Shoutout to my Port City brethren, MindsOne, for the release of their second joint off of their album, Self Reliance. As expected, this joint is a banger. Here is the info:
MindsOne has released their follow up single from the critically acclaimed album “Self Reliance” on Soulspazm Records. ‘Break’, produced by Low Budget’s own Kev Brown, serves as an ode to rhythm. While MindsOne crew Emcees Tronic and KON Sci detail crowd motivation and movement, DJ Noumenon sets up a platform for the technical DJ work which is strategically placed throughout the course of the song. Fellow scratch masters Rob Swift (the X-Ecutioners), DJ Excess (Ned Hoddings), J Smoke and DJ Spictakular (the Allies) display an array of precise cutlery which justify their places as highly respected DJs in the international scratch community.
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…
MindsOne killed the A3C this year, and were even named one of the Top 10 live shows of the festival. I took this footage with my Flip Cam, so sorry if it’s kinda shaky and not in HD.
It was a dope party all weekend long, so if you missed the A3C over the last few years, make sure you go in 2011. It’s well worth the trip…
Check out this free mix that MindsOne put out before the release of Self Reliance. This is a compilation of new & old music, some of it hard to find, all of it bangers. Check out track #20. It’s the joint that was later featured on my EP, Everything Is Impossible. You can download it for FREE here. Layout by yours truly…
