Sha Stimuli – Wake Up & Go (Music Video)
Shouts to the homies Sha Stimuli & RH Bless in connecting for the newest video from Sha’s extensive catalog. This joint plays out like a movie with it’s crazy visuals and storyline. Then factor in Sha’s crazy lyricism, and it’s a wrap. I had the privilege of meeting Sha down in Atlanta at the A3C Fest, and dude has one of the livest shows of any hip hop artist out right now. RH Bless, who is also a talented emcee on top of doing his video production thing, is peeps with my peoples ROCCA & X3M. So stay on the lookout for both of these titans, as they continue to do big things in 2011…
Kida – iGo (Video)
Check out the final cut of the first single from Kida’s upcoming album, The Redshirt Freshman. The visuals, put together by Jerome D, are dope as hell. One of the better indie videos I have seen in a minute. Stay tuned for info on the album when it drops…
Fat Rat Da Czar – The Invitation (prod. by MidiMarc) Video
Shoutout to the homie, MidiMarc. This cat has been bubbling under the surface for quite sometime, but it won’t be for much longer before this SC producer gets his due shine. I had the honor of recording to one of his beats a couple years ago, and I am counting down the days until I get to do it again. Fat Rat Da Czar and Marc have been working together for a few, and recently released this new video for The Invitation. Make sure you check it out and support good Hip Hop…
Murs & 9th Wonder – I Used to Love H.e.r. (Again)
Murs & 9th Wonder have proven to be a formidable duo. They have released a handful of albums over the last few years, and each one seems to get better & better. Check out this video form their last offering. It’s a remake of Common’s classic. Dope visuals and dope rhymes…what else could you want?!?
Dr. Dre feat Snoop, Akon & Nate Dogg – Kush (Video)
A lot has been made about this song. Even more has been made about Detox in general. The bottom line is that it’s for sure coming out soon, and we need to embrace the Good Doctor for everything he has done in Hip Hop. Plus Snoop says my favorite line of the year, “Still I am, tighter than the pants on Will.I.Am..” Hahahaha. I have confidence that this album will be a classic. I can’t wait till I get the chance to BUY it. You should too..
MindsOne – Legion of Doom (Video)
Last August, I made my way down to Wilmington to shoot the Legion Of Doom video. Even though we hadn’t done a lot of planning for the video, I knew that it was going to turn out dope. The song was crazy, and M1 always throws down. After filming the listening party Friday night, we shot all day on Saturday. The end results were epic. I catch myself now watching the video, and thinking about how we captured such a pivotal moment in NC Hip Hop. Download the song for FREE here, or go pick Self Reliance up on iTunes…

Big K.R.I.T. – “Can’t Be All” (Video)
KRIT Wuz Here was by far my favorite release of 2010. To top it off, this joint was produced by Iluddy of Charlotte’s Black Flag Records. Check out the new video from this rising star…
Action Inc -“Party For All Types” (Video)
Shoutout to DJ Battle, and my homie Fuzz Jackson, for the first video off their new project, Action Inc. They got a bunch of dope guest appearances on their upcoming album, and it’s gonna be a banger. Check out their video with cameos from many of NC’s dopest emcees including Kaze, Jamoculus & more…
