Aight, so here’s the next installment of The Movement Fam show from Saturday night. This time we’re rockin’ out to Notion‘s ‘Set Me Free’ with Bekah from his ‘World Domi-NoTiOn‘ mixtape, along with Cee & Bekah‘s single ‘Ain’t No Mountain’ and ‘See It Through’, both off ‘The Soul Movement Volume 3: The Final Chapter‘.

So this weekend was pretty damn hectic for The Fam. We did our first show in over a year – yeah, I know. Fucked up, right? We much preferred to stay in the studio and work on the 10+ projects we have going, however we realised just how overdue we were coz damn near every other day people kept asking when they could catch us live. So the homie Adam King from You ‘n UR Music hit us up to rock at their single launch and it was a wrap!

The show was incredible. I haven’t seen the Evelyn that packed in ages, and I was genuinely surprised and grateful for the love we were shown. I think it showed in our performance, as we’re all a lot more confident of our music, so even though we were a tad rusty with our stage game, it didn’t really seem that way.

So, the homegirl Bianca videoed the gig for us fantastically, and I’ma post a couple videos each day for the rest of the week. Check out the vids below, with the intro, Notion‘s ‘Enter My World’ and Cee & Bekah‘s ‘Save Myself’ with Tommy Gunnz. Go!

The new homies Botanics are on some shit.

Check the video for their latest single ‘What The Deal Is’. I’m really vibin’ off these cats. MCs are tight, band is dope, video is fresh.

Head over to their MySpace to check out upcoming tour dates – Melbourne heads can catch the fellas at Bar Open on Brunswick St, Fitzroy on Saturday May 8th.

For my first post on TheMovementFam.com I figured I’d post a few older videos. I’ll eventually get to posting some more new music and some interviews but for now just sit back and enjoy the classics!

Cleveland emcee, Drastic, performs his tribute to J Dilla “Been In This Game” off of his album AWHIN Til The End. Drastic is one of the most talented emcees in Cleveland.

Here’s the official ‘Window Seat’ video. About to watch it now but apparently she gets her kit off. Curious…

*OK, just watched it. Wow. I need to find the unedited version of this.

I love Erykah. That is all. Buy her new album.

Shouts to Whitey and Gunny for putting me onto this one. This is extra pertinent for myself, who now works for a film distribution company and watches movies and trailers for a living (well, sorta). Love it.

We absolutely love Joell here at themovementfam.com, I found this on a real ill blog “watchmeyuu.com” I stumbled across from @listen2spec’s Twitter, and saw this crazy video for a ill story track. Peep this! Highschool puppy love shit at its finest. Peace to Slaughterhouse!

Nosh dog.

So I’m ABOUT folky, acoustic music these days, especially since I started playing guitar again. I only discovered Angus & Julia Stone recently, and these guys are incredible. Check the videos below, which span most of their projects (in chronological order). Bliss N Eso fans might recognise ‘Paper Aeroplane’, which was sampled on their cut ‘Eye Of The Storm’.
