Speaking of I.E. vets, Calligraphy has always been a distinctive quirky and intellectual voice in the community and I am happy to hear this OhGoshLeotus produced gem of a single recently dropped to add some flavor and rhythm to your winter nights.
I love the double meaning Notiz employs here as he figuratively journeys his way to fatherhood on the track- peep the blood vessels on this self-produced piece.

This week a lot of new videos, songs and albums came out so we had to share a few of them with our fine readers, check it:
NOA JAMES produced by ELIAS & AYE BROOK- KEEP THAT SHITTY ENERGY TO YOURSELF
Noa James' new single is an aggressive banger that shows the flip side to the philosophy he's been espousing on records like his latest E.P. "Peace of Cake". Over a face-stompingly hard beat, Noa implores his listeners to only come with that pleasantness, ya dig? "Be Majestic" magazine coming soon, stay tuned to all things BTYF for the latest!
VIDEO by MIGHTY MUDS ONE
Muds changes it up for a stylish L.A. visual to accompany the bonus track from Kiddo's debut album. The chorus here is undefeated as EOTR's march to L.A. supremacy continues! Peep it!

First of all, I would like to give a HUGE shoutout to BrickToYaFace for accomplishing 4 years of the organized impossible out in the Inland Empire. Where would the I.E music scene be without them? .....I'll wait..... Exactly!
Last night I attended the Common Ground's 4 year Anniversary Celebration & I must say!! If you weren't their for Speak's set with UTB Lifestyle, you honestly missed out on the most energy I've experienced from a live show in my lifetime!
As I arrived at the venue I noticed a poster by the entrance...Could this be?.... The official lineup for D.I.Y FEST 2013?! .... WELL HOT DAMN ! Lol ...
WANNA SEE WHO WILL BE PERFORMING AT D.I.Y FEST THIS YEAR?
Check out the digital poster after the break and tell us who you are excited to see @TheJooseBoxx !
Some bunkered down and "bugged out" as the Mayan calender apocolypse neared on December 21st, 2012, still others knocked a few items off their bucket lists... just in case it was in fact doomsday. I can testify, Yung Miss and a star-studded cast of talented performers took over The Glass House in Pomona for Brick to ya Face's Grimey Dankmas concert. Check out Yung Miss' set in it's entirety after the break.
