December, 2009

So, it’s New Years Eve, 2009. Damn this year went quick.

It’s been a hectic one for the Fam; we inked a deal with Kevin Nottingham’s HiPNOTT Records in March; released Cee & Bekah’s ‘The Soul Movement Volume 3: The Final Chapter’ with Mick Boogie & Terry Urban in November; Notion and I lost our grandfather in August; Bekah and I sold our crib; we had the first full, successful calendar year at The Movement Fam blog; we’ve had dramas, highs, lows and everything in between.

We want to thank EVERYONE for their support of the site and our music all year, it’s been phenomenal.

So thank you 2009; it’s been real. What the fuck up 2010?? LET’S FUCKING GET IT!

Happy New Year folks!

Stacks pimpin’. Looks like a display home though. Ain’t nobody livin’ there.

The big homie G.C. done came with a special gift for y’all to lead in the new year with…G.C. on the Beats, Volume 1. This is a really solid collection of a bunch of his favourite joints from the various artists he’s worked with. Cee & Bekah’s ‘Ven Aqui’ makes an appearance here in full, the only place you can get it for now (until The Soul Movement Originals drops next year)…

From Kev:

“We have one more exclusive mixtape that we are dropping today and this one is a personal fav as it is from the sole producer that I manage.

2009 has been a very productive year for G.C., who we first heard of in our weekly remix contests at KevinNottingham.com. Since then, he has worked with quite a handful of artists, such as MaG, K. Sparks, Trav Williams, Jermiside, and Punchlyne & Fokis. We decided to put together a collection of some of G.C.’s best work thus far. This is G.C. on the Beats, Volume 1!

Any support is greatly appreciated!”

So this is a long one. And I know a lotta folks think Birdman is a dick, but he’s one interesting character. About to kick this one off now over some dinner…

Check out the recent Olympic Torch Relay in T.O. in preparation for the Vancouver Olympics next year. Look out for Kardinal Offishall towards the end. Such an amazing city…

BEHIND THE SCENES OF LIL WAYNE’S “ON FIRE” A DERICKG.COM EXCLUSIVE from DERICK G on Vimeo.

Peep this one…I’m feelin’ the Rebirth leak thus far, video looks dope.

“Above is a behind the scenes look at the On Fire music video by Lil Wayne. Derick G shows us the set where you can see Weezy F Baby rocking out with the group MayDay. This video was directed by Chris Robinson and it was shot in Miami.”

For those who give a shit…this looks pretty interesting. Word to Will’s kid holding it down. Jackie doesn’t look too slick as Miyagi though.

So if y’all didn’t already know, The Roots’ Black Thought is about to drop a solo album. Here’s some footage of dude rockin’ the classic ‘Respond/React’ in his hometown of Philadelphia.

Check out Candy Slice’s parody of NBC’s The Sing-Off performing “Money To Blow” by Birdman Ft. Drake & Lil Wayne featuring singer/songwriter Wynter Gordon. This is fucking hilarious.
