Namaste

Hello, everyone. If you don't know yet, this OGT Weekly blog will soon adhere to its "weekly" name. For the last 10 months, the 3 of us have each taken on the responsibility of providing you readers with the latest OgT news 3 times a week--every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Instead of 3 posts a week, it will turn into 1 post per week, thus making OGT WEEKLY stand true to its name. That will not be happening any more, beginning in August. After this post of mine, we will be taking a 2-week break until next month, when we will start this one-post-per-week idea. I believe that it will kick off with Aster for the first week, FiascoTheGod for the second week, me for the third week, and continue rotating as such. Does that make sense? Anyway... STAY TUNED! Let's get into what's been up with some of the gang lately...

POETIC DEATH: Poe has a bunch of new stuff in store for you guys! Two days ago, he talked about having some new VILLAINZ merch coming up, and one of them has already been unveiled! SKATEBOARDS! He's still collecting feedback on the design of the board, but at least we know that they're becoming a thing. About the quality of the boards, he said, "These would be 8.0 INDUSTRY STANDARD American made maple decks. Take a look at the company AVSKATES, they do boards for some of the top skating brands." If you'd be interested in buying one, do not hesitate in letting him know via Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

Not only that, but he dropped a new song today! Produced by Endure, "Namaste" finds a determined Poe marching to his own melody by doing everything in his power to reach his goals/dreams/destiny, without letting any negative bullshit getting in his way. Like water, if it gets trapped or blocked, it will find a new path. "I got the seven on my left hand, the threat on my right // I got a tat across my chest to keep my vision in sight." STREAM VIA SOUNDCLOUD.



But wait, that's not all. If you live in CALIFORNIA, NEVADA, or ARIZONA, Poe will be doing some special meet+greets in those states. Make sure you let him know here which city you want him to come to -- and if your city gets enough votes, he'll be there!

Lastly, this Saturday (tomorrow), Poe will be in Perris at The Regency Theatre around 4:50PM (see here). He will be there to see the new Purge movie, so if you want to watch it with him... be there! He'll also have some hardcopies of ONLY GODZ RELATE with him.

PAPA J. RUIZ: Like Fiasco said in his previous post, Papa J has been putting out some new work recently. Earlier today, he posted a photo of him working in the studio. "You can't rush greatness, let us work. Still no release date. @vonpoevii @joogyjugg & iii are working hard as a team to deliver to the fans as a collective and solo, griiind Wit us. #iii #ORGANIZEDTHREAT #PAPAJRUIZ". Keep your eye on 'em!

VIDA KILLZ: Vida announced that she will be taking a break from the internet for a little bit, while she does some soul searching and healing. She will also be working on music and writing, so if you're still interested in sending her beats (or inspiring Youtube videos), email her at: beats@vidakillz.com

YARAH BRAVO: Where do I even begin with Yarah?! She's a hard-working hip hop warrior! As far as shows go, she opened up for Fat Freddy's Drop yesterday, and will be opening up for them again on July 29th at Stadtpark Freilichtbühne in Hamburg, Germany (bonus: she posted a throwback photo when she performed with the band last year). You can also check this little poster to see where she'll be at in the next coming months. TOMORROW, you can find her in POTSDAM at the Streetopia Festival (event), and in BERLIN at Club Gretchen (event).

Some extra cool stuff: Not sure if there will be a video of this online in the (near) future, but Yarah spoke with someone at HHV regarding Yo! MTV Raps (photo). And, remember when I talked about the exclusive Love Is The Movement rolling papers? Those are finally available to you through her Bandcamp page (in two different combo packages) or via Ziggi Papers.

--------------------------------------
That's it for today and this month.
Hope you all have been well. Keep your head up!
We'll see you in August!
XOXO, Tiffology
