#NYE 2013

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES!

Good afternoon nymphs and nymphettes, and welcome to this first day of the rest of your life. No but really, I applaud you all for making it through the year without losing any limbs... or sanity for that matter. And if you were one of those lucky enough to lose their sanity; well done fella, well done. Anywhoo, I had the pleasure of wrangling in big-badass 2014 with a few beautiful faces from the OGT family, including the general himself VON POE VII, RICS RUMBLE, RAZOR, GAVLYN, BONNIE BLUE, EMPTY SEV, THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. Also, a special thanks goes out to OGT guests who joined the mayhem last night like wise 2MEX, and wise words he did speak. The night was filled with raving attitudes and fire pits, which came complete with a cipher or two...or three. The camp also busted out some face-melting solos though Rockband, flexxxing that hand-eye coordination before watching the ball drop. [On a side note, have you ever wondered how much electricity and power it takes to drop that stupid ball? According to the Huffington Post, Time Square on NYE is the world's biggest rip off] And finally, after most of the world had already celebrated the turning of another page, our clocks stuck midnight and we were all set free, if only for a moment. The living room stretching practically to the backyard became the medium for endless hugs and expressions of gratefulness. And that nymphs and nymphettes, was a truly beautiful site. If you haven't already taken a gander at the mayhem that took place last night, please behold this shit below and be jealous if you must. 

BELOW AND BEHOLD you freaks, a little birdy told me that the camp has an OGT track in the making, featuring the great work of artists like the general himself VON POE VII, RICS RUMBLE, RAZOR, BONNIE BLUE. The little birdy hasn't finalized any information for me yet, however it is rumored that the entire camp may be on this track, but it is strictly an OGT family track. Peep the little tweety below for intricate details and keep your eyes and ears posted for this future epicness. 

This music shit don't stop over here.....In the lab with my brother ricsrumble, working on our 1st… http://t.co/WHgMTdxNcP

WELL THATS ALL

Is It 2014 Yet?

It's FiascoTheGod and I am here to bring you the final OGT Weekly of 2013. This one contains important news as well as some new sounds from some of the camp's members.

YUCK

Poetic Death is currently experimenting with the "Hang w/" app. The best way to describe this app is a combination of Twitter and video streaming websites such as Justin.tv. If you follow Poetic Death on the app you will be able to view past broadcasts as well receive notifications when he is broadcasting live. Only time will tell how the Organized Threat general will utilize this app if he decides to keep it, as well if any other OGT members will create accounts. You can follow Poetic Death by searching "VonPoeVII".

Rellim has caught the attention of Von Poe VII with an instrumental that he recently sent to him. Poetic Death expressed on Twitter that he is tremendously thankful for Rellim's effort. Poe states on Twitter "OH MY GAWD @IamRellim JUST BODIED THIS BEAT!!! YUCK, and it's all mine and I aint sharing it haha. Wow. #GoldenEraShit". Of course, just because he let everyone know that he has received a gem from Rellim it doesn't mean that a complete song will be out next week, next month, or even next year. But it is still important news because we know that the relationship between the MC's and producers within the camp continues to grow.

5:55, Baby We Grindin

Papa J. Ruiz, DJ Starchild, and Joogy Jugg continue their heavy promotion of "5:55 AM" which is Papa J.'s latest mixtape. You can continue your support by downloading the mixtape here.

SHHH It's A Secret

The ending days of 2013 has Razor building hype and anticipation for his January 2014 release "F.A.I.T.H". Razor accomplishes this by releasing a new track entitled "West Kept Secret" which will indeed be on the upcoming project. When the instrumental from Chapter 3 Beats opened the track I was unsure of what to expect Razor to do. Razor deciding to display his lyrical ability on a beat such as this is not what I am used to hearing from the MC. From just reading the title I honestly thought this track would be about Razor himself and claiming that he was solely the best kept secret in the west but, he rode the unselfish route as he continued to rep OGT and put on his friend Doey. 

One thing for certain that is not a secret is Razor's album is completely finished. Razor tweeted "Today's studio session was a success. The "F.A.I.T.H" album is complete ;) #DropsOnJanuary13th #BAM #OGT". At the end was a link to an IG photo which can be seen by clicking here.

#LAProject

Jasson C just recently announced via Twitter that he expects his new project entitled "LA Project" to be out by March. The title stands for The Lymbo Ascent Project. He also states that the first single will be called "Perrier". Jasson C tweets, "My first single from the #LAProject is called "Perrier". Gives me chills every time I listen to it. #LifeMusic". Being able to reciprocate those "chills" into the ears and spines of the listeners will put the journey to the "LA Project" off to a great start.

That's Deep

THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. induces us on another thought provoking, head nodding journey with his latest sound "Buried Feelings". Now he transports us to a setting that entices us both with the title and music, to shovel through our brain in order to come face to face with feelings that were never appropriately expressed. After enlightening you, THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. has now provided you with the option to express those past feelings to those that they coordinate with. Take that opportunity with 2013 ending and start 2014 anew.

Farewell, Until Next Year

With 2014 on the rise many people will take that opportunity to start fresh in at least one aspect of their lives. It may be a relationship or a career goal. Whatever it may be just know that you don't have to wait a full year to "restart" or make a commitment. Every day, every hour, every second that you are alive on this earth is your opportunity to start fresh or begin something new. For example, the headlines you saw within this blog is something new to me. I decided to experiment and used those headlines to express my creativity and originality as well as entrain you, the reader. I did not wait until the first Monday of 2014 to experiment. I did it today. With that being said, enjoy yourself on New Years Eve and New Years Day, and every day beyond and please do your best to be safe. Consider me, FiascoTheGod, your savior.

Twenty Se7enth

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Happy Random-Act-Of-Kindness/Giving Season

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES!

Holiday Wishes from THE GENERAL VON POE VII himself

#REALQUICK: Happy Holidays everyone. Regardless of your belief systems and what not, remember that life is joy. A... http://t.co/inYR00DzBM

— POETIC / VONPOEVII (@VonPoeVII) December 25, 2013

      Happy Random-Act-Of-Kindness/Giving Season nymphs                                      and nymphettes!
It is that time again, the time for overspending and crowded shopping malls. The time for sleeping on couches and formal dinners. The time for some to tolerate and for some to be tolerated. The time for traveling and gridlock transit. For others, its about anticipated receiving and the grand facade. For others, its a time for sorrow, a time for empty rooms and empty hearts. Yet for some, its about propagating a sense of spirit. For some, its a time for home-cooked meals and the sound of a child's innocent laughter. It's time for the sound of music that forever echos through the catacombed hearts of heartfelt masters, who's fingers spin a tale over brass strings. Its about reviving old traditions and about creating new ones. Its about ignoring the burdens of yesterday and tomorrow, and instead remembering what it means to be human. For some, its the time for spontaneous giving, and there's no greater gift to give than the gift of hope. For me specifically, Its about the sound of my dad's laughter when he laughs at his own jokes, and the way my grandma says my name. Its about the beautifully crooked way my grandpa smiles, and the way he shoots his gun. Its about the secrets my cousin and I keep, and the music we play together. Its about the sound of the screen door when it snaps closed and the smell of fresh brandy-wine. For me, its about my family, the battles we've faced, and the bond we've grown only over the last few years. For me, its about carrying on a legacy; no one's getting any younger and the instruments don't play themselves. For me, it's all about love and giving it away. For me, it has nothing to do with the season or the time of year. For me, It overwhelms me all the time. For me, everyday is a Holiday and a chance to be grateful. But for some, the story is not the same.

My point being, regardless of your tradition or lack-there-of, remember what you're thankful for. Not just today, but everyday. Remember that if it's bad, it could potentially be a million times worse. If you're breathing, you're doing just fine. And if you're doing just fine, remember that one could never have enough love to give.

NOW, BACK TO OGT NEWS UPDATES!

YARAH BRAVO just recently announced that she will be performing in beautiful Slovakia on December 27th at the Spirit Club!

UNTIL NEXT TIME

YOU FREAKS

ASTER 

5:55

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

Due to my work schedule, this blog post will not contain Papa J.'s "5:55AM" mixtape which is set to be released at 5:55 pm. But I am able to remind you to go to Datpiff to download it as soon as you get the chance.

EmptySev was top notch on his latest track "SEVENEMPTY". Producer AnimusOpus intergrades a sample of a man stating that "Organized Threat is the future". EmptySev, the future within the future, drops some heavy poetic bars straight from the jump "Shit I'm feeling pretty heavy dripping in this infamy". You can claim your loyalty and your free download by clicking here.

Developing a true appreciation for the music, visuals, and/or poetry that an artist can create is what makes fans stay for the journey. Anything in addition supplied by the artist is just a bonus. But maybe it shouldn't be a bonus. Maybe it should be part of the journey. A bonus that I'm speaking of in this situation is receiving personal stories as well as heartfelt advice from the artist to the fans. Is it wrong to expect this as a fan? Sure we are dictated these stories and advice in their music, but would it mean more without the music? Obviously it comes down to personal preference and in the following news, Vida Killz and Yarah Bravo have something to share, no instrumentals attached.

Vida Killz relays a story that revolves being at her grandparents house last Christmas. You can read her story and view a picture that is accurately represented in the story below by clicking here.

"This time last year I was in San Jose for an X-mas visit to my Grandparents house. We had just received my Viejita's prognosis. So I flew out from AZ to be with her. This year is our first Xmas without her which is making this Holiday Season a bit hard for me.
However, I stumbled on this picture & wanted to share it.

During her resting time, She'd request her favorite songs..so myself or my Tio would play 'em for her off YouTube. This actually started at the hospital and went all they way to her passing. Music played a big part in her life & I'm blessed to have it fill mine as well.

#meow #absitomen #miviejita #restinpeace"

Words from Yarah Bravo via her Facebook status.

"Keep your Heads up & Your Hearts open

if you're overcoming your struggles, your inner fears and becoming a better version of yourself, instead of giving up, which can be so easy…i'm proud of you!! You're still here. You're beautiful.

I see too many young girls, so lost, suffering all kind of disorders because they're trying to "fit in". not realizing, that not fitting would essentially be better for them…and for the world as a whole!!! Stand out out in your own unique way and share your light with the world.

My boys too of course!!! But as a woman right now i'm speaking to my girls".  

 Random Organized Threat Tweet: 

This is not so much a random tweet. This tweet is meant to summarize the feeling of every college student at the end of their semester. Endure One passed his statistics course! He tweeted me "@FiascoTheGod, dude, I aced stats!" I replied letting him know that's great news and then asked him how he felt about his accomplishment. Endure One tweeted "I think that it's fuckin relief that I'm done with that class...".

Dammit! Were you out this past weekend Christmas shopping again? Don't worry, I've got you covered. Just consider me, FiascoTheGod, your savior.

2013 is almost over...already.

So it just dawned on me that this will be my last post on OGT Weekly this year, since 2014 is less than 2 weeks away. Yo, this year went by so fast...but then again since hitting adulthood, I feel like I say that every year. I also feel like the Organized Threat crew have been playing Santa with all of these releases, video premiers, shows and debuts. Not sure what I'm talking about? Good, 'cause I'm here with my round up of goings-ons for the week.

 So on Wedensday VON POE VII & Papa J dropped the official cut of their 5:55AM video which not only featured the two emcees but also Joogy Jugg (along with the OGT Colorado crew) and even Aster makes an appearance in the cinematically themed video. If you didn't see it Wednesday when Aster dropped the news, then check it out in the link above!

While we're on the subject of Papa J & Poetic Death's new joint, I figure it's the perfect time to also let you guys know that the two will be officially headlining their tour, kicking off in Europe next spring right on the heels of GAVLYN's Modest Confidence Tour in February. The tour is in collaboration with DJ Mike Steeze and Karin of Subotage Entertainment. Make sure to keep follow Organized Threat for tour dates and visit Subotage for booking.

Post by Organized Threat [Official].

Feggy Min's new collection has taken off with everyone (including myself) wanting to own one of her pieces. While I've still yet to get my hands on my favorite pieces,  Korean emcee San E (pictured with Bumkey) has been rocking his REAL X REAL crewneck "like a Boss" and Feggy Min couldn't be prouder.

Post by Feggy Min ART.

Have you gotten your Feggy Min Art/9889 gear yet? Maybe if you were nice, Santa will bless you with a part of her collection, if you don't have time to wait for the fat man, then head over to her shop to make your purchase.

Jasson C hit a milestone yesterday reaching 10 thousand plus views on his new video 747s (directed by VON POE VII himself). However overachieving and pushing the limits runs through the veins of everyone within the Organized Threat Camp, so of course he's eager to hit the next big mark: 20k!!

Post by Jasson C.

And while Jasson is grabbing views on Youtube, Vida Killz would like you to subscribe to her channel as the artist will be blessing everyone with a new video every Thursday. She made the announcement yesterday via Facebook while also updating fans on the status of her puppy, who suffered an allergic reaction and had to be taken to the vet. Anyone who's ever had a family member of the animal variety knows how stressful and scary it can be when they fall ill, so it's good to know that Vida's puppy is doing well!

Post by Vida Killz.

I guess that sums everything up for this week. Enjoy the weekend people! Happy Holidays and talk to you next year!

5:55am X Modest Cofidence

HELLO OGT FANS AND FANATICS, FRIENDS AND FOES!

This week we were blessed with two stunning visual displays; one being GAV who released her promotional teaser trailer for Modest Confidence, and two being PAPAJ RUIZ who teamed up with the general himself VONPOEVII to produce the official '5:55AM' music video. And I, my little minions, was fortunate enough to be part of the production of both videos! Filming with PAPAJ RUIZ, JOOGY JUG and the rest of the Colorado Fam was incredible to say the least, not to mention I got to experience wraths of nature I'd never seen before. We went from southern California, where its 80 degrees in December and it's totally acceptable to wear shorts and sandals to Colorado, where it reached -11 at night and the snow never melted; Needless to say I was underprepared. Nevertheless, the plan was to work, and that is what we did. Never mind the car trouble, never mind the icy conditions, the motive somehow seems to make all other relative concerns fall off and disappear from the tip of the iceberg. Its always a pleasure to be in the presence of such relations, and even more of a fortune to be a part of the operations. If you haven't gotten a chance to check out PAPAJ RUIZ and the general himself VON POE VII in '5:55AM', prepare to travel to that place in the back of your mind you know oh too well. Sit back and vibe out to the poetry and visuals xoxo

I also had the pleasure of working with miss GAV to produce her promotional teaser trailer for Modest Confidence! We utilized the last bit of daylight on whatever-night-of-the-week it was, and oh so many takes were wasted because we couldn't stop laughing at ourselves. Its always a pleasure to work with the lovely and comedic miss GAV. If you haven't gotten a chance to watch the teaser trailer for Modest Confidence, prepare yourselves, it is also displayed below. Produced by the general himself VON POE VII, sit back, relax, and enjoy nymphs and nymphettes.

LITTLE SNIPPET---> If you weren't able to make it over to GAV'S show in Anaheim on Sunday, Its your lucky day. Here's a little snippet of her performance, please I insist, take a gander.

Also in the OGT news this week, YARAH BRAVO has a show in Prague at Lucerna with Android Asteroid and DJ Vadim THIS EVENING. So hopefully all you OGT fellas and fellattes in the vicinity can mosey on over to support YARAH BRAVO. Check the little tweety below for intricate details!

Tonight the stage is ROUND ❤ The show is in Prague @ Lucerna. With Android Asteroid and Dj Vadim. Looking forward to connecting. X

Well that's all for this week minions, don't forget to exercise your social responsibility this beautiful Holiday season, even if that just means having a kind-hearted conversation.
