Something New – Gordo Brega feat. AB the Producer

admin — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 03:57:57 +0000

DTO Records & 1st Impressions Studio collaborate once again to release the third video from Gordo Brega’s highly acclaimed M.W.A mixtape “Something New” featuring AB The Producer. This third video (which is also Brega’s third official single) portrays a day of festivities in the Northwest part of the District. With scenes in and around the infamous “640″ building (known as South Beach to the people from there), the District’s biggest Migo brings a different perspective that tends to be neglected by the mainstream. The video truly is Something New!

Ced Hughes ft Theo Martins- How to Hang

Waldopy — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 05:20:39 +0000

To put it simply, this song is dope. There is really no other way to describe it. It’s our boy Theo and Ced Hughes just killing the verses, over a chill ass synth beat. I was singing along to the chorus by the second listen. I’m sorry I couldn’t find the player to throw on this post so you could hear for yourselves, but trust me it’s worth the download. Click HERE or click the picture below to download, you’ll be glad you did.

Phil Ade: The Letterman

Postman Pete — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 20:18:01 +0000

April 3, at the Final Four Feast (at Tommy Joe’s in Bethesda) is where I first heard Phil Ade. At first I thought he was terrible, my boys told me to give him a real listen and after a few tracks, I was sold. Now, I am actually a huge fan. After the release of his critically acclaimed mixtape “Starting on JV” Philade has been making big moves. His break through hit “Hollywood” jump started him into the music industry, and is now on radio rotation. He did a promo through Facebook where he would personally deliver a signed copy of his mixtape to his fans, and I got my copy that way. Not many MC’s will personally show love to their fans, and that’s why we at No-Hypebeast will always show love to the whole 368 Team, and will support him in anything he does. The DMV and fans all over have been anticipating the release of his album “The Letterman” which if completely FREE to download. This album is definitely worth a listen. Click the pic below to download the album, and show some love to a local artist. We see nothing but good things coming Phil’s way, and have to admit that he will be the next big thing to come out of the DMV music scene.

What you doin?!?… Bull$#!@in

This is the video teaser, directed by Dante Marshall, for Big Sean’s upcoming single from his mixtape Finally Famous Vol 3. This track goes IN harder than a lot of new shit I’ve been hearing lately. The instrumental itself is ridiculous, produced by the Olympicks, hailing all the way from Ann Arbor, Michigan. I have to admit as far as this whole swagger rap that is currently regarded as”thee hott shit,” Big Sean is one of the top contenders in my book. He’s got lines for days, and has you sometimes rewinding just to catch what he said. Just in case you don’t already have the track, click HERE to download. Peep the video below and let us know what you think. Also, the full length video for the track High Rise, also from Finally Famous Vol 3 just dropped, and you can check it out after the jump.

This is the video for the track “High Rise,” which also goes in. The video is pretty dope, but I think the boys over at 1st Impressions Studio could have done a better job with it… I’m just saying.

J.Cole – Who Dat (Directed by BBGUN)

Waldopy — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 00:09:43 +0000

BB Gun is well known for their high quality of work, and this video is epic. This video is for J. Cole’s single titled “Who Dat.” Although the official debut album has yet to be announced, his recent appearance on 106th & Park and the promotional plug for this video leaves fans with much to speculate about. The whole video is one continuos take, and I have to admit it works really well. This video must have been a challenge to shoot (to say the least) but everything from the concept, the angles, the coloring, and even the explosions are on point. I have to say its a good, solid body of work which BB Gun consistently delivers. This video is no different. Check out some more of their work at bbgunfilm.com, and peep J. Cole’s “Who Dat” music video below.
