Here’s the final and 3rd video from the recent free event by The Miguel Atwood-Ferguson Ensemble in LA. This time featuring Stones Throw’s Aloe Blacc who we will be interviewing in 1 week on RBMA Sound Gallery Radio. Together, Miguel and Aloe pay homage and tribute to Gang Starr MC Keith ‘Guru’ Elam, doing an arrangement of Gang Starr’s “Betrayal”, which initially featured Scarface. Aloe Blacc’s album “Good Things” is also out now via the Stones Throw Store. You can enjoy both the video as well as the audio of “Deliver the Word” available as free download via Miguel’s Band Camp.

Earlier this year we met up with L.A.’s finest J*DaVeY and we had a blast. We asked them some questions about their performances, turn-ons and turn-offs, what they spend their cash on, the whole Cali movement, Dack Janiels and more. Now the backstage area at the Paradiso is loud as f*ck, so sorry for the background noise. It was an honour meeting both Brook & Brianna and special thanks to Joao Costa for the camera work and editing.

A few weeks ago we met up with Ty and Erik Rico, who performed at ‘Straight Up Jazz’ @ the Bitterzoet in Amsterdam. In this in-depth interview, Ty talks about the hip hop in UK, sheds some light on his upcoming album “A Special Kind of Fool” and tells us how he never wanted UK rappers to ask him for beats. You’d better get you cup of tea, because this is a serious fifteen minute video. Again Joao Costa on camera and edit. He worked a small miracle, because the lighting was awfull at the venue where we shot this. Photo credit goes to PMI.

Deluge and me got to hear some bits of the upcoming Ty album and it honestly sounded very dope. We hope to tickle your ears soon with some exclusive streams, but more of that later! Big up to Raj for connection and we’ll holla when we’re in London in a few months.
