"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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
