KPL TV THE REC ROOM: INTRODUCING BEN KARTWRIGHT (VIDEO)

KPL TV REC ROOM - Introducing Ben Kartwright from KPL TV on Vimeo.

I dropped a few episodes of the "Rec Room" this year and there will be more to come this next year indeed.  As a sort of year in review check out this video.  Though it was just posted the other day this is actually the first video shot in the Rec Room and it spawned the idea.  This video was to introduce the world to Ben Kartwright, part of the Great Wall crew (Diz Gibran, Pac Div, Bleu Collar, B. Kartwright).  L.A. hip hop with plenty of bars, enjoy.

DIZ GIBRAN - THE GREATNESS f. PAC DIV & KARTWRIGHT

Tuesdays the last few weeks have been very good for the West Coast.  Last week we got the LAUSD project, this week UNI's A Love Supreme, and next Tuesday we get Diz Gibran's anticipated project: Soon You'll Understand.  The project is produced entirely by Moonshine and is presented to you by Crooks & Castles.  Click on the image above to catch the track listing.  As a heads up for the dopeness you'll be able to download next week, Diz is leaking one more track to the masses...entitled The Greatness.  Diz teams up with some friends from the Great Wall, Pacific Division and Kartwright, so you know the bars are on point.  So download The Greatness and get ready for APRIL 7TH - SOON YOU'LL UNDERSTAND!!!  The Imeem stream will be up tomorrow.  I'll be at the private release party but you can catch up with Diz and I next week at the Viper Room wit Bleu Collar & TiRon.  Be there!!!

The Greatness f. Pacific Division & Kartwright

THROWBACK THURSDAY pt. 1

So this ain't quite early 90's videos as many of my FCC bro's have laced ya'll with...but this is my own spin on the FCC tradition. This video is only from 2006 but it features 2 of L.A.'s underground celebrities. They were one of the first independent cats to shoot their own video. Basik (aka the Mayor) and Reese 1 were like a west coast Outkast with their contrasting styles that made for a great balance nonetheless. If you pay attention you will catch cameos of Kartwright, Diz Gibran & if you're quick...a young Pacific Division. The video was crisp...but all I could upload was my iTunes version so I don't know how clean it will translate here. UPDATE: This was directed by Jerome D and Executive Produced by Eazee Street loyalist Danny Williams. Shot all over the city in just one day. This was good time management. Oh and here's the audio if you're feeling it...

Keep On Lovin' Me - Bleu Collar

THE GREAT WALL POST - NEW MUSIC

So i was going to post this pic with this song, but..................

I saw this pic on NahRight after i started my post and saw that this was done by Mei Ling, who is LA based..so I had to give her some shine. This is the Great Wall post because it features new tracks from 3 members of that collective. I was with 3 other members last night...tell you about that a lil later. For now, peep Diz's new track for "Number 44".

Black Emperor - Diz Gibran

Basik of Bleu Collar fame, that's right the Mayor of Ladera Beach, just finished up a new one. Dropped to me c/o VG4081 aka VainGlory. Word is this gem was recorded at VG's home studio where many other tracks from the likes of Reese 1 (Him 1979 v.1), Pac Div, Diz Gibran and more are recorded, mixed and mastered. We'll highlight the spot soon, trust dat!!!!!!!!

Full Figured (prod. by Eligh) - Basik (of Bleu Collar)

Kartwright drops a new one featuring Basik of Bleu Collar, and produced by C.O.S. And I've heard some tracks by C.O.S., he gets busy. Props to VG4081 once again.

Now Let's Go - Kartwright f. Basik
