Surrealist Super Mario [Video]
We all know who the Mario Brothers are but have you ever stepped back and tried looking at those games from a fresh perspective? Like you've never seen or heard of them before? They're bananas! There are armored turtles who stand on their hind legs and steal princesses! There are bullets with FACES! We make a case for Mario's inclusion into a canon of art wider than 'Video Game': we think Mario is a piece of surrealist artwork.

One Be Lo: K.I.C.K. P.U.S.H. [Album]
Keep it cool kid. People usually show hate.
That was my mentality when I first started making music in highschool, growing up in Pontiac Michigan. 20 years later, that motto holds a different position in the career of One Be Lo.
K.I.C.K. P.U.S.H. was birthed in the wee hours of the night, while most people were resting and preparing for the next workday. After spending long days recording and mixing the LABOR album, it felt like going to Widetrax studio afterwards was more like taking a break from the actual job. The LABOR project is very conceptual. There are many layers in that project, and I expect people to take a while to get all of it. This K.I.C.K. P.U.S.H. is a fun record. Recording it was fun because there was no pressure to do it, but we still maintain the same work ethic. At one point, Pontiac was known for manufacturing cars, that moved people all over the world. Now that the auto industry is a ghost in our town, we carry on the tradition of manufacturing music that will move people all over the globe, whether you have a car or not.
K.I.C.K.(keep it cool kid) P.U.S.H. (people usually show hate) represents the raw energy that inspired me to make music over 20 years ago. We were always self motivated because most people around us didn’t understand what we were doing, or had the crab in the bucket mentality. In some instances we had to KICK down doors and PUSH our way in. For everybody that understands, sounds of Nahshid originate good rhymes and music. Something to interest Lo listeners beyond original recorded networkings. Real emcee’s bring intelligent rhymes to HipHop. Language arts based on Reality. Keep it cool kid. People usually show hate. That’s the motto.

OneBeLo: Lyrical Abilities Blocked Over Radio (The L.A.B.O.R. Instrumentals) & LabORatories (The L.A.B.O.R. Accapellas) [Beat Tape]
L.A.B.O.R. is arguably OneBeLo's most cohesive album yet. An acronym for Language Arts Based On Reality and another play on the birth concept before B.A.B.Y., the disc sees Lo cleverly using a theme of animals and occupations to metaphorically convey an assortment of issues, storylines and displays of lyricism. 'Pigs' speaks on corrupt law enforcement, 'Ox Y Moron' shows the highs and lows of upgrading your bank account, and 'The G.O.A.T.' sees him examining the ins and outs of peoples' interpretations of God, or 'the greatest of all time.' On the stylish tip, he slyly uses 'WILdeBEEST' to showcase elaborate wordplay of 'will/wheel.'
LABOR also incredibly showcases DL7, Lo's all-female band that made its debut at SxSW 2010 and has since performed with him at shows around the world. DL7’s production adds a notable live element to the record, amplifying Lo's conceptual rhymes more than ever before.

Matthew Africa: The Best of E-40 [Mixtape]
Yay Game draws 40 songs from all eras of E-40′s career, from 1990′s ‘Let’s Side’ to his current single, 'Function.’ His catalog is so vast and deep that choosing just 40 songs to represent him was incredibly tough, but I’ve tried to fit in everything from mob slumpers and album sleepers to radio and club hits. Obviously, there are a lot of other classic songs that could have been on here but aren’t; I picked the ones that to me best embody his work as a whole. Or are just ones I really love.

20 years after riots ripped through Los Angeles, 'Uprising' documents how hip hop forecasted -- and some say ignited -- the worst civil unrest of the 20th century. The film revisits the riots in gripping detail and draws from a diverse collection of voices -- the rappers, rioters, victims, police officers, journalists and everyday citizens of South Central Los Angeles. The documentary traces the rise of dissent in Los Angeles in the 80's and 90's and explores why citizens chose to rise up violently against police abuse and perceived injustices.

Bobby Tre: The Penrose Stairs [Mixtape]
While Bobby Tre has been criticized for his monthly mixtape releases, he continues to share his projects consistently and with ease. Inspiration is the motive behind each of his projects and with the belief in evolution and growth, the artist hopes to inspire others to be themselves and share their messages with the world, despite what the opposition is. As a young entrepreneur, and independent music artist, Tre finds inspiration in his daily life, from his struggles to transcending obstacles any person faces, his lyrics are a reflection of who he is and he stays true to that.
'The Penrose Stairs' is meant to provoke the images of a never-ending journey. People should think of the paradoxes in life, from falling in love to friendships, business and everything around them. In the 'The Penrose Stairs' listeners learn more about the views of Tre, while also experiencing his musical experiments. In past projects listeners heard songs performed and recorded by artists like Bob Dylan or Red Hot Chili Peppers, this time around they have a chance to hear Tre in a different way. Although he is a rapper, he does not hesitate to share his inspirations from other genres of music, which is not often seen in the urban crowd.

From Bad Perm:
Creative Loafing Atlanta recently ran a film contest entitled 'ATL Short Cuts 2012.' Contestants were challenged to produce a film that captured Atlanta’s music scene in five minutes or less. I got the opportunity to tag along with the High Impact Multimedia team on day one of filming. Despite it being one of the coldest days this winter, Atlanta’s Hip Hop 'who’s who' turned out in droves to contribute and lend their support to this project. The film, appropriately titled, 'UNDEREXPOSED: Indie Hip-Hop in Atlanta' is an accurate representation of just how diverse Atlanta’s Hip Hop community is. There are so many dope, Indie artists here whose music is underrepresented by mainstream radio. This film by W. Feagins, Jr. captures the spirit of solidarity, respect and support, that is indicative of area emcees, musicians, and producers alike.
