Never dumb it down

PAPA J: Tonight, Papa J had a show at The Roxy Theatre in Denver, and Poe was in the building to support. Were you? If you were there and if you took pictures of the performance, make sure you post them up and tag Papa J! Also, yesterday he dropped a brand new music video. From his 55 EP, watch the video for the outro track "Emergency 55," where you'll find him spitting razor-sharp, raw raps about staying true, loyalty, and not dumbing down his lyrics for anyone. Cameos by Poe and Joogy Jugg. If you still haven't downloaded the EP, GO DO THAT NOW. Watch the video in the mini player below, or click this link to watch it in HD.


RICS RUMBLE: There is a massive two-day festival this weekend called 626FEST (buy your tickets here) that you should know about. Over 80 indepedent music artists--veterans and local talent--will bless the stages over the course of Saturday and Sunday. And, guess what? You'll find Rics Rumble performing on Sunday (June 29th), so make sure you hit up that event! Get more information on this Facebook event page.

VIDA KILLZ: If you didn't know this before, earlier this year Vida Killz created the Absit Omen collective, which is aimed at inspiring others and cultivating community through art. With that, she is currently working on a book based around experiences of being a human (announcement here). If you have any interest in this book and receiving updates, go ahead and sign up on her mailing list. Regarding the project, she said, "My idea for this book is to share experiences and wisdom of being a human being. If you are interested in this, please take a moment to sign up for the mailing list below. (I know, more emails :p). I will be sending out the first email regarding this project in the next few weeks. Also, if you know anyone who might be interested in this, feel free to share this with them. Lastly, there are only 10 slots left for this first book. Sign up now."

DEVOUR: Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeey! Would you look at that... Devour is here in my hot state of Arizona this weekend! I didn't know that until just now, so if any of you are AZ residents, make sure you hit up this meet & greet pop-up shop. On SATURDAY, he will be in Tempe (1948 E. University Dr., Tempe, AZ 85281) from 2pm-6pm (flyer). It's a free event, and all ages, so if you have nothing else going on... go say what's up!

GAVLYN: If you don't follow Gavlyn on Twitter, you should probably go do that right here. She updates there a lot more frequently than anywhere else. For example, she recently posted a behind-the-scenes picture from a shoot she did, saying "Photo shoots are funs". Her hair is two-toned now (black/dark brown with chunks of orange-blonde), too!

YARAH BRAVO: Yarah recently did a photoshoot with Gutta Soles, where she posed with a bunch of their shoes (have a look). While you wait for the customized Yarah Bravo rolling papers, stickers, and even canvases, go ahead and pick up the Love Is The Movement album on vinyl or CD from HHV.DE (or straight from Bandcamp)! And, although it's over 3 weeks away, she announced a show on July 19th at Club GRETCHEN in Berlin, where she will be on the 90s Hip Hop Floor (Check the event).

Good night!

[WWU]

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.

When the sky darkens...

POETIC DEATH: Being that today is Friday the 13th, I feel that this day is a good lead in for what's new with Poe. We have seen the sneak peek photos and the talk of the brand new song that Poe recorded with The Buttress over the course of a few weeks now... and, finally, all of that excitement was met with the official music video a few days ago! Produced by Critical Distance, "COFFIN" is wrapped up in a mellow, head-nodding beat that finds two dark-minded, inner sinner rappers letting us know that even when they're dead, they'll still resurrect from the grave and raise hell on Earth (from the hook: "When the sky darkens, I'm awoken from my coffin). Poe takes on the first cult-like verse with a don't-give-a-fuck attitude and deadly, bury-you-where-you-stand rhymes. The Buttress creeps in with a hair-raising shriek just before she pulls grimy raps from the depth of her gut. This is her first collaboration, and I think they make a good team because it's a dope track. Special cameo from Aster, where she plays a spell-conducting, possessed girl seeking release. I wouldn't doubt that she's being possessed by the black magic that this deadly duo is reciting. Watch the music video in all its HD quality over at Youtube, or watch it in the mini player below.


Look out for the visuals to "Ready To Die" on the 21st!


PAPA J: Papa J dropped a new song called "La Sistema," that follows his life and how he's changed ("I done came a long way..."). Look out for this song on his forthcoming HR-1955 project. STREAM AND DOWNLOAD.

JMEGA: JMega dropped something heavy yesterday, guys. As a prelude to the True Masterz highly anticipated album Almagest, they unexpectedly released True Masterz Radio. It's a 24-track project that is comprised of new material and previously unreleased tracks, and it is a display of the trio's true elevation. Go STREAM / DOWNLOAD on Bandcamp for free (or name your price to support the artists).

VIDA KILLZ: After receiving many inquiries regarding whether or not Vida accepts beats, she let it be known that she definitely does. In this status, she supplied her email and said that she is currently looking for about 7 beats to finish off her forthcoming album, Daydreams and Nightmares. If she chooses your beat, you'll receive the album for free in return. So, if you feel that this is something you'd like to take part in, go ahead and send your stuff to her and/or if you know someone that would be interested, let them know what's up!

RICS RUMBLE: A brand new Cypher Effect video surfaced and the 7-minute session features Rics. He's up first, too, so watch the video and download the song for free.


RAZOR: Razor recently wrapped up a video shoot for his song "Pearly Gates," and posted a behind-the-scenes still from the shoot (look here). Be on the look out for that. Also, if you're in the North Hollywood area (and 21+ in age), then you can catch him performing at the Universal Bar & Grill TONIGHT (he mentioned it on Instagram). Doors open at 8pm. It's $12 at the door, so go show your support. Aside from doing the show, he will also be selling copies of his Sharper Than My Name album for $5. (Side note: You can catch Rics Rumble there, too!).

THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A.: Congratulations to THA FORMULA on graduating! Check out this photo of him all smiling and excited for the big, final day. There's also a photo of him and Razor posing together.

EMPTYSEV: EmptySev shared a brand new beat that he made, called "Broccoli". Crunchy, boom bap drums, sci-fi like elements, chopped vocals, and a funky piano line woven throughout... it's real nice! Listen to it now.

YARAH BRAVO: Yarah was featured on The Polish Ambassador's brand new album, on a song called "Nobody's Alone". It's a fun, danceable jam where she sends an uplifting, happy message of figuring out what YOU want and not letting someone's negativity destroy you. "I threw a life line in it, but you kept on sinking // And before I knew, I was drowning, too // No oxygen, looking down on me with a heartless grin // In the grimmest hearts of men // So, I'm not sorry for dancing // I'm not sorry for smiling // 'Cause I will not be seduced by your darkness."

I'm not a smoker, but for those of you that are, Yarah now has limited edition ZIGGI rolling papers for your smoking needs! You can get your hands on them during her in store show at the HHV.DE Store on June 21st (Facebook Event).

FEGGY MIN: Since I last wrote about Feggy doing a part two to her original Korean Hip Hop piece, she recently told us that she has created 27 new portrait outlines. She said, "There are still around 50 more portraits to do! Later when the Outlines of all Portraits are done, I will scan & (digital) coloring each of them and then put it all together to one piece." Have a look at a couple of sneak peeks that she has so kindly shared: here and here.

She also shared a close-up look of the Thug Li(f)e Hoodie that she has available in her store. And just for fun, watch the new San E & Raina music video for "A Midsummer Night's Sweetness" where you will find Feggy Min's art (spot the iphone case!).

SARA FLEUR: Last but not least, here's a brand new photo of Sara, where she's fully decked out in Feggy Min gear ("Blessed" long sleeve shirt & "9889" black leggings).

--------------------------------------
I know that was a lot of information to take in and process, but it's all good,
because you have the whole weekend to catch up.
Enjoy your night. Get your freak on. ;)
XOXO, Tiffology

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.

Rics Rumble's T-Shirt Collaboration

You can now read a quote from one of your favorite Organized Threat MCs on a T-Shirt! Rics Rumble teamed up with dvious in order to blend together and manifest a T-Shirt. The quote by Rics Rumble reads "Weird's the new normal. If you're normal, you're weird". Click here to purchase the T-Shirt.

Upcoming Appearances 

Gavlyn will be performing at The Bootleg Theater on May 31st. You can view the official flyer on Twitter to read more about it by clicking here.

On June 8th Devour will be doing a meet & greet pop-up shop in Covina, California from 2-5:30 pm. Click here to view the official flyer.

Support The Threat

That's the Organized Threat news for you! I know it's a lot to handle. You were given new music, an update on news, new merchandise, and were made aware of upcoming appearances. Can you really ask for more? Well of course you can but that would be real greedy of you! Organized Threat continues to grind and show their passion for what they do. You can sense their passion in their music and on how they go about their business. You can show your support by spreading the word. Show a friend this blog and have them get the latest news. It's never to late to support the threat. You can now consider me, FiascoTheGod your savior.

Weekly Wednesday Organized Threat

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES !

Whats up? How ya'll doing? I'm having a wonderful night actually, just got off my very first night of a new serving job in the valley, and I tell you what; behind these words I come to you feeling successful and satisfied. While reviewing what the group has been up to lately, like usual, I came across a particular piece of text that for some odd reason caught my attention.
Not entirely sure where it came from originally, but from the mind of EMPTY SEV it was brought to you tonight. Positive energy activates constant elevation; peace. Sit on that one for a minute, repeat it in your head, hell even say it out loud if that floats ya boat. But doesn't it seem the more you think about it, the more it absolutely makes sense. A positive thought motivated me to pursue my love of philosophy regardless of anyone's uneducated misconception, a positive thought motivated me to do my absolute best with my school work because a 3.5 college GPA will really pay off, even if it doesn't seem like it yet, a positive thought motivated me to get this great new job so that I can supply my ridiculous yet comforting habits. A positive sense of self helps me get up every morning, and gives me the constant drive to succeed and never give up; to never put down the gloves, to never put down the pen, to never put down the instrument, to never let any take away my dignity. What I'm trying to say here is this message is absolutely correct; peace comes from positive energy; from within the self. We are all responsible for our own positive energy, and therefore responsible for our own inner peace. A message like this could save someone's life, so pass it on young ones. Pass. It. On.

NOW ON TO THAT OGT NEWS AND UPDATES!
Its that time again, that wonderful time for another YOUNG DEVOUR pop up shop + meet n greet! This one's gonna be June 8th in Covina CA from 2-530, so make sure to save the date on ya calenders, save yourself a spot or do both! Both is usually better in most cases ;)

#REMINDER: Don't forget to catch OGT'S very own RAZOR + YOUNG DEVOUR performing in combination May 23rd! Follow the little birdy below for the most intricate details and save your spot before all the good'ns are gone! 
Watch out for this one folks! OGT's RICS RUMBLE will be performing in Vendor Village July 12th at the 710ERS Fest!!! With Live MC's and Live glass blowing, how could you allow yourselves to miss this one?! Follow the litter birdy below to find and keep up with the most intricate details!
Also, make sure to be glued to your computer May 25th, because PAPA J RUIZ has a big announcement coming! This one is definitely gonna be big due to the amount of exposure its getting since the initial announcement. So be aware or be square for PAPA J RUIZ'S big announcement May 25th!
OGT'S THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A just announced he will be working on "score" for a documentary! My logic tells me it might be for VONPOEVII'S L.I.F.E documentaries. Maybe, maybe not, I'm just following my womanly intuition. Anyways, follow the little birdy below for the latest and greatest news regarding THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A!!! 
And lastly but not leastly, if yo looking to vibe out tonight please follow the link below to this wonderful Instrumental produced by RELLIM!

Love Is The Movement

POETIC DEATH: Poe will be dropping a new music video this coming Sunday, and it's for his song "Paradox" off of his VONPOEVII album, released in 2013. That song in particular was produced by fellow OGT producer, Rellim (peep a photo of Poe and Rellim hanging out HERE). One more thing--Poe is very active on Twitter, so make sure you follow him there.

GAVLYN: After all the talk and sneak peek photos of Gav hanging out with Snoop Dog on GGN, the video has officially dropped. She kicks it with Snoop while he asks her a slew of questions, such as her influences, traveling the world with her music, how it feels to be ranked #1 on his Underground Heat show, upcoming projects, and much more. He even asks her "favorites" (drink, albums, song, etc) and to finish some sentences with answers that suit her. They kick some raps, smoke it up, get silly, and have fun, too. It was a really good, enjoyable show. It's almost 15 minutes in length, so check it out when you have some time, via the mini player below. Otherwise, click this link right here and watch it later and/or in a larger player in HD. (Side note: She has 5 more shows out in France!)


JMEGA: JMega recently announced that he is working on a handful of new projects. This includes a new True Masters album, an album with CDS of the Shogunz, and a solo project!

RICS RUMBLE: Earlier today, Rics dropped a new track called "WTF'S A HOOK," in collaboration with Gremlin and Hands. Over a head-nodding, dusty boom bap cut, they spit some solid raps that showcase what an emcee is capable of while posing the question: "what the fuck's a hook, when cats like me can rap like this?" Stream it on Soundcloud now, because it's real dope!

YARAH BRAVO: Since the release of her Love Is The Movement album, Yarah B. has been exploding with much love, joy, and appreciation. She posted some behind-the-scenes shots from her Carousel shoot. It's such a beautiful, chilling song, so listen here. Listen to the rest of the album and support this amazing woman, too. If you're buying the vinyl or CD packages, which comes with a poster, check out the artwork here and here (Yarah looks all cute, peeking above her own record).

She recently did an 8-minute video interview with BOKbialystok, where she speaks about women being in the forefront in hip hop, leaving her home in Sweden to be in London, being an independent artist, what it means to be a "hip hop bgirl nomadic", having a positive energy, finding your true calling, and other insightful, honest information. Such a great interview that will help you get to know her on a more personal level. Watch the interview in the mini player below, or click this link to watch it on Youtube.


Yarah will also be performing in the Czech Republic on May 16th (in Jihlava at Soul Club) and on May 21st (in Prague at Cross Club). Czech this little video that she did where she briefly speaks about it.

FEGGY MIN: Feggy has been up to a lot in the last week. She has a brand new long-sleeve shirt up in her shop, called "KING YLLW" (purchase here + there's a photo of her rocking it). She chose 4 winners in her most recent giveaway--find the names here. She has also started a new "TEAMFEGGYMIN" project, where she is recruiting all of her fans to take part in writing "TeamFeggy Min" + their country + their name on paper (or whatever material they choose), and then send it to her email at: feggymin@gmx.ch -- Feggy says, "#TEAMFEGGYMIN is to show that no matter where we all come from, how we look like, what our background is, no matter how different we seem to be, we can all come together to share happiness and joy!! And it's also a nice way to connect to all my lovely supporters and put you all on this page and become one big family all around the world!!! " She also says that you can take it with or without your face, depending on your personal preference. So, with that said, go grab some paper, some writing utensils, and get to it!

SARA FLEUR: Sara has officially reached over 10,000 fans on Facebook, and thanked you all for your support--assuming you are also one of those fans! Look out for new projects from this girl right here soon!

------------------------------
That wraps it up for Friday.

As you all may know, this weekend is Mother's Day.
I hope all you/your moms have a blessed weekend. :)
Spread love, be thankful you're here, and hug a mom!
Good night.
XOXO, Tiffology

Every Generation Deserves a Villain

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES !

I titled this Wednesday #OGT weekly addition 'Every Generation Deserves a Villain' because, if you follow VONPOEVII as closely as i do, you'd understand how often and fervent he expresses the idea behind the phrase. And, you know, it's really got me wondering what the fuck a villain is. My nature as a philo-sophizer entices my desire to better understand the meaning or characteristics that define the word, and the best way to gain a more thorough comprehension of what a villain really is and anything for the matter is through examination of the origin; its fundamental parts. To me it seems that villains are essentially agents of disruption; they are the war to the peace of the story, the chaos within a world of order. Now when i feel naughty i play devil's advocate and I let myself wonder; is it possible for these two opposites to exist one-without-the-other? Would we really know peace if we didn't know war? Would we really know virtue if not fully aware of what it isn't, it's vice? Would we really be able to appreciate eudaimonia if first we did not know human degradation? It seems to me that a villain, or the idea behind one, is not only an essential part of our notion of human happiness but also an integral part of our notion of existence. Besides, at the end of the day, we all need a little disruption or else we'll never find the path paved to El dorado. 

Anyways, the general himself VONPOEVII just updated to let us know that #ONLYGODZRELATE will be available on Itunes, Spotify, and other great stations within 3 to 5 days! So follow this little birdy below for the most intricate of details regarding the lovely VONPOEVII himself!
Attention RICS RUMBLE fans! RICS RUMBLE just released some new visuals titled 'Just Another Hip Hop Track'! If you haven't gotten the chance to check out the video, please do so below. You'll regret it if you don't, because RICS RUMBLE is not one known to disappoint! #OGT 
Also, don't forget to come wish RICS RUMBLE a safe trip overseas as we celebrate his departure at the 818 Takeover this weekend!!! The event takes place in Sherman Oaks Ca and the doors open at 6PM. So, see you there? Follow the little birdy below for the most intricate directional details little freaks, and en joy.

Our own VIDA KILLZ recently announced that she will be compiling her short stories within a book! The poetry we've already beheld is outta this world, so I personally am extra excited to see what kind of knowledge miss VIDA KILLZ passes down to us within those pages to come. Follow the little birdy below for the latest updates regarding the formulation of miss VIDA KILLZ book! 
If you happened to miss the fabulous 4/20 Rhymefest this year, do not fear nymphs and nymphettes! Please take a gander at the photo below of RAZOR and DJSTARCHILD before rocking the stage #OGT

Follow the little birdy below and browse for yourself, pick one out and definitely one for your girl. Don't stop there, check out the rest of the site! Support your local OGT artist, you know you want to ;)

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! Cheers bitches :)

Also! The General himself (VONPOEVII) will also be featured TONIGHT on this weeks addition of BREAL TV! So fellas and fellattes, don't get caught laggin and gaggin on this one! Don't miss this exclusive sneak peek into the mind of VONPOEVII himself. Watch, listen and learn. Follow the little birdy below for the most up to date info as well as all things VONPOEVII! 
Don't you dare miss this one folks! Its 4/20 on Sunday and ya'll know what that means! Stay safe and don't do anything stupid [unless its worth it] But besides that, our very own DJSTARCHILD will be performing at Rhymefest! Follow the little birdy below to get the dirty details about DJSTARCHILD'S performance as well as live updates from the man behind the scratches himself! #OGT 
YOUNG DEVOUR fans look here! Ready for another spectacular YOUNG DEVOUR show? Because he will be performing next Saturday in Whittier CA! The doors open at 6pm and its 10 dolla regular or you can pay 30 dolla for a meet and greet, which ya know is always worth it ^-^ 
Follow the little tweet below for the most intricate details and reserve your spot little ones! Hurry before its too late!
Also, If you haven't gotten a chance to see the beautiful #818TAKEOVER show flyer, please look below. Previously mentioned by Fiasco the [merciful] God, the showcase breakdown is as follows: VONPOEVII, RAZOR, RICSRUMBLE, DJSTARCHILD and other special guests!

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.

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 411

It has been an incredibly long week for me and my family, but it's finally Friday and it's a happy one. My dad's surgery (on Monday) went well, he's on a positive road to recovery, and he was released from the hospital today. Why yes, I will take that drink now. Celebrate good times! Anyway, it's April 11th... so I'm here to give you the 411 (see what I did there?) on what some of the camp has been up to since the last post.

POETIC DEATH: As you may already know, Poe's highly anticipated and heavily talked about album ONLY GODZ RELATE is peaking up over that horizon as it arrives on April 13th! Two more days! While it will be released digitally through Bandcamp and other online retailers, please remember that he has an IndieGoGo Campaign running for hard copies! If you're interested in the LP in CD form, and receiving several other perks, too, don't hesitate to throw some money down to secure your own copies! Your opportunity to get involved in that fundraiser ends on May 1st, so keep that in mind.

April 13th is also Poe's birthday, so don't forget to queue up those "HAPPY 25TH BIRTHDAY" tweets, Facebook comments, shout outs, and all of that. I don't care what anyone says, that extra step to wish someone a good day, whether it's their birthday or not, feels good. So, make it happen! While I'm on the topic of birthdays, go ahead and do the same for Rics Rumble on the 13th, too, because I just found out that they were born on the same day... one year apart.

GAVLYN: Gav posted a photo on Wednesday that finds her posing with people such as Owkerdz, Dizaster, Mistah Fab, and Traphik after doing a cypher for Cypher Effect. Check it out right here and be on the look out for video. Also, if you haven't yet, make sure you watch her "Forward Back" music video!

DEVOUR: Devour will be performing in Pasadena tomorrow (APRIL 12th) at The Terrace. It's an all ages show and $10 to get in. The doors open at 8PM, but the show itself begins at 9PM and ends at 2AM. Check out the flyer right here for more information.

FEGGY MIN: We have a few updates from Feggy Min, so pay attention. She has a new, black-and-white long sleeve shirt coming soon to her shop and it's called "Balance" (keep a positive mind and know the value of balance in your life.). Remember when her shop was in the BIG Bazar store in Zurich? Well, check out this happy little photo of a smiling Feggy hanging out with her fans and supporters. Kpop group Block B showed and mentioned Feggy's artwork on the first episode of their new reality show called "5 Minutes Before Chaos". You'll find stills from the show right here. She also posted a teaser shot of a new piece of ZICO from Block B.

THREAT THROWBACKS: There is only one this week, and that came from EmptySev. He posted a flick of him and Poetic Death on the day that Sev graduated high school--have a look.

That's about it! Stay tuned for Monday.

Hope you all have a fantastic and fun weekend.
Smile and laugh a lot. :)

What Are You Working For?

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES! 

Welcome, once again, to that fabulous day we socially celebrate as Hump Day. Various theories attempt to explain the origin of the peculiar reference, ranging from fucking someone [or if that doesn't work out, fucking yourself] which is the most logical and most self explanatory, to our generation's sense of humor and that damn commercial camel who goes around asking people what day it is. Regardless, for most of us it signifies the middle of the work week and, if you're anything like I am when I'm swamped with work, today you often remind yourself that it's half way done ['it' being whatever the individual chooses 'it' to be or signify]. But what better time to ask yourself why you're doing what you're doing and exactly how that 'what you're doing' is meaningful than when you're engulfed in your work? A recent little birdy set free by the poetic JASSON C intrigued me.
Sometimes, its a real slap in the face to watch individuals seemingly waste their time, and sometimes even their lives because they don't bother to ponder the importance of what they're getting involved in. It's like, did you have to get into the car with that extremely drunk guy you met at a bar? Did someone force you to bring that gun to school and pull the trigger on your classmates? The most disappointing aspect of freedom is that the human potential can be freely influenced and wasted simply at the turn of a key or the pull of a trigger. We cannot control the randomness of the world, but we CAN control our reactions. And the hardest thing to stomach is that with this responsibility we choose our paths, and therefore we chose this human degradation. It saddens me to look around and watch as people I love sink deep into a mire because they acted just to act, without considering the gravity of their choice. And then I am led to wonder the purpose of it, for some this contagious choice to suffer and for others not, and then I am reminded of a caged animal. And I am instantly reminded of what I never want to let myself become. Thankfully, I am surrounded by folks who live for what they do because they've taken the time and put in the effort to understand exactly what their work means to them personally. They have learning their worth and how to express their inner-forces positively, which i believe is what we're all aiming for. How do you feel about freedom of choice? Whom/what are you working for?

"One's own free unfettered choice, one's own caprice, however wild it may be, one's own fancy worked up at times to frenzy -- is that very "most advantageous advantage" which we have overlooked, which comes under no classification and against which all systems and theories are continually being shattered to atoms. And how do these wiseacres know that man wants a normal, a virtuous choice? What has made them conceive that man must want a rationally advantageous choice? What man wants is simply independent choice, whatever that independence may cost and wherever it may lead. And choice, of course, the devil only knows what choice."
-Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Now onto #OGT news and updates!
I recently had the pleasure of accompanying VONPOEVII and DJSTARCHILD while they cooked up some spicy shit for #ONLYGODZRELATE which is dropping this Sunday!!! Its always enjoyable to watch the men while they work, since they are such interesting subjects to observe. Artists are beautiful, please enjoy the snapshot below of scratch and blow. Follow the litte birdy for all things DJSTARCHILD and VONPOEVII!!!

 Also, RICS RUMBLE just released a flyer for his upcoming Europe tour!!! If you're on that side of the world, I recommend following this little birdy here and nabbin yourself a spot to support your very own RICS RUMBLE. Help us bring the entire THREAT overseas! 
JOOGY JUGG is also advertising a bit of his #JOOGYMUSIC with the 'ThinkHiR' merchandise! As he's said before 'ThinkHiR isn't a clothing line its a lifestyle'. This is a beautiful example of understanding the gravity of the ideals one stands for; take note. Be sure to stay tuned for more information from JOOGY JUGG as well as new music and merchandise! Support your local OGT member! 
Well, ya shits.
Until next time,
 With Love

Forward Back

POETIC DEATH: As previously mentioned, Poe released an official announcement (click that link to watch the video) about his highly anticipated album ONLY GODZ RELATE. He set up an IndieGoGo Campaign where you can pre-order a hard copy of his 30-track album. Depending on how much money you contribute to this fundraising campaign, you can also receive things such as a "VII" t-shirt, a poster, a "VONPOEVII" beanie and snapback, and even co-producer credit and a personal shout out from Poe on the album's intro! Check it out, and look for his album on APRIL 13th!

GAVLYN: After all of those sneak peak photos of Gavlyn, Feggy Min, and Sara Fleur hanging out during the filming of a music video from Gav's new album Modest Confidence.... that video has finally arrived! The jazzy, saxophone-driven single "Forward Back" finds Gavlyn throwing up the middle fingers (metaphorically) and rapping about moving forward from a wack relationship/scenario, being true to self, and loving life. Looks like the trio had fun in the video, too! Filmed in Marseille, France and directed by Brune Charvin. Watch the video below in the mini player, orrrr click play on this link here and watch in HD.


That's not all that is new, either! On Thursday, she and Oh Blimey dropped a collaborative, hard-hitting track called "#Ew." Stream it over on Soundcloud, and catch Gavlyn on the second verse!

JMEGA: An interview surfaced on Thursday with JMega on the OK-Tho website (read here). He talked about how he came up with his alias, how the True Masterz formed, his music inspirations ranging from Ice Cube to Mobb Deep to Tha Alkaholiks, building with Poetic Death, his latest album, and much more. Be sure to check it out, so you can further get to know the emcee.

VIDA KILLZ: Have you contributed to Vida's IndieGoGo campaign to help her raise money to press up her Negative Space album on vinyl? If not, you should definitely have a look at what she's offering as incentives. Vida's lovely lady Sol Fern tells you why you should get involved and contribute, too. So, if you need some good reasons, watch this video. Now, go check out and/or share her INDIEGOGO CAMPAIGN.

RICS RUMBLE: Rics dropped a brand new track today called "Golden," in collaboration with Foxta. Stream it over on Soundcloud!

YARAH BRAVO: Do you live in Berlin and have a clear schedule on Saturday night? If so, you should hit up the Prince Charles bar around 11PM for the Party Arty Vol. 43 - Female Artist Special event, because Yarah will be on the stage performing and making you fall in love with her funky fresh music. Peep the Facebook Event for more information!

Also, her forthcoming EP is slowly approaching on April 30th? Are you ready? You can bet your ass that I am ready! The last album of hers that I bought was Good Girls Rarely Make History, which dropped in '08, so I am definitely ready for some new material from one of my favorite ladies rocking the mic. Yayuhhhh!

------------------------
That about wraps it up for today.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Don't get into too much trouble. :)

Round and round we go

Hello, everyone. I hope you all are well and are having a blast this Friday, as we smoothly move into a wonderful weekend (-fingers crossed). Yesterday wasn't too good for me, as I spent most of the day in the Emergency Room with my father, but thankfully everything is "all right," so says the doctors, for the most part (/end vague story). Today has been pretty good, though, and that good feeling, happy-face vibe has come with me tonight, too. I wrote this post several hours ago, and forgot to copy+paste it into the blog. Good thing I wrote it earlier, too, because I'm on my way to being tipsy. :) Sooo, let's get into it!

VIDA KILLZ: Hey, vinyl lovers! Vida will be getting her Negative Space album pressed up on vinyl. If you're interested, be sure to like her Facebook page or subscribe to her mailing list to get information about the forthcoming IndieGoGo campaign. Make sure you hit up this status and let her know what kind of incentives you'd be intrigued to get in return for your hard-earned money.

YARAH BRAVO: Lady Bravo has been posting several pictures on Facebook, such as the days when she had a pop up shop with Mimi Fresh and Sheila E. called Captain Love Bubble, where they sold exclusive vintage and customized clothing and footwear. Very cool! Also, check her out in a super fresh The PussPuss "Legend" hoodie (here), which was inspired by the Roland TB 303 Bass Line and TR 606 Drumatix. I featured The PussPuss in one of the CrayonBeats Magazine issues, so it's fun seeing her in one of their pieces. Not only has she been posting fierce flicks, buuuuuut she also shared a brand new song! Titled "Carousel," the song was released on producer Trommel Tobi's debut album (who has also been on the road with Yarah as her drummer). Over deep, slow thumping kicks, warm strings, and a lovely vocal sample, Yarah sings in both English and Swedish; it's quite alluring and poetic. Definitely check it out, and listen to it several times. STREAM! "Round and round we go..."

RICS RUMBLE: Since dropping his brand new music video, ya boy Rics performed a song called "Inner Ego," from his forthcoming album, over at Daftstar. Watch that in full view and in HD on Youtube, or in the mini player below.


SARA FLEUR: Sara is in a contest for Miss Manga L'Oreal mega volume mascara. I'm not entirely sure what she's in the running for exactly, buuuut if you know what's good for you, and you're a supporter of this pretty lady, go vote for her RIGHT NOW!

FEGGY MIN: Feggy's clothing will be available in Big Bazar Zurich (in the middle floor, Bahnhofstrasse 79 * 8001 Zürich, Monday-Friday: 9AM - 8PM * Saturday: 9AM - 6PM) on March 24th for TWO WEEKS STRAIGHT! If you're in the area, make sure you visit, grab some exclusive items (maybe this new bag?!), and perhaps one of the days you'll find Feggy herself there (stay tuned to her Facebook page, because she'll let you know when she's there). Here's a flyer.

THREAT THROWBACKS: Papa J posted a throwback photo from 11-12 months ago when he was filming the video for "Antiii," check that picture here. Yarah Bravo posted a picture from when she, Gavlyn, and Poetic Death rocked the stage at Hip Hop Kemp (here). Last, but not least, Feggy posted a picture of her, Gavlyn, and Sara posted up in Europe during a video shoot while Gavlyn was just there (so, not far into the past or anything). Plus, they're all decked out in Feggy Min clothing, too!

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

Welp, that's about it for today!
Hug somebody, exchange smiles, and radiate with positive light.
XOXO, Tiffology
