Blog - The Movement Fam, Independent Hip Hop Record Label - Toronto + Montréal
A kindly thank you goes out to the homie Chainz from Sinergy Crew for this amazing video. I usually find this shit mildly funny and had it on in the background while I was doing other stuff, and I cracked the fuck up. Too awesome for words.
By the way, just saw comedian Jamie Kilstein again tonight. Dude is now my favourite comedian, please go see his show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
The man now known in Australia as Maya Jupiter's husband-to-be, Aloe Blacc, has always been a sleeper in my book. I messed with the Emanon project he did with Exile but I wasn't feeling his solo shit that much, until I heard that joint. I swear it was a sample that started it off - but dude has a voice. If this is any indication of his upcoming album, I'm vibed for it. I'm about to go put his solo shit back on the iPod...
So here's the final video from The Movement Fam's set the other weekend at Evelyn. This is the first time we'd performed 'Scream At Ya Muhhfuckin' at the end of a set, and it went down amazingly well, so I reckon we'll keep rockin' it to end on a high...
Melbourne heads, just a reminder, hit us up for tickets to our next gig on April 23rd at Espy Gershwin Room, supporting the Impregnito EP Launch! Should be HUGE!
Second last video - this one is from the kid Notion, featuring the big homie Whisper on 'New Wave' (from 'World Domi-NoTiOn'). Always a high energy joint and a crowd fave.
Oh and just so y'all know, The Movement Fam has a gig coming up supporting soul/funk group Impregnito's EP launch on Friday 23rd April at the Espy Gershwin Room. Get down there!
So last night I saw what was arguably the funniest and intelligent comedy show I've ever seen, courtesy of Jamie Kilstein. Being a left-leaning, liberal kind of bloke, everything Jamie said permeated with my beliefs, hence my extreme bias to the amazingness of his show.
Anyway, one of the highlights was the Christian Side Hug. I found a video (below) on YouTube that breaks it down for y'all. I have no words. I'm a staunch athiest and very anti-organised religion, but this is out of control. There are seemingly no bounds to the insanity of the Christian church. Just watch.
Next up...Mr. Tommy Gunnz' solo moment, crowd favourite 'Cop Yourself Some Gunnz'. This joint always goes down well live, so we're itching for dude to murk out his mixtape, 'Garden State Warrior'. Peep!
I'ma keep the videos dribbling in over the long weekend to give y'all something to look forward to :)
This joint is a BANGER we recently did with the homie Theology3 (Toronto, Canada), with Hustle Beats on production. You can download 'Livin' This Life' right now FREE!
I was on youtube looking at a bunch of older videos and came across this. I had never seen the video for this before so I figured I'd post. Hope you all enjoy!
So we got even more for ya. These two are some of my favourite tracks from our recent projects. First up is 'The Last Hope' off 'The Soul Movement Vol 3', and the second is 'My Crew', which originally featured on 'World Domi-NoTiOn' but the version with Tommy Gunnz will be on Tommy's 'Garden State Warrior'. Peep!
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.
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'.
