OH NO – OHNOMITE(Tracklist + Leak)

May 8, 2012 by socal  
Filed under Album Reviews, Art, Downloads, Music

Following two successful collaborative efforts alongside fellow producer/rapper The Alchemist as the power duo Gangrene -2010’s Gutter Water and 2012’s Vodka & Ayahuasca- and the 2011 gem with The Alchemist as Gangrene & Roc Marciano, the Greneberg EP; The Oxnard, California based beat-smith and emcee Oh No returns for a solo mission.

Oh No (born Michael Jackson; younger brother of Madlib and son of singer Otis Jackson) was granted unprecedented access to the Rudy Ray Moore / Dolemite audio archives and given free rein to slice, dice, chop and sample his way through the classic-yet-absolutely-filthy catalog. He was able to use legendary material from The Human Tornado, Petey Wheatstraw, the Dolemite Soundtrack and more, plus a multitude of previously unreleased and alternate acapellas and instrumentals. The end result is Ohnomite, a 19 track head-banging extravaganza of sloppy funk, dirty soul, and brainy lyricism, all aimed at one thing- making your head nod and your ass shake. And when you add to that guests spots from the likes of MF Doom, Evidence, Phife Dawg, The Alchemist, Erick Sermon, Rapper Pooh, MED, Guilty Simpson, Roc Marciano, Sticky Fingaz, Chino XL, Roc C, Prozack Turner, Termanology, Frank Nitt and more, and you are left with a one of a kind album from a one of a kind musician. Ohnomite- 19 songs of pure whoop ass from Oh No and Dolemite!

The First leak from Ohnomite “Whoop Ass” ft. Sticky Fingaz is available here

Tracklisting and credits for Oh No’s Ohnomite:

HUF 10th ANNIVERSARY PHOTO TEE SERIES
HUF is celebrating its 10-year anniversary as a brand with the limited edition HUF 10th Anniversary Photo Tee Series. For this project, HUF has teamed up with various photographers who have made a major impact on the world of skateboard photography over the years. Through the creative effort and critical eye of these select individuals, skateboarding has been documented in such a way as to provide a unique history of the rich culture and lifestyle that comprises it. Each month through 2012, HUF will release a new installment to the series featuring the work of one of these select photographers.
++++++++

HUF releases the third installment of the series in collaboration with photographer Mike O’Meally. O’Meally was born and raised in Sydney, Australia. He began photographing skateboarding in the early nineties and moved to New York City in 1998 to work for SLAP & Thrasher Magazine. He has since worked as Senior Photographer for Skateboarder Magazine and Transworld Magazine, and has been shooting for nearly 20 years. In addition to the thrill of shooting skateboarding, O’Meally also enjoys traveling and photographing a wide range of subjects, including anything from amateur boxers in East LA to zinc mines in Tasmania, to name a few. O’Meally’s photo of Keith Hufnagel for this project was shot during his first ever visit to NYC in 1997.

The Mike O’Meally photo tee is now available at the HUF online store.

I was on Nah Right on Saturday scrolling thru being a fan, trying to see what’s going on in the music world. Young Roddy dropped a tape on Sunday and I got inspired and felt like rappin’.

I rapped over some of my friends beats plus a few other tunes I thought was cool, hit 2 of my homies from Harlem, and put it out for free cuz I felt like it. #Rrrright – DZA

David Banner feat. Big K.R.I.T. – “Believe”

March 21, 2012 by socal  
Filed under Art, Music

After leaking the audio last week, David Banner presents the video for, “Believe,” featuring fellow Mississippi native, BIG K.R.I.T off his upcoming mixtape, “Sex, Drugs and Video Games,” scheduled to be released on 5-22-2012.
“Sex, Drugs and Video Games” is a free mixtape, but Banner is asking for fans to support “The Movement”. The goal of “Sex, Drugs & Video Games” is to show the world Urban music is still valuable. And how is he going to do that? Banner needs 2 million of you to download this mixtape for free, then he needs the same 2 million of you to donate at least $1 to the movement; but feel free to donate more, as there is no maximum donation.
And what is “The Movement” you may ask? This movement is to start controlling our own music, movies and content…PERIOD! As David Banner states “We are not simply characters in a video game being controlled by the invisible hand. Once this donation goal is met, I’m going to shoot a movie that will drop 5-22-2013 and a portion of the donations are also going to charity. Big shout out to Louie C.K. for the motivation. Download this mixtape for FREE and make sure to support the movement.”

Here’s a few stills of what we experienced covering this years Smokeout Festival. I was a little limited in shooting this year. Aside from arriving off schedule, all I had work to work with was my 50mm prime, but I captured some decent shots. I’ll make it up at Paid Dues(lol)..Enjoy…

With well over 20,000 ppl in attendance, it felt so good to be back. My motivation is back in 6th gear and with another successful event under their belts, GU will only grow while bringing us epic events that can be covered by media, enjoyed by fans, and remembered by all for years to come.

Jay-Z x Kanye West “OTIS” Maybach up for Auction

March 7, 2012 by socal  
Filed under Art, Community

Starting tomorrow any and everyone will be able to take place in the auction for the iconic vehicle that Jay & Kanye drove in the Grammy Award winning video “Otis” directed by Spike Jonze. The video, which features a 2004 Maybach 57 being chopped, flipped, cut welded, and push to the limits, is currently on display at the Phillips de Pury & Company in New York. Proceeds from the auction will go to Save the Children, and organization dedicated to helping kids around the world with basic necessities.

Save the Children is the leading independent organization creating lasting change in the lives of children in need in the United States and around the world. Recognized for our commitment to accountability, innovation and collaboration, our work takes us into the heart of communities, where we help children and families help themselves. We work with other organizations, governments, non-profits and a variety of local partners while maintaining our own independence without political agenda or religious orientation.

When disaster strikes around the world, Save the Children is there to save lives with food, medical care and education and remains to help communities rebuild through long-term recovery programs. As quickly and as effectively as Save the Children responds to tsunamis and civil conflict, it works to resolve the ongoing struggles children face every day — poverty, hunger, illiteracy and disease — and replaces them with hope for the future.

Savethechildren.org

This is such a great cause and just another example of how Hip-Hop can influence the world around us. Now, I leave you with the visuals of what this thing can do….”oh Na Na!
