“Leoism” is a prequel to Elcee’s re-release of “Heart Of A Lion”. Leoism is simply a self defined word, based on the characteristics a Leo (Astrology) may possess. Such as confidence, ambition, generosity, loyalty, pretentiousness, stubbornness, vain, etc.
Elcee is a Toronto based Recording Artist, Videographer & Photographer. He is a representative for the Virginia based JetPacks (@JetPacksEnt) & the main Videographer/Photographer for the Toronto based Brand Life & Wisdom (www.LifeAndWisdom.net).
Class of ’93 (emcee Kzaraw – producer Mega) just dropped the video for this single off their latest album but while catching up on their movements I seen this one featuring Trace Motivate off their self-titled debut ’11 release that they dropped back in November of ’12.
Like I said before, I’m really diggin’ what this crew’s been doing.. see my mini-rant here, lol
Been watching Class of ’93 since their debut and kinda feel like the duo’s (emcee KZARAW – producer Mega) potential is just sitting there waiting for more people to finally notice. Not to mention, seeing three great female Toronto emcees together on a cut is still such a frickin’ rarity, I’d even argue that their chemistry with A. Harmony and pHoenix might be worthy of a bit more official and strategic exploration (no pressure tho!).
Take in this crew’s previous releases and the formula they’re building with is pretty clear – good hops, rooted in the art’s fundamentals, and the experiences of the city they live in, with no real sign of pretense.
Honestly, it’s singles like this and this that make me miss doing OTA Live! sooo much. *tear drop*
There Is Only Today (The Remixtape) is a collection of exclusive remixes from a number of great producers Muneshine didn’t get a chance to work with on There Is Only Today. The Herbaliser, Moka Only, Elaquent, Slakah the Beatchild, SoundSci, Croup, The Extremities and Relic contributed, and Muneshine himself, remixing ‘Starter Jacket’ (feat. D-Sisive). It also features an exclusive remix by Poland’s Kes-A, who won the official There Is Only Today Remix Contest.
The mixtape was compiled and mixed by DJ Sonik (Sonikcuts of Brazil/France) in traditional fashion, the way mixtapes are meant to be: blended, juggled and scratched.
The mixtape features appearances by: Ghettosocks, D-Sisive, ELMNT, Kydd and NY’s Emilio Rojas.
The project is a pay-what-you-can download, offered exclusively through Muneshine’s Bandcamp page here:
With this rendition, I wanted to embody the many things that this time of this specific year has to offer, which includes christmas, feel good music, astrology, and supposedly the beginning of the end of the world all rolled into one. So I decided to do my own R&B rendition of the hit TV show “The Big Bang Theory” which I sang and produced myself. I also thought to myself “how can I make a video to this?” and then as I was learning the motion graphics program “after effects” to create my own logo, I got the idea that I should just create a full on motion graphics lyrics video which takes place in space. It only makes sense right? So for the past couple weeks I’d been studying the program and researching information on the universe and this is what I came up with. Hope you enjoy it 🙂
