Serato sais:

The Do-Over are celebrating their 10th Birthday this year, in association with Serato and Adidas.
At the opening event last weekend, the day kicked off as usual with co-founders Chris Haycock and Jamie Strong, who were then followed by the special guests of the day Sango, J.Rocc, Salva, Thee Mike B and hosted by Mad Skillz, showing us why The Do-Over is one of the best parties on the planet.
Listen to J Rocc the Funky President’s full set, laying down the vibes.

If you’re partying on a Sunday in LA over the summer, chances are you’re at the Do-Over. You might even be lucky enough to see J Rocc the Funky President, laying down the vibes. We were there last weekend and recorded the whole thing, hosted by the man himself Mad Skillz.

Keep your eyes peeled for some footage of the event coming soon.

Montana sais:

The new spray can model by Montana Colors, MTN Speed, has arrived. Far from an alternative to Hardcore 2, this new can solves the demands for a more specific usage. Speed is especially adapted for fast use: high pressure, matte paint, with maximum opacity and quick dry time, available in a brief color range of 25 colors (15 new!). All of that in a more competitive price range.
What better way to demonstrate the function of this new tool than with a real-time video of a piece being painted in just 2 minutes, in broad daylight.
Warning: do not try this at home.

MNDSGN-Against the Clock w/ Fact Mag *Video

Fact Mag sais:

Against the Clock is a series where we give an artist 10 minutes in the studio and see what they come up with.

In this episode, we linked up with Mndsgn (pronounced “mind design” – it’s a reference to a Nas lyric, in case you were wondering) in his Los Angeles home studio.

Although he’s settled on the West Coast, and its sleepy sound fits his sleepy keys like a glove, Mndsgn was born in the Philippines, where his parents formed part of the Aum Supreme Truth Cult. The Cult’s ventures into terrorist activity caused them to flee the group in the late 1980s, and after being granted political asylum in the US they settled in rural New Jersey.

Since moving West, Mdsgn has signed to Stones Throw Records, who released his debut album Yawn Zen last year. He’ll be taking his twinkling fingers (check that bird’s eye view!) to London later this month, performing for Soundcrash on May 30.

Nocando-FACT Freestyles (Ep. 13)-Prod. by Great Dane *Video

Fact Mag sais:

Real name Jimmy McCall, Nocando has been making his mark in the LA hip-hop scene since 2004. Gaining notoriety after winning the 2007 Scribble Jam battle championship, he’s a regular host for the city’s famed Low End Theory party, and has worked with producers like Nosaj Thing, Daedelus, Free The Robots and more. His most recent release, Jimmy The Burnout, came out last year. Great Dane on the beat, and just look at that sky.

Skyzoo f/ Westside Gunn-Luxury-Prod. by Skyzoo w/ Help From !llmind #NewMusic

Skyzoo sais:

The idea behind the record was to put together something that really felt like the city. Something that really felt like the NY that I know and grew up in. From the content to the beat, it feels like expensive cars driven by guys from down the block who figured out a way to get whatever they want and celebrate those realizations. That’s how the city looked and felt to me growing up, and I wanted to build something like that for this generation that still tied into the album’s overall theme of innocent ignorance and misguided desires.

“I had this idea for what the song should be sonically, but I had trouble getting that from the producers I went to at the time. I decided to try to man the machine myself, but there was no way I was gonna be able to pull it off without my man !llmind and his genius talents playing Steve Kerr and coaching my efforts. I went to him with the idea, picked the drums, the loop, the change ups, etc, and he then helped orchestrate it and bring it to life”.

“Music For My Friends”, hits stores June 23rd via First Generation Rich Inc./Empire and can be pre-ordered here: smarturl.it/MFMF
