Throw your underwear in the ayerrrr!

POETIC DEATH: Yesterday, Poe shared a photo from when he and a bunch of friends visited the Perris Cemetary to pay respect to some friends that passed away while growing up. He shared some sentimal words, too, saying "Words can't really do justice to how much of a blessing this afternoon has been. Went to the Perris Cemetery to visit some of the homies graves who passed away growing up, and ran into Cash's mom at his gravesite. Brought back so many memories, and had one of the greatest most heartfelt conversations in a long time. She was locked up when the homie passed, and this was the first time the she got to meet us. Super dope, and happy as fuck I got to share this moment with the homies @koolz1_iicc, @johnnygee_iicc, @bulletbeatzbang, @cfphotography1, and @yungceelow. In loving memory, remain eternal."

On a lighter note, Poe is offering up some official "VONPOEVII" stickers to anyone wanting to help spread the word. Send your name and address to him via email and slap 'em up wherever you feel necessary. Get yours!

BONNIE BLUE: Your favorite azul lady Bonnie Blue will be rocking a show tonight at The Music Factory in Ventura, California (flyer). She will be performing all of the songs from her debut album All Things Considered, plus some new unreleased joints. Doors open at 8PM, her set begins at 11PM. $5 at the door. Check out her other show dates here, too.

GAVLYN: It looks like Gavlyn is having a blast over in Europe, guys! Aside from the fun, memorable shows she's been rocking, experiences she's been sharing, and love that she's getting overseas, we've been seeing several photos of Gavlyn, Feggy Min, and Sara Fleur hanging out together. Here is another one--check out that Homer Simpson skirt Sara is wearing and that blue Bart Simpson dress Gav is wearing! These ladies are fly. While we're on the fashion tip, Gavlyn did a shoot for the clothing line K1X WMNS. Here's a little behind-the-scenes video of that day (watch here).

Oh, what's that? You thought only women threw panties on the stage at their favorite musicians? Nah, a grown man threw his black underwear up at Gavlyn during her show in Copenhagen, and they managed to snap a picture together afterwards (have a look). Hahahaha. Throw your underwear in the ayerrrr, and wave 'em like you just don't cayurrrrr!

All that said, her European Tour is wrapping up with a show tonight at the NED Music Club in Montreux and her final show is at the Exil Club in Zurich. If you're in or around those cities, do what you can to make it out there, have the time of your life, and say what's up!

PAPA J: Papa J is giving back to his fans by holding a special contest. For anyone on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, all you need to do is share your favorite picture of him + the best quote that not only inspires you, but can also inspire the world (put the quote on the picture). Make sure you tag @papajruiz to be entered! Two winners will be chosen on February 27th, and the prizes include a "No R3c" shirt + CD, Early Prep CD, 5:55am mixtape, a "iii" sticker, and a signed Life As I Know It poster. Not only that, but you'll also receive a gift from NewWorldKings and Joogy Jugg. All of this merch and more can be yours, so get involved.

YARAH BRAVO: If you're seeking some new aural pleasure from Yarah, go listen to Long Lost Relative's song "Between Machines and Dreams," featuring Yarah and Bajka. Over an array of heavenly-sounding strings, head-nodding drums, and a tropical-like melody, this lovely song finds Yarah and Bajka rapping/singing (respectively) about a thinline between dreams had when awake and asleep. A contrast of what might be perceived as good and bad; sweet dreams and destructive dreams, perhaps? Whatever it is, it's a beautiful song! Listen and grab that single for €1 ($1.37 USD). On the topic of radiating beauty, take a look at Yarah's new profile picture here!

RAZOR: If you're free this Sunday (February 23rd), Razor and OhWhen are throwing a free "Black History Month" show in Beverly Hills. Fellow OGT fam will be performing, such as DJ StarChild on the turntables, Jasson C on the mic, and THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. playing a beat set. Check the flyer for more information!

DEVOUR: Devour's official birthday bash happens tomorrow night (February 22nd) at Mirror Image Studios in Anaheim, California. All ages. Entry is $10 at the door | $30 for VIP (includes meet & greet + a poster + a pic). Peep the flyer for further information.

---------------------------

Hope I fulfilled your OgT fix... until Monday.
This is the last weekend of February, so make it a great one!
Much love, Tiffology.

OGT Weekly 2/17/14

 This is FiascoTheGod and here is the latest scoop on Organized Threat.

Out of all social media sites, Twitter is my favorite and I utilize it the most. From showing love to my personal friends, to posting my blogs, expressing my opinions, and when I see an opportunity to add my input on someones tweet, I do so. One thing I very rarely do is quote lines from Organized Threat MCs. There have been many times that I've wanted to but I haven't. It's for the simple reason that I do not want to seem like a "dick riding" fan. That's one thing I am afraid of doing and I am in a vulnerable position where almost every Organized Threat member follows me on Twitter. I probably already seem like a Lupe Fiasco one because I go by the name FiascoTheGod. I might as well make it clear now, that I am not saying Lupe Fiasco is a God, I am saying I am Fiasco, and I am a God. As much as I want to live my life not worrying about what people think, when it comes to artists that I like and actually blog for it's completely different. I look up to and support these group of men and women and for them to look at me in a negative light, would just suck. I want to say Poetic Death has stated that he doesn't want any dick riding fans but I would really hate to misquote him in this situation but, I do remember him stating on Twitter that he wants intellectual fans, fans who do their research etc. I bring this up because Saturday night I went out to celebrate my boys birthday and we took a picture (which can be viewed by clicking here) and I threw up the #VII that Poetic Death does in his latest visual The Reign Of VII. Of course I didn't think any of it at the time because I may or may not have been intoxicated but, when I woke up the next morning and saw the picture, I regretted it. Although I would support any other fan doing it, and I really feel Organized Threat fans should start doing it to show support, I felt stupid just because in some shape or form I am associated with Organized Threat because I blog for them. And as I am getting deeper into this venting I realize that it is stupid for me to even worry about that when there are bigger things to worry about but, dammit! Fudge it, I'm going to keep throwing up the #VII. :)

Interview With Endure One

My interview with Endure One is up on StreetKhemistry.com. The objective of the interview was to obtain insight on the tape that the Organized Threat producers have put together entitled Threatstrumentals. The interview is a 5 question interview format and I really enjoyed the answers that Endure One provided. There is also a bonus question at the end to let us know what Endure One has planned for this year. You can check out our interview by clicking here. Remember, Threatstrumentals will be released on February 24th.

CONGRATS TO THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A.

THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. just inked a deal with Music of the Sea! This deal gives him the opportunity for his music to be placed on tv, films, and ads. Congrats bro and make that money flow! You can view a picture of him signing the contract by clicking here.

New Sounds

Faces has just recently uploaded to new sounds to his soundcloud. The first is entitled "C.R.E.A.M.". It starts off very well and I was slowly getting into it but that process sped up at the 39 second mark when the voice samples started to drop. That's when I was really into it. Noticing the title of the track you may know what to expect to hear in the voice samples. Now we transition into a dedication song from Faces to his friend Dustyn, who is no longer with us. I feel this is one of those things you just don't comment on but I thought it was important to let you know that this sound does exist. You can listen to the track entitled "For D-Fro (R.I.P.)" by clicking here.

Rellim has posted a new beat to TrakTrain. It is entitled "Water The Garden" and you can lease it for $25 or exclusively for $100. You can do so by clicking here.

Words With Poe, Six For Sev

Poetic Death is giving out "Free Fades" on the Words With Friends app so add his username "VonPoeVii". He also confirms that he will be releasing a new visual on March 7th. If you don't believe me read his tweet by clicking here.

EmptySev tweeted that he has new verses, "Pumped out around 6 verses today.. feel accomplished as fuck. Time for mini celebration". Although we don't know when these verses come out and even when they do, we won't know that they were the ones being tweeted about in that tweet, it's great to know that EmptySev was able to do something that he feels proud about. I hope he was able to enjoy his mini celebration as well.

Don't Fourget

1. News: Poetic Death Will Release ONLY GODZ RELATE on April 13, 2014
2. Album: Bonnie Blue All Things Considered
3. Video: Vida Killz Death To Honesty
4. Video: Razor Sharper Than My Name

I Know U Did

I know you guys enjoyed my OGT Weekly today so consider me, FiascoTheGod, your savior.

Spread Love

Hello, OgT supporters! It's a beautiful, joyous day. Whether or not you celebrate today as a holiday, I hope you all continue to show your love to everyone that you value in life, including yourself. Don't waste the day being negative or bashing others for how they choose to act today. With that said, here's what's been up...

GAVLYN: Gavlyn's tour continues tonight in Stuttgart at the Corso Bar, so be there and show your appreciation! And if you still don't have Modest Confidence, go buy it now... it's better late than never. Follow her on Twitter, too, to keep up with her daily shenanigans.

VIDA KILLZ: Serving as the first installment in her "A Day In The Life" series, Vida posted up the first episode yesteryday. She talks about how she's brought her camera with her everywhere she goes, which results in some behind-the-scenes footage from Poe's "The Reign of VII" video and a little hiking trip that she went on. She also mentions some forthcoming videos and projects that she's working on. WATCH THE VIDEO to find out more.

PAPA J: If you are a fan of Papa J on Facebook, then you saw that he posted a few family oriented photos, like this shot of his parents fresh off the plane from Colombia, a picture from 7th grade, and a very cute picture when he was a toddler in Colombia. Very cool to see a person's earlier life in visuals like that.

JMEGA: Late last year, JMega compiled a collection of 30 songs that he's done throughout the last decade and called it King Of Kingz: The Collection. Earlier this week, on February 9th, he dropped a second volume. Titled Lord of Lordz: The Collection, he pulls another batch of 30 tracks from his vaults and offers them up for the name-your-price fee.

BONNIE BLUE: Today is the day that Bonnie's highly anticipated full-length album dropped. Go stream and download All Things Considered right now! Tonight is her album release party, too. It's an all ages show that begins at 7PM, with a $10 admission. There are performances by Jasson C, Rics Rumble, Nat The Lioness, Jmelen, and several others. Everyone in attendance will receive a free copy of the album. Check the flyer for more information!

YARAH BRAVO: To show her love, your girl Yarah resurrected an older video where she sings and grooves along to a couple of love-inspired songs. WATCH IT HERE. To also celebrate this loving day, she speaks on the One Billion Rising For Justice campaign, which is a global call to women survivors of violence... to break the silence and share their stories. It's a movement that embraces women empowerment and takes the proper action to end violence against women/girls.

FEGGY MIN: Brand new cutsy, candyland-inspired piece from Feggy--this time it's of Korean rapper Trump King (see here). And, remember when I told you that Gavlyn, Feggy, and Sara were filming a video from Modest Confidence? Feggy posted up a little preview shot a few days ago, have a look.

----------------------
That's all. Keep smiling.
Much love, Tiffology

Conversations W/ POE "So what would you like to do?"

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES !

"So what would you like to do?" Mr. Ern Dogg asked VONPOEVII as we sat beneath the setting sun on the back porch of Soul Assassins Studios this recent cool Sunday afternoon, our energies shuffling across the mosaic table along with the playful breeze. My mouth was on the floor and my ears alert more than ever before, yet not simply due to the circumstance, but by the lesson behind the story Mr. Ern Dogg articulated to introduce the question. He told us a story about opportunities and the importance of not taking them for granted, the significance of a productive balance between confidence and Ego, and about pushing forward responsibly. I was the bystander of exchange between sage and student, which to me is essentially priceless. Usually when I'm witness to networking exchanges or business collabs as such, its as if I'm showing up to a soccer game ready to play with a tennis racket and one of those fancy sweaters. As some of you may know, I grew up singing country music and playing Mandolin in a small minded city; the most conservative-concentrated area in the San Joaquin Valley in fact. So, growing up I was largely sheltered by that stupid geographical circumstance, ignorant to a lot wonderful things I never knew existed. And when I found out how much I was missing out on, variations of knowledge and wisdom I(now of age) was letting slip by me, I was beyond resentful. After understanding that there are just some things in life one can't control, I decided I would do everything that I could with what I could control, and learn everything I could through the resources available to me. Hip-Hop culture being one of those wonderful things I never knew existed; I take a lot from these specific interactions between sage and student. I'm blessed to say its something I'm able to relate to, something that I feel that is larger than myself. And every week I learn something new about myself from these OGT blogs I present to you beautiful freaks and geeks; an opportunity that I was given that has now morphed into a philanthropic responsibility. My point being - do everything you can with the opportunities you are given no matter how large or small, and listen carefully to the wisdom passed down from those who left the footprints you now tread. That being said - keep your three eyes open for something very special from Mr. Ern Dogg and the ORGANIZED THREAT Movement. For now, remind yourselves of how fucking awesome 'THE REIGN OF VII' is. Vibe out and let the HUMP DAY soak in. You're welcome nymphs and nymphettes, you can thank me later.

MEANWHILE - BACK AT THE WESTERN FRONT 

#BREAKINGNEWS: RICS RUMBLE just released some new vocals titled 'SupeRics'. Spit over Eminem's Superman instrumental (My personal favorite of Eminem's work), RICS performs this one with an infectious motivation and a bit of a power flex. See for yourself freaks and geeks, as I have so generously supplied the poetry below. Keep your focus on this one cats, stay tuned for weekly updates and chances to support your local OGT fam!
#BREAKINGNEWS: BONNIE BLUE recently announced that she and RICS RUMBLE will be performing TONIGHT at The Jumping Turtle in San Marcos CA. These two always be killin it together, so I deem this a-show-not-to-miss. Follow the little tweety below for more details fellas and fellattes, and be sure to support this deadly duo! #OGT 
#BREAINGNEWS: PAPAJ RUIZ recently announced that he has a new project in the works that has yet to be titled, but is set to release late 2014 to early 2015. Keep your eyes, ears, and minds open for weekly PAPAJ RUIZ and 'iii' news and updates. Follow the little tweety below for more information! 
Also, our own FIASCOTHEGOD announced previously that miss BONNIE BLUE leaked a new performance of some new poetry titled 'On The Edge', which is set to be released this Friday with the rest of her much anticipated album 'All Things Considered'. If you were at all wondering what that sounded like, wonder no more little ones because we now have some visuals for that performance. Behold - Bonnie Blue's 'On The Edge'. Vibe out, sit back, and enjoy. Follow the little tweety below for the latest BONNIE BLUE news and upcoming events.
For all you freaks and geeks overseas, Miss GAV has a show tomorrow in Sala Copérnico , Madrid. Shes been rocking the Modest Confidence tour since the end of January, and is still grinding out there. She goes on stage at 9pm, so if you're in the area, snag your tickets and show your OGT fam some love! #Gavlyn #OGT
Lastly, but not leastly, today is our very own DEVOUR'S born day. Don't forget to show some love and wish your OGT fam a blessed day. After everything he has been through this year, I'm sure today is a very beautiful day for him. HAPPY BORN DAY DEVOUR  !
Well, you freaks
THAT'S ALL, for this week
Stay NA$TY little ones
LOVE

Make'em NV

Hey! How are you all doing? I've been extra happy all week because we released our fifth magazine issue on February 4th, and it's been getting a lot of love and positive feedback. The good vibes have made their way into this Friday, too, so let's get into what's new with the camp.


POETIC DEATH: The wait is over. Poe dropped a brand new music video today! For "The Reign of VII," off of his forthcoming album ONLY GODZ RELATE, the song is heavy and serves as a warning shot to competitors and opposing forces. The video received the black-and-white treatment, with color animations of blood splattering, fire, and billowing smoke clouds. Dark, eerie beat by Ruman. Salute to the general! WATCH THE VIDEO!


Then, for a video series called Platform Collection hosted by the same people at Crappy Awesome, Poetic Death linked up with Mr.Arash to speak some more about Organized Threat and being an entrepreneur. WATCH IT HERE!

RICS RUMBLE: Rics also connected with Platform Collection for an on-the-spot PROSE performance of a song called "Killa Block". WATCH IT HERE!

GAVLYN: Gav is still on her trek through Europe, performing in various cities and promoting her latest album. In between touring, she has been hanging out with our favorite OgT artist Feggy Min! They have posted a couple of photos of them in all black-and-white attire (this one and this one). We also got word that they're shooting a video together for Modest Confidence (a picture on the set). YEP! Look out for that.

VIDA KILLZ: Filmed in her car, Vida dropped a new installment in her spoken word series. It features a piece that she wrote while in San Jose, called "Galaxies I've Counted". In the video, she also briefly mentions her upcoming LP, titled Daydreams and Nightmares. Also, a little random fact: "My present album releases: 21 EPs & 3 LPs. I started writing when I was 13, and released my first LP when I was 19. More soon. meooow. " Get up on some of those projects through her Bandcamp, and Soundcloud.

BONNIE BLUE: Remember that music video that I posted of Bonnie's "Bonnie Blue" track? Welp, you can now download the single from Bandcamp for $1. Look out for her anticipated album All Things Considered on February 14th! Also, presented by Razor and Basement 818, don't forget to hit up her album release party that night! You can find the flyer on Facebook.

YARAH BRAVO: If you didn't know, today is J Dilla's birthday (may he rest in Paradise). As a tribute to one of the most innovative and influential hip hop producers, Yarah Bravo has recorded a brand new song today that celebrates his life and infinite love. Over his "Flowers" beat, watch Yarah kick some beautiful rhymes.


------------------------

I'm gonna end it there. Hope you all have a great weekend!
Spread love and live life to the fullest.
Keep pushin' forward.

After having this cassette in its original plastic since 2008,
I unwrapped it today and popped it in.
Turn it up... a little louder!
XOXO, Tiffology

Do you know who I am?

Hello! It's sort of been a busy week, but I'm so ready to unwind. I'll be in relax mode tonight, kind of. My plans will include making and eating pizza, watching a movie, listening to music, and continue to work on our next magazine issue into the late night/early morning hours. YEP. That's it! So, before I get into all of that, here is what's been up with some of the camp.

BONNIE BLUE: Early this morning (at midnight), Bonnie Blue released her debut music video for a track from her forthcoming album All Things Considered. Heck yeah, visuals! For a little over a minute, the self-titled song and video finds Bonnie spitting a raw piece about who she is and the love she has to keep pushing forward, past any adversity that may come her way. The black-and-white visual breaks into color and the head-nodding, King Al-produced beat (cuts by Spok Beats) comes through, while Bonnie keeps kickin' knowledge of what she's about. Dope track! "Do you know who I am?" BONNIE BLUE! Cameos from Poetic Death and Rics Rumble, too. Watch here or in the mini player below.


GAVLYN: Before embarking on another European tour (January 30th through February 22nd), Gavlyn will be doing a show in Los Angeles tomorrow (Saturday, Januar 25th) at the Jon Lovitz Comedy Club. It will be a hip hop vs rock show, with live performances from Gavlyn, Planet Asia, Killah Priest, All Else Fails, Rebellion Warfare, and others. This is an all ages event, and the price is $20 pre-sale or $25 at the door. Check out the the flyer for more information.

Another interview surfaced--and I'm sure more will soon come flowing in considering the release of her newest album (get it from several online retailers, if you haven't!). Gav met with the people of DaftStar to perform her song "Modest Confidence" and get interviewed. She talks about Organized Threat, her drive as an emcee, inspirations, performing, releasing Modest Confidence, and much more. Check out the video below, or watch it directly on Youtube.

Last but not least, Feggy Min designed another art piece for Gavlyn, where her head is on Minnie Mouse's body, with a mouse-ear beanie that says, "Being Cute And Shit". All pink everything. You may see it on a shirt some day, too.


JMEGA: Brand new song posted up on Youtube by JMega, called "Written In Steel". Produced by Aquarius Minded, the dusty drum beat finds the emcee spitting heavy lyrics while loading his gun, preparing for war, and getting ready to fight for his own . Listen here.

SOULCAT E-PHIFE: ... and she's back on the scene! Soulcat dropped a free 7-track mixtape yesterday, called My Fav Beatz. It is a collection of tracks from a limited edition tape called Street Soul Tape 1, which can be purchased from her at shows, or right here for €5 (or $6.84 USD). The My Fav Beatz mixtape finds her rapping roughly over random beats by Dilla, Nick Wiz, 9th Wonder, and DJ Slow. Stream and download for free at the pay-what-you-want price. She also mentioned that she'll be performing alongside MC Melodee on February 21st, so stay tuned to her page for more information as the date comes closer.

FEGGY MIN: I don't know about you, but I am always curious to what an artist's work space and surroundings look like. Feggy has recently posted a couple of photos to show people her desk area and one wall in the basement of her house. Of course there are loads of art prints and Feggy Min clothing laying around, but you'll also find books, albums, an array of drawing utensils, paint, and cutesy things near by. See here and here. Also, if you've been keeping up with her Facebook page, you've been seeing new art designs and new apparel designs with Russian lettering (see here).

SOMETHING EXTRA: You remember the music video for "For The Moment," right?! You better! Anyway, I don't know if this has always been available to download, but I just saw that you can grab that dope posse track for FREE. Produced by Figub Brazlevic, it features Poetic Death, Gavlyn, Yarah Bravo, and SoulCat E-Phife. Download at Soundcloud!

-------------------------

Have a good weekend!
Live well, and be nice to each other.
Much love,
Tiffology

Many Producers. One Album

This is FiascoTheGod and I am here to provide you with the latest news surrounding the Organized Threat camp. Lets start off with a HUGE announcement.

Many Producers. One Album.

Every single producer from the Organized Threat camp are currently plotting to release a collaboration album in February. Where am I receiving this news from? Thank you for asking and I am glad you are concerned about the authenticity of this news. The news comes straight from Endure One, an OGT producer. He sent me the following tweet, "@FiascoTheGod There's an instrumental album the Organized Threat producers are going to drop early to mid Feb!". Subsequently he DM'd me more details on the album. After chit-chatting for a year about the possibility of an OGT instrumental album, all producers have finally agreed to release one. The album will include two new beats from each producer and although the album is designed for listening purposes, each instrumental will be available for lease. The tape will be released on many websites including datpiff and bandcamp. There are many reasons to be excited about this tape. First, IT'S MUSIC! Talented producers are putting their egos aside and are coming together to design a project. Secondly, IT'S NEW MUSIC! You are receiving two new beats from each producer. This opportunity allows you to get familiar with each producer and if you have a favorite OGT producer then you are GUARANTEED to receive new music from that person. Last, this could provoke the minds of the OGT MCs and have them thinking about creating a collaborative album of their own. Also, many collaborative tracks and/or projects could begin to surface between producer and producer or producer and producer and MC, and many other various combinations as a result of this album. So many great things to look forward to in this album being put together by the Organized Threat producers coming in February. Check out the Organized Threat roster to see all the Organized Threat producers by clicking here.

Somthin' You Got

What attracts you to somebody? Is it something unexplainable? EmptySev, "The Future Within The Future", has released a new track entitled "Somthin' You Got". EmptySev is infatuated with this dream like female. Actually that's exactly what she is. EmptySev wakes up to a dream of an encounter with this dreamy female and it is very fitting that he doesn't have a rational explanation for his infatuation. Occurrences in dreams are very rarely ever rational. EmptySev invites you into his dream with "Somethin' You Got" which can be listened to by clicking here. His album "SEVEN EMPTY" will be released on March 7th.

Reasons To Celebrate

The announcement of an album composed by every OGT producer and the release of a new EmptySev track are reasons to celebrate but, there's more. EmptySev also celebrated his birthday this past weekend! You can view a photo of him with Poetic Death, Razor, THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A., Bonnie Blue, Rics Rumble, and Jasson C by clicking here. Bonnie Blue nearing the completion of her music video is another reason to celebrate! She sent out the following tweet "Just near wrapping my music vid tonight w/ wooooop!". But calm down! That doesn't mean that they are all featured on her track. Maybe some are but they are most likely just making an appearance in the video. Another reason to celebrate is Rics Rumble making Snoop Dogg's "UNDERGROUND HEAT" list coming in at #6 with his video "I'm Broke"! Congratulations! You can view his video on Snoop Dogg's countdown by clicking here and view the video in its entirety by clicking here.
 
Random Organized Threat Tweet

Today's random Organized Threat tweet comes from Poetic Death. He tweeted, "We'd get there a lot faster if we all went in the same car, but everyones tryin to drive solo. You all buy gas from the same pump #LetsFocus". What I really like about this tweet is that it ties in perfectly with what the Organized Threat producers are currently doing. They are all going "in the same car" and are aimed at being focus on their album being a success.

What More Do You Want From Me?

There is your latest Organized Threat news. I have confidence that I have supplied you with a sufficient amount of news to get you through until Wednesday when the next OGT Weekly will be posted. Consider me, FiascTheGod, your savior.

Monday The 13th. OGT Weekly

It's FiascoTheGod and I am here to supply you with the latest news from the Organized Threat camp.

"F.A.I.T.H"

As a result of you keeping faith that Razor would release his album on January 13, 2014, you have been rewarded. Today Razor released his 18 track album entitled "F.A.I.T.H" which stands for Fully Amplified Intellect Towards Haters. Being that the album was released today and my OGT Weekly is today, it is difficult for me to analyze every track or even form a justifiable opinion on this project. With that being said (or typed) I invite Aster or any one of the Tiffanys to provide their opinion and/or analysis of the album on their OGT Weeklys this week. There are some key things that I would like to mention. The album does start off well but the interlude "Billy Welfare Spoken" provides us with a rest point which then sets up for a viscous one-two punch for tracks 7 & 8. "F.A.I.T.H" and "West Kept Secret" are your two hype tracks as I like to call it. Compared to the other tracks on the album these two are most likely to be played in the car with you friends or maybe at the gym. Although this is true, it is important to note that it does not take away from any other tracks on the album. Each track is what makes the album "F.A.I.T.H". And subsequently after "West Kept Secret" we are hit with a track entitled "Dedicated" which features honest words from Razor, "sometimes I lack the motivation to continue my grind". Razor is quick to say that "he snaps back into reality" due to his mature age but it's hard to ignore the personal truth that may strike some listeners. Personally I do feel that there are times where I lack motivation and the process to snap back into reality is not swift. "A Man's World", which Razor uses as the anthem for hard working males, is the first track on the album and I believe that Razor carries his view of masculinity into his track "Dedication" and so it may be difficult for him to admit that there are days where he can't snap himself back into reality. Again, I haven't had a sufficient amount of time to provide a better insight or analysis on the album but for $10 you have the opportunity to create your own voice and opinion. So click here to purchase the album.

Mad Love Dogg

Snoop Dogg continues to show his love and appreciation towards the Organized Threat members and the music that they are able to create. On Episode 40 of his Underground Heat countdown, Rics Rumble entered at #9 for his video "I'm Broke".

MMXIII

Organized Threat producer Faces has released a compilation album entitled "MMXIII". Faces writes, "MMXIII is a complication of the best tracks from my 12 monthly EPs from 2013, [...] The tracklist is planned out to start on a chilled and emotional tone and it phases into more positive vibes until the tone takes a u-turn and darkens and develops a grimier sound. Eventually the album reverts back to it's original calmer style". Even though this is a compilation that features previous work in addition to some new, Faces was still able to recreate a brand new project and feel due to categorizing tracks by sound. He could have easily just threw 20 tracks together and said hey here's my compilation project hope you like it but he didn't and therefore we are more likely to appreciation the mind, effort and music of Faces. My highlight of this compilation would have to be the "13' Till Infinity" track which in total features 4 Organized Threat members. Faces of course produces the track while we vibe out to the poetry of Vida Killz, JG, and Poetic Death. I truly feel that these four have tremendous chemistry and I hope we are able to experience more collaborative music between all four of them. To experience Faces music for yourself and find your favorite track(s) click here to download "MMXIII".

Hello Hi Hey

Good evening, OgT lovers! How are you all doing? I'm doing great--my dog is on the right track to getting better (he was really sick yesterday and I was scared he wasn't going to be OK--thank goodness for veterinarians), I got a lot accomplished, the weather is nice and chilly (60°F right now, and low 40s later tonight), and all is right with the world. I'm gonna get right into it tonight, though, because I have a lot of things to do. Here we go!

POETIC DEATH: Since posting "The Villain" freestyle, The Audible Doctor (the producer of the beat) hit Poe up on Twitter today to let him know that he thought the freestyle was dope. A few back-and-forth tweets later, and they're talking about collaborating! The power of the internet--especially with social sites like Twitter and Facebook--is incredible sometimes. I love that it can bring people together and create such awesome opportunities. I am definitely looking forward to that coming into play, because Poe is a dope spitter and I've been a Audible Doctor fan for awhile (on the mic or behind the beat). Look out for that one, you guys, because they're gonna kill it. Get ready for some audible death! (See what I did there?) Until then, though, make sure you watch and share the video with your friends.

JMEGA: New music video from the True Masterz duo (JMega on the mic + MighGawd on production) for the "Manifesto" single off of their 2012 album, The First Atom. MighGawd drops a head-nodding, boom bap beat with super slick cuts by DJ Grazzhoppa, while JMega kicks raw raps. Dope song. Video directed by Chad aka Poe. WATCH IT, LIKE IT, AND SHARE IT! I wasn't up on TM back in 2012, so if you're in that same position, you should get familiar with their discography over at Bandcamp (they have stuff dating back to 2011). I'll be digging through it, too.

VIDA KILLZ: Yesterday, Vida dropped her first video update of 2014. She talks about her new merch buttons. They are $2 each, but she says that if you order more than one she'll write a haiku about you... so get with that! WATCH HERE! Then, buy a button or two. She will be releasing a video every Thursday, so be sure to subscribe to her on Youtube.

BONNIE BLUE: If you're in San Bernardino, California, or will be in the area tomorrow, make sure you attend the Woman's Art and Music Appreciation Showcase and Benefit. Held at The Office Saloon, your girl Bonnie will be rocking the mic, along with several other talented women in music. There will also be art, live body painting, merch booths, and food from Vegan With Joy. So, if you're 21+, get there between 8pm and 2am... because it sounds like it's going to be a great time. Plus, it's for a good cause. Although it's a free event, any and all funds raised will be donated to a local battered women's shelter. Check out the flyer or the Facebook event for more information.

YARAH BRAVO: My favorite little Captain Love Bubble has been doing the daaaaaayum thang up in London recently. She recently shared the stage with DJ Krush (one of my favorites), DJ Vadim (another favorite), and DJ Cam at KOKOS, and expressed having an amazing time (just look at this picture for evidence). Also, take a look at this throwback photo of she and Krush, and then a brand new one! It's great to see people whom I've been a fan of for several years still kicking it, making good music, and supporting each other. By the way, Yarah is trying to make it out to South America this year. Not only to reconnect with her roots and visit her mom, but to also bless the mic on some stages. If you are a promoter out that way or have any connections, you should hit her up on Facebook!

SARA FLEUR: Sara, the stunning model of the collective, has been posted a couple of new photos this year. The first one finds her beaming with happiness in a DIY crop top of Feggy's A$AP Rocky shirt design. The second photo is a birds-eye-view of her in a pair of dark blue, cut-off jean shorts, and a long sleeve, red crop. Lovely tattoos exposed, too. Make sure you become a fan of her Facebook page or follow her Instagram for updates.

FEGGY MIN: You all better be following Feggy on Twitter and on Facebook, too. She is constantly posting sketches, new works, pictures, and showing love to her fans. Since my last post, she has updated her "한국힙합" (South Korean Hip Hop) album, so take a look through all the work within there. Next up, she has continued in her "candyland" style pieces, adding Iggy Azalea to the bunch--IGGY IN CANDYISLAND. Look at her rocking a cute, bunny-eared, Monster print hat (I still would like to get the Monster sweatshirt!) "I've been really enjoying these "candy, icecream, cake" inspired Artworks lately. Let's make 2014 a Candyland; colorful, sweet and tastyyyy," says Feggy. Also, for the new year, Feggy has set a goal of drawing something every day, so you can look forward to a bunch of new work--whether they're sketches or full paintings. Lastly, for good measure, here's a picture of the artist herself spreading that peace.

-----------------------

That's all for today. Make sure you stay tuned for next week!
Have a blessed weekend!
XOXO, Tiffology

Playing "The Villain"

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES!

If you're reading this, give yourselves a little pat on the back nymphs and nymphettes; for you have made it through the first week of 2014 & what an exciting and fulfilling week it has been. Straight outta the gate we were blessed with new flesh and blood, in the form of new vocals and visuals from the general himself VON POE VII. Yesterday, with the help of RICS RUMBLE & myself, he released a fresh and exhilarating new sound deemed 'The Villain - This is Murder Not Music' freestyle. I be lucky, for I had the pleasure of assisting in the production and even got the opportunity to make a frisky little cameo. Being in the back-shadows of productions like these so often with so much time to observe and evaluate has led me to really appreciate the quality of work produced by VON POE VII and to appreciate the diligence he maintains. In my experience, I have found that some artists use their voice for the sake of mainstream fame while some artists use their voice for the sake of replication. Some artists do it for the money, some do it for the pussy. My point being, some artists are incredibly easy to understand, because they're doing exactly what everyone else is doing; looking for 15 minutes under that blissful spotlight. With VON POE VII, that's clearly not the case. We are continuously bombarded with authentic and off-the-beaten-path material that forces fans and foes alike to really sit down and listen to what the fuck this work is all about. I doubt anyone would disagree that VON POE VII'S thoughts are filleted for all to relate, a strategy that has allowed him to form a close relationship with his fans. His fans [If I may so boldly speak for them] are kept on their toes and aren't given the opportunity to expect whats coming next. And what a beautiful thing it really is to be left in he dark, ready to be awakened and re-awakened by VON POE VII'S mysterious mental. Ah, I'm rambling again aren't I? Well, you freaks, as eager as i'm sure all of you are - here's 'The Villain - This is Murder Not Music' for your viewing pleasure. Also enjoy the behind-the-scenes snapshots featuring the general himself VON POE VII RICS RUMBLE. Please close your eyes and let your mind do the wondering.



DEVOUR also recently announced that he is high in the running for POWER 106'S 'Who's Next' contest, which features underground artists and gives them a chance to gain exposure - serious exposure. The winner is also awarded some car and some fancy trip, but that's worthless against the valuable exposure given in this opportunity. So get to it fellas and fellattes! Go SUPPORT YOUR OGT FAM! Lets help DEVOUR DOMINATE!!!! Follow the little tweety below for information on how to vote for your favorite artist every 24 hours!

Also in the world of OGT, miss FEGGY MIN has also been featured/reviewed in a recent blog titled 'ohsowai'. Find out why FEGGY is referred to as 'Geniusly Odd/ Oddly Genius'. Follow the little tweety below for a link to the fabulous blog, and indulge yourself in FEGGY MIN!!!
Are you as excited for Friday Jan 17th as I am?! You better be, because nymphs and nymphettes, RAZOR'S album party is going to make one hell of a Friday. With CHIEFMASTA STARCHILD [DJ STARCHILD] on the tables and BONNIE BLUE sharing the mic, the show is already set to be a success. Come out to celebrate the introduction of F.A.I.T.H and the demolition of your feelings. Follow the little tweety below for intricate details/address information!!! Support ya OGT fam!
#FRESHNEWS: Miss VIDA KILLZ's project 'Conversations With You' Part I & II has been named one of Folio Weekly's favorite albums of 2013. Please follow the little tweety below to read the excerpt in Folio Weekly honoring VIDA KILLZ art. I wanted to include a quote, but that would spoil the fun wouldn't it ;) Support ya OGT fam!!!

Untitled 2014

It's FiascoTheGod and I am here to provide you the latest news from the Organized Threat camp.

There's A Science To The Numbers
 
Poetic Death is ready to stir things up in 2014. First, it is important to note that Poetic Death has this idea of dropping a music video every 7th of the month. Poetic Death tweets, "I should drop videos on the 7th of every month because fuck it why not?". If this were to happen, it will be a great experience for the members of Organized Threat as well as the fans to witness. Although I know (I really don't but it's most likely) that the goal for Poetic Death isn't to prove his strenuous work ethic by releasing one music video per month, it will only further justify the argument that he is one of the hardest workers in the game. If he ever decides to change his mind that is perfectly fine. It is just exciting to know that it is a possibility. Von Poe VII is also preparing to release a track that will also contain verses from the MC's 2mex and Fawskie. It doesn't end there as the general is preparing to release a music video tonight at midnight, January 7th. Just in case you don't believe me, here is the Tweet for confirmation. He recently posted a picture on IG that showcased him flexxxing his new grills that we should expect to see in a future video(s). You can view that picture here.

99 Cents
 
Gavlyn was recently interviewed by Your Friends House. The interview is a very intriguing read and Gavlyn is posed questions ranging from how she got her name, what it meant for her to perform overseas, and many other questions. Here is a sample of the interview when she is asked about her worst show;

"Worst ever show?

The first show I ever put together. It was a spoken word cafe at Cafe Amsterdam in North Hollywood. I was 16, had a 99 cent microphone, the sound was horrible, and nobody could hear anything."

Personally, I enjoyed reading about how she came up with her name and with an array of topics that are covered by answers to questions from Gavlyn herself, it will be almost impossible to not learn something new about her.

 The rest of interview can be seen by clicking here.

Being Lost Sucks!
 
THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. formulates another thought provoking sound entitled "Lost In Obscurity". I can't begin to stress how important his titles are to his tracks. This title helps set the tone for what you are about to experience. If the title was something completely different such as "Heartbreak" or "Rainbows", we would not be experiencing the same thoughts and feelings that are produced when we read "Lost In Obscurity" and then press play. What is your experience like when the sound travels into your ears and is embedded into your brain? THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. tagged the word "angry" on his Sound Cloud and it's quite possible that is how he truly felt. Being lost in a time where you don't understand something or anything for that matter, would play a factor in my anger as well. You may not feel angry such as he did but press play and leave a comment below or contact THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. via twitter @JustinMuzack to let us know about your experience.

Blue Vida Papa Rumble

Vida Killz is ready to have you guys straight flexxxing in 2014. On Facebook she posted a photo that displays both the front and the back of a T-Shirt that she has planned for release. That photo can be gazed upon by clicking here. She also has buttons for sale for just $2! Check them out here. As a result of the overwhelming support that Papa J. Ruiz has received for his "5:55 AM" mixtape, he will be releasing a track on January 15th entitled "Friends". You can read that tweet along with a heartfelt message composed by the Colorado MC himself by clicking here. On January 25th Rics Rumble will take part in a show at the Airliner in Los Angeles, California, presented by The Cypther Effect. Bonnie Blue will be hosting the downstairs stage at the same event. The flyer is up and can be viewed by clicking here.

And That's That
In case you were still recovering from your New Years Eve party and was not able to keep up with the OGT news over the weekend, consider me, FiascoTheGod, your savior.

First Friday

We're three days into the new year. How are you all doing? Have you been spending it wisely and making the best of it? I sure hope so. Starting today, I (Tiffology) will be taking over Fridays full time. The OgT camp have kicked open the doors and have been hard at work, like always. Here's what's been up lately...

GAVLYN: Gav teamed up producer/singer Soul Scratch to bring you a new song today called "No Reason." I'm loving the beat because it's big, vibrant and extra funky with a great horn section. Gav kicks raps about striving to stay true to self, to never settle, and to keep progressing. Then the buttery-smooth, soulful voice of Soul Scratch comes through... wheewwwwww! I enjoy hearing Gav on a superb tune such as this. Get it, girl! DJ Hoppa on the cuts. Stream it on Youtube, then buy it on iTunes for $0.99! On that note, are you all ready for Modest Confidence on January 17th?!

BONNIE BLUE: Speaking of the vagabond Bon, she dropped a teaser video two days ago where she announced the release date of her debut solo album All Things Considered. THAT'S RIGHT! It's about time, huh? You know you've been anticipating a solo release like I have! While you wait until February, go peep the video and look out for more updates from her!

Side note: You may not remember this, but I'm the co-owner of the website CrayonBeats. Well, last year (2013), we began our very own magazine (digital and physical releases) and we've released four issues so far. This year, we decided to let the public read and download all of our digital issues for free! With that being said, I briefly wrote about Gavlyn and Bonnie Blue in our last issue that featured all women. You'll find them in a spread called "Do The Ladies Run This Motha...?" where I listed several talented ladies that deserve recognition... so, go read/download it, if you wish.

PAPA J: After pushing his album No R3coll3ction on Bandcamp for awhile, Papa J. recently brought it on over to iTunes. So, if your preferred music platform is iTunes, then this is for you! Go show your support and get it there if you haven't grabbed it yet. Also, don't forget to download his most recent mixtape 5:55AM for free.

VIDA KILLZ: Miss Vida announced that she and Self Destruct will be releasing a second collaborative EP, titled Phantom Loose Leaves, due out later this month. She leaked an uplifting track called "Remnants of Death," so go stream it on Youtube. Over melancholy chords and snapping snares, the first half finds a frustrated, yet passionate Vida reflecting back to how earlier, tragic memories have shaped her into an adult who now feels blessed to be alive every day. The second half pieces together quotes from a speech Jobs made to college graduates about death and seeing the positive opportunities from life's setbacks--how one should follow their heart and live life true to self, as if there is no tomorrow. It's a great song, and it has me excited for the rest of the EP.

RICS RUMBLE: Hosts Mr. Arash, C-Rey, and Bonnie Blue welcome Rics on the latest episode (#123) of Crappy Awesome, along with B Side Show co-host Wackoe. They all look back on 2013 to discuss the hip hop scene--such as who has made the "most noise," the lack of respect for the art and history of hip hop, social media being a main component of propelling a new artist's career (versus the hard work that went into getting yourself out there before social networking), and much, much more. It's nearly two hours of quality discussions, so check that out when you have time. Shoot, do what I did and keep doing what you're doing while listening to it in the background.

FEGGY MIN: Always up on her art game, Feggy has posted a couple collages showing the artwork and big things she's done in 2013. For the new year, Feggy is starting a new "FIGHT" series, where she'll be drawing various musicians battling it out in Street Fighter-style scenes (calling it "S(e)OUL FIGHTER"). She posted a picture of Jay Park doing a Hadouken move, and takes suggestions for his opponent should be. She also noted in the comments that, "if you guys like this project, I will draw one "fight" each week and when I post a finished one you can vote for the next battle." Doooope!

----------------------------


That wraps it up! I hope you all have a great weekend.
Be excellent to each other.
XOXO, Tiffology

Twenty Se7enth

Hey, everyone! Tiffology here. I apologize for the late post, but I've been dealing with a whole lot of crazy, not good stuff these last few days, and barely had any time today. I hope you all are having a happy holiday season, with little to no complaints. Keep spreading love, joy, and positivity always! On to the OgT news:

POETIC DEATH: The OgT general himself was interviewed on the Crappy Awesome podcast, where he talked with hosts Arash, C-Rey, and Bonnie Blue about everything that's been happening within the last 12 months. He talked about his tours in Europe, his thoughts on the various problematic issues and dissing that arose within the scene, his work ethic, his plans for Organized Threat's future, and some other stuff. It's an hour and twenty-five minutes long, but very insightful and worth the listen. So, go ahead and click play on the small player below. If you don't have that kind of time right now, you can either return to this post at another time, or use the handy "Watch Later" feature on Youtube here.


Poe is also doing a music video shoot for his song "Perris Boulevard," from his ONLY GODZ RELATE album. This is an open call to anyone from Perris who wants to be in the video. All you have to do is send him an email, and he'll let you know what's up. It will be his first video of the new year, so maybe you should get down with that if you're in the area! Check out the post here.

PAPA J: As FiascoTheGod briefly mentioned in his post on Monday, Papa J released his highly anticipated 5:55AM mixtape on December 23rd at 5:55AM. Blaow! Hosted by DJ StarChild, there are a total of 20 tracks. Taken from the DatPiff site, this mixtape is aimed to inspire a new generation of young people and give them a soundtrack to life. Expect hard-hitting, bass-thumping, snare-snapping, sample-based, and just that super dope percussion-heavy production that we all enjoy. Papa J spits in-your-face, honest, metaphor-dipped rhymes that cover topics of life, hard work, triumph, tribulations, perseverance, social issues, family, and passion. Turn the volume up, nod your head (break ya neck, even!), keep the tracks on repeat until you learn the lyrics, and just vibe outtttt. It's available for FREE DOWNLOAD, so go grab that now. You won't regret it!

Have you seen the official, 8-minute music video for the mixtape? Brought to you by Papa J and Von Poe, it's a split video for "The Se7enth" and "The Youngin," so go watch that right now!


Here's something a little extra for you, too! The first 10 PEOPLE to purchase the "No R3coll3ction" t-shirt ($23), Papa J will also give those 10 people free No R3coll3ction CDs and personally burn the 5:55AM for you and sign it. Get in on that awesome deal over at his BANDCAMP.

While on the topic of that, Papa J and Poetic Death will be embarking on their first official headlining tour together in March of 2014. They will be heading to Europe! You can see the post and the poster for it here. Get ready!

GAVLYN: Gavlyn has been posting a bunch of photos from the Christmas Eve shoot that she did with Insanity Ink. Go ahead and look at a few here--one, two, three, four, and five. If you haven't yet, be sure to fan her Facebook page while you're at it!

RICS RUMBLE: Rics dropped a brand new freestyle track, called "H.E.C.S Freestyle". He spits over Busta Rhyme's "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See." Go listen to it over at Soundcloud.

RAZOR: Razor posted an update on Instagram tonight about his forthcoming album, F.A.I.T.H. He said, "Only got 2 more tracks remaining until my album "F.A.I.T.H." is fully complete. There are a lot of joints that have been written & recorded, but didn't make it on this project........that's not a bad thing though, because it gives my 3rd project an early start ;)" Be on the look out for that, and follow Razor.

FEGGY MIN: Last, but not least, Feggy has been posting several finished drawings and a "work in progress" piece. She posted an "Ol Dirty Bastard" piece (see here). Her "Korean Hip Hop" piece was recently featured on HIPHOPPLAYA. MIN of the Seoul pop group Miss A was seen wearing a Feggy's "Tupac" design shirt (Take a look)! Feggy also drew the girls of Miss A (see here), citing "Hush" as being one of her favorite songs this year.

Ruby Gloom and Royal Vision collaborated on five color contacts (see the poster), which is available for purchase now. What does this have to do with Feggy, you ask? She designed the package artwork! Get 'em, girl!

-----------------------------------------

That's all for now.
I hope you all have a splendid weekend!
Avoid whatever sickness is going around--get that Vitamin C, wash your hands, and stay warm!
XOXO, Tiffology
