In Threat We Trust

VON POE VII / POETIC DEATH:

If you aren't up on what's happening with this cat, you gotta follow his social media accounts. Same with any of the OGT members. Speaking of social media, he is now on Snapchat, so if you get down with that app, go add him at "vonpoevii" (as if you thought it'd be some other name). That being said, he wrote, recorded, and dropped a brand-spankin-new song, as of an hour ago! Produced by STiM and inspired by phone calls with Papa J. Ruiz, "Steady Coastin'" has him rapping about the hard work and ambition it takes to really chase your dreams, especially when being faced with hurdles and setbacks. He's steady coastin' through it all. Then, a few days ago, he dropped another new track, called "Titan". Over a head-nodding, jazzy boom bap cut produced by 3Point, Poe spits aggressive bars about what it means to be a giant, always making moves and staying true to his word. Stream and download "Titan" for free.

He also talked about dropping a new video soon, so stay tuned for that. And, just in case you didn't know how DEEEEP his discography really is, peep this tweet:

The ONLY PERSON ON THE PLANET w/ a hardcopy of my first 12 albums prior to "VONPOEVII", lives somewhere in Japan. Paid $400+ back in 2011.

PAPA J. RUIZ:

As you all may know, Papa J. Ruiz opened up for Casey Veggies on May 14th, in Denver, Colorado. I'm assuming it went well (because why wouldn't it have?), which probably had him on a positive high on his trip to California... for his radio run tour. I'm hoping you were plugged into all of those shows, or at least one or a few of them. Spread out between Los Angeles and San Francisco, he was on Breakbeats and Rhymes with Rebels To The Grain, he was on the Crappy Awesome podcast with Mr. Arash and C-Rey, he was on iHeartRadio with Row Dayanghirang, and then on BReal TV's Heavyweights Radio with Mike XXL and DJ Truly Odd (WATCH HERE). If the others aren't already uploaded, I'm sure those will be available at their respective websites to stream soon, so keep your eyes open.

He also got down on the 5th installment of the Organized Threat series BARS, which is posted at the bottom. Now, I'm going to embed several posts where Papa J. Ruiz shared some photos with insightful and reflective words from his trip, because no one can talk about it like he can. Photos and experiences with friends, family, and fans. Give them a look over.

SONNY SEV:

Sonny Sev dropped a couple new tracks this month, you guys. The first one is called "Snatch", and he spits grimy raps over the same beat on Mobb Deep's "Still Shinin". He also lets it be known that you can call him Mr. Seven, and he's making the effort to be recognized everywhere... and the music he's been putting out lately only solidifies that. Respect. The other song is called "7 Roses", and it was produced by STiM. It's a real relaxing beat, with melancholy whistling in the forefront over dusty drums and melodic keys. Taking a deep breath, Sonny Sev lets his reflective thoughts unravel through storytelling lyrics about his life's bumpy ride of struggles and pain. I love listening to this one, because the emotional depth in his words really grabs me. Listen to both of these gems now.




He also blessed the 6th installment of the Organized Threat BARS series, so make sure you check that video out at the bottom. And for comedic relief, I saw this retweeted on his Twitter, so I thought I'd share... hahaha.

YARAH BRAVO:

Yarah Bravo has a live stream on June 3rd, at 7PM. I don't know any other information, like where it will be held at, where you can listen to it, or what, so make sure you stay tuned to her Facebook page for more information. Yarah will also be performing at a Gavlyn and Oh Blimey show this June, check this little post for a little more details.

VIDA KILLZ:

Seeing as how I got put onto both Von Poe VII (aka Poetic Death) and Vida Killz through their DeathKillz collaborative work, back in 2011, I thought I'd share the "Chapter Six" song that Vida Killz recently uploaded to her Soundcloud; Especially since those projects no longer exist on Bandcamp. The song was released in 2011, and produced by Kwervo. It finds the two intertwining poetic raps with spoken word (as they're known to do when they work together), lacing expressive lyrics with dark subject matter on life. If you're a visual person, you can also watch the music video over here.

SOULCAT E. PHIFE:

Soulcat shared a video from 2012 that I haven't seen, so I wanted to share it here... just in case any of you wanted to watch it, too! It's a 12-minute video where she shows her process of making a beat, primarily on her keyboard, from beginning to end. Check it out.

KOOLZ ONE:

While his Facebook fan page isn't popping anymore, Koolz posts a lot to Instagram, Twitter, and he's on Snapchat (koolz1_iicc). That said, if you haven't downloaded his Writers Block EP, you should go do that already. I mean, there's 11 songs and it's completely free, so what's stopping you?! This is a prelude to his The Alpha album coming soon, and he's already dropping previews of songs from that via social media (peep that IG embed).

We flooding the streets with this hip hop shit! New music for ya ears. Koolz One- Blowing to the heavens produced by my boy JG music off my album coming soon "The Alpha" #OrganizedThreat

XICAN BROWN:

Xican Brown and Koolz One have joined forces to become Society of the Ill. Two weeks ago, they released the first song under their new name, and it's called "Partners In Crime". Shiiiiit, why wouldn't it be called that? These partners in (c)rhyme crush this neck-breaking banger, by slanging lyrical weapons of mass destruction that prove that they aren't playing around. They're the shadows that lurk in the night! Stream below and download for free.

If you wanted to get an idea for what Xican Brown is working on lately, make sure you pay attention to his Instagram page. He has shared a couple of previews of some beats he's working on, for example this one and this one.

As a new member it's always a pleasure meeting another member from the #threat. The vibe was dope and i can feel @papajruiz hustle. Peace to the the movement and would like to publicly thank @vonpoevii for giving me the opportunity. We have have a lot of shit in the works for yall! And most definitely always a pleasure seeing my brother @str8mookin ..AND DON'T FORGET TO COP THAT #HR1955 ALBUM!! #onelove hope to see yall again soon..enjoy California my brother we got you! Handle that biz! #organizedthreat #papajruiz #VonpoeII #mook #xicanbrown #threatlife #OGT

RUMAN:

Producer Ruman shared a new track a couple days ago, called "4EVERWAVY". It's only 1 1/2 minutes in length, but it's a nice, slow-burning beat, laced with a thick bassline, jittery hi-hats, and tip-toeing, hazy synths. Stream below, and look out for more from him (such as a collab with Rellim). Also, go check out his Soundcloud page, because he just celebrated 100,000 total plays.

i got some heat in the stash trust me

RELLIM:

Much like the rest of the camp, Rellim has been a busy dude. On May 15th, he dropped a 4-track instrumental project, titled Somewhere Not Here. He has said that these are not beats for people to rap over, so don't treat them as such, because these are meant to be listened to as is. In fact, these songs are really easy to listen to... on some kick up your feet, relax your mind, and cool out type vibes. They ride predominantly on head-nodding boom bap drums, some signature Rellim hi-hats, and a lot of soulful, jazzy grooves. When you listen to a lot of Rellim's past work, and then listen to this EP, it's quite nice to hear such a range and versatility with him. Well done, dude. This project is available for the pay-what-you-want price; whether you download it for free or donate some dollars, that's entirely up to you. Aside from grabbing it on Bandcamp, you can also find it on Audiomack, GotInstrumentals, and Youtube. Give it a listen, though!


Aside from that, he also shared 3 brand new tracks. The first was "Slurred" with Kaido. The second was "Come Home", with Mad Bæ, which will be on a collaborative album between the two soon. The third is a remix of Alina Baraz's song "Show Me", and it finds Rellim upping the heat of this rather seductive song, and I loooove it. Stream and download all of them for free. You're gonna want them.

ENDURE:

Producer Endure has dropped a couple of preview beats he's been working on, including this one. He was also seen hanging out with Papa J. Ruiz. Hopefully this guy will drop some new music soon, especially in a project of sorts where we can hear a bunch of stuff back-to-back... yeeeeah!

a storm is coming

Hello everyone, this is Fiasco and
my fingers are currently touching my keyboard so
I can provide you with the latest news in
the Organized Threat camp.
There is a lot of news in this edition of the OGT Weekly and
that's really good because that means...a storm is coming...

Papa J. Ruiz + Von Poe VII

Papa J. Ruiz and Von Poe VII have been delivering tons of conent this year and
it doesn't look like they plan to slow down. A recent video published on
the Organized Threat Facebook page prepares you for what is to
come. That's if we can prepare at all. Although both of these artists have
collaborated previously it seems that we may be getting a joint project from the two.
The duo of Von Poe VII and Vida Killz have been my favorite thus far to
come out of Organized Threat and the duo of
Von Poe VII and Papa J. Ruiz have potential to take that spot.

May 14th will be the day that Papa J. Ruiz
Performs with Casey Veggies in
Colorado. to witness this

Instagram asking for assistance from people

18 and 21. if you have no interest in being a rapper
Then contact him through IG or Twitter.


How Did Rellim Get Started In OGT?

After committing the act of a
Simple Youtube search in
2011, Rellim came across OGT.
After watching an interview in 2013 with
Devour (former OGT member), Rellim
Chose to start sending beats to him.
Eventually they collaborated on "Ounce".
Von Poe VII ended up directing that visual
So he heard Rellim's production. After clearing up
The question of if Rellim was strictly Devour's producer,
Rellim subsequently commenced sending beats to
Poe. One of the beats was the second part to "FREDO".
This took place around the time Phora and Eskupe
Were no longer part of OGT and so Poe decided
To replace them with Rellim. Good choice Poe.

After hearing about Organized Threat
Rellim was somewhat interested in
Being a part of the Threat. Due to
The quality of the videos and music
Composed, Rellim thought they were a
Label. Thats not was he was looking for.
After realizing they were all
Independent, Rellim became more
Attracted to the team. Through hardwork
And good timing, Rellim became part of
Organized Threat and is now a proud
Current member.

Lyrical Overdose

The following two artists have released
Content that showcases their talents
As a writer/poet/mc. Koolz One has
Officially released his first EP since
Being a part of Organized Threat.
The Writers Block EP contains eleven
Tracks that prove why Koolz One is part of
The Threat in the first place. Koolz One
Seems to have found a lyrical buddy
In Xican Brown as he featured on
Four of the tracks.

Vida Killz is featured in the latest
BARS session. She empties her
Poetry "Lady Death pt.V".
Director Chad A. Marshall was
Present to capture this occurence.
The BARS session created by Organized
Threat is meant to focus on the "lyrical
Content" of their MCs. From the first
One released, I knew Vida Killz would
Be a perfect fit. I just had to wait for it to
Be released.
If you've been suffering from lack
Of lyrical passion and creativity,
Vida Killz and Koolz One have
Provided you a cure. no medical
Insurance required.
