Lil Crazed Says to “Take My Hand” [MV]
Lil Crazed releases the MV to a sobering dedication song about the passing of his cousin called “Take My Hand”. There’s nothing fancy here, just raw expression and that’s probably for the best. The heartfelt track is a part of his Equilibrium EP album that dropped last year. Check below for Crazed’s explanation of the track along with the lyrics after the break.
My cousin passed away 6 years ago today. He was the first person to ever tell me that I have a chance with my music career even though I sounded like sh*t back then. The point was, he believed in me if I believed in myself. Thank you, Slim. You helped me turned a dream into reality. I love you. See you when I get there.
The lyrics are originally from a different song I did back in 2006 titled “Can’t Wait To See You” but I decided that the lyrics were too strong to just throw on a sampled track. I ended up re-recording the lyrics with Mike Kalombo in his studio in 2008 and released it on my “Equilibrium” EP that dropped last year.
The Yellow Boyz Debut the MV for “Oh Nuna You”
The Yellow Boyz have been on their grind overseas in Korea, dropping the Gyopo Mixtape and now the MV for “Oh Nuna You” off of said release. This is a remix of the classic Biz Markie song “Just a Friend”. There’s a lot of Korean references here but the main thing you need to know is that a “nuna” is a respectful way to address a woman or female relative a older than you. A “dongseng” is what the the older person would call the younger friend. Same concept as the original, slightly different context.
Listen to “That’s You” by Jesse Barrera
As Jesse Barrera continues to prepare his upcoming EP, he’s just shared a short acoustic song entitled “That’s You”. The simplicity of the song and it’s lyrics is one of it’s greatest strengths. I have no idea if this will find it’s way to a studio version but if so, I hope he considers laying it down in a similar fashion. If you want to sing along, you can find the lyrics after the break!
Dumbfoundead Drops the MV for “Are We There Yet”
It’s finally arrived. Dumbfoundead just dropped what could be his most personal track yet, and it juts may be be his personal best too. “Are We There Yet” has DFD retracing his footsteps in life in an effort to reconcile the journey with the destination. This is the first single off the upcoming LP due soon. Great production values all around. I think you’re gonna like this one.
