SCARY MOVIE

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES !

Howdie doodie #ORGANIZEDTHREAT fans! I hope the evening has come to you in good blessing, as it has me. Its officially my fifth day home from the great NYC, and I can honestly say that I miss the shake of the subway beneath my feet and the sweet smell of the witching hour down by the river. They always said that you don't know what you're made of until you push pass your own boundaries, and by golly if my soul was once only an acre I assure you it is now a continent. After 72 long sleepless working hours, my mental was fully saturated and I had begun to learn things about myself that I wasn't even aware existed. While I sat back fully saturated, I watched VONPOEVII, PAPAJ RUIZ and JOOGY JUGG act if sleep was not a necessity, but simply a choice. Not a minute was the vibrancy absent, not a minute did the work ever turn rest. Salute to all the artists who push the grind high. Though I assure you...

From Cali To Yonkers

What's up Organized Threat fans, members, and newcomers? This is FiascoTheGod and I am here to supply you with the latest Organized Threat news.

"And if I die I smoke a blunt with God until I get to heaven and play the trumpet" - Papa J. Ruiz "Scary Movie - Emergency 55" 55

One of the many dope lines in Papa J. Ruiz's new mixtape 55. Make sure to check it out to discover your favorite lines and song! If you're currently in a struggle in your life and looking for an emcee to relate to and help you get through these tough times, listen to the mixtape!

This past Wednesday and Thursday I was able to meet with Von Poe VII, Papa J. Ruiz, Joogy Jugg, and Aster. I have to say I was expecting Poe and Papa J. Ruiz to be a bit taller!! I was able to hear a couple of OGT stories as well as hear a couple of unreleased tracks. I also saw Poe go to work as a director and that was very entertaining to witness. There have been a couple of times while watching OGT music videos when I wondered who was behind the camera when Poe was in front of it. It turns out Aster is one (if not the only) person behind that camera! Those two days were very memorable and I am looking forward to the next time we meet.

From Cali To Yonkers

Von Poe VII did not waste anytime putting out this visual! Just a few days after shooting the video Poe gives you "Bishop's Revenge". Von Poe VII performs the track in a NYC setting with appearances by Joogy Jugg, Papa J. Ruiz and the producer Saeed Sha. If someone were to ask me to describe NYC I would probably tell them bright lights, tall buildings, good food, and diverse people. The first two apply more to the setting of NYC but, Von Poe VII does not opt for such a setting. There is of course the side of NYC that is rugged and dark. The scenes chosen by Poe are a perfect fit for who he is as a poet.

New JMega Dropping

Von Poe VII has just tweeted that there will be something new dropping from JMega The God. Poe tweets "New @JMegaTheGod dropping at midnight".

Razor has also tweeted that he is dropping something new with JMega The God. It is unknown if Poe's and Razor's tweets are related. Razor tweeted "Dropping some new shit tonight, featuring my nigga @JMegaTheGod (Produced by: @RUMANSAYS). It's been long over due! #OrganizedThreat".

Razor informs us that he is currently shooting a music video for his track "Pearly Gates". View the IG post by clicking here.

"Anyone can take a life but can you carry the memory?" - Von Poe VII "Dear Summer" ONLY GODZ RELATE

Most people are physically capable of carrying out the action of ending someones life. Applying this to the street life where murdering someone is praised upon and shown as a sign of masculinity, how the killer handles it mentally after proves if they are human. It takes a lot more to keep the memory of ending somebody's life then to pull a trigger.

Until Next Monday

There is your latest Organized Threat news! Make sure you take a second look at the blog and share it with a friend or two. Most importantly spread the word on Von Poe VII's new visual for "Bishop's Revenge"! Once you have completed all three of those tasks you can consider me, FiascoTheGod your savior.

See What's New With OGT

I am FiascoTheGod. The clown on top of the tree. The wind in your hair. The raisin in your cookie. And I am here to provide you with the latest Organized Threat news.

Befive we begin, I would like to reply to a question that was proposed by Aster in her last OGT Weekly. The question of if people deserve a second chance. My answer is yes. The reason I say yes is because I know that I would like a second chance at a multitude of things if the opportunity presented itself. Although you could, it's not reasonable to expect people to succeed the first time around. Do you succeed the first time around in everything you do? If not, then why would you expect someone else to? People do deserve a second chance.

Allow me to inform you guys about a paper I have written. Oh, you allowed me? Thank you very much. Today I handed in a paper for my Literary Criticism class. I had to apply two literary theories to a text. The text that I chose was "Regret" by Poetic Death. This paper was probably the most challenging paper I have ever written. Partly due to the fact that this class is difficult and I do not 100% understand the criticisms that I used for the paper. I am sure not all of you are familiar with literary criticisms, but the two I chose were Lacanian and Deconstruction. I am not confident at all with the paper I handed in today, but here is an excerpt of the paper that I think you guys will enjoy:

The mirror stage does not cease at the end of verse one. Lines 38 to 43 showcase the aspect of the mirror stage when the baby knows since it can no longer reunite with the mother, it needs to seek attention and love from others. In this case Poetic Death seeks support “Cause Life Could Be a Trip Without Support From Those Who Need You / I was Told To Overcome / I Had To Build My Own Foundation / That Could Out-stand / Even The Toughest Of Situations” (38-43). His own foundation turned out to be Organized Threat. Organized Threat is a movement of artists that seek unity. The members of Organized Threat show love and support for Poetic Death and in return he accepts it because he cannot go back to the period of “oneness”  with his mother.

Basically in that paragraph I claimed that the reason why Poetic Death created Organized Threat was because he was searching for support and love from others because he was aware that he could never return to the period of "oneness" with his mother. "Oneness" meaning in his mother's belly. That's pretty deep stuff right? If the paper receives a grade that I am satisfied with, I will share the rest of the paper with you all.

I am sure there are new Organized Threat fans reading this so just to let you know, "Regret" is one of Poe's older pieces of work. He has taken down the video but, you can read the lyrics and listen to the track on Rap Genius by clicking here.

SEVEN EMPTY

EmptySev released his album "SEVEN EMPTY" this weekend and it can be streamed and downloaded by clicking here. You can own it for free but, you can also show your support for this piece of art by contributing a few dollars. I've been praising "Bloody Sabre" ever since he leaked it before the album released and now after my first listen today, I am praising the thought provoking track "Believe You Me". Let me know what tracks you are feeling in your first few listens to "SEVEN EMPTY" by leaving a comment below.

Poe Shooting A Video For "Paradox". Rellim Where You At Booooooy?

Von Pon VII tweeted Rellim to let him know that if he is still in L.A. that he could come through to the video shoot for his newest track "Paradox" which is produced by Rellim. Rellim still hasn't replied to his tweet though. Will Rellim ever respond to Poetic Death? Or did he not want to make it public and they communicated privately? Is Rellim permanently in L.A.? Will I ever get to...never mind. So many questions. Only one OGT Weekly.

Poetic Death has informed us via Twitter that he will be dropping videos for both "ONLY GODZ RELATE" and "VON POE VII" every month. You can gaze upon the official tweet by clicking here.

80k Or Nah?

Papa J. Ruiz challenges you guys to help get his video "Bout iiiT" to 80k views on the Youtube. Can we do this or nah?....Yah! We can so click here to view the video and share it with a couple of friends! Or if you just made a new enemy, show them this video so you guys can stop beefing and be friends! Yes to more friends!

That Concludes Tonight's Episode 

There is your latest Organized Threat news composed by me, FiascoTheGod. Remember, read the blog at least one more time to absorb all this new information. Pass along the news. Show someone new to Organized Threat and start them off with this blog. Befive you enter into a slumber, consider me your savior.

OGT Weekly 4/28/2014

"My circle getting smaller as my life goes on" - Von Poe VII, City After Hours

This line spit by Von Poe VII on his latest album ONLY GODZ RELATE had me thinking about my own circle. In contrast, my "circle" has actually grew within the past year. In a way it is a surprising way for me to admit this due to my playlist being filled with Hip hop songs and I am sure everyone of those MCs in my playlist have said that their group of friends diminished over time. This is not to say that because a lot of MCs have said this before, that it takes away the value of the line nor the credibility that Von Poe VII has as a poet. So the fact that I have listened to such words time and time again, I would think that my life would resemble that part of being a MC. Because lets be honest, some fans want to live like their favorite music artist(s) in at least one way. Not that it would make sense for me to consciously push people away in order for me to hold together the faction of me and my two other friends but, perhaps in an unconscious way. Unconsciously me wanting to live one way or another like a Hip hop MC. I'm very pleased to realize that my "circle" has grown over the past year. These people have supplied me with intriguing conversations and countless laughs. I have yet to go through a hardship over the past year but, if I do, I have a good feeling that they will be there. Having a small group of friends does not seem to be for me.

I am FiascoTheGod and I am alive to supply you with the latest Organized Threat news.

Expect New Video(s) Soon

Both Devour and Von Poe VII tweeted about upcoming videos. Von Poe VII tweeted "New visuals coming soon man, can't say much outside of that. - VII". Devour tweeted today asking us if we are ready for a new video. It is not known if their tweets are related so we will have to wait and see.

Yarah And Vida Tease You

Yarah Bravo and Vida Killz are on the verge of releasing new projects. Yarah Bravo's EP entitled Love Is The Movement is scheduled to be released tomorrow and she released a teaser for it which can be viewed by clicking here. Vida Killz is currently working on her LP entitled Daydreams And Nightmares and that is scheduled for a June 2014 release. She has released a snippet for one of those tracks on the album entitled Remember. Click here to listen to the 16 second snippet.

Vida Killz has also released Lady Death Pt. IV which will also be on Daydreams And Nightmares.

It's On Buddy!!!

THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. has composed and released a new sound that he calls It's On... When I read the title I am confronted with the thoughts of fighting and aggressiveness. THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. throws me off balance when the sound is actually played. Of course I didn't expect for him to come out with an aggressive sound, he seems like a very peaceful guy. But, if you (THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A.) ever have that moment when you need to let out some aggression, through music, go for it!!! Depending on your initial thoughts when you read the title, THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. does showcase contrast. It's On.. is for sale and you can contact him at fequalsmc@gmail.com.

May 3rd Seven Empty Will Be Released

Don't forget that EmptySev will be releasing his album Seven Empty on May 3rd. EmptySev pours out a lot of knowledge about the album in my interview with him so check that out by clicking here. Be prepared before the album gets released!

An Organized Conclusion

Now that I have supplied you human beings with the latest Organized Threat news, it is time for me to enter into a slumber. Before you enter yours, make sure to read over the blog at least one more time in order to fully grasp the news and music you have been dealt. Even Santa Claus checks his list twice. Oh, and you can consider me, FiascoTheGod, your savior.

ONLY GODZ RELATE 4/14/2014

This is FiascoTheGod and I am here to provide the latest Organized Threat scoop.

ONLY GODZ RELATE IS HERE!!!

Well...where do I start? I should start off by stating that I have listened to ONLY GODZ RELATE by VON POE VII/Poetic Death. Although I have done this, I only listened to each song once. For me to proceed by analyzing this album or letting you know my favorite tracks, would be disrespectful. You may think I am being lazy but, am I really? This guy just put in work for the past several months and you expect me to go in depth on a 30 track album? No. It's not going to happen. There are still a few things I would like to shed light on even though I won't be able to go in depth about them. Poetic Death is known to inject historical information in his poetry and indeed he does so in this album, it is very noticeable on the track Road To Kemet where he and the features on the track shed light on the history of Ancient Africans. Not only does VON POE VII aim to assists with bringing knowledge to the forefront of Hip-hop, but he also utilizes an element in Hip-hop that could be argued has been lost. That element is DJ'ing. DJ Starchild provided the cuts on ONLY GODZ RELATE. VON POE VII says that ONLY GODZ RELATE "marks the next chapter to the introduction of Goth Hop / Sludge Hop, a combination of morbid poetry mixed with a desire and strive for a higher level of consciousness and overstanding". ONLY GODZ RELATE indeed continues the "Goth Hop / Sludge Hop" that first began with VON POE VII. To pre-order a copy of ONLY GODZ RELATE and help contribute to the campaign, click here. To check out my exclusive interview with VON POE VII/ Poetic Death, which focuses on ONLY GODZ RELATE click here.

And There Goes The Surprise...Lol. Thanks Sev!

I was trying to keep the interview I set up with EmptySev, a secret from my Street Khemistry team. I was keeping it a secret just for the simple fact I wanted it to be a surprise. EmptySev ruined that with this tweet!! "Tried typing up answers for this interview w/ @StreetKhemistry on my phone and my hand got numb as fuck. Haha I'll do it on the PC tomorrow". The interview will focus on his upcoming album SEVENEMPTY and I know the questions that I composed will force EmptySev to provide new and intriguing information not only on the album, but on himself. The album is scheduled to be released on May 3rd.

Upcoming OGT Performances

And It Ends Like This...

There is your latest Organized Threat news! I was thinking about adding in a "Don't Fourget" or a "Random Organized Threat Tweet" (if you have read my previous blogs you'll know how those go) but, I decided to put as much attention on the historic release of ONLY GODZ RELATE. To show your support, leave a comment below that contains some of your favorite lines that can be heard on the album or tweet them to him @VonPoeVII. Once you have done so, you can consider me, FiascoTheGod, your savior.

OGT Weekly 3/31/2014

One, among many things that I am excited for on ONLY GODZ RELATE, is hearing from Soulcat E-Phife and Yarah Bravo. Honestly, those two MCs out of all the others on Organized Threat I am least familiar with. One part is due to my ignorance on how to convert currency and not knowing how much their music is. Although I have heard a couple of verses from each artists, their verses on ONLY GODZ RELATE will be their introduction to me. And I am sure it is their introduction to many other Organized Threat fans. I don't know if they realize that their verses on this album are very important, not only because it helps complete what is ONLY GODZ RELATE, but because I hypothesize that Organized Threat fans in North America are not that familiar with their work, they must come correct on the track they are featured on. After stating that, I am not worried at all that they won't. I have realized that every MC in OGT is always focused on giving 100% all of the time and are all aimed at injecting true poetry and intellect to Hip hop and I am sure that Yarah Bravo and Soulcat E-Phife are capable of doing the same.

This is FiascoTheGod and I am here to supply you with the latest Organized Threat news.

ONLY GODZ RELATE TRACKLIST REVEALED

Of course what helped birth that introduction was Poetic Death/VON POE VII's decision to officially reveal the tracklist for ONLY GODZ RELATE. This can be gazed upon by clicking here. EVERY ORGANIZED THREAT MEMBER WILL BE ON THE ALBUM!

JMega The God 

JMega The God releases a new track entitled Metal Armz which is produced by Aquarius Minded. Click here to listen. JMega The God's flow was flawless on this track. Looking at the title of the track, I thought of two possible meanings. The first, I imagined JMega The God taking a superhero/godlike form, with literally metal arms. Using these superhero/godlike metal arms, he was able to birth these incredible lyrics. The second, which probably does not apply to this track, I was thinking about guns. That just may be because I've been listening to a lot of trap music lately. lol :)

As It Travels, The Sooner The Sound Arrives

THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. reminds us that he is working on his album As Sound Travels. He tweets, "In the lab working on this next album.. I want to make sure this record is as clean as I can make it! #AsSoundTravels.. coming soon".

Negative Space Vinyl Campaign

As mentioned in the previous OGT Weekly, Vida Killz has started a campaign in order to raise money to make Vinyls of her Negative Space album. There are various different amounts you can donate and each comes with unique incentives. Click this link here to read the incentives and find out how to donate.

Wrap Up

We really are getting closer folks! It is difficult to not talk about the anticipated album that is ONLY GODZ RELATE. Each and every week, at least around the time that my OGT Weeklys are due, new information surfaces about the album. Each week, Poetic Death/VON POE VII embraces what he has created. Each week, OGT fans are curious to what new information will release. The wait will soon be over. April 13th, 2014 ONLY GODZ RELATE. Before you continue with your Monday routine, take a second or third look at the blog, listen to JMega's track, and absorb the news. Oh, and if you are following a Monday routine, BREAK IT! DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT! You can now consider me, FiascoTheGod, your savior.

OGT Weekly 3/24/2014

More than a year later since I started blogging, I am here. I never fathomed the thought that I would one day be blogging for my favorite music artists. But I am here. My writing skills have increased tremendously since blogging for Organized Threat back in October and each Monday is a testament to that. I am in a great position and I am always thankful for every opportunity that presents itself. I find it very difficult to say no, even though I may want to, to an opportunity where people actually want me to be a part of their team. Of course, I never thought about saying no to the position to blog for the OGT Weekly. Denying this position would of been one of the worst decisions I would of ever made in my life. There are millions and millions of music lovers out there but, how many can actually say that they blog for their favorite artist(s)? I am very thankful to be one of those people and because this is true, I really do feel good about myself. To say, "I blog for Organized Threat" is just one of the coolest things ever. Now I can add to the list of "cool" things, I have interviewed Poetic Death/Von Poe VII.
 
Poetic Death/Von Poe VII Interview With FiascoTheGod & Street Khemistry

If you guys didn't know, I also blog for Street Khemistry. Knowing that Poetic Death/Von Poe VII's album ONLY GODZ RELATE was set to release April 13th, I thought it would be a great idea to obtain insight before its release. That's exactly what I did. Using a 5 Question format that we (Street Khemistry) like to call 5 In The Chamber, I interviewed Poetic Death. You can read the entire interview by clicking here. Below is one of the questions followed by the answer (of course):

5. Why have you decided to release ONLY GODZ RELATE under your alter ego Von Poe VII instead of Poetic Death or even your other alter ego Lord Darcia?

- To be honest, the entire embracement of the idea to really push the “VON POE VII” name came from a conversation I had with my brother JMega The God back in October of 2013 after coming back from Europe with Gavlyn and Papa J. Ruiz. While overseas, I became extremely irritated at the promoters for not putting my name on the flyers. For example, the typical flyer we’d see over there would be “Gavlyn and Organized Threat” or sometimes just “Gavlyn”. The problem was (as I swear this to you), at EVERY SINGLE SHOW the crowd was not only happy to see me there, they went crazy during my set. At every show. I’ve never really had fans in the States, most of fans have always been from overseas or Mexico because all the producers and collabs I would do since I was 16yrs old were with artist outside of the States. So for me it was like “Yo, put my name on the flyer so my peoples know I’m out here”. A lot of my fans are older, they don’t do Twitter or Facebook or none of that shit feel me? So in that sense a lot of my fans missed out on a lot in 2013. I came back and told Mega that I felt like a lot of these promoters didn’t want to put the word “Death” on a flyer and would rather promote sex appeal. That had nothing to do with what Gav wanted, but that’s just how these promoters work. She’s young and very attractive, they’re gonna milk it as much as they can. So yea I came back and Mega pretty much hit me with the science, he was like “Well my nigga to be honest, even though death is a natural thing, it represents the end your physical being. So for you to be out there putting out that energy, it’s going to be harder for you to really pull anything positive from it. Music or not, is death something you really want to be promoting?”. Yea man, that shit blew my mind. So he hit me with that, and we started building on the power of the number seven and how the “VONPOEVII” album should be more of an introduction to VON POE the artist. Dropping the “death” moniker and embracing the godliness that lives within all of us. Oh and just to bring it full circle, I use the Roman numeral in my name because I feel that Rome is to Europeans what Egypt is to Africans / African Americans. I am a Black Man, but I was brought up in America, a White Man’s world. So I want to pay respects to both, even though the Roman’s got their lessons from the Egyptians.

Lastly, my Lord Darcia character came to life at a time when I was dealing with a really bad breakup. So for me, that’s where I want that memory to stay. If I end up going through another breakup or something to that effect, I’ll bring him out again. But as of right now, I’m pushing the VII (seven).

What I really like about his answer is that we, the readers, obtain juicy historical information. We learn that Poetic Death's named was not featured on flyers even though he was performing at the show. We learn why Poe thinks that his name wasn't featured on flyers. We learn about about a conversation that he and JMega The God had. Like whaaat. That's crazy information packed into one answer! Absorb that answer because you never know when a game show host will ask you question about Poetic Death that requires one of these answers! I'm serious!
VON POE VII Will Be Re-released

Poetic Death announced on Facebook that he will be re-releasing VON POE VII with an updated cover and playlist this Friday. Since there will be an updated playlist, this could mean we will see previous tracks that were found on previous projects make there way onto the album. Maybe the playlist is just being rearranged with the same tracks. The first possibility seems more plausible though. It will be interesting to see how past tracks will fit into VON POE VII. He also goes on to say that this will be part one of the Villainz Trilogy. You can read the Facebook status by clicking here. 

May 25th 

Papa J. Ruiz has a big announcement on May 25th. He tweeted, "PEEP: Productive day, Out Here Griiinding BIG ANNOUNCEMENT May 25th! S/o @knowledgevision @joogyjugg #iii #OGT #55".Clicking on the link to that tweet will also provide you with a picture of Papa J. It looks as if he is either do a photo shoot or possibly shooting a music video. By tagging Joogy Jugg in the tweet I can't help but speculate that Papa J. has decided to do a music video for a track that Joogy Jugg has produced.

JG Releases New Sounds

JG drops a whole leap of sounds on soundcloud. Although he is known as a producer for Organized Threat, he is very capable of ripping the mic. The sounds recently uploaded on is Soundcloud contains older verses from him as well as instrumental tracks that he has now decided to release. Check them out by clicking here.

Nicer Than His Name

Tomorrow Razor will be dropping off a surprised "Merch Package" to one lucky fan. The package will include 1 copy of my "Sharper Than My Name" album, 1 copy of my "F.A.I.T.H" album, 1 copy of Papa J. Ruiz's "No Recollection" album, 1 copy of Poetic Death's "Von Poe VII" album, 1 "Lyrical Prophet" poster, and 1 #OrganizedThreat "Silencer" T-shirt.

Wrap Up

There is your latest scoop on the Organized Threat camp. Before you move on to your next task, please take a second read of the blog as well as check out the interview I conducted with Poetic Death. You are bound to learn something from the interview! I certainly did! You can now consider me, FiascoTheGod, your savior.

Untitled 3/17/2014

At the time Poetic Death released VON POE VII, I was a brand new listener and there were many things that impressed me about the album that convinced me to stay a listener. One of those things was Poetic Death allowing Overstand Basics to recite one of his own poems on the album. Yes, it is labeled as a skit but I see it as a track on the album (I normally don't consider skits as a track on an album). Why did it impress me? Well for one, it is a sick ass poem. Secondly, Poetic Death basically let another person obtain some sort of shine on his album and Poetic Death was not even part of it. It wasn't Poetic Death featuring Overstand Basics, it was just Overstand Basics. To me, that showed me that Poetic Death is more concerned about putting out the best possible piece of art. If that means allowing a poet to do his own thing on the album, then Poe is willing to do that. As fans/listeners/admirers/bloggers we should all look for that when we are searching for an artist. We shouldn't settle for someone who is not willing to let another artist obtain some shine just because he or she believes that since it is their album, they should be the main attraction and all attention should be focused on them. We should not settle for less because it is our time and money that we invest in.

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

Overstand Basics To Be On ONLY GODZ RELATE?

What triggered the thought to compose that introduction was a brief conversation Poetic Death and Overstand Basics had via Twitter. Poetic Death tweeted "@overstandbasics bro can you shoot me that poem again, the email got scrambled". Now I know I may look like an idiot now. There isn't much to come to the conclusion that Overstand Basics will indeed be on ONLY GODZ RELATE but there is a possibility. Of course that isn't saying much when I can basically say something outrageous and go, "well there is a possibility". But no, really...Overstand Basics appearing on the album seems like a possibility.

Update From The General

If you haven't noticed, there has not been much activity going on with the Organized Threat Youtube channel. The general, Poetic Death acknowledges this in a recent Facebook status. Click here to read what he had to announce.

Poetic Death To NY

Poetic Death tweeted that he will be going to New York in May. He confirmed with me via Twitter that this trip will be to shoot a music video with producer Saheed who is confirmed as one of the producers on ONLY GODZ RELATE. You can check out our brief Twitter exchange by clicking here.

The Latest On JG

Producer JG has created a Tumblr page that will focus solely on "background information on [his] tunes". JG entitled his page THE SITES & SOUNDS OF JG. In his first blog post he mentions his contribution to Vida Killz' Negative Space project:

The “Intro” and “Outro” to vidakillz Negative Pace album were actually sent to Vida as one track. She split it and turned the resulting pieces into the opener and closer of this fantastic album.

This is a really good idea by JG. The Organized Threat fans will surely enjoy background information about the music that JG has created. Fans receive historical information and they are also reminded of older pieces of work and may feel inclined to go back and listen to it. (I am not implying that nobody listens to older pieces of music. We don't always remember ever song by each artist, you know?). It would be really cool if other members of Organized Threat decided to do something like JG is doing. Even if it's not on a consistent basis, it will still be intriguing to learn background information, when we do obtain it. To read the rest of JG's blog, click here

Papa J. Ruiz x JG

It looks like Papa J. Ruiz and JG have something in the works. JG tweeted Papa J. mentioning that he would like to have a verse on a beat entitled Butter that he sent him and Papa J. Ruiz gave him the green light. Eventually Papa J. received JG's verse but wants a longer verse from JG. You can peep their Twitter conversation by clicking here

Formulating A Thought

THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. recently sent out a tweet that is composed of his opinion on some MCs. He tweeted, "I feel like some mc's run out subject matter so they go back to same themes Money; choes, drugs, cloths cuz it sells and people will dance". Now, at this moment I do not have a response. Although I do not have a response, I do not think he is out of line either. What I would like to know as I am sure he is as well, is your opinion. You can do so by leaving a comment below or replying to the tweet itself.

Peace To The Movement & Support It!

It's That Organized, It's That Organized....

This is FiascoTheGod and I am here to supply you with the latest Organized Threat scoop.

Honestly, I don't even know what to write about! Not much happened since Friday's OGT Weekly so I am trying to think of an intriguing introduction to the blog but I just can't and it sucks! Besides one new track and one bit of news I have for you guys, the only other thing I can think of mentioning is that Poetic Death's ONLY GODZ RELATE is going to be released next month! He was able to confirm via Twitter what we should expect from the album  "#ONLYGODZRELATE: April 13th, 2014 + 30 Tracks + Duel Disc + and more. #VII". He also tweeted that the second disc of the album is "feature heavy", "DISC TWO is definitely more "feature" heavy, well worth it though" . Even though we don't know everything, what we do know so far is enough for us fans and bloggers to be hyped up about this album. And of course the blogs will have the album up on their site within the hour of its release but the truth is there is no way you can do an accurate and full analysis of a 30 track album. I will be guilty of this when I blog about it on StreetKhemistry.com, but it's because people want the news at the soonest possible second! And I am going to type a bunch of general things about the album without even fully understanding every track nor the album as a whole. This is not because it is a 30 track album, it is because it is a project that has been worked on for countless months, maybe years. For me to attempt to go in depth on the album would be disrespectful in my eyes. But, I might actually do it anyway just because of the simple fact that I don't always like to compose general blogs. So I am in a conflict, it is my responsibility to blog about the album within the hour of it's release and on a personal level I don't want to write a crappy general blog but at the same time I feel that's all I will be able to do at that moment. So yeah..this introduction kind of spiraled into a mini venting session. Anyway, to check out the track list so far for ONLY GODZ RELATE click here.

Mega Track

JMega The God has released a new track entitled Mercury. Over this Aquarius Minded produced track, JMega is able to showcase why he has "God" in his name. "In the fire / I'm still standin' in the fire / In the fire / Never get burned". And don't forget to check out his latest visual w/ True Masterz entitled Angelz and Demonz.

Gavlyn Contest

Gavlyn and beatstars.com are having a remix contest! I am not totally clear on how this works but it seems this contest is designed for producers. There are two Gavlyn Acapella's up for purchase. One is Too Cold To Trust and the other is Forward Back. Follow this link to understand how to enter.

Until Next Time

There is your latest in Organized Threat news. In case you were to busy in NYC preparing over the weekend for the snow storm that never happened or you were on the west coast doing...well I don't know what you guys do over there, just consider me, FiascoTheGod, your savior.

OGT Weekly 1/27/2014

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

10K

Poetic Death has finally reached 10,000 likes on Facebook! Congrats! If you haven't liked his page yet click here to do so. Keeping his word of planning to release a music video on the 7th of every month, this year, Poetic Death reminds us. He posted on Facebook, "Going to be dropping a new video on the 7th of next month. Thank you all again for helping me reach the ears of 10,000+ people here on Facebook, it means a lot for real. Let's get it folks, next goal is 50,000+". If you missed his January 7th music video for "THE VILLAIN", click here to watch it.

Poetic Death, Papa J. Ruiz, and JMega The God will be on Soul Assassins Radio on Shade 45 at 7 pm PST / 10 pm EST. Check out the flyer here.

Hex

Rics Rumble and Jasson C were featured on a track entitled "Hex These Haters". It is produced by Eat Da Babies. Rics Rumble effortlessly switches from rapid spit fire to an on tempo flow with the flick of a switch while Jasson C flows naturally over this hard hitting production by Eat Da Babies. Both Organized Threat MCs conquered this track and I would love to see these two collab more often.

Soo Bright

Producer, Endure One recently released a track entitled "Shine". This is a beat he released 2 years ago but he finally uploaded it to his Youtube channel. Let him know what you think by contacting him via Twitter @OGT_Endure or leave a comment below. Bringing into thought the title of the track and how it starts off, I can't help but place myself in my bed with the sun shining through my window as this plays as my alarm tone. All my morning activities are currently replying in my mind as this instrumental is playing. And because it is playing I am imagining those activities in a more positive light when in reality they are very difficult to perform due to lack of sleep. So put a positive twist to your treacherous mornings and play Endure One's "Shine".

Don't Fourget

Video: Bonnie Blue "Bonnie Blue"
Album: Gavlyn "Modest Confidence"
Video: Jasson C "747s"
Album: Razor "F.A.I.T.H"

And That's A Wrap

There is your Organized Threat scoop for today. So don't forget to tune in this Thursday to hear Poetic Death, Papa J. Ruiz, and JMega The God on Soul Assassins Radio on Shade 45 at 7 pm PST / 10 pm EST. Also, check out the "Don't Fourget" portion of this blog to check out any previous work that you may have missed from the talented artists of Organized Threat.

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". You can check out the countdown by clicking here and click here to view "I'm Broke" in it's entirety.

Modest Confidence

It is important to note that tomorrow Gavlyn will release her album "Modest Confidence". She will be having a release party tomorrow at the Whiskey A Go Go in Hollywood, California at 8:00 pm. Click here to purchase your ticket(s).

Birthday Boy

EmptySev is having a birthday bash on January 19th at the Wheelhouse Bar in Hemet, California and doors open at 6 pm. Performances will include Poetic Death, Bonnie Blue, Razor, THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A., MC Sincere and more. Click here to view the official flyer for more info.

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".
