Video:Stalley(Produced by J.Rawls)-Babblin’

Posted on August 18, 2010 by Wes Flexner | 1 comment

Ohio Native Stalley teams up with Columbus’ one and only, Mr. J. Rawls for Babblin’. Filmed in Louisiana, this video is ill because it has Stalley at the wreckage of Katrina and also in tourist areas. Kind of a reminder that 1)the world constantly goes to party, and leave their debris in New Orleans. When I lived down there, it used to trip me out that they had casinos and all this tourist money coming in, but none of the money seemed to get to the schools. Louisiana was always last or next to last in education. Which leads to the real point of this video, 2)that New Orleans is still suffering from the Katrina related neglect and people still pass through not giving fuck.

You can download Stalley’s “The Autobiography” on his Bandcamp..
And always peace to Mr. J.Rawls.
(also peep the Jay Electronica cameo)

Fly Union-Value Pack

Posted on July 29, 2009 by Wes Flexner | 2 comments

Fly Union have this drinking squad called the “Rossi Posse”. It centers around drinking Rossi. I think thats why they have drink special at Whud-Up Wednesdays that involves Rossi. Not Sure. But its inexpensive and comes in a large quantity.

Above is a shaky video of a Fly Union and DJ Giovanny putting people down with the Rossi Posse on the Red Bull Party Bus that CJ Townsend hooked up last month. We basically rolled around drinking in a bus while CJ played various musics, including “Gold Chain” by Fly Union, a song thats has been popular on the blogs.

All free-loading booze deals aside, Fly Union is back with another download thats been getting burn. Value Pack is a 4 song EP that Fly Union is giving aways.

Envelope Is Performing @ CD101 Summerfest

Posted on July 27, 2009 by Wes Flexner | 14 comments

Cd101 summerfest just got wavy . Envelope won the contest of public opinion. Oddly enough, he may be the only rapper in Columbus that truely follows the traditional formula of blowing up in his city. Neighborhood backing—->Crews—->Rocking the Party—->Record Sales—->Radio play.

(Granted radio play is on CD101 not 107.5, record sales are at indie rock stores not hoodspots, the party is either at Skullys or Bourbon Street not Icon or Club Ice, the Crews are BSA, Thought Set, Weightless instead of the Bloods, and his neighborhood is Clintonville not Livingston Ave. )

Too Short, told y’all:”Get in where you fit in”.

Anyway ,Envelope will be performing on @ the LC alongside Matt & Kim, Stellastar —-who has some song that isn’t about spatial intelligence or night vision—- called Graffiti Eyes,Black Joe Louis and Honey Bears,the Living Things, Band of Skulls, and Company of Thieves.

Tickets are 5 bucks.

Good job Columbus.
