Fresh off the press (see what I did there?), LA dropped off some brand new visuals for A Place, taken from her latest project LA Riots: Mental Fatality. This is one of my favorite joints off the record (next to ‘I’m Alive’)
If you haven’t grabbed a copy of LA Riots yet, make sure you do so before I tell ya mama on you.
Not sure how I missed this one but better late than never. Must watch for all beatheads and lovers of art in general.
I haven’t posted in a very long time….hopefully yall forgive me but just know there’s some good things going on with 100 Akres. With that said, Kendrick Lamar drops some visuals to my fave joint off of Section.80. I hope signing to a major doesn’t hold him back creatively. Amen.
This video isn’t new but I could’ve sworn I posted it when it first dropped….I guess not. Melo is an ill MC/beatmaker/producer/photographer from Brooklyn. This kid is in his own lane all while keeping art and creativity alive. Part of me hopes beat/remix performance doesn’t go mainstream so it can keep its authenticity. I’m already having a tough time dealing with the fact that Santa Claus isn’t real.
One of the few groups left that puts thought into song arrangement. If you missed the Evil Christian Cop: The Great Mistapes, check it out here.
No, this has nothing to do with STDs. We’re talking music and art here….oh yes.
If you want to support art, head on over for purchase of this dope DVD box set here: http://sofarida.bigcartel.com
Remember, every time you don’t support art….a baby panda gets stabbed by a unicorn.
I’m not familiar with White Denim, but from the research that I did (Ok, I didn’t research…I looked at the video details), it turns out they’re an indie band on my second favorite label Downtown Records. The throwback video is what caught me. I know everyone is doing the whole 80′s themed blah blah blah, but White Denim managed to capture it authentically while not taking away from the song. It also reminded me of how terrible prom was. #NoShots
Street Joy is off of their latest album, ‘D’. Be sure to check it out as I’ll probably do the same.
“Wicked Games” – The Weeknd – Dir: Storm from Dark Cloud Projects on Vimeo.
If you’re an avid FreshNerd reader, you’re probably familiar with the name Storm Saulter by now as I usually feature his fresh visuals here. Storm’s latest offering is his take on The Weeknd’s ‘Wicked Games’ and it is pretty wicked to say the least.
Upon first glance, the shock value overwhelmed me a bit and I didn’t quite get what Storm was trying to get across with these visuals. It wasn’t until the second viewing that I understood it was an interpretation of …..well, I don’t want to ruin it for you. Just watch…

The first video off of Kenna’s 3 EP series, Land 2 Air Chronicles I. The EP series will lead up to what will be his last album (insert curse word here). With the help of Chad Hugo (Neptunes) and a co-write with buddy from Interpol (Paul Banks), I must say this joint is pretty fresh. Unfortunately I can’t say that about the rest of the EP….I wish I could as I was one of the biggest Kenna fans when Sacred Cow dropped. Oh well, what can ya do? Enjoy///
Ok...enough about me.
