Leadership and Success / A plethera of new visuals from the camp

My perspective has changed over the past few months of what success really means. I always associated success with being an expert in a certain field. Sometimes I associated it with having a lot of money and sometimes I associated it with living the way you want to live. My perspective is now that success is measured by how many people have been better off because you were alive. Organized Threat founder Von Poe VII, at a young age has already made a lot of lives better. Von Poe VII has given a lot of people the platform of Organized Threat to expand and grow their careers. On top of that, he has shot countless popular music videos for OTHER artists inside the camp and to my knowledge those come free of charge. Even him giving me the opportunity to be a personal blogger for Organized Threat has made my life better. If you are a current or former OGT member can you say that your life has been better because of  Poe? The following tweets from Von Poe VII are what inspired those thoughts..

I sacrifice so much time for others, doing shit that does absolutely nothing for me or my dream. But I do it, for reasons unknown to me...

— CHAD A. MARSHALL (@VonPoeVII) June 14, 2015

All I ask is (whenever around me) that you remind yourselves of all the time, money, and energy I've spent pushing my dreams aside for you.

— CHAD A. MARSHALL (@VonPoeVII) June 14, 2015

...and that when I slide through asking for help, that yall dig deep to pull through for me like I always do for my loved ones.

This is FiascoTheGod and here is your latest OGT Weekly!

Von Poe VII


Von Poe VII appropriately takes part in session 7 of the BARS series from Organized Threat. Mr. 7 heads into a dimly lit setting with dirty white walls to showcase his lyrical skills. His verse actually comes from "Interlude: If iii" which can be found on Papa J. Ruiz's album HR-1955. Thanks to the meaning behind the BARS session, which is to showcase the lyrical talent of OGT, we are given an alternative way of experiencing of that Poe verse and in return can appreciate it more. I didn't know he was performing inside of a bathroom until some intruders walked in to wash their hands. Poe deciding to shoot it there shows his (or whom ever decided it was a good idea) ability to visualize.

As mentioned in the introduction Poe has been serving his people a lot. Whether he realizes it or not here, he has done it again with the BARS session. Instead of choosing a verse from one of HIS albums or creativing a new verse that again would focus on HIM, the verse he chose serves as another way to lead people to Papa J. Ruiz's album HR-1955. Now when someone asks Poe or an OGT fan "Where is that verse from?", we can now lead that person to Papa J.'s album.

Von Poe VII will be releasing a visual tomorrow. Although he's been on social media talking about his visual for "Titan" we shouldn't expect that to be the visual we see.According to a recent tweet from Poe we will be seeing a visual for "Dante's Inferno / Loyalty" before "Titan".

Gonna hit yall with visuals for "Dante's Inferno / Loyalty" first though. #VILLAIN

Papa J. Ruiz

From his HR 1955 album, Papa J. Ruiz has released his visual for "Rap Records" produced by Ruman and "LA Resident" produced by Joogy Music. The director is none other than Chad A. Marshall. It begins with a quote to think about by Eminem and leads to Papa J. Ruiz performing "Rap Records" with confident posture. We also witness SHORTSTOP give his contribution with his performance of "LA Resident".

The way the visual is broken up is definitely different then the way videos are usually done when there are two tracks in one visual. With my first time around I'm not sure how I feel about the setup. I believe if Organized Threat continues to play around with that approach it can only get better.

While indulging himself at the waterpark, Papa J. Ruiz had a supporter approach him. Click here to read the short version of the story via a tweet from Papa J. Ruiz.

According to a recent tweet, Papa J. Ruiz will be commencing music for 2016 "real soon" and promises to deliver nothing but classics.

Organized Threat

Vida Killz has new music waiting to be released, she just needs some time to take care of other things. In the meantime you can read her most recent blog entitled "Living With Her" and learn more about "Self-Care Crisis" cards she created. Both are related to PTSD. Through her personal experiences and research she has developed a system to help you obtain a fully optimum day, daily. If you ever encounter a moment throughout your day when you just can't shake a feeling that may be preventing you from being happy, Vida Killz' "Self-Care Crisis" cards will aid you. This is indeed an action of a successful person.

Yarah Bravo performed on the Music Apartment one June 3rd and under their Youtube channel they have released four Yarah Bravo performances. The Music Apartment is based out in Switzerland and they are a showcase series that puts focus on an artist in an intimate setting. I have placed "I Found Love" below. You can view "Be Your Own", "Spare Change", and "Carousel" by clicking each of the track titles. Even if you have heard these tracks before I recommend watching all of the visuals due to the great job done by Music Apartment and the fun you will have watching Yarah Bravo perform.



"life's a bitch." and "myst" with Vague003 are two of the newest releases from OGT producer Rellim. Both are free to download. They each differ in sound so depending on what mood you're in you'll probably prefer one over the other. Right now I'm liking "myst" a lot. With a comment below let us know which one you like.





Vic Virtuoso links up with Ben Franco (Non-OGT Member) for their visual "DRUGS". It definitely feels different to see a current OGT member in a visual not shot by Chad A. Marshall but, Vic Virtuoso holds it down and is without a doubt the star of the track. From all the content released as an Organized Threat member so far, his verses on "DRUGS" is not the typical.

There You Have It

There is your latest OGT Weekly and now it's time for me to jump off a cliff and before I hit the ground, metamorph into a cat and stop in my tracks because look, there's cotton candy.

Get ready for Papa J. Ruiz's HR-1955 album with the official album teaser. It is set for a March 25, 2015 release.

Vida Killz

Vida Killz has officially released her short story collection Thoughts While Dreaming: Collection 1. I'm looking forward to picking this up to explore more of Vida Killz' literature via her short stories.

If you were unaware, Vida Killz has commenced selling hardcopies of Negative Space again which are available by clicking here.

Three New OGT Albums

The Purity of Love and War by Von Poe VII

Von Poe VII doesn't waste anytime relaying powerful words in The Purity of Love and War. "Basquiat" commences the album and Von Poe VII makes tremendous use of words in this track. It's eye-opening jaw-dropping poetry. The ending skit on "Basquiat" featuring Jay Z gives you an idea of what the album is about.

It is also important to note that Poe has included 5 tracks that can also be found on his previous albums VONPOEVII and ONLY GODZ RELATE. I really like that idea because if new listeners like those tracks (for example, "Cowboy Bebop") they will go back to those albums. Basically it's a great way to still promote those albums while at the same time focusing on the new one.

Although it is hinted in "Basquiat" that the album is about love and war on the road to success I also feel that it is the love and war that Poe has experienced since being in the Hip-hop scene. He has made a lot of relationships within and outside Organized Threat and I believe that the The Buttress and Papa J. Ruiz solo's represent the "love" experience. As far as the "war" experience, Poe isn't shy in relaying his tenet of the current state of the rap game and his experiences with former Organized Threat members and those who tried to beef with the threat.

As far as putting focus on single tracks I appreciate the contrast between the tone of production and tone of Poe's voice in "Dante's inferno". The insertion of previous tracks such as "Phlegmatic" also remind me of my favorite lines from Poe such as the following "And my word is bond but, they don't understand it / so now I'm posted up in the garden with 2 leprechauns and a bandit". To this day I still don't understand what the garden, leprechauns, and bandit are supposed to represent and it doesn't bother me. It just fascinates me to keep thinking about what it could mean and those words strung together make prevent the track from being scant in poetry.

Words that are evoked when listening to The Purity of Love and War; poetry, frustration, genuine, yearning for something more (maybe recognition).

Samples Of Fire by Joogy Jugg

This 15 track beat tape from the Organized Threat producer Joogy Jugg features an array of sounds. All rappers are welcome to utilize these beats to their advantage. All we ask is that you give the proper credit to Joogy Jugg. Organized Threat is not only a movement but a family. That comes into play when Joogy allows Rellim to get a slot on his tape with "Jazz Work". Tracks like "Blue Flame, "THinkHiR", "Du Wop", "Sunlight", and "Cruising U.S.A." are some of my favorite tracks and justify Joogy Jugg's usage of the title Samples Of Fire. 

Before You Enter; The Ghost Room by Xican Brown

Xican Brown is one of the newest additions to the Organized Threat roster. Although we have seen his visual "God's Gravedigga" we still didn't know too much about him. His new album Before You Enter; The Ghost Room gives us more insight on his creative mind and who he is as an artist. Tracks like "Holy Water" and "Change for 20 Cents" are tracks you really do not want to miss. Live From The Ghost Room will be Xican Brown's next album.


New OGT Audio

JG releases the last single off his upcoming Stay Still album with "Strict" featuring Vida Killz


Jasson C goes on a lyrically onslaught in his new sound "OG Diablo".





New OGT Visual

Yarah Bravo bilingually expresses herself in her new visual "Carousel".


Von Poe VII starts the release of visuals for The Purity of Love and War with "Basquiat". This is also his first visual of 2015.

Words From Fiasco

There is your new OGT Weekly! To make sure you have everything down pact, check it over a second time. If you don't know how to introduce somebody to Organized Threat, this OGT Weekly will get the job done. I'm not going to hope you enjoyed this OGT Weekly because I know you did. I composed it.

#BREAKINGNEWS: Starting Januay 2015 Organized Threat will begin the process of their group album. The album is also scheduled for a late 2015/early 2016 release. To prove that I am not lying, I have strategically placed the official tweet below.

#QUICKTHOUGHT: As a fan/listener/follower for Organized Threat looking in from the outside, one thing does concern me about the process of this album. That one thing is the loyalty of members. I'm not questioning the loyalty of anybody right now in the group but, we've seen a fair share of members leave the camp this year. Anything can really happen in a year with any one current member. Goals change. Mindsets change. It happens. Imagine what would happen if the members from the begging of this year all decided to work on the album this year? It would be ruined. But, I am assuming Von Poe VII used his good judgement and does not question the loyalty of the current members of Organized Threat. With that being said, this will be the very first Organized Threat album. The album will mean so much more if everyone who is on the first one is on the last.

Song Of The Blog: Play JMega The God's  "Veterans Day" while reading up on the latest Organized Threat news.

Welcome to my dungeon. This what you waited on. This what you waited on. This is FiascoTheGod and I am currently alive to supply you with the latest Organized Threat news.



I can feel it my soul



When Poe laces up and puts on his grill you know the visual is about to be fire. Even though this is Poe's visual he was able to balance the attention and put the appropriate amount of focus on the dancer Reginald Anthony Webber Jr. The scenes of Webber dancing with the pillars surrounding him, may be the best scenes Chad A. Marshall (Von Poe VII) has ever shot. "Cowboy Bebop" is produced by Ruman and can be located on Von Poe VII's album ONLY GODZ RELATE.


Did You Know This About The Threat? 

As I continue to not only be a blogger for Organized Threat but, as a fan as well, I always want to learn more about them. I was able to get in contact with Von Poe VII and have him send me five facts about Organized Threat. Here are 2 of those 5 facts below. The 5th fact was a question I came up with on my own because it's something I've been wondering about. So I crushed my wonder and asked the question. I also urge you to go read the rest of the facts because I also included a lot of dope music by Organized Threat, too.

2. Organized Threat was started in 2006 by Chad A. Marshall and a Spanish teacher from his Highschool, Chad A. Marshall is the only original member still in the camp (if you don’t include the reboot of the group that happened in 2012).

Fact #5 is one that I was personally interested in so I had to make sure I obtained the story behind this fact. A sample of a gentleman saying “Organized Threat is the future” can be found on a couple of OGT tracks. This is how it happened.

5. Von Poe VII said, “the bum sample came from a trip to Vegas while filming “Black Pyramid”. He wanted a cig and I told him only if he said OGT on camera. I felt it was cheesy for an MC in the camp to say it. Kinda bias you know? But a bum on the street? Golden”.

Click here to gaze upon the entire blog.

Reality Check



Razor accurately translated the ruthless feeling in the track to the visual with his manifestation of his actions in this visual directed by Chad A. Marshall. This track and more can be found on Razor's album F.A.I.T.H. Although this album is dope, according to Poe, we can expect even better on Razor's next project.

Actually, this new @ThisIsRAZOR project is sounding disgustingly dope. Goddamn, we finally getting that RAZOR we've been waiting for.
— CHAD A. MARSHALL (@VonPoeVII) October 12, 2014

More Music From The Threat

EmptySev dropped a new track entitled "Gas Chamberz". Faces must have really went into a grimey no holds barred mind state to produce this beat. It is currently getting daily rotation in my playlist and it ranks right next to my other favorite track by him "Bloody Sabre".



Jasson C blesses us with his first single "Dolphins (Tom Hanks)" off his upcoming album. We witness a focused (as always) Jasson C on this track who's looking to get awards like Tom Hanks. If you ain't doing it big don't do it at all!

Vida Killz Destructs and Rebuilds in order to take charge and lead in her latest EP Destruction: Rebirth of Self. This is a collaboration effort with producer GRIEF78 and this is their last installment to their trilogy.

Organized Threat has also this Organized Threat Mix series. There have been two volumes released so far. The first one was composed by Rellim and the second by Ruman. Both feature several quality tracks from a few artists from the camp. I really think this is a good way to get someone into Organized Threat. If you know someone who hasn't heard of Organized Threat yet, send them these two mixes. And if you're really friendly, show a random person at your local grocery store.

OGT Mix Vol. 1 by Rellim



OGT Mix Vol. 2 by Ruman

JG has released a real piece of art in "The Prologue EP". This is his first installment in his Stay Still series. JG says,“The concept for the upcoming Stay Still is that the world has essentially ended. And the tracks take you through the types of people and feelings that someone in a post apocalyptic world would see/feel. But it’s so far removed from the actual event that the event itself lies in some folklore grey area”. What really impresses me about this project is JG's voice and delivery. I don't know how to explain it in a rational matter. His delivery is just smooth and uncracked. Almost like there are no faults. JG really raps his ass off in this project and I honestly think he has potential star power. Click here to listen.

If JG has one role (either MC or producer) I would really like to hear him spit a verse and see how he matches up with the other elite MCs of Organized Threat.

Limited Edition Posters!

Papa J. Ruiz has released limited edition HR 1955 posters up for sale on his bandcamp. There are only 4 left so if it's something you are unsure of getting I say go for it! You don't want to have any regrets later on. In order to prevent your potential regret, click here to purchase the limited edition posters.

#SECONDBREAKINGNEWS: Organized Threat officially welcomes new member Koolz One.



Koolz One spits about the Hip-hop he grew up on and that's what makes this the perfect introduction. With a new artist in the camp brings new opportunities for in house collabs and I am looking forward to that.

FiascoTheGod closes his blog with a few words. He won't see you again for a whole month!

Before I conclude this OGT Weekly, I want to give a quick belated birthday shout out to DJ Starchild!

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES !

Welcome once again to the Weekly Wednesday Update of all things #ORGANIZEDTHREAT ! This past weekend I had the privilege of assisting VONPOEVII with the production of his latest visual component. Its always an interesting experience filming with sir POE and 'Ready to Die' was of no exception. I'm a sucker for the smell of books - small books, large books, old books - you name it! So the garage library-laundry room combo was right up my alley, so to speak. Even more exciting, we had an audience of ghostly peacock birds cheering us on while filming the outdoor scenes. Ghostly because they only spoke and refused to come out and play. Ghostly because they kept reminding us they were there in an invisible way. Though it was a refreshing sound that traveled with the wind up the sides of the canyon echoing as it rolled along. I'm not sure how many of you would agree, but the best word for this shoot seems to be 'lovely'. Lovely for me because of the memories i made while shooting it, and lovely for you because WHO DOESN'T like to see VONPOEVII shirtless? Filmed entirely in the #SFV ! If you haven't gotten a chance yet, check out the poetry that is 'Ready To Die' posted below. Follow the little birdy for VONPOEVII updates n dirty jokes.

This is FiascoTheGod and I will continue to present to you the latest Organized Threat news.

Von Poe VII makes a statement as the leader of Organized Threat in his new visual "Ready To Die" and it is produced by OGT producer Faces. In this visual Poe performs his blunt track which is his expression of "frustration that comes with being a leader in a group of starving artists, and how difficult it can be trying to keep everyone's mind focused on on the overall goal and not just themselves" (Quoted from his YouTube description). The selfishness has to cease to exist. There is a contrast though in both the lyrics and visual. Even though Von Poe VII states that the track is focused on his frustrations as a leader, there is a brief mention by the poet that shows in the end he still has hope. Poe says "I'm tryna put my niggas on my nigga / I'm tryna turn us into millionaires / And I'm just ridin' to the beat my nigga / Cause all this talent really ain't fair / I'm flexin'". Not only are those words a sign that Poe knows it will work out in the end but, he is still smiling and enjoying himself in the video! The easy listening and calm beat produced by Faces may have influenced those lines as well! There's no way he could be completely fed up!

College graduate THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. has birthed and released a new beat entitled "Casanova". The first thought that surfaced in my head was the game Castlevania which I actually have never played. Of course that thought has to do with the title and not what sound is behind the title. THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. keeps on supplying the feel good tunes! Positive vibes! Will a dark side ever surface? This is where you press play...
Oh and by the way...you haven't responded to my text. :/

Devour looks to close out June in notable fashion. First, Devour plans on releasing a new visual along with director Chad A. Marshall (Von Poe VII) on Wednesday. It is unknown of which track it actually is but, you can view the official tweet by clicking here. For proof that is is directed by Chad A. Marshall please allow your index or middle finger to click here. Devour is also having a Meet & Greet and Pop - Up Shop on June 28 in Tempe, Arizona. Click here for full details.

"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.

Papa J. Ruiz Takes Over And More About Organized Threat

I am FiascoTheGod and I am here to supply you with a lot of news in today's OGT Weekly.

Papa J. Ruiz Takeover 

Without a doubt the buzz was around Papa J. Ruiz this weekend and he delivered in A+ fashion. Not only did he own this weekend but he birthed two things that will allow this weekend buzz to follow him for the rest of the year and beyond. First we are presented with a new mixtape by the Colorado MC and he calls it 55. It contains 5 tracks of Papa J. Ruiz spitting over production by Justice League, J. Cole, DJ Premier, The Hitmen, and Riddle. Before you head over to check out the EP, click here to view the trailer to prepare you for what you are about to experience. Just as the trailer does, you will hear inspirational and wise quotes from other hip hop figures and during your listening journey you will hear Papa J. Ruiz create his own. You can also show your support by purchasing an "iii" beanie which comes with an immediate download of 55. As of right now there is only one left so click here to pick up the last one!

"Kick me when I'm down / Tupac, homie still I rise" - Papa J. Ruiz, Song: Regardless Of The Outcome

So far "Regardless Of The Outcome" is my favorite track off the EP. This is due to Papa J. Ruiz's signature raw delivery and what he is spitting about in the song. It's the pure reality of "the struggle". It's real, it's alive, and he is able to deliver a quality song about it.

Papa J. Ruiz continues with good news with his announcement of his next upcoming album. It will be released late this year or early next year and it is entitled HR-1955. You can click here to view the official tweet.

Latest With Von Poe VII

Von Poe VII has openly discussed with The Buttress on Twitter about their collaboration. This discussion begins with The Buttress tweeting Von Poe VII that she has sent him her verse. That tweet can be viewed here and that also leads to the rest of their conversation that shows Von Poe VII's reaction to what he has received.

Please continue to support Von Poe VII's IndieGoGo campaign by contributing to the funds for the production of hard copies of ONLY GODZ RELATE. There are tantalizing perks such as reserving an actual hard copy to receiving multiple merchandise and even a shout out on the album.

Memento Mori

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES !

Welcome minions, once again to this weekly Wednesday ORGANIZED THREAT update. I'm happy to be with you at this moment, in the many days of our lives, and to be able to relay such coverage on a group that emits such radiance from within a world that constantly attempts to snuff its own flame. There's hardly anything more positive and motivational than watching someone chase and fulfill their dreams, that is until you get in a room full of those someones. For those of you who are wondering how they do it, what F.O.R.M.U.L.A they follow, how they stay afloat in an ocean of diversity; I may have an answer for you. Memento Mori, a message that reminds all of us that one day we will have to die, a message engraved within our times' ticking clock. A reminder that we were given this one and only life and damnit we better make something of it. A reminder that every second counts, and that even if you tried you couldn't waste a minute. Because you humans, actions are your forte', the only difference between the successful and the unsuccessful is a man made state of mind. Though we are encapsulated by our own rigorous personal discovery concerning the matter, its always nice to be able to reference a sound paradigm like that of ORGANIZED THREAT. 

Memento Mori; Make it Count, whatever it may be.

Paradox. Read The Latest Organized Threat News Composed By FiascoTheGod. Paradox.

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

"They say I drink too much but they don't think enough so who's further?" - EmptySev. Song: "Believe You Me". Album: "SEVEN EMPTY"

Celebrate Life & Death In "Paradox"

As promised, Von Poe VII has dropped a visual for "Paradox" which is beautifully produced by Rellim. Although "Paradox" can elicit the feelings of laid back, calm, and chill, through it's SOUND, the lyrics if listened to carefully over and over again you can sense at times a heartless and frustrated Von Poe VII. That in itself is indeed a paradox. Sound vs context of lyrics. The part of the hook when Von Poe VII spits "Searching for the fame got me lost inside the game" can also be seen as a paradox. Looking at the rap game today, some rappers who lack heart and creativity seem to be the ones being famous. Why is it difficult for Von Poe VII to reach fame when he is one of the MC's/poets who have heart and creativity? (Not implying that's all that it takes to become famous). The rap game is a paradox. Von Poe VII does not seem to stress this as he turns to celebrate life and death in his visual. Yes, there is another paradox. The poetic lyrics by Von Poe VII including the way they are delivered and the poetic sound birthed by Rellim, receive a very poetic visual. "Paradox" can be located on the "Von Poe VII" album.

Expect a video dropping on May 31st. Von Poe VII informs us of this in a very poetic tweet.

JG Writes And Produces His New Track "The Sacrifice"

JG just dropped some serious heat! Check out his latest sound entitled "The Sacrifice". He justifies his egotistical approach with an impressive rhyme scheme and confident delivery. This is from his forthcoming project entitled "Stay Still".

THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. Provides A Piece Of Tranquility

THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. has a new release entitled "Tranquil Sunday". He is very straight forward in this track as what you read in the the title is what you absorb through your listening session. This is probably the perfect song to listen to on a Sunday, the day after a hangover. :) And listening to this during church could probably be the worst decision of your life. Unless you're an atheist. Well, then why are you in church anyway?

Devour Show Coming Up

On May 23rd Devour will be performing in North Hollywood, California. Organized Threat members DJ Starchild and Razor will also be a part of the show. Click here to view the flyer for more details.

"Need to pay the rent cause when broke and bummy, the world look at you funny like god damn, Earth birthed another alien" - Papa J. Ruiz. Song: "CO STATE OF MIND". Album: "NO R3COLL3CTION"

Documentary, Music, News, & More In Today's OGT Weekly

This is FiascoTheGod and I am alive to provide you with the latest Organized Threat news.

In last Monday's OGT Weekly I showed you guys a part of my paper that I wrote for a Literary Criticism class. It was on Poetic Death's track entitled Regret. I have received my paper back and I earned a B+. Here is another part of the paper.

--

“The baby becomes aware of its body only in bits and pieces [...] When the awareness of being separate comes, as it must if the individual is to move from nature to culture, the sense of unity with others and other objects is lost and, along with it, the sense of security that it provided. With the baby desiring a return to that earlier period of oneness  with the mother, its needs at this point turn into demands, specifically demands for  attention and love from another that will erase the separation that the baby knows; but such a reunion is not possible. One can never return” (Dobie 65-66).

Would you claim that the sense of yearning to hug your mother is an example of wanting to be back in that period of “oneness”? In the first verse of Regret, Poetic Death writes “And When My Mother Passes / Will I Ever Get To Hug Her” (19,21).  Pondering the thought of wanting to hug his mother is exemplary of what is defined by Dobie and Lacan as the mirror stage. Since Poetic Death knows that he can never return to that state of “oneness”, especially when she is not physically present on Earth, he hopes to do so spiritually in the afterlife. Could it be possible that if an afterlife does exist, that Poetic Death can actually go back to that state of “oneness”? Lacan does not touch on the afterlife so we are left to ponder that thought.

--

The first paragraph describes what the mirror stage is. In her book "Theory Into Practice: An Introduction to Literary Criticism" Ann B. Dobie assists in helping to describe what Lacan meant by the mirror stage. The second paragraph is the application of the mirror stage to Poetic Death's poem/track Regret.

Now we shall proceed to the news.

The Latest On Von Poe VII

Von Poe VII  has re-uploaded a 20 episode documentary on Youtube that he calls "L.I.F.E.". This documentary covers his life from 2011-2012. I have not watched it yet so I cannot yet comment on it. I should be able to watch it by my next OGT Weekly so I will be sure to provide my thoughts. Since I did not know about Organized Threat during those years, I am very pleased to be introduced to the earlier history of Von Poe VII and Organized Threat. It is of great interest of me to know as much about Organized Threat as possible. I am sure it is to you so click here to begin watching the documentary.

Informing us via Instagram, Von Poe VII tells us that he has finished designing the hard copies for "ONLY GODZ RELATE". Once he arrives at the halfway mark for the fundraiser he will begin to get them pressed. To donate to the fundraiser click here. Click here to view the Instagram photo.

Von Poe VII has been working with MC The Buttress and they have been creating a track together. A music video by the first week of June is also possible. To prove that I am no liar, click here for the official Facebook post by Von Poe VII.

New Music Soon From OGT Producer

True Masterz (includes JMega The God) drops a new visual entitled "Microphone Champ". The visual is directed by Chad A. Marshall (Von Poe VII) and is produced by MighGawd. This is from their album "High Explosives Vol. 1".

Until Next Time

There is your latest Organized Threat news! Until next time! And while you are waiting until next time 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.

"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.

Can You Handle The Knowledge?

It's been a week since VON POE VII released ONLY GODZ RELATE. Unsurprisingly people are still talking about it on social media, and I learn something new with each listen, whether that be a historical fact or a line I didn't previously catch.

In order to survive in the Hip-hop environment, you have to keep up with the current sound. And when an artist does this, it is very important the he or she does not compromise their lyrics and subject matter. Matching the current sound of Hip-hop is not something I would see Poetic Death worry about. And I am sure he didn't worry about it while creating this project because he has stated many times before that he creates music only for himself. If matching the current sound of Hip-hop was a concern to him, then cool, I don't blame him. But, I guess if he was concerned about  matching the current sound of Hip-hop that doesn't necessarily  mean that he didn't create that song for himself. And what is the current sound of Hip-hop? Dammit I just got a headache. I'll say that trap beats are one of the current sounds of Hip-hop. The whole point of this was for me to surface to attention the track Styles and Ranks on ONLY GODZ RELATE. The sound of this track as well as new flow from the God was definitely new to VON POE VII listeners. When I listened to it for the first, second, and beyond times, one thought came to my mind. If there is one track on this album that I would have to present to somebody to make them want to listen to more of him, it would be Styles And Ranks (if there two others it would have to be THE VILLAIN and The Reign of VII). Why would I have them listen to Styles And Ranks? Well there is just that thought in my head that having them listen to one of his more poetic, dark, and complex sounding sounds,  would be a fail to make them intrigued in more of his poetry/music. There has been a resurgence of demand from fans to want organic and complex lyricism in Hip-hop but damn, I just don't think they are ready for VON POE VII. I don't want to gas him up or seem like a fanboy that won't hop off his nuts but damn, it's just my honest opinion. Compare the knowledge and mythical references that Poetic Death makes to some of the biggest names in Hip-hop right now. No one comes close.

So what was the point of all of that? I don't know. It's just something that is on my mind while composing this blog. Maybe I'll look at this tomorrow and think that what I wrote is completely garbage or maybe my beliefs that I just stated will change. Maybe Poetic Death and others in Organized Threat will disagree with everything I just typed. And I'm okay with that, too.

I am FiascoTheGod and I am alive and prepared to present to you the latest Organized Threat news.

Razor & Sev

Razor contacted EmptySev via Twitter in order to obtain his email address. Razor tweeted "@sevenxempty what's your email fam? Got some new heat for you on my new project ;)". Sev of course responded and supplied him with his email. Let the organizing for a Razor and EmptySev track begin.

Blu Steel

Director Chad A. Marshall (Poetic Death), True Masterz (includes JMega The God), and producer MIGHGAWD all organize to bring to you their latest music video entitled Blu Steel.

EmptySev Faces The Chamber

My interview with EmptySev has been published to Street Khemistry. I designed the interview to focus on his upcoming album SevenEmpty which is scheduled to be released on May 3rd. Although it is what I expected, I appreciate the effort that EmptySev put into answering the questions. Organized Threat fans will really enjoy this interview because EmptySev provides juicy historical information on the project. So if you want to impress your friends with your knowledge of the album that hasn't even been released yet, make sure you check it out. Here is one question followed by the answer, from the interview:

4. Taking a close look at the coverart for this album, I noticed three 7’s in art. The first two are more obvious than the third. The position in which the female is holding the two swords, forms two 7’s. The third 7 which may not be so clear to point out is the way the female is positioned kneeling on the floor. Looking at her upside down, is the third 7. How does the depiction in the artwork properly represent the album that is Seven Empty?

Bro, that album cover holds some history. A couple years ago the homie started doing some modeling and would post her pictures up every once in a while, she had this one picture that was like the dopest shit to me. I meant to ask her if I could use it as artwork for a track I was gonna upload but always forgot to. Now a couple months ago we were just kickin it and I randomly just remembered she used to model and had a picture I liked, so she came over, we searched her laptop for that bitch, I found it, and that was that. I didn't know back then why I liked it so much but now it makes perfect sense, I'm so glad I didn't use it for a fuckin single. haha to be honest I never noticed that 3rd 7 you found, kudos to you. I usually just write 2 sevens on everything since the Sev in EmptySev is short for Seven and serves as the 3rd. so yea, I never looked past the two sword 7's. As far as what it represents, well, when you look it at the cover the first thing you'll probably notice is the light taking over most of the image, I like to think of this album as my first official "enlightened" manifesto. Followed by the naked girl sitting there quite peacefully, representing purity and naturalism. Then you have the swords, I've always been drawn to swords. They give the girl a sense of power, that edge that says "Don't fuck with me though" haha, you know? It sets the perfect mood for whatever I wanna say on this album.

Wrap Up

For those of you that have your Spring break coming to an end, I am a glad to have it concluded with my latest OGT Weekly as well as my interview with EmptySev. After you take a second and third look at the blog in order to absorb my thoughts and the latest OGT news, consider me, FiascoTheGod, your savior.

The Before and After

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES !

Welcome my minions, once again to this weeks' Wednesday OGT weekly addition drenched in everything ORGANIZED THREAT! Its also my pleasure to continue with you past a crucial moment in times turning pages: the release of VONPOEVII'S #ONLYGODZRELATE. We have left the before and finally transcended the after, little ones. Can you feel planets dis-aligning?! Do you feel the blood under your skin starting to boil? Do you feel reality start to peel away like wallpaper? Do you feel yourself starting to turn into a wolf? or perhaps, wolf-ette? If so, GOOD, keep listening. Fully loaded with 30 tracks of blood, sweat and poetry, I find it hard to refer to the project as an 'album' because the simple definition doesn't even come close to doing justice to such a natural display of expression. To describe it as anything essentially confines it; a definition is easy to settle for but it also limits other possible avenues of interpretation. For example, an apple is usually an apple. But it can also be a form of pipe, weapon, and in some instances a bribe. The beauty of art and other aspects of life, I believe, is not held solely within the intent of the creator, but also within the beholder's individual interpretation. The beauty of art is within its boundlessness, and I believe #ONLYGODZRELATE is an exemplary paradigm of this. I am more than honored to have contributed to VONPOEVII'S project and if you haven't seen yet; get ready to strip off ya britches! Because #ONLYGODZRELATE [Full Length] has recently been added to YouTube! Click the link, get ya asses over to the channel and make sure to take advantage of the FREE DOWNLOAD as well!
