When the sky darkens...

POETIC DEATH: Being that today is Friday the 13th, I feel that this day is a good lead in for what's new with Poe. We have seen the sneak peek photos and the talk of the brand new song that Poe recorded with The Buttress over the course of a few weeks now... and, finally, all of that excitement was met with the official music video a few days ago! Produced by Critical Distance, "COFFIN" is wrapped up in a mellow, head-nodding beat that finds two dark-minded, inner sinner rappers letting us know that even when they're dead, they'll still resurrect from the grave and raise hell on Earth (from the hook: "When the sky darkens, I'm awoken from my coffin). Poe takes on the first cult-like verse with a don't-give-a-fuck attitude and deadly, bury-you-where-you-stand rhymes. The Buttress creeps in with a hair-raising shriek just before she pulls grimy raps from the depth of her gut. This is her first collaboration, and I think they make a good team because it's a dope track. Special cameo from Aster, where she plays a spell-conducting, possessed girl seeking release. I wouldn't doubt that she's being possessed by the black magic that this deadly duo is reciting. Watch the music video in all its HD quality over at Youtube, or watch it in the mini player below.

Look out for the visuals to "Ready To Die" on the 21st!

PAPA J: Papa J dropped a new song called "La Sistema," that follows his life and how he's changed ("I done came a long way..."). Look out for this song on his forthcoming HR-1955 project. STREAM AND DOWNLOAD.

JMEGA: JMega dropped something heavy yesterday, guys. As a prelude to the True Masterz highly anticipated album Almagest, they unexpectedly released True Masterz Radio. It's a 24-track project that is comprised of new material and previously unreleased tracks, and it is a display of the trio's true elevation. Go STREAM / DOWNLOAD on Bandcamp for free (or name your price to support the artists).

VIDA KILLZ: After receiving many inquiries regarding whether or not Vida accepts beats, she let it be known that she definitely does. In this status, she supplied her email and said that she is currently looking for about 7 beats to finish off her forthcoming album, Daydreams and Nightmares. If she chooses your beat, you'll receive the album for free in return. So, if you feel that this is something you'd like to take part in, go ahead and send your stuff to her and/or if you know someone that would be interested, let them know what's up!

RICS RUMBLE: A brand new Cypher Effect video surfaced and the 7-minute session features Rics. He's up first, too, so watch the video and download the song for free.

RAZOR: Razor recently wrapped up a video shoot for his song "Pearly Gates," and posted a behind-the-scenes still from the shoot (look here). Be on the look out for that. Also, if you're in the North Hollywood area (and 21+ in age), then you can catch him performing at the Universal Bar & Grill TONIGHT (he mentioned it on Instagram). Doors open at 8pm. It's $12 at the door, so go show your support. Aside from doing the show, he will also be selling copies of his Sharper Than My Name album for $5. (Side note: You can catch Rics Rumble there, too!).

THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A.: Congratulations to THA FORMULA on graduating! Check out this photo of him all smiling and excited for the big, final day. There's also a photo of him and Razor posing together.

EMPTYSEV: EmptySev shared a brand new beat that he made, called "Broccoli". Crunchy, boom bap drums, sci-fi like elements, chopped vocals, and a funky piano line woven throughout... it's real nice! Listen to it now.

YARAH BRAVO: Yarah was featured on The Polish Ambassador's brand new album, on a song called "Nobody's Alone". It's a fun, danceable jam where she sends an uplifting, happy message of figuring out what YOU want and not letting someone's negativity destroy you. "I threw a life line in it, but you kept on sinking // And before I knew, I was drowning, too // No oxygen, looking down on me with a heartless grin // In the grimmest hearts of men // So, I'm not sorry for dancing // I'm not sorry for smiling // 'Cause I will not be seduced by your darkness."

I'm not a smoker, but for those of you that are, Yarah now has limited edition ZIGGI rolling papers for your smoking needs! You can get your hands on them during her in store show at the HHV.DE Store on June 21st (Facebook Event).

FEGGY MIN: Since I last wrote about Feggy doing a part two to her original Korean Hip Hop piece, she recently told us that she has created 27 new portrait outlines. She said, "There are still around 50 more portraits to do! Later when the Outlines of all Portraits are done, I will scan & (digital) coloring each of them and then put it all together to one piece." Have a look at a couple of sneak peeks that she has so kindly shared: here and here.

She also shared a close-up look of the Thug Li(f)e Hoodie that she has available in her store. And just for fun, watch the new San E & Raina music video for "A Midsummer Night's Sweetness" where you will find Feggy Min's art (spot the iphone case!).

SARA FLEUR: Last but not least, here's a brand new photo of Sara, where she's fully decked out in Feggy Min gear ("Blessed" long sleeve shirt & "9889" black leggings).

I know that was a lot of information to take in and process, but it's all good,
because you have the whole weekend to catch up.
Enjoy your night. Get your freak on. ;)
