Slaughterhouse
What up, folks? So the blog is (sorta) back in action. At least it doesn't look like shit any more. My boys are working on a new design for us right now, so hopefully we'll have a fresh look in a few weeks.
That said, I'm about to do a quick update for all the shit we've released in the past couple months, starting with Notion...
Y'all might have noticed the lack of blog posts in the last week or so. That's because we've been in Austin, Texas at SXSW, bitches. We barely had internet, plus with the whole attending panels/checking out a billion shows/drinking all day, there just wasn't time, goddamnit. So in the last fortnight, I've been at Canadian Music Week and SXSW and seen so many incredible shows, it'll take me all day to write about it. Some of the highlights from CMW included: Shad, French reggae outfit Dub Inc, Eric Hutchinson and Janelle Monae. SXSW awesomeness came courtesy of folks like James Blake, City & Colour, Shad (I saw him like 3 times in a week(, Slaughterhouse, South Dakota soul rockers ShowBaby, Los Rakas, Collie Buddz (STRAAIIIIIIGHT!), Yuck, J. Cole, Melanie Fiona, the AMAZING Marsha Ambrosius, Miguel, Bliss N Eso, Blue King Brown (and having dinner with the band after, awesome people), Black Milk, Curren$y, and Big K.R.I.T. I actually nearly cried when I was denied entry to see Jamie Woon on the last night. He was at the top of my list and I don't know why I left seeing him til the last day. I was genuinely gutted.
The most upsetting part was that Blu and Odd Future both sucked ass. Check out the video below from a vlogger we met at the panels, Anthony Fantano from The Needle Drop.com. Anthony and fellow vlogger Sami (and another dude, forgot the name, sorry guys) were the funnest bastards I've ever encountered on a panel, so it was both entertaining and informative. Plus Anthony was a real nice guy, so double win. But check his review of his SXSW experience below, particularly the Odd Future review, which is spot on.
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.
Fucking dope.
Travis Barker on the drums is always insane. This is the kind of live instrumentation craziness that is needed at all Hip Hop shows.
There's a Bun B verse on the end of this one as well in which he mentions Slaughterhouse. No idea if this is from some proper remix of the track.
This is actually pretty cool. MCs will know the deal but for the non-initiated, the Slaughterhouse boys drop some science, yo.
Aight, we showed y'all what happens when you leave Royce alone for 15 minutes with a pen and a beat, here's the results for Joell and Crooked...
Slaughterhouse on KUBE 93's Sound Session from DJ Hyphen on Vimeo.
Wooooord up. Big ups to the homies DJ Hyphen and J. Moore out in Seattle, WA, and their Sunday Night Sound Sessions show on Kube 93fm. Myself, Notion and Bekah done rolled through the studio last year in September during our US radio trip, and the boys been had the biggest names in Hip Hop on the show. None other than Slaughterhouse - Royce, Joell and Joe (Crooked was recording with a Seattle artist) - came through and gave a great interview. Check the video, and check out Hyph's blog for the audio and other details.
Lolskis. These dudes are saving Hip Hop right now. Cop that album.
Fuck, this is some shit. This is the first single off the supergroup's self titled album due to drop August 7th. Insane.
