Von Alexander - WAVES (VIDEO)

Von Alexander just killed off Vonny Del Fresco (or at least took his essence). 

In his newest video for "WAVES", the emcee runs down his former alias Vonny Del Fresco (VDF) in the middle of woods to tie him down and take what we see as his soul or maybe at least his persona out of VDF.

This symbolic and action-packed video is directed by Milwaukee's own Damien Blue who always seems to bring an artistic twist to these documentary-liked music videos. 

Peep the video below and listen to the rest of "VON [EP]" below.

#WeeSeeYou PaperStacks - Right Before The Feelin'

A few mornings ago our PowerCircle connect,  dropped a link to PaperStacks "Right Before The Feelin'" in my messages.

With clean production, appropriate 414 vibe and some unexpected emotion PaperStacks has released a project that is very easy to listen to.  Where PowerCircle affiliates are known for their turn up's, he balances that stigma with come ups, sexy slow downs, and tasteful stunting (if stunting can be tasteful).  Paper stack definitely brings the listener right before a few feelin's. Check out the project and let us know what you think.

#WeSeeYou Sean Smart - Stupid/Smart (Miilkbone Remix)

Don't sleep on Sean.

Smart or stupid, Sean Smart is never lacking on the rhymes tip.

His newest flow, "Stupid/Smart" solidifies the respect we have for this emcee, telling the world that any chance he gets he will be killing anything he touches. If you don't find him in a booth killing a verse, you can find him behind the computer screen creating the looks for local art shows, cover art for other artists as well as even designs for his own clothing line, Naēs Wear.

Listen to the track below or watch the video but as always #WeSeeYou Sean.

Hip-Hop Hates Cancer 2016

Hip-Hop Hates Cancer. CopyWrite Hates Cancer. Everyone Should Hate Cancer.

Tomorrow, April 29 at 9pm, make your way down to the Cactus Club to hate cancer with us. The benefit concert will be raising money for the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin's oncology department and more specifically kids that are suffering from terminal cancer, and their families, in an attempt to help them get better and enjoy the time they have left together.

With a $5 cover (with a suggested $10 fee), 100% of the profits go towards the charity. The show is 21+ but that shouldn’t stop you from donating; especially since you can donate online now.  

While you wait for the show, listen to the mix below from Milwaukee Record of the performers. 

On Friday, April 29 at Cactus Club, the Hip-Hop Hates... benefit concert will be back for one last show: Hip-Hop Hates...V: Hip-Hop Hates Cancer.

Rina - I Tried (Prod. Esmé)

Pretty much one word to describe this song from Milwaukee's R&B/soul singer Rina... DOPE!

With strong mixing and production from Esmé and Rina's soft and soulful voice singing away all of her emotions; we know that everything will be okay. "I Tried" is one out of two songs released on her SoundCloud but we can't help but anticipate more from this artist as time goes by. 

So chill and vibe out to "I Tried" below and let us know what you think of this lady of R&B. 

And in case you missed it, listen to her other single, "Temptation" below.

giving me that.. Prod. MEDASIN

Ammorelle x Ree$e x Lotus V. - PowerPLANT (Prod. by Trog)

"They say the 414 is cursed."

We would say different after seeing and hearing the talent that comes from the place we call home.

So listen to "PowerPLANT," a thought-provoking song that combines strong lyrics, killer beat and some great production to what we all might need to hear. With verses from Ammorelle, Ree$e and Lotus Valentine; we're hoping for more tracks to come from this unique trio.  

Feel the emotion of our city through this powerful track.

WebsterX - Everything (prod. by Q the Sun)

It’s Earth Day so we thought we would share this extraordinary and unworldly video.

Produced and directed by Cody LaPlant and Damien Blue, Webster X brings us the next “trilogy” to the incredible visuals we have already seen for “Doomsday” and “Lately” that were released last year.

The video for “Everything” captures the essence of the song by showcasing a nontraditional path and approach to music as well as the path to sharing ones gift with the world. (Yeah we know Web is an alien but hey we get the metaphor.)

Premiered by Pigeons and Planes, Webster X told them, “This video is a testament of something I’m desperately trying to share with the world, I got a vision man, Cody and Damien allow me to share that with people. People are really starting to realize that slowly. I’ll tell them what that vision is when the world fully accepts me.”

We hear him.

Watch the video below and as we respect our living legends; listen to Ms. Lauryn Hill's, “Everything is Everything” here (because we couldn’t not mention it).

Cree Myles - Crave Me

Sometimes as an artist, you will make songs that will pour your heart right on your sleeve for everyone to hear. If told in a compelling way, your audience can hear your story, understand it and then they can put themselves in the same place as the artist.

This is when we insert Cree Myles video for “Crave Me” which accomplishes this and more.

Her heartfelt song, mixed and recorded by Lon Renzell of THEMpeople, showcases her range of vocal skills along with her undeniable trait to get the audience captivated in what she’s doing and the story she has to tell. The song is pure, vulnerable and a story that we think anyone can relate to. Who can’t relate to wanting someone or even something that doesn’t want you back?

Shot by Tristan and Trayton White, we believe the new song and video is just the start of what Cree has waiting for her audience. Watch the video below.
