  • ESP Music Agenda: August Vinyl Purchase

    Trying to expand my vinyl catalog and was surprised by a nice little gem some record companies are doing to keep buyers purchasing physical copies. They are adding digital download cards to the vinyl so you have it on the computer as well on your turntables. I definitely support this movement because it is easier than trying to rip your vinyl and separate the songs through an audio program. Here are the new joints that will be bumping through the Ecliptic Sight headquarters for this month:

    Gangrene – Gutter
    Pete Rock & Smif-N-Wessun – Monumental
    Random Axe – Random Axe
    Madlib – Medicine Show No. 9: Channel 85 Presents Nittyville
    Gangrene – Sawblade EP (Shaped like a sawblade and new music not on the Gangrene – Gutter album)

  • Same Folks Goes To The Fifth Element

    Sometimes the screenshot is enough…

    Pre-orders are up on Fifth Element for Evidence – Cats & Dogs and you get this song, Same Folks featuring Fashawn (video above) as a bonus.

  • See Today It Will Be Soulcrate Music

    I love it when I stumble across music like this. I was on Fifth Element to see if they had pre-order on the new Evidence album. On the front page I saw an album cover for a group I have never heard of. They are called Soulcrate Music and the album is, “The Kick Rocks Collection” and I clicked the link to see what they were about. So I ventured to YouTube to see if I could find their videos and was greeted with this one called, “See Today” off their album I mentioned above. So I thought I would share a new group I discovered so you can do the same.

  • Stones Throw Inspires Music Videos

    Stones Throw does a lot for music such as dropping the latest Madlib track or delivering the soulful crooning of Aloe Blacc. Now it looks as if Stones Throw will be responsible for more music video content. With their 15 year anniversary, they decide they wanted the fans to get involved by having a video contest. With the vast catalog of Stones Throw aspiring music video directors only had thier own creative stopping them. The contest is now over and Stones Throw will be announcing the winners soon but you can still see all of the entries on Stones Throw’s Vimeo page. Here are some of my personal favorites but there are so many more to check out:

  • Serius Jones Takes A Well Deserved Victory Lap

    Serius Jones is still doing his thing after his Fight Klub win, releasing street albums/mixtapes such as, “King Me” and making a short film called, “Life is Serius”. The opening of this video is what caught my attention and they explain it through out the video with some creative typography and camera work. Overall an enjoyable music video and song.

    Artist: Serius Jones
    Song: Victory Lap
    Album: War Music
    Music Producers: Ceasar & PStarr
    Director: Fabrizio Conte
    Post Production: Frame24

  • ESP Music Agenda: Jean Grae – Cookies or Comas

    Jean Grae has devised the perfect name for her new mixtape, “Cookies or Comas” because if you listen to her delicious flow too much it may put you into a coma. There is not too much to say about Jean Grae as long as you have heard any of her music then you probably already have this and if you have not heard of her (what is wrong with you) then this will make you see why she is a favorite at Ecliptic Sight. Alright stop reading this and go download all for the price of free at DJBooth.net.

     

  • Co-Flow Resurrect

    If that title didn’t pique your interest then you don’t know who Company Flow is or you just lost that excitement for Hip-Hop. Well El-P, Bigg Jus and Mr. Len are back to inject some of that goodness back into your heart. No, they do not have a new album out but they are doing a reunion show (so hopefully a new album is in the works) that sold out so the demand is there. As a treat for the fans El-P dug up this song called, “N2N Burners Lost Mix” which you can download at http://therealelp.official.fm/. The artwork below is dope as well and gave me the idea for this post (Click image for full size).

  • ESP Music Agenda: Albums Unexpected

    There are two albums that definitely caught me by surprise with releases this month. First up is a new Wu-Tang album entitled, “Legendary Weapons” similar to how their last album came out of no where called, “Chamber Music”. I will never complain about any Wu music because I have purchased my fair share of releases and they have been on a streak of hits with their recent solo efforts. The album will be out June 28th.

    Next up is also a treat with the team up of Eminem and Royce da 5’9″ also known as Bad Meets Evil. If you heard the song, “Scary Movies” and this does not make you drool over this project then I do not know what is wrong with you. The new EP will drop on June 14th. With two powerhouses coming out in June this looks like a great month for Hip-Hop and music in general.

  • IMA-ONE creates a Robot Robinson

    John Robinson delivers fierce lyrics to any track he spits on. Now he has teamed up with Robot Koch to transform into Robot Robinson. Their sound is a mash up of Hip-Hop and Electronic music to nicely combine the genres. Robot Robinson did not stop with their sound scape and injected it into their artwork with the help of IMA-ONE. IMA-ONE is a graphical genius from the land of Japan and gives his own unique spin on their concept. If you check out The John Robinson Project website you can see sketches of the art below and the album cover with the final project also.
