Out Of The Blog (OGT Weekly 12/1/15)

This is Fiasco and I am typing these words on a laptop in my living room. I am typing these words so I can form sentences, cohesive and non-cohesive, to bring you the new edition of the OGT Weekly. Every OGT Weekly is designed to deliver you the latest on Organized Threat. And if you believe you were able to keep up with everything the past two weeks, this will be your test. Tiff did an amazing job with the previous OGT Weekly and I believe I can create one just as good or even better.

The following vlog from Von Poe VII will lay down the foundation for what will be typed about in this edition of the OGT Weekly.


Ever since Organized Threat had a change in logo, I have been anticipating new merchandise with that logo on it. They underwent a change a while ago so it's not like everyday up until this point I was anticipating it though, every now and then I would think about the possibility. That merchandise is here and just in time for the holiday season.

There are many ways that fans of Organized Threat can show support and purchasing and wearing one of these hoodies is a great way to do it. This is of course if it doesn't inconvenience your bank account. Having a hoodie will help spread the movement and it creates the possibility of you meeting another OGT fan just because he/she saw you wearing this hoodie. In combination with the OGT logo on the front, there is a message on the back which adds depth to the merchandise. This first batch is available until Thursday. Click here to get yours!

Von Poe VII has created his own hoodie with a special message on the back, too. This offer is available until Thursday as well. Click here to purchase!

Von Poe VII was also a special guest on Zulu Tribe Radio on Monday (11/30) so hopefully there will be a streaming of that appearence available soon.

If you have been a fan of Von Poe VII for the past year or two, then the name Overstand Basics, may sound familiar. He is a spoken word poet that has been featured on Poe's past projects and it looks like he will be making an appearance on the new The Purity Of Love And War. Von Poe VII will also be releasing a visual for "American Ultra". "America Ultra" is one of my favorite recent releases from Poe, and now that he has obtained some vital shots, he will be releasing the visual again. "American Ultra" will of course be available on #TPOLAW set to release before the end of the year.On top of that we are introduced to a new track from Poe that will be on TPOLAW. It is entitled "Enemy" and it is a tribute to Big L. Witness for yourself, below.

Flip ya money 💰 don't flip on ya people 🙏

This tweet connects with a message that I have learned. That is, "People before profit". People before profit is one of the success principles that I have learned over the past year. Connections and moments with people are more valuable than money and can get you further than money ever can.

With Poe mentioning it in his latest vlog update and with this tweet from Papa J. Ruiz, he seems to already have a plan for 2016. If you are around successful people or read books on success principles and self-development, or have watched an inspirational movie, I'm sure you have heard or read the saying "It's not about how many times you get knocked down, it's about how many times you get back up". You do whatever it takes to succeed. Papa J. Ruiz doesn't specify what necessarily made him "fall" and all that really matters is that Papa J. Ruiz is setting the example for other OGT members and their fans, to never give up and to use failures as inspiration. A setback is an opportunity for a great comeback.

Joogy Music follows through on his promise and releases his project Out Of The Box. Out Of The Box is a project that features tracks with various rappers dropping verses over production from the talented OGT producer, Joogy. Papa J. Ruiz and Von Poe VII are two OGT MCs that are featured on the project. Out Of The Box serves many purposes and as a result it is a significant release from Joogy. It serves as a showcase of Joogy's producing talent. The project also helps the artists be exposed to Joogy's fans and it helps the fans of the artists to be exposed to Joogy's music. It's a win win situation for everybody involved, especially the listeners. Click here to download.



With the situation going on in Paris, I just want to let you know that Yarah Bravo is safe and sound. She also now has the opportunity and power to spread joy and positivity with her music. She has been doing many shows in Paris and surrounding cities so be sure to follow Yarah Bravo's Twitter page for the latest updates.

On another note, Jasson C's "747s" and "The Art Of Ignorance" tracks have been in my rotation as of late. Those two tracks can be found on his Waiting Room tape that he released back in 2013. That's crazy because it doesn't seem like too long ago when the tape was released. Click here to download.

I would also like to express my gratitude for Von Poe VII and Organized Threat for choosing me to be one of the writers to compose these OGT Weekly's. 2015 is a great year for OGT and 2016 is an even better year for OGT to shine.

All you need is one read to get the latest on OGT!

Tiff's OGT Weekly will be published a couple week from now so be sure to check that out.
