The bruv NSR may be one of the most charismatic, talented artists I’ve encountered in a few years. This track is a funny interpretation of Llyod Banks – Beamer, Benz or Bentley. Check back here for more from NSR. You may even catch me make a guest appearance in a video.
Stoner music! The stoner genre of rap music is becoming ever so more important during the volatile times we are experiencing as a society. Is it escapism music? Just something to smoke to? A marketing gimic? Well, in JFK‘s case I think it is simply great music. The rapper/producer recently was featured on MTV2‘s Sucker Freestyle and I interviewed him for The Future is Bright back in December of 2009. The song that I feature today is a loose track and was also co-directed by JFK and Jay Dexter. Expect more from the VA native in 2010.
“2008 I had a dream to chase, I told all my friends all the money I would make. They doubted me gave the lemonade face, two years later how that lemonade taste?” – Wally.Vega
This dude is going to be big. Please familiarize yourself. Vega’s In The House coming soon.
About Vega:
“I am humanitarian hidden in a musicians clothes. So my music is racing against time to change the world. I write for that person that I’ll never meet, who’s two tears away from defeat.”
The previously released version was good but I love the imagery on this one. I’m going to end up re-watching this vid 10 or so times tonight just to catch some of the symbolism that may have ‘went over my head’.
I can’t wait till New Years Eve in NYC! This is a video that makes your reflect on ‘how’ and ‘with who’ you celebrate the New Year. Too bad MGMT and Ratatat couldn’t make their cameos. I wonder how they would have been incorporated.
