David Banner – Believe (feat Big K.R.I.T)

 

I know my man Slobs is gonna love this post. Click the artwork above to get the new track “Believe” that features Big K.R.I.T from David Banner. The new album “Sex, Drugs, and Video Games” drops on May 22nd with a slew of features as you can see.

“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. Hell, even if you don’t like me, at least support the movement, because that’s what this is all really about.”

Ignite and Imagery “Live at Ziggy’s

The words “live” and “hip hop album” are not often seen next to each other, and this one certainly wasn’t planned. Ignite and Imagery finally got to play Ziggy’s, a hometown venue where they had seen many of their heroes play, and found someone to record the show the same night at sound check. Ignite Mindz was armed with the incredible Roland Fantom keyboard and a piece of shit bass guitar, and Imagery got to play DOCO’s fantastic drum kit. Ignite’s dad even made a surprise appearance with his virtuoso skills on the trumpet. It was the night before Thanksgiving so a ton of old friends were in the building, and the two MC’s hadn’t even gotten very inebriated before the show. It was the perfect night to make an album.

They perform a range of songs from some of their first they ever wrote, to some of their most recent. They perform some songs over Ignite’s beats off of a CD and some while playing their instruments.There aren’t any other hip hop groups that have a guy who can drum while he raps and sings soul, paired up with a producer who can play keyboard and bass guitar while he raps. Aside from the Fallen Anghellz guest appearance and Ignite’s dad’s appearance, it’s just the two of them onstage pouring their damn hearts out for the hometown crowd. Hope you enjoy.

Here’s video from the event:

Big Hop x JMProductions – #PenDistrict EP feat AMSOC (FREE EP!)

 

After meeting on Twitter (hence the hash-mark in the title), VA artist’s, Big Hop & JMProductions, have teamed up to create a new side project called #PenDistrict. Pulling from their roots in Newport News, VA, Hop’s gritty vocals and style meshed instantaneously with JMP’s boom-bap, rugged beat making. The two sides initially set out to feature nothing but artists from the Hampton Roads on the EP, but after a few failed attempts, Hop decided it was time to bring in his newly founded collective, Alpha Male Society or AMSOC.
