Check the Threat

THREAT TRAVELS: Let me start off by saying that Poe, Papa J, and Joogy Jugg flew out to New York earlier this week to wander the city, meet some people, visit some notable spots, and film music videos (3 music videos in 3 days). Our fellow OGTweekly contributor Aster went along, too, and the whole group eventually linked up with the other contributor FiascoTheGod. Click here to see a group photo.

POETIC DEATH: While filming videos in the city, Poe has been posting some photos on Instagram. There is a brief video from the first night, doing their first slumber party in New York (HERE). There's one of him and Saeed Sha chilling in front of 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the South Bronx (HERE). A shot of the "the team" working hard (HERE). Also, after recent talk of there being a Poetic Death x The Buttress collaboration, Poe met up with her in New Jersey to bang out that track, and will soon be shooting a video (picture here).

GAVLYN: On Saturday, Gavlyn will be rocking a set at the Sweet Baby Fest, at the Bootleg Theater. It starts at 8:30pm and goes through until 2am, and it's a 21+ event, so be there or be square. It's a non-profit event that will celebrate DJ SweetBabyRay's birthday, and all proceeds will go to the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation in his name to support key cornerstone programs benefiting children and families throughout the greater Los Angeles region. You can see the flyer or check the Facebook event for extra information.

She also announced a Latino America tour that will take place in November. She is still looking to get booked out that way, so if you want to hit her up (or know someone who can help her out), you can find her contact information right here. Other than that, get ready!

PAPA J: Since releasing a 5-track EP, titled 55ep, Papa J brought you some new merch to grab. On May 26th, he dropped a limited edition "iii" beanie, which quickly sold out. While that's not available anymore (I'm sure there will be follow-up editions), you can still get your hands on some "iii" stickers.

Of course, while in NYC, he's been posting up a few pictures, too. Here's one at Madison Square Garden, one at Quad Studios in the elevator Tupac was shot in, and a good ol' group shot. Lastly, while you wait for his new album, make sure you stream and download his latest EP, where he rapped over other's production to remind you of the lyrical heat he possesses.

RAZOR: If you're a fan of Razor, if you find yourself saying "Fuck Cancer," and/or if you want to give your money to a good cause in return for some dope performances... you should hit up the Rappers Vs Cancer show tomorrow at 10855 White St, Sun Valley, California 91352. All funds will go towards someone named Raul Sotello, who I assume is fighting the fight (or is related to someone that is). There will be performances from Razor, DJ Starchild, and others. You can check out the flyer on his instagram. If you have any questions, I'm sure you can hit up Razor on Twitter at some point between then and now.

YARAH BRAVO: Yarah Bravo has been making her mark all over and seems to be having the best time (proof is in all the pictures she shares on Facebook). In fact, she did a show tonight at the Hot Jazz Club in Munster, alongside German producer duo Carpet Patrol (Suff Daddy and Torky Tork--so dope). That's three dope musicians in one place, playing music that I love... oh how it'd be a pleasure to be there. I imagine pictures will be posted in the coming days. Speaking of performances, check out this beautiful set of photos from a performance she did in Berlin.

Also, if you bought her album on vinyl, or CD even, make sure you send them Yarah's way. She wants to see you all showing support, and she will likely post them on Facebook (example 1 and example 2). Yarah's Love Is The Movement release show is approaching, too, on June 10th at the new YAAM (Facebook event for more info).

FEGGY MIN: Over the past few days, we've been seeing a lot of sneak peeks from a photo shoot that Feggy Min and Sara Fleur have done to showcase some new Feggy Min Clothing. HERE, you can see Feggy Min rocking some black "89" leggings and the "Balance" longsleeve shirt she once posted. HERE, you can see her wearing the "King YLLW" longsleeve shirt. Lastly, HERE is a photo where she's wearing a pink and white flower dress.

And on that note, here is that finished Pharrell piece, called GOOD DAY - HAPPY DRINK. It's so awesomely detailed with all sorts of throwback cartoons (Mario, Smurfs, Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, and more), yummy sweets, rainbows, and chaotic fun.

SARA FLEUR: From that same shoot with Feggy, HERE is one of the Sara and Feggy wearing black tops, black and white striped pants, and black Creepers. HERE's another one of just Sara in pretty pastel colors.

CRAYONBEATS: Today, we released our sixth magazine issue. Without getting into too much detail (you can read about it here), I just wanted to let you all know that I did feature Poetic Death and Yarah Bravo inside. To go into a spread called "What Are Their Top 8 Songs Right Now," I asked Poe to share and talk about his favorite songs. So if you're interested in what he's been bumping a lot lately, go check that out. I featured Yarah Bravo's Love Is The Movement album in my "Did You Hear That" spread, where I wrote about 6 albums that I think people should give a listen to. Go read or download the issue for free HERE.

That's it, friends!
Thanks for reading.
Have a good night, and an even better weekend.
XOXO, Tiffology
