Here are a few photos to tease ya'll with from the Floss Angeles video shoot that went down last weekend.  We were all over the city and wrapped the shoot at Ladera Park.  Thanks to all those who came down to Ladera Park for the water fight and cameo scenes.  As you can see above we hung with the FCC fam as well as Bad Lucc, Mykestro and some lovely ladies.  I had a thing for lil Gabby but I kept it professional...but now that it's over, tell her to holla at me ASAP!!!  OH, when I get the pics from my camera uploaded I will have more for you.  Ek5obition, DRG and more have photos as well...I'll find a way to get them all together for you to view.  Thank E Dub for these and check out more of his pics over here.

It's Thursday again...aka Thurzday, where i provide the webspace and Thurzday supplies the video pick.   This week, Thurzday goes with Digable Planets' Rebirth of Slick aka Cool Like Dat.  This was my favorite song back in the day AND I had a thing for Ladybug (the female emcee was cute and could rock).  Good choice Thurzday, and make sure you check him and Y-O out at the Roxy tonight.

EMINEM - 3AM (TRAILER)

Posted by mr. la at 1:49 PM 0 comments

I thought it was creative and left field for Eminem to premiere this on Cinemax this saturday but after peeping the trailer...it makes more sense and doesn't seem as left field (not to be confused with less creative).  I'm looking forward to the visuals as it seems just as crazy as the track.  Check it out...if you don't have the audio then go here.

Posted by mr. la at 12:53 PM 0 comments
Met this dude through my boy Kev from Hip Hop Official last week and he came to show love at the Floss Angeles video shoot.  Well he has an EP dropping that the FCC will definitely be bringing to you first, but for now check out the leak. Props to Kev. Here is our press release on it:

If the title doesn't grab you, the message will.  The FCC presents one of L.A.'s homegrown talents, giO Basicali and his song "Fuck Pluggin That Dumb Shit."  It's an anti-hype theme, taking aim at the media outlets and government that promote lies for money.  It also knocks.  It's the first track from his upcoming EP, I Choose You, presented by Acrylick Clothing, which drops for free on May 19th.
