Case Arnold X Robot Orchestra - "Still"

Clarksville, TN emcee and true schooler Case Arnold recently teamed up with German producer Robot Orchestra and the results are a chill, confessional track for the Summer months ahead. People tend to ignore Case for his style, a "bummy white dude" approach to the game, but one listen to his choice of beats and honest lyrics usually convinces any doubters. He seems like a good dude and I can rock with everything he's dropped thus far, so hopefully he keeps it up as continues to grind. Check it out and support an emcee rocking from an unlikely corner of the country.

Video: Amiri - "Heart Broken"

HiPNOTT Records emcee and Justus League affiliate, Amiri, recently released the video for the track "Heart Broken" from his "This Is Part Time" album. The video is an honest nod to relationships and the ups and downs of finding "the one". Amiri always drops some grown man subject matter, so check the lyrics close and be mindful of the old adage "love or lust" when seeking your significant other. Mellow Monday soundtrack.

Throwback: Fatlip X Spike Jonze - "What's Up, Falip?" Mini-Doc

Back in the early 2000s, former Pharcyde emcee Fatlip, dropped a solo project called "What's Up Fatlip" and teamed with now-famed film director Spike Jonze to direct a lo-fi, self-depreciating video of Fatlip at his perceived "bottom of the barrel" status at the time. In addition to the recording of the video, Spike created a mini-documentary that shows behind-the-scenes footage and how the concept for the music and video came to be. The contrast of the lo-fi video and the smarter minds behind the camera keep the subject matter interesting by shining a light on the struggles of a hip hopper who came to realize that the glitter and glam of the rap industry is not what it was cracked up to be. Pretty insightful for all the cats who are trying to emulate the current trends of the hip hop world.
