THIS SATURDAY: BE AT @BROKECHELLA

It's been a minute since Eazee Street went to an event featuring plenty of LIVE performances from the LA Homies. I'm talking about artists that have been down with the site for years now like Shawn Chrystopher, Mann, El Prez, Raven Sorvino, BEeFF, Coolroy, Hugh Augustine and of course Eazee Street's resident artist Chris Focus. So come through and watch all my folks and more. There will be more than hip-hop at this event so get ready to hang out all day and night and enjoy music, art and more. I mean it's not like you're going to be at Coachella [who goes to that shit?]

CHRIS FOCUS - THANK YOU [VIDEO]

Coming off the heels of a birthday celebration weekend, Chris Focus wanted to take a timeout to not only thank those who celebrated but to acknowledge all those who have been supporting his music as well. But don't trip, he has enough 'gratitude' for the negative people that try to find ways into his life too. Chris Focus uses his track "Thank You" as a visual dedication to them.

The video was filmed and directed by Redeux and the full audio of "Thank You" can be found on Boarding Pass, available for FREE download HERE.

CHRIS FOCUS - BOARDING PASS [ALBUM DOWNLOAD]

Today Eazee Street's resident artist drops his long awaited debut project Boarding Pass. On the heels of releasing the first single/video "Fresh '85" last Friday, Chris Focus releases the full 15 track project. Boarding Pass is presented by Eazee Street and Ashley Outrageous and features all original production from Thadxeus White. The project's only features are vocalists as Chris Focus, known for his features, felt it important to give the public just him on the first project. Boarding Pass is put out by Chris Focus' own imprint: FlipSide Music Group and is available for FREE DOWNLOAD via his website, www.FocusOnChris.com. Be ready for more music and videos as we enter 2013.
