Jneiro Jarel just put a preview on Youtube entitled “See Them Cry” featuring Cilla K. This song is from his upcoming “Fauna” album on Kindred Spirits. I heard the vibe is very Brasil and that some special T-shirts are might be released as well. More info on this soon…
Mayer Hawthorne wishes it would rain, but frankly I don’t. Here in Amsterdam the sun has just began to show itself and already women are pulling out their short skirts upon feeling the very first rays of sunlight. Anyhow…this is a fantastic video for a fantastic song. Can’t really add a lot more except that it was directed by Henry DeMaio and that Stones Throw deserves some props for this one again.
Inglewood, CA native Casey Veggies dropped his “Customized Greatly Vol. 2″ album last summer. This fresh ass track “Rollin By” was on there and was produced by ya boy Polyester The Saint and Fresh Chuck Daily for HellaGooD productions. The video was released yesterday and I gotta holla at P for those slick ass Black Caeser sunglasses. You might have seen those before on Erykah Badu in Shafiq Husayn‘s video, but that’s because Steve ‘Thundercat’ Bruner designs these. Imma have to pick one up this summer! In case you missed it…it’s a FREE download. Video after the jump.

NewJose James video dropped yesterday via Brownswood. “Code” was produced by Flying Lotus and taken from Jose’s “Blackmagic” album. Video is directed by Mike Vargas and Moni Pineda. I case you hadn’t noticed the album is out now via Rushhour!
This year we shot a load of video footage, but due to some circumstances we never got around to editing it and bringing it to ya’ll. Since it’s almost Christmas and the year has almost ended, we had to go out with some gifts in the form of some video’s. We shot an epic video last summer starring Exile & DJ Day which never saw the lights of day. It was shot at the Rooms of Red Bull where we hosted the Beat Battle at the Rooms of Red Bull together with Nalden. The only reason why this video never got properly uploaded, was because Vimeo decided to upload the footage, but kept on messing up the aspect ratio in the progress. We tried everything and eventually gave up all hope. Luckily my buddy Joao Costa (who shot and edited all the footage) came with a solution and managed to properly upload it to Vimeo at last. Thanks to Alex, Damien, Jonathan and Olski for meeting up with us. It was a pleasure and we had fun talkin’ bout the funky worm.
Introducing to you…Computer Jay from the always sunny Los Angeles. A moog freak by nature with a sound derived from dusty old synths but sounding oh so fresh. Greatness in the making I say! Big ups to our friends at HVW8 for some solid info and the footage from the Idyllwild Arts Academy celebrating Black History.
I just talked to Jay on AIM and here’s some additional info for ya’ll. Support good music and buy his single “Distance” with “Epiphany” on the flipside on iTunes!
