The 2nd installment of the ISA Breakout Performer contest results are in and it looks like Sam Ock & Lan are this years winners! (The inaugural contest was won by a little someone known as Clara Chung). This is an awesome moment for both musicians as the competition was fierce including other immensely talented artists like Esna Yoon and 2 other finalists along with 5 other semi-finalists. I’m sure it was incredibly tough to choose the winner but Sam & Lan took top honors along with the opportunity to perform at ISA LA & NY respectively. Here are the two winning videos:

Some more performance footage of the Beautiful Cycle crew has surfaced courtesy of Inspire. This track’s entitled “Move Along” by JL and features some of his entourage in form of Lyricks and DJ Zo. The track can be found on his Guaranteed Raw mixtape. The thing I’ve come to realize is that JL is a sick lyracist with a no-nonsense flow that sounds great on record but his performance energy and stage presence could use some work. He’s too reserved up there; the guy needs to let loose.

In a little bout of East vs West we have a Showdown of covers by veteran Youtubers Megan Lee & Gerald Ko against a bit of a new comer from the East – Vincent Lacsamana. The song in contention is “Count on Me” by Bruno Mars off his It’s Better If You Don’t Understand EP. Both covers made use of the acoustic guitar and are somewhat similar in style but definitely different in flavor. So whose rendition did you prefer? Megan & Gerald’s sweet, gentle charm or Vincent’s solo pop/r&b charisma? Vote!

454 Life Ent has got a DVD coming out entitled The Beginning with a ton of music videos on there (12!) for your viewing entertainment. If you’re curious as to what you may get on the DVD you’re in luck because they’ve posted a bunch of trailers for you to get an idea of what’s to come. One thing you can’t hate on is their grind. They clearly stay busy and work hard and their production values are always on point.

Sickboi is continuing his “sick sixteen” series with this 2nd freeverse entitled “Luxury”. It’s nice but I wish he turned it into a full song. It has a lot of promise to be a great complete track with verses and a hook. Anyway the video is just him in the home studio, but if you’re liking the track you can DL it for free here.
