#OGTWEEKY: "Untitled 12/16/14"

This is FiascoTheGod and I am currently alive to supply you with the latest Organized Threat news. If I wasn't alive I'm sure someone else would be doing this right now but, that person isn't alive. I am alive. Or am I?

GET EXCITED! HERE IS THE NEW OGTWEEKLY! YEAH!

#BREAKINGNEWS: Introducing the newest member of Organized Threat, Vic Virtuoso!



"Heathen" is the debut visual from Vic Virtuoso and it is a very disturbing one. No there aren't creepy animals or images in this visual. It's just the presentation Vic Virtuoso gives. From the production which is produced by Vic as well, to his tone of voice, to the visual itself, it's difficult to not be creeped out or feel awkward while watching. I can picture Vic Virtuoso's style blending very well with Von Poe VII's and you may be experiencing that very soon.

Got some heat with @Vic_Virtuoso, @ThisIsRAZOR, and @SevenxEmpty coming soon. #ORGANIZEDTHREAT

 On top of a new member join OGT, we have a new visual from Von Poe VII! Yeah!


Here is "Everything Has A Meaning" by Von Poe VII. Poe rolls deep in this visual and one of those faces you will see is MOOK who supplies you with a special dance performance. The phrase "everything has a meaning but, none of it makes sense" really has my mind stuck. For some reason my brain just cannot understand that phrase although it is very direct. Anyway, this track produced by JG can be located on Von Poe VII's album ONLY GODZ RELATE.

"I've been wondering if heaven's got an open bar / See the stars wondering if heaven's there at all" - EmptySev, song: "Gas Chamberz"

While walking to work one day I was thinking about this line and then I had the idea to compare it to something. Although I jotted notes in my phone so I wouldn't forget when it came time to compose my OGT Weekly, I cannot make the connection between what I jotted down in my phone. It was something really good, too. This has been one of my favorite lines in all of music this year and it always has me thinking. Maybe when you're done reading this you can comment your favorite line(s) from an OGT member.

JASSON C INTERVIEW! YEAH!

Jasson C and I were able to work together to put out an interview through another website I write for. It took a while due to my schedule but, it when it was published, it came out very well. Jasson C answered each question in fine detail and that's what really made this interview intriguing. He's currently working on his LA Project so I asked him some questions about that as well as a couple of other questions.

One of the questions I asked was about his "Philharmonic" track with EmptySev and Rellim. Read below to learn the story behind it.

2. How did the collaboration between you, Rellim, and Emptysev for “Philharmonic” work out? How did it start and what were the conversations like during the creation of the track?

Ok, so Rellim is from Texas but had moved out to LA for a few months (and hopefully we get him back soon) and we started working on music. We both produce so we made 3 or 4 beats together while he was out here. It was chill we would smoke kush and wax, watch futurama with his roommate, talk about random shit. Haha it was dope. This one day I came over Rellim’s messing with this Roy Ayers sample and I could hear how the drums would have to break down. I kinda played director for a few minutes until the patterns sounded right then I let him do his thing and I started writing. We recorded like 2 hours later and we had an open verse plus Sev had hit Rellim up for some material. We sent him the verse. I told him the murk it off. He did. And its history. Its probably one of the more organic songs Ive ever made because, you know, it wasnt planned or nothing. We just kind of did it. You can hear how fresh it is, how fresh the content is, how hard the beat is. Everything is so raw, but polished on the track. I love it, man. It was fun getting that done.

#DONTMISS: "Me Against The World" by Papa J. Ruiz





#NEW: "Woke Up Broke" by Papa J. Ruiz


Papa J. Ruiz continues to perfect his art of expressing his struggle with "Woke Up Broke". With production from Rellim, Ruiz showcases an effortless flow with reality stricken lyrics.

There are only 2 grey "iii" beanies left! Make sure you are one of those two by clicking here to purchase. Don't be that Papa J. Ruiz fan that doesn't have one!





Twitter Gem From Poe:

Its hard making art in America, because so many people just want to live. So many people just want to clock in and cash out, and it sucks.

EmptySev continues with his daily struggle:

A Few Words And Sentences From FiascoTheGod

There is your OGT Weekly! Make sure you take a second look over it and if you know someone who isn't familiar with the Threat, share this with them! See you next year! Well I won't physically see you...or will I?

Ain't No Turnin' Back

POETIC DEATH:

On November 22nd, the Inland Empire section of Organized Threat were together in one room--we're talking about Von Poe, Koolz One, Xican Brown, EmptySev, and Endure. Alongside posting a dope group photo, Poe said some things that helped illustrate this as being a night to remember: "Tonight is a dope ass night, dope as fuck! 2015 looking like a mothafuckin problem, and this ain't even the half of us!" He also got up and kicked it with Vida Killz a couple of days ago (who else is excited for another DeathKillz project?!).

As promised, Poe dropped a brand new music video 5 days ago. This time, it's for the song "Fear", from his ONLY GODZ RELATE album. This song's production was handled by Faces, Unearthed, and Endure, with cuts from DJ Starchild. The first half finds him spitting about how easy it would be to become a sell-out (succumbing into peer pressure, changing his music in efforts to get money, and dumbing down his raps), but that's just not him nor what he lives for. The second half gets a slight beat shift, and Poe gets real serious. He speaks on the bravery and dream he has to go all in, all the time, to carve his name into history. But, as the title says, this is about fear, and you'll find him expressing his fear of being "bitten" by snakes in the garden (ie: helping friends/people who then turn around and step on his back later). Cameos from Papa J. Ruiz, Koolz One, EmptySev, Joogy Music, and Razor. Watch it in the mini player below, or go straight to Youtube to watch it in full screen HD.

"Going to be making a really hard effort to hit you all with a new video once a week for the next 3 months. Then I'm starting on the next project (dropping in 2016 though). - VII

Also, expect group videos once a month from the THREAT starting in January. We working hard on this end, so yea. #VILLAIN"

Lastly, Poe will be working on his next video (yes, so soon!) this weekend. He is doing a roll call for people with ski masks, living in Los Angeles and Inland Empire to participate. Read over the post below, and email him if you're interested in getting involved.

Post by Chad A. Marshall.

PAPA J. RUIZ:

On December 1st, Papa J dropped his music video for "Me Against The World", from his forthcoming album. The song was produced by Ruman and Rellim. Giving you an idea of where his headspace and focus lies, he spits honest, personal raps about hustling to feed and protect his loved ones/family, and being one to fight and prevail through bad times. He sheds light on some real life scenarios that could've brought him down, but he kept his head up and moved forward. "Everytime that I never had shit - I'ma get it!" Directed by Chad A. Marshall, of course! Cameos from Von Poe VII, Joogy Music, and Koolz One.

He was also selling his first run of the "iii" beanie (see him in it here), but it seems to have sold out now -- congratulations on that! Be on the look out for a restock on December 12th, but while you wait, go ahead and check out the rest of his merch options (posters, CDs, stickers, and apparel).

YARAH BRAVO:

Since the last time I caught up on Yarah's happenings, she has played at The No Stress Winter Festival (look at this smiling beauty and view more photos), shared a special bonding moment with her father here, shared some photos with some lady friends, danced in the streets with DJ Vadim, and she also let us know that a music video for her beautiful song "Carousel" is coming soon (better listen to and grab Love Is The Movement if you're behind on that)! And, if you're in Berlin, Germany, tomorrow (December 5th), you can catch her performing at Panke's Down Low event. Look at this flyer for more information.

VIDA KILLZ:

Over these last couple of weeks, Vida dropped the 5th and 6th installments in her live video series. The performances were of "Lady Death Pt. V", from her forthcoming Daydreams & Nightmares album, and "Lucid Dream", from her Negative Space album. For fun, she compiled a playlist of live videos she's recorded over the years, too... you can watch those here.

SOULCAT E. PHIFE:

In my last post, I talked about the coming of a new Soulcat song called "Ain't No Turnin' Back"... and since then, it has dropped! When I hit play, about 15 seconds in, I let out a joyous "Ooooo!" Produced by Phil Chronics, this smooth beat is driven by hard-hitting drums, a groovy bassline (it's so good), and glimmering percussion, which, in combination with the hook, has a strong R&B vibe (reminds me of 90s R&B jams). Soulcat E-Phife jumps on the first verse (Deliman on the hook and Phil Chronics rapping in German on the second verse), and I just looove her voice and presence on the mic. Plus, she's got a real cool and sexy flow. Press play on the player and keep listening to it on repeat (I did!), because this is a dooope uplifting song about being thankful for what you have. Go download it for free (or support the artist by naming your own price) over at her Bandcamp page.

I'm gonna end this post with the third volume in the Organized Threat Mix series, which dropped on November 24th. It's 17 minutes in length, and features 5 tracks by EmptySev, Vida Killz, Von Poe VII, and JMega The1 God. Stream below, or directly at Soundcloud.
