June, 2009

So here’s the first peek at S-K-Y-Z-O-O‘s debut album, ‘The Saving’. Interesting shit. Keen for this one.

Yes, yes. What up E? My girl don’t quit. Back again with another video. Fuck I’m hanging for this album now lol. Hurry up, homegirl!

Ridic.

It’s one thing to go and play with LeBron James. It’s quite another to face Bruce Manley.

Perhaps you are not yet familiar with the name. Manley is something of a YouTube cult hero for his rather picturesque basketball trick shot skills.

Somehow, Shaquille O’Neal, the newest Cleveland Cavalier, saw the video. Apparently, his ego was piqued even more than when he saw Orlando’s Dwight Howard claim to be Superman.

So what did the NBA’s king of social networking do? He Twittered a challenge to a HORSEing duel.

“i wanna play this guy n horse for a thousand dollars, find him pls http://twitter.com/THE_REAL_SHAQ/status/2305266891,” read Shaq’s tweet.

According to the HoopDoctors.com, Manley has accepted Shaq’s challenge and the contest should happen some time in July. So I really would encourage everyone to look at the YouTube video I have embedded.

Another rip from the homie Kev:

“This track has been around a while. It first appeared on Drake’s 2007 mixtape Comeback Season [download], but was incomplete. The full version includes Elzhi’s verse…production handled by 9th Wonder with a cool Anita Baker sample. Hit the cut for the link.”

Dudes don’t mess around. Big ups to the extremely talented Dwele for this very quick tribute to the late, great MJ.

Re-post of Kev’s lil note about our label mate Nobody Famous’ album launch. If y’all in the LA area, head down!

Sup y’all! Yes, this IS a serious thing, despite the hilarity. Pure Aussie comedy rawness. So, producers LISTEN UP!

“This is so fucking hilarious! M-Phazes pulls off his debut as hip-hop’s leading infomercial actor/producer. Technically this is a vlog ad for his new Dirty 30 Drum Disc Vol. 2, but in reality it’s comedy gold. If M-Phazes music career doesn’t pan out, dude could definitely do stand up. I don’t see that happening though…. his beats kick ass!”

Sneaker pimps, what do y’all think of this collabo with LV & ‘Ye? I personally thought WTF on first sight, but its a retro “Back to the Future” Reebok look I reckon… and at $600+ beans too, I’m not sure how many consumers gon’ dig that. I certainly don’t. I can imagine him making a packet off this lil venture either way!

Check out the vid!

Oh it’s on now! The biggest thing to happen to The Movement Fam this year was being signed to Kevin Nottingham‘s HiPNOTT Records. So now that we mufuckin’ offishall, Kev done put together a nice sampler of what y’all can expect from us. Peep game and get your DL on and spread the word! From Kev:

“Ever since I announced the formation of my new label, HiPNOTT Records, I have been wanting to give you all a “taste” of what’s to come. The music really is THAT GOOD… and the music is the sole reason I put the label together.

So I compiled a sampler, if you will, of music from all the artists currently on my roster. Some tracks are brand new and being premiered here first, while others are some of the best that these artists have had in their vaults.

At any rate, A Taste of HiPNOTT should give you a good idea of what the label will sound like and what’s to come this year.

Don’t forget to visit us at www.hipnottrecords.com for more music!
