Hey, it's May!

Let me just say... holy moly, it's May! I swear, it was just the beginning of 2014, and now we are almost halfway through the year. I say this all the time, and it's a common expression amongst adults, but the perception of time seems to go by much faster as you get older. I turned 28 years old this year, and I was recently reminded that my 10-year high school reunion is this year. Whoa, already? Crazy. There's a lot going on this month, too. We have May The Fourth this Sunday (yes, I'm a Star Wars fan), Mother's Day on the 11th, Memorial Day, and just a boatload of other things happening behind the scenes for me. I'm excited, though. Anyway, happy first Friday of the month to you all. Let's get into this.

POETIC DEATH: Since releasing ONLY GODZ RELATE album nearly 3 weeks ago, Poe gave his previous album a little bit of a villain facelift. He remastered the whole album, rearranged the tracklist, added some new songs, and even added some old songs that weren't previously there to spruce it up. So, while you are still bumping the fuck out of his latest album, go ahead and make your way over to the VONPOEVII album Bandcamp page to stream and download it all over again.

While the final installment in The Villainz Trilogy won't be releasing until 2016, Poe does promise to push out a lot of music videos from both projects out right now. That said, a brand new video will be dropping next Sunday, so look out for that!

GAVLYN: Your girl Gavlyn is officially on her France tour, and her first show kicked off tonight at the Transbordeur in Lyon. She will be making her way through France until May 18th, so if you're in any of the cities listed right here, make sure you are in attendence!

YARAH BRAVO: I am so thrilled that we were (finally) blessed with a new Yarah Bravo album. On April 30th, she released her 9-track Love Is The Movement album! A proper album review will be coming up soon, so I'll let you know when that time comes (probably next Friday). It is available in digital, CD, and vinyl formats, so click that mouse on her Bandcamp page to make your purchase. Also available on iTunes and HHV.


VIDA KILLZ: As Fiasco previously mentioned, Vida has been dropping some sneak previews from her forthcoming LP, Daydreams and Nightmares. You can stream "Lady Death Pt. IV", a snippet of "Remember", and the "Outro". Vida's latest update on the album: "Just got rid of 3 tracks from this album that aren't up to par. More writing soon. I intend for Daydreams and Nightmares to send you on a roller coaster that weaves you into a beautiful butterfly from whatever creature you normally are--each time you listen to it. Much love."

She is also doing something unique: She is trying to connect with her friends and fans alike by mail. Showing your love/appreciation through emails, comments, messages, and other digital means is cool and all, but why not bond with Vida through the lost art of writing a letter? What about sending post cards where you're from, with something special written on the back? Or perhaps sharing photos, or art, or whatever you want with her? Yes! With an open mail box, she says, "Send me letters, poems, books, ideas, beauty, things that inspire you, things that destroy you. Send me pictures, paintings, etc etc etc. I'll respond, swear. Let's build connectivity." Find her PO Box address HERE. She also shared the link to her actual Facebook profile, so if you're trying to be on that friend tip, you might as well shoot her a request.

DEVOUR: Today, Devour dropped a brand new music video for his song "Make Me Feel (Blown Off That Purp)," from his REDRUM album released last year. It's a song that was written for the deep love and true friendship between he and his lady. As expected, the visuals were directed by Chad. The video has been out for less than 24 hours, and it's already gained over 9,000 views. That's pretty dope! Check it out by clicking HERE, or click play on the mini player below.


FEGGY MIN: Feggy is doing another giveaway contest. You can enter by doing one or all three methods listed in this status. She basically asks you to like and follow her on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Tumblr, and then share/reblog the contest on whichever platform you choose. The package up for grabs includes: 1 shirt, 1 iPhone cover, 1 mouse pad, 1 backpack, 1 puzzle, and a bunch of random goodies. Remember, the specific details on participating here, and do it before May 5th (because that's when it ends). Also, check out this beautiful photo of a more "feminine" Feggy, donned in white with flowers in her hair. Lovely, as always.

That's all, folks!
Have a blessed weekend!
XOXO, Tiffology
