from the genres greats as well as the families of both icons.
Original musical score and production by. JS aka The Best.
