EoTRSDAY 10/4/2018

There are a lot of reasons I give EOTR Network their own weekly day on Jooseboxx- they're dope, they're entertaining, magnetic and likable when recorded but also because they represent a new wave of Mexican-American hip-hop artists fighting to be heard that thousands of Latino youth in Cali and beyond can relate to. I want to associate myself with the side of cultural history that embraced this wave. Note how the Hollow Visions and Vile videos work in tandem with their (at the time) upcoming music releases; take notes kids....

Hollow Visions has a new travelogue story series, pull up a chair or just sit cross-legged.

Don't miss Kiddo and Macks on this gritty but fun knocker by Badson Beats.

Never to be outdone or stagnant, the Soul Providers bring you a new literary discussion series on Youtube for your perusing convenience! 

    
    Between the last EoTRSDAY installment and now these foos made a video for this track so peep it one time! Chill ass banger.

                                   
  It feels like Mescal drops a new definitive manifesto every year and this year is no different- each time they feel like the ultimate one so let's see if he can't top himself in 2019....Had the pleasure of seeing him rock this one at Blackbooks & Rhymebooks in July and haven't quite had it out of my head since.

Til next time....

Recent Video Round Up with: Theez, Hvlloween, East of the River, RasJosh Beats & Ital Santos

                                                        "JEFE GOLDBLUM"
ARTIST: THEEZ
VIDEOGRAPHER: ENKRYPT 

Yung Thesis’ rebrand as the reborn “Theez” continues apace with this simple yet fresh Enkrypt Los Angeles live but studio quality performance of his new song “Jefe Goldblum”! His humor and skill is always top-flight so never sleep on the kid!

"STRESSED OUT"

ARTIST: HVLLOWEEN
VIDEOGRAPHER: 6TH ELEMENT

Hvlloween’s new 6^th Element videos keep coming with drama and cinematic high value production. Hvlloween is a tenacious and undeniable talent from the 951 area and he won’t be ignored- step into his dark yet all too familiar world for a moment, won’t you?

                                                      "BOMBER ( HAN SOLO) "
ARTIST: RASJOSH BEATS & TANJINT WIGGY
VIDEOGRAPHER: ALEX REYNOSO AKA PPAACCEE

Do you like weed? Do you like Star Wars? Do you like bars and beats and videos by long-time Herbalistics’ videographer Ppaaccee aka Alex Reynoso? Of course you do! Check this ish out witcha bad self. 

                                                            "UNDERDOG"

ARTIST: VIVA MESCAL DON'T SLEEP KILLA TECK MAD MACKS DJ SURVIVE BADSON
VIDEOGRAPHER: MIGHTY MUDS ONE

One of the most ambitious EOTR/Mighty Muds One productions yet, Muds gives each feature on this banging and aggressive single from Mescal’s latest LP their own scene in this epic and well-executed posse cut visual. Take particular note of the drone pullout shots from the Hollywood sign circa the Mad Macks section to be impressed and entertained!

                                                       "HERE TO STAY"
ARTIST: ITAL SANTOS
VIDEOGRAPHER: ITAL SANTOS & GEORGE BURNS aka JORGE QUEMAS

The latest of Ital Santos’ trilogy of music videos for his new Reflections instrumental LP depicts some of the I.E.’s finest, just doing what they do, with no plans of leaving. I love the everyday celebration of 909 life these guys display and the music is funky and substantial, even without lyrics in this instance. Put something in the air and head nod to this.

VIDEO ROUND-UP WEEK OF 10/5/2017 featuring CookBook, Orchid, Hvlloween, Elevate One, Muds One and more!

SONG: COOKBOOK & FLYNN ADAM
VIDEO: MIGHTY MUDS ONE

This video is super fun, Muds delivers as always. CookBook's shit is chill on the surface but also super barsy over this bassy bossy production-peep it!

SONG: ORCHID
VIDEO: REGINA STONE

Here's a creepy cool subdued but lyrically direct video and song, just in time for Halloween!

SONG: HVLLOWEEN & SUFOK8
VIDEO: @6thelementtt

Hvlloween drops another cinematic polemic on the whack straight from the dungeon with Sufok8- the drums on this track don't stop either man, a favorite from his Grey Day record personally. The chorus is so simple but so clever, one of those ideas you wish you thought of yourself.

SONG: TONY GWYNN WITH THA HALO
VIDEO:  KALI OSO

Some hard boom-bap from San Diego; a knocker in tribute to Padre's legend Tony Gwynn- bang this!

WIGGY WEDNESDAYS: VIDEO ROUND-UP WEEK OF 8/23/2017 featuring Mad Macks, Araless, Muds One, Cam Gnarly and more

SONG: WIDE AWAK BY MAD MACKS AND BAD SON

VIDEO: MIGHTY MUDS ONE

Another boom-bap classic from East of the River. I love that this video makes Mad Macks' college graduation ceremony look cool. The video is still dripping with irony and working class skepticism of the system, evident in Macks' irreverence while so many students around him are somber but at the end of the day, the video conveys an image of family and loved ones are happy around our protagonist. Muds' eye conveys both the momentousness and everydayness of the situation with Macks gamely playing a Fresh Prince-like vessel for the audience to experience the narrative through. More Mad Macks here

SONG: THE JUICE BY CAM GNARLY AND BRIAN/FOLK

VIDEO:  NEW CULTURE MEDIA GROUP & CYBERTHUG
Cam Gnarly’s modern polished posi-bangers never disappoint. Gnarly reminds me of OutKast- each time a new song of his starts, you’re sad the last one ended and then the cycle repeats. This song is no different and Cam’s hip embrace of campy on-the-nose video imagery is a stoner’s delight.

SONG: INTERTWINE BY ARALESS & OK

VIDEO: ARALESS AND MELANIE WINSLOW

Seattle based hip-hop artist Araless finally dropped the video for his chill summer love song, “Intertwine”. Set in San Diego, the piece finds his co-director and he clearly enjoying themselves and each other. Don’t miss the EP’s worth of remixes that came out with this single and since. More Araless here

BEATMAKER YOHALMO VIDEO: MIGHTY MUDS ONE

Nice clips of up and coming beatmaker Yohalmo, video by the John Romita Jr. of west coast hip-hop videos himself....

DOCUMENTARY WEB-SERIES: EAST OF THE RIVER - ROAD TO PAID DUES

VIDEOGRAPHER: MIGHTY MUDS ONE
Yeah that's two monthly video round-ups in a row in which Muds One has multiple entries in the round-up. What can I say? Dude puts out a lot of completed polished content. This chronicle of the East of the River crew’s journey to their Paid Dues appearance on 09/16/2017 is released in weekly webisodes and is funny as hell. Looking forward to watching it all as one movie soon!
