If you steal my money I don’t have that money anymore. If you copy my music I still have it, and so does everyone else who has it. No one loses anything, the supply of copies just increases. – Peter Jenner

FreshRaasPick: Christian Rich – Famous Girl (Video)
It looks like while I was enjoying my b-day last month, I missed all of the dope shit. I’m late on this one, so this is for the nerds that haven’t seen this as of yet. Christian Rich is a group that is currently residing in New York via Chicago and they’re pretty dope. What’s doper though is this video and the concept behind it which can probably be translated a number of ways. Have any idea what its about? Let’s talk about it….leave a comment and let me know what you think.

FreshIndie: Buff1 ft. AB – Real Appeal (prod by 14KT)
Feelin’ this joint from Detroit’s Buff1.
‘Real Appeal’ is the third single from Buff1′s critically acclaimed sophomore solo album There’s Only One. Feeling more confortable as a solo artist, Buff1′s increased confidence is readily apparent as he playfully boasts about his knowledge of what women really want. Buff1′s mature lyricism is complimented by a chorus featuring ultra smooth vocalist AB, and production by A-Side Worldwide’s superproducer in the making, 14KT.
In his directorial debut, Jackson Perry, A-Side’s President (and member of Now On) delivers a high quality video that far outshines today’s standard straight-to-YouTube offerings. The classic black & white visual perfectly captures the song’s essence, managing to simultaneously be soulful, intelligent and tastefully seductive. This video for Real Appeal serves as a feather in Buff1′s fitted, proving that There’s still Only One.”

In 2008, Juxtapoz Magazine and Upper Playground asked David Choe, Alex Pardee, Saber & Retna to paint their way across the United States. Traveling the country from Washington D.C. to the Bay Area with spray cans in their hands and cameras following, they bombed, brushed, and painted, leaving a swath of color and creativity in their wake. This short documentary piece, set to the music of Cutsoquick, captures the artists as they hit the streets collaborating on huge pieces and connecting with fans and admirers of their art from all walks of life. Watch the film on Walrus TV.
