dumbfoundead interview w/ ChannelAPA

ChannelAPA sits down w/ dumbfoundead and discuss a lot of cool topics like how he started w/ music, what goes through his mind while battling, and how his music videos are put together. A good watch for any fan of dumb.

Also of note, look for that Rapper O’s tee to go on sale end of Nov/early Dec.

Jin to Return to the Battle Circuit & Debut on Grind Time!

Check it, if you’ve been following the noise on the web the past 24 hrs you’d know that rumors were heating up about Jin making his return to the rap battle scene, specfically Grind Time.

Yesterday, I first saw this tweet from dumbfounded saying:

Just got an email from Jin with a video attached that involves grind time, haven’t seen it yet cause I’m on the road but stay tuned

Then this morning I wake up and see this headline on AR about how Dizaster is calling out Jin:

So what happens next? Jin posts up a response to youtube!

He’s accepted the challenge given three conditions:

  1. The Battle’s gotta be in LA
  2. Unlimited time rounds
  3. He gets to battle Illmaculate on the same day

If this happens, looks like it’s going down in November. We’ll keep you updated! Remember, you read it first at a-Tunes!

Kristine Sa Releases MV for ‘Nobody’

Kristine Sa is sharing a very personal song/mv called Nobody. Check the description from her blog (wow people are still on Xanga?):

Dear readers,
Above are the lyrics to “Nobody” which I wrote a few months ago. These lyrics were originally part of a journey entry.  It means to the world to me to be able to release a song without an agenda.  I wrote this in one night.  Passed it over to my friend, musician Tony T. Nguyen for his take on the arrangement.  When the music came back to me, this demo version was recorded and mixed in one night.  I had thought about going back and tweaking the vocals, the mix, etc.  But I didn’t.  This little video was filmed in a one day on location in Malibu, CA.  And was edited in one memorizing, lonely night.  I meant to do the whole thing only to be shared online for free with you.  And it feels wonderful to be able to do so.  I thank you for being connected.  I thank God for the creative outlets.  And I thank the following people for lending a helping hand in this little song and video:  chi Tam Doan, anh Tien Dung, Tony T. Nguyen, Johnny “JP” Phan, anh Matt Dung Nguyen, & Andy La.  Last but not least, may I dedicate this song to anyone who’s ever felt alone, in sharing this song with you, I am less lonely and I thank you for that.

It’s a slow, emotional, but beautiful song. The MV is a tad on the dull side but it thematically fits the song well.

Tell me something we don’t already know about you.
I just dyed my hair honey blonde. My favorite thing in the world is food. I’m ticklish. My dad is 1/4 Caucasian. I had a brother who passed away before I was born. I have 2 true BFFs. I have a boyfriend who loves me. I hit and run the first time I ever drove. I love big cars. I want to get signed this year.

If you’re too lazy to hit up WWS for the rest then you can find the interview after the jump!
