Blessings

Hello OGT Fans and Fanatics, Friends and Foes!


My mind was blown away when I glanced at the calendar and noticed that we here at OGT weekly now have a month under our creative writing belt, and I am more then blessed to be the one to end the month with y'all. This past weekend, I had the pleasure of joining only part of the OGT crew for the Bushwall Junkies' album release party in the beautiful and nipple -hardening city of San Diego. With the lineup including creative influence from Rics Rumble, Bonnie Blue, Razor, Jasson C, THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A, Gav, DJ Starchild, and other specials guests, the energy of the performance was exactly on par. The show attracted angels and devils, ghosts and goblins alike, and the crowd fed off the collective energy like a suckling would its mother.

However, the most inspirational moments for me were watching the bonding, love and hospitality exchange at the OGT sleepover. If you've haven't caught a glimpse of that awesomeness yet, low and behold I have provided yet again my minions! Thanks to DJ Starchild
Post up in the house of PRIME, the father of Rics Rumble, as you can see we were well taken care of. During the wee hours of the night, after everyone was mostly long gone into a world of their own design, Von Poe VII and I had the pleasure of listening to some words of wisdom from the mind of PRIME. He waved his hand, a simple gesture meant to collectively identify everyone who stood before him, and said "Blessings". The statement itself is multidimensional, but one could not deny the obvious passion he has for his children and their art.

On another note, so happy to hear that Vida Killz Negative Space album recently sold out. If you haven't been able to get a copy yet, you can still get your hands on that digital down load by clicking HERE
Also, we find ourselves blessed with new visuals from JMega The God. Directed by Von Poe VII, the visuals are a stunning compliment to the poetry. Enjoy below Nymphs and Nymphettes.

 


 
Yarah Bravo recently just announced that she landed a show with IAM November 7th in St. Nazaire. Be sure to support your local artist and show some love on the 7th for Yarah Bravo!
Also, Razor and the rest of us are real excited for Rics Rumble to head back to Germany November 16th! Peep the flyer here and be sure to catch the show if you're on that side of the world. OGT IS WORLDWIDE, don't even front.
Until next time 
You freaks
With love
ASTER

Studies have shown, People enjoy Mondays more because of FiascoTheGod!

I remember the time when the working class and students hated Mondays. But, studies have shown, since I've been composing blogs for the OGTWeekly every Monday, one month total so far, people have enjoyed Monday's much more. Isn't that great? It's FiascoTheGod and I am here to bring you that latest happenings within the Organized Threat camp.

Poetic Death: Poetic Death posted a picture on Instagram, posted with Killah Priest. Surely another memorable experience for the Organized Threat general. In his caption for his IG pic, the last sentence reads, "All I can say is keep your eyes open, and that your thoughts are your reality!". Poetic Death has stated before that he was trying to get Killah Priest on a track and you wouldn't be unjustified to believe that this has a greater chance of happening, if it hasn't happened already. The picture can be viewed here.

Bushwall Junkies: The collaborative effort between Rics Rumble, Razor, Bonnie Blue, and Eyelim was finally released this past weekend. From a track like "Gassin'" that displays their lyrical abilities, to a heartfelt track like "Kill Yourself", "Black Eye Blue" not only showcases their chemistry, but their ability to deliver diversity in the content of their music. In "Kill Yourself", the humble and powerful words of Razor was possibly the highlight of the track. Razor spits, "But sometimes you can get obsessed with an obsession / To the point where you forget that simply breathing is a blessing". Organized Threat producer Ruman, also commented on the track "Gassin'" via Twitter stating, "Evryone went hard on this Gassin' joint but @BonnieBlueNotes def killed that shit!". Bonnie Blue responded with a "thank you!". You know the popular saying, "save the best for last"? Well this may ring true for some listeners with Bushwall Junkies outro to "Black Eye Blue", entitled "Back & Forth". Of course, tracks 1-6 are important and without them we do not have "Black Eye Blue". But, "Back & Forth" is truly the cherry on top, the icing on the cake, the whip cream on top of your McDonalds Frappe'. It is what solidifies Bushwall Junkies as a group, that is not composed of individuals with different talents, but as a group with many talents. The approach taken to "Back & Forth" does not seem forced nor rushed. It is simply meant to be. You can listen to the entire "Black Eye Blue" project by clicking here.

THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A.: "From The Back Woods" is THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A.'s latest sound. Unlike what we are used to hearing from him, THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. supplies us with an instrumental that will have you doing a little bit more body movements than usual. This beat is also for sale and you can contact him at fequalsmc@gmail.com.

Faces: Organized Threat producer, Faces, released a new sound four days ago. It is entitled "Hush" which features a soft and soothing sound. A title that is definitely not misleading.

Rics Rumble: A video that is focused on showing appreciation for his family, fans, and life experiences, Rics Rumble delivers with a visual for "Take Mine". The literary addict performs his track that portrays his dedication and passion for his music career by stating that he will take the opportunity once the door is open. While performing, there are cuts to live performances, daily life events, and pictures with Organized Threat members, family, and fans. A perfect video to see what the life of an Organized Threat member is like.

Random Organized Threat Tweet: This time around, this more of an informative/eye opening  tweet than a random tweet. This one comes from Papa J. with his tweet "Tony Montana and Bruce lee were both dish washers once upon a time lol humble ya self and RESPECT A PERSON WHO HONESTLY WORKS #iii". With that being said or tweeted, this may be an eye opener for you some of you. Maybe take a minute to think about some people in your life that truly do work hard. Show them that you acknowledge this and as Papa J. instructed, respect them.

In a rare occurrence, an abundance of Organized Threat members were present at the same time and the same place. This took place this past weekend in San Diego as Razor, THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A., Bonnie Blue, Rics Rumble, Jasson C, EmptySev, DJ Starchild, Gavlyn, and Poetic Death were able not only able to share a stage together, but create memories as well. Their picture can be seen by clicking here. It was a very active weekend for the Organized Threat camp and again I enjoyed reporting on it. Consider me, FiascoTheGod, your savior.

Hey y'all, It's me Tiffny, and I'm here with some news about what's been going on with a few members from the Organized Threat camp so far. But before we get into that, I hope everyone's weekend is off to a great start (and I hope y'all have your Halloween plans good to go)! This past Monday FiascoTheGod briefly touched on the news that Organized Treat members Soulcat E5 and Poetic Death were working together for a track on her upcoming mixtape.

Now, Soulcat has mentioned on her soundcloud that the mixtape itself will be a real throw back to 90s hip hop vibes and as if that's not enough to be exited about, she's releasing it as an actual cassette tape. Now, I don't know how many of you still own cassette players, but even if you don't this is definitely something to get excited about getting your hands on, if only as a collectors item.  If you're interested in what she has in store, you're in luck as the international emcee leaked 2 tracks from the tape: Livin' Foul and Phase 1 which you can stream, like, and show love on via her soundcloud.

Tomorrow, Oct. 26th, Bushwall Junkies (Rics Rumble, Razor, Bonnie Blue & Eyelim) are dropping their debut EP Black Eye Blue, which will be followed by the Halloween Celebration/ Release Party on the 26th. Anticipation for the album has been high amongst fans of the group with their single "Gassin" recieving its due praise for showcasing each emcee's rhyme style adeptly over Eyelim's fresh production. You can also catch them (with group and solo sets) at the 710ers Fest a week from then on the 2nd of Nov at The Machine in Pomona, CA, so if you can make it, be there. Stay tuned to Bonnie's facebook page for details. Speaking of Bonnie Blue, she's featured on that new Joogy Jug produced track "Good Luck" alongside Papa J, which dropped less than 24 hours ago. You can check it out right here on Papa J's youtube channel.

Also on the new music front, Devour's new album RedRum is officially up for presale. Yep, order it now and you'll get it for less than a tenner ! Where can you get a hardcopy CD for less than $10 bucks?! Right!? Anyway, if you're interested (and why wouldn't you be?) click here for that.

Lastly, I think I'll close out this post with some Gavlyn news: If you haven't already, make sure you vote for Gavlyn's "ALL TOO WELL" which is from her upcoming album Modest Confidence. The video is currently in the number 10 spot on BEAT 100's Original Rap charts and all the votes you can pass her way will help put her in the top spot. As for the album, it's set for a January 2014 release which gives you something to fresh to look forward to on the new year.

Alright y'all, I think that's about it. Let the weekend commence.

VIVA LAS VEGAS

Hello OGT Fans and Fanatics, Friends and Foes!
This past weekend I had the pleasure of causing trouble in and running the strip of Las Vegas with Von Poe VII, Devour and his special lady. Being my first time in Vegas, I have to admit it wasn't too shabby; my friends, the beers were cold (and free :D) and the city of sin sat glaring down upon us. The backdrop of the of the city almost seemed to glitter with naughty bitts and dollar bills, and I couldn't have been more fascinated. They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but I beg to differ ---> the experiences I shared with these people were burned into the canyons of my memory by the flashing lights, and in the most unforgettable way. It was also interesting to see beasts of The Movement outside of their natural environment; to see the men behind the mask in their most natural form. While they are business partners on their Grind, when they shed their skin its beautiful to see that the bond between brothers is just as powerful as The Movement it supports. An example that represents how it is between brothers and sisters, sisters and sisters; The Movement, The Family. Oh yeah, and I kinda did get to meet Bert and Ernie. BAWSE.
 


On that Note,
DevourUP recently announced that he is planning meet and greets + album signings! So If you want to meet with Devour, get yo ass on that and request your city quick before all the slots fill up!!!
Also, it looks like everyone's getting real pumped up for the 619 Halloween Show! Featuring Von Poe VII, Bonnie Blue, Gavlyn, Rics Rumble, Razor, Empty Sev, Tha F.O.R.M.U.L.A, and other guests, the show is sure to be a fucking riot and I recommend that you attend.
Joogy Jug also announced that he will be dropping a track off his up and coming project. The track is called GOOD LUCK, and is said to be released 12/24/13, featuring Bonnie Blue and Papa J. I'm a total #Jooghead, or in other words a fan of the work he did on Papa J's NO R3COLL3CTION and others alike, so needless to say I'm excited to see what comes next from him.
Lastly, it seems to me as if Rics Rumble is hinting toward dropping another track! What eager fans would love to hear a new one? Let your artist know, let the good vibes flow. Drop a tweet and hype it up !


Until next time Nymphs and Nymphettes,
Regards
Aster

An awesome three weeks it is..

Can you believe it's already been three weeks? FiascoTheGod is here to provide you with the latest within the Organized Threat camp.

 Well, to be honest, there wasn't that much going on this passed weekend. At least not as much as usual. This shouldn't be looked at in a negative light because you can't always expect your favorite music artists to release content or news within a 3 day period every weekend. You can expect it, but your expectations will not be met all the time. That is just reality.

Maybe during this 3 day period some Organized Threat members took some time out to think about what their goals are in life. That's what producer THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. did via Twitter. THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. wrote "So many people wanna do music for this fame or to be super rich.. But I just wanna live a good life, be comfortable, n wake up happy! Its about taken care of yourself and your people.. Family, significant others, homies, your community.. Thats what people are grinding for.." I really like this tweet because if you read this tweet critically, you can imagine the other side of the story. What if the only way for a person to "live a good life, be comfortable, n wake up happy" is to be rich and famous? Maybe that's the only way celebrities want to live and only know how to live. THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. is clearly content with being able to be happy and support those in need by living a life that does not consists of fame and fortune, and that's great. There is a possibility that his ideas may change. His belief can change within the next minute, the next month, 5 years from now, and that's okay. He shouldn't be labeled a walking contradiction, if that were to happen. Accepting new information and ideas, results in a change of belief and he could very well have that experience. After reading the latest news within the Organized Threat camp, just take 5 minutes and think about what you want in life. Tweet it just like THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. or write it down, or maybe even leave it in the comment section.Whatever it is, understand that that is what you want at that moment and it is up to you to decide how you want to obtain that way of life.

Poetic Death: Poetic Death supplied his listeners with lyrics to the "Pound Cake" Instrumental. The remix will be on Papa J.'s "5:55 AM" mixtape. This was done by way of Twitter and the first tweet can be gazed upon by clicking here. Reading the rest of the lyrics, Poetic Death is focused on getting straight to the point. It's as if Poetic Death was ready to release all the thoughts that were pounding on his head. One of these thoughts appear to be relating to his financial situation and the lack of respect he is getting from people who expect him to dish out money or supply them with discounts on videos.

Poetic Death also has a few other collaborations on the way. Sleep Sinatra of RottenDoggz tweeted out "just finished pennin for this joint with my G @VonPoeVII". This won't be the first time they have gave birth to a track. Their most recent work came from Poetic Death's "VON POE VII" album, on the "Reunion" track. Poetic Death will also be working with Organized Threat MC, Soulcat E5. This was announced by the Organized Threat general himself via Twitter and can be witnessed by clicking here.

Papa J.: Papa J. took to Twitter to announce that he will be releasing a new music video for "Right Miiind" as well as cover art for his "5:55 AM" mixtape on October 31. The "Right Miiind" video will be fresh off Papa J.'s latest project "NO R3COLL3TION". The tweet that provides this information can be viewed here. When you guys think of a music project that is entitled "5:55 AM", what do you envision the cover art to look like? Do you picture a person sitting at a desk jotting down some lyrics, night lamp to the right, clock to the left that reads 5:55 AM, bed in the background? That's what I am picturing, at least right now. Leave a comment below or tweet Papa J. what you think his "5:55 AM" mixtape cover will look like.

Bushwall Junkies: The Bushwall Junkies are a collaborative effort between Organized Threat members, Bonnie Blue, Razor, and Rics Rumble as well as (non-ogt) producer Eyelim. They just released their latest track entitled "Gassin'". This is a really laid back track that showcases Bonnie Blue's, Razor's, and Rics Rumble's rhyming ability. How do they make it seem so effortless?

Random Organized Threat Tweet: Gavlyn does it again. With her "I like retarded dudes" tweet, she is featured in this Monday's random Organized Threat Tweet. Fortunately for her, there are plenty of retarded dudes out there. Gavlyn, I suggest you choose wisely. You don't want to end up with a guy that depends on you to wipe his butt every time he does the number 2. You know what I'm saying?

There you have it. THA F.O.R.M.U.L.A. thinks about what he wants in life, Poetic Death stays on his grind, mark October 31 on your calender for some new Papa J., the Bushwall Junkies make it seem effortless, and Gavlyn likes retarded dudes. Don't forget to check out the next OGTWeekly this Wednesday. Peace.

It's Friday night, and I feel all right

... the party's here on the West Side! Montell Jordan throwback for you. Hello, everyone! Tiffology here. I hope you're doing well on this cool Friday night. Being that I live in Arizona (Glendale area), I am so glad that the summer heat warnings are gone and that our nights breezy once again. It's the best weather right now. Clear skies, low 60s, good vibes... yeahhhh. Anyway, I have several things to talk about and catch you up on.

POETIC DEATH: For all of you wanting to be apart of Poe's army--the one where you can represent his music on your gear--you're in luck! He just received his order of black "VONPOEVII" beanies today, and they are now available for purchase. Here's a picture of Poetic Death wearing one. They are available on his Bandcamp page for $25--just go to any album and buy it there (you'll receive a free digital download of the album of choice). There was also talk that he may be creating a style of masks (similar to the one he wears in his videos) for you all to rock. He'll be the (Guy Fawkes masked) V of hip hop. V for VonPoe.

BONNIE BLUE: Next week, three OgT members will be dropping a brand new track called "Good Luck." Production by Joogy Jugg, featuring Papa J and Bonnie Blue. Stay tuned via any of their social pages for that update! Anybody else excited for all the new Bonnie Blue material coming out soon?! Her collaborative album, Black Eye Blue, with Razor and Rics Rumble (the trio are then called the Bushwall Junkies) is dropping in less than 2 weeks; and her debut solo EP, All Things Considered, is also on its way. Hell yeah!

JASSON C: Earlier today, Jasson made a Facebook post regarding new music. If you get his "Like" count up by 10, before 12AM PST on Saturday, he'll drop a brand new song. So, if you want that to happen sooner than later, be sure to share some of his music with your friends (such as his Waiting Room album, because it's so good).

FACES: Producer Faces has been sliding a few new beats across the Soundcloud table that I think you should check out. Bobby already mentioned "One Wish" in his last post, but now there are two more. He cites Scruffnuk Dust as inspiration for "Dreams/Nightmares." The dream soundscape occupies two-thirds of the beat with choppy soul vocals, playful, melodic piano, and soft-sounding shakers; it closes with a spacey, spooky beat. Lastly, there's "Leaving," which dropped earlier in the day. The two are fitting for this time of night for me. Smooth, atmospheric beats for you to kick up your feet and relax your mind to.

RUMAN: Ruman is still pushing his 6-track beat tape, called Bright Side, that he released on September 1st. The title proves to be an accurate description due to its head-nodding, experimental, and downtempo vibes. Splashed with synths, rapid hi-hats, chopped samples, slow-rolling snares, and light percussion. Real smooth stuff. If you have yet to take a listen to the project, download it for free at DatPiff.

RELLIM: On October 15th, Rellim released an instrumental project called Rellim's Throw Aways Vol. 1. It's comprised of 7 beats that he made a while ago, and he's released it as a free digital download (of course, you can donate with the pay-what-you-want price). If you're new to this guy like I am, this is a good starting point. You can also take a step backwards into his August-released project, Welcome To Waveland, or any other project he has available on his Bandcamp page. Either way, put yourself onto this guy.

FEGGY MIN: Last, but not least, the visual artist of the bunch is getting ready to release her newest collection, Feggymin9889. She posted a sneak peek photo--modeled by Feggy and Sara Fleur--as well as a few other designs from the collection. Check 'em out! Also, on October 26th, Feggy will have her own "BIG" booth in a Zurich-based store, where she'll show and sell her new collection and prints. Free food, free drinks, and awesome clothing. More information can be found at the Facebook Event.

Not everybody's straight up, but everybody's able...

Hello OGT Fans and Fanatics, Friends and Foes!

This week, like every other week, has been busy and productive for Organized Threat. Monday, we were blessed with fresh visuals for Gavlyn's 'Guilty Pleasure'. For being only one track off of her up and coming album 'Modest Confidence', 'Guilty Pleasure' conveys a Gavlyn with many different shades and personas. The beauty of interpretation is multifaceted, congruent to the poetry contained within 'Guilty Pleasure'. On one hand, we see a Gavlyn concerned by the honesty of individuals "Not everybody's straight up, but everybody's able" [1:15]. In another shade, we see a Gavlyn who is expressively vulnerable to her desires "I'm made of glass, I crack fast" [1:41] From another persona, we find a Gavlyn admiring the characteristics of someone unknown "You have a good soul, and this chemistry is nice" [0:28] The poetry encompasses things that many of us are able to relate too, we are all torn and tempted by our desires. We've all been the victim of our own 'Guilty Pleasure'. Anywho, behold the visuals below, produced by Figub Brazlevič and directed by the one and only Von Poe VII. Enjoy ;]

Soulcat E-Phife released a new single off of her up and coming mix-tape in the making. Meditate to the poetry and cultivate the vibes.

Haven't seen the EXCLUSIVE interview Feggy Min ART just released? That's quite alright ladies and gents, because as one of your sources for OGT news, I am here to provide and otherwise be a badass.

Lastly, I'd recommend swoopin' up on a copy of Vida Killz' 'Negative Space' album, she only has eight copies left. We all know the precious cargo doesn't last very long !
Until next time Nymphs and Nymphettes,
Regards
Aster
