NEW VIDEO: Raz Fresco – Screwface City (Directed by Zac Facts)

rez | Video | Saturday, May 23rd, 2015

Another dope offering from not only the youngin’ Raz Fresco but from director Zac Facts. Shouts to The 6th Letter with the cameo.

HNHH Premieres a new visual from Raz Fresco, “Screwface City.”

Back in August we were first introduced to Toronto rapper Raz Fresco by way of his mixtape The Screwface Tape. He’s dropped a few music videos since then, and today we’ve got the premiere of his latest visual, “Screwface City.” If you’re not from the 6, this video will do a good job of getting you acquainted with the city, all the while Raz details a harsh lifestyle that’s tangent to Toronto.

Raz is currently prepping a follow up to The Screwface Tape, titled Pablo Frescobar. It’ll contain contributions from Bishop Nehru, Chuck Inglish and Raekwon. Look out for it drop this summer.

Peep the music video for “Screwface City” up top, and cop the new single on iTunes.

VIDEO: EverythingOShauN – Bipolar (Teaser)

rez | Video | Saturday, May 23rd, 2015

Another new one from EverythingOShauN. Full video coming soon…

Until Then…EverythingO

Limited Download : https://soundcloud.com/oshaun/everyth…

http://www.EverythingOShauN.com

EverythingOShauN is finally here with the second single off his soon-to-be-released project, “Until Then… EverythingO”.

The reflective mellow track is produced by Xpress aka DJXP, and contains OShauN’s signature melodies that everyone has come to love and expect, combined with his raw lyrics.
This stark contrast is a definite showcase of his style, “smooth yet rough around the edges”.

Don’t be surprised when you catch yourself singing along, even when it’s not playing. The strangely relaxing “Bipolar” is a case of euphonic ecstasy.

With a fast-flying past year – including performances at SXSW, New York, and back home at Canadian Music Week – OShauN is gearing up for even more surprises for his fans (and critics) leading up to the release of his EP. Until then… stay tuned.

INTERVIEW: John River w/ AnchorShopPresents.com

rez | Interviews | Thursday, May 21st, 2015

JohnAnchor

AnchorShopPresents.com chops it up with the youngin’ John River.

By: Braxton Wignall (@maverickhippy)

Whenever I get the chance, I make sure to see John River live and support him as best I can. He is a young, humble, modest, and critical artist from Mississauga, whom with I have developed a friendship through community organizations and mutual friends. The last time we ran into each other ahead of his set at Studio Bar during this year’s CMW, I made sure to document our conversation. I’ve never really had the chance to sit down and speak with him for too long so his responses to my questions were as new to me as they are to you.

What was the last project you worked on?

The Storm, which is finished now, it just hasn’t come out yet. It will be out hopefully by early September.

What’s the story behind The Storm? Where did the inspiration come from? Did anything happen between your last project and this project that changed and put your creative energy in a better or worse place?

The Storm is like a big evolution. The first project was called The Calm so the The Storm is like the calm before the storm. Essentially it’s just a lot more sounds. We tried to progress ­­–– from a musical standpoint –– to go a lot deeper and just really make it like a lot fucking doper.

You have been performing a lot over the last couple years, really getting your name out and learning as you go, working on projects and working hard on your craft. How has that helped you grow as a person and of course as an artist?

I think growing as a person really helps make the projects better. The music is a derivative of your own personal character. Performing (and all that shit) helped me a lot because as you said, you have to learn as you go. Some shows there’s five people, some shows there’s five hundred and you’ve got to bust your ass every time regardless –– it’s your craft so you take pride in it.

NEW MUSIC: ELMNT & Boko Maru – Shadowboxing Through Universes #2 (Free .99 AM)

rez | Music | Tuesday, May 19th, 2015

ELMNT-Boko

Bumped into this dude a couple weeks back at SoTeeOh’s photo exhibit opening night (dope night btw). Sounds like there’s a few exciting ELMNT projects coming out this year including this collabo with Boko Maru i.e. Part 2 of their Shadowboxing Through Universes series. Good music.

Deep in the rainforests of the Amazon, the Achuar and the Huaorani Indians are assembled for their daily ritual. Every morning, each member of the tribe awakens before dawn, and once gathered together in that twilights hour, as the world explodes into light, they share their dreams.

This is not simply an interesting pastime, an opportunity for storytelling: to the Achuar and the Huaorani, the dream is owned not by the dreamer alone, but collectively by the group, and the individual dreamer is simply the vessel the dream decided to borrow to have a conversation with the whole tribe.

The tribes view the dream as a map for their waking hours. It is a forecaster of what is to come for all of them, In dreams they connect with their ancestors and the rest of the universe. The dream is what is real. It is their waking life that is the falsehood.

Much like storytelling, Free .99 is a cosmic channel curated for the dream-chasers.

Start your 30 day dose of reality for the price of FREE 99.
