India and The Jones - Caught in the Middle

IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM! Is what archeologists will say when they discover India and The Jones’ new track ‘Caught In The Middle’ in 500 years. If you're a person who is looking for something new to lose yourself in that involves superb imaging and even more beautiful audio, I would highly suggest taking a peek at what they have in store for you here. 

This work of art is the epitome of a programmatic musical presentation, if you looked up programmatic in the dictionary, this would be there. I can’t even lie, there were a couple times I thought I was watching a movie or a gameplay of someone, and there was a whole story behind it, it all just felt so nostalgic. Correct me if I’m wrong, but, this seemed to me to be a perfect mixture of Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Sims AND Winx Club all combined and I enjoyed all 3 minutes and 45 seconds of it, times 10 (because I couldn't hold myself to stop listening to it)! 10/10 would recommend to your best friend.

I couldn’t tell what was better, the lyricism and vocals filled with soul or the graphics and storytelling of the video that would put all Wattpad writers to shame, I guess you could say I was caught in the middle *wink wink*. 

Gone ‘head and throw them a like and smash that subscribe button on their youtube channel: India and The Jones and follow their insta: @indiaandthejones.

Get “Out of the Box” this Summer with Black Box Fund

Black Box Fund is hosting a six-week

Summer series Out of the Box, featuring Cracking ArtJune 20 to August 1, 2021

Black Box Fund has announced a series of events that is sure to inspire, entitled Out of the Box. Out of the Box is a six-week series of family-friendly performances, workshops and more taking place along Lake Michigan’s shore south of Discovery World at Lakeshore State Park. Over 75 local non-profits, entertainers, artists and businesses will enliven this summer with multifaceted experiences highlighting a range of national and international awareness events—from African American Music Appreciation to World Nature Conservation. These events will run from June 20 to August 1, 2021. [See full Out of the Box schedule at https://blackboxfund.org/].

“Black Box Fund’s team is passionate about artists of all kinds—musicians, dancers, visual artists, poets, whatever art form someone may be doing—and supporting the creative experiences that happen when artists meet their publics. Seeing them do their work in real life and real time is always extraordinary.” - Marilu Knode, Executive Director of Black Box Fund

At the heart of the event is the commissioned sculptural installation REbirth by artistic movement Cracking Art. REbirth features 22 five-foot-tall, brightly colored swallows, made of “regenerable” plastic. Cracking Arts main desire is to create a sense of wonder that can bring pleasure while highlighting the overwhelming presence of plastic in our lives. “We primarily choose urban spaces rather than those dedicated specifically to art in order to trigger unexpected emotions, expel routine from everyday places, and allow for the reflection of a space with new eyes. Our hope is that this relationship can inspire creativity and a different point of view for observing the surrounding reality.” Cracking Art interview Oubliette magazine.

Black Box Fund has committed to bring the community together around art and highlight the broad diversity of creativity that this city has to offer. When asked about the event, Doug McDonald, Board President of Black Box Fund, said “We look at this as moving out of a mental box, not just a physical one, and expanding our connection with the creative community and with the community at large. Our mission is to create welcoming, family-friendly, open gatherings that really draw people from all aspects of the community.”

With live music, guided tours, food trucks and lots of outdoor space for safe communal engagement, there is plenty for the whole family to enjoy throughout the summer. Everyone is welcome. Black Box Fund believes that it is important to engage with all its community, sharing in the multifaceted ways in which we exist.

JOSH JENKINS- CHOP WOOD, CARRY WATER [PROD.BY SPACECRIMEBEATZ] (Video Submission)

We needed to hear this one.

Sometimes you just have to do the work, put in the time, and feel the struggle.

Josh Jenkins is reteaching us this lesson with his track “Chop Wood, Carry Water”. The video shows Josh solo, just telling us what the “real” is. The practice of artistry here  is the subtle gems piecing together something we know to be fact: You have to live it out.

Where some for a quick fix, we respect this message with much more kudos.

#WeeSeeYou Josh!

Dubb Saq - Dubb is Down (EP Submission)

If heartbreak produces this type of work, babyyyyyyy make it hurt! 

Dubb Saq is coming in strong with his EP Dubb is Down. Coming out of a heavy breakup, his music now seems matured and reflective. With a clean 5 tracks he stays on the topic [whoever ol’ girl is must be feeling ‘some type of way’]. It’s clean production. Melodic with cutting lyricism. Its fresh enough for the new era of synthesized hip hop listeners but still structured enough for the seasoned to ride the wave.

Our favorite track without a doubt is “i could never”, because real rap raw. . . WE COULD NEVER! And of course we will be adding it to our #CWApproved Spotify playlist.

When you need some music for the love-aftermath. . . This is the EP for the moment.

A.C. the Ruler - The Perfect Intro/555 (Video Submission)

It’s an aesthetic. 

Not just the visuals but the sound. It takes you to a nostalgic place of the not so far past, but maybe the present is too close, and the future, well . . . unknown. 

The words are too, reminiscent of days we had much to say but way more to show. It’s eloquent but spacey. It’s hip hop but as poetic as spoken word. 

That is the sound as much as it is sight.

It is “The Perfect Intro/555” by A.C. the Ruler.

King Bravo - Rollawood

It’s the chop and screw that got us like “Ooooooookkkkkkayyyy”.

King Bravo is serving up some “down south” inspired bars with a head honcho motif with his single “Rollawood” from his project State of Mine. This track is appropriately placed between shit talking and posturing that flexes the ability to create sounds that make you want to reminisce. 

Take a listen while you double cup Lol

Salute.
