Just ‘Cause: LX Keem’s Fan MV for Decipher x Ailee’s “Catch Me If You Can”
Dumb isn’t the only artist with creative fans that like to whip up their renditions of music videos. You may recall at the top of the year when we shared a little interlude video made by LX Keem set to Decipher & Ailee‘s “Catch Me If You Can“. Well now that De dropped The Sound Effect it’s become a lot easier to remix his last album and that’s precisely what LX did. He’s returned with a full-blown production including a newly completed remix along with a sick accompanying mash-up/machinima music video. Someone needs to book LX for their next audio & visuals.
Brian Joo to Feature IAMMEDIC, Johnnyphlo & Decipher on Tour
Brian Joo is halfway through his US mini-tour but what makes the last two show dates (in LA & NY respectively) particularly noteworthy is that he is linking up with some fellow local Asian-American talent at each stop. In the city of angels, he’ll be rocking the stage with Electro-Pop group IAMMEDIC and back on the east coast in the big apple, he’ll be joined by Decipher & Johnnyphlo. The rumor mill has been spinning that this is also likely Phlo’s last US show for some time so all the more reason for his fan’s to come through. You can find details on each individual show after the jump.
[Album Release] Decipher – The Sound Effect (The Effect Acapellas) [Free DL]
This release isn’t really geared towards the general audience but rapper Decipher has just put out The Sound Effect, the acapellas behind his well received album The Effect. You get all fourteen of the songs from the album, minus the instrumentals so all you DJ’s, producers, and mash up artists should jump on this release and share your creations with us! Maybe one of you can try to pair up these acapellas with the instrumentals from Illmind’s recent Behind the Curtain album. The Sound Effect is available as a free download via the bandcamp widget below!

[Music Video] Verseatile x Decipher – “You Can Bring It” (version 2)
Back in March, Verseatile dropped an MV for his song “You Can Bring It”, which unfortunately didn’t have guest MC Decipher in the video. V has rectified the omission by putting together a 2nd version, now including the Philly rapper. It’s the latest promo from his Worlds Apart EP, released earlier this year.
The concept behind this song is to encourage taking on challenges boldly. Decipher and I shed a little light on some of the challenges we had to overcome, which built us to be stronger for the next one. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.
[New Video] Decipher – “Smile While I Bleed” [Free DL]
It’s that new ish from Decipher, a quick little video for his remix of Kanye’s “Devil in a New Dress”. He’s rechristened the joint “Smile While I Bleed”, basically an extended verse where he takes some time to reflect and get some heavy thoughts off his chest. De’s always been that dualistic MC, weaving back and forth between punchline raps and the introspective, this release is more of the latter and it’s hard to find any faults with it. It’s a freebie up on bandcamp so go head and grab it via the widget below.

Worst Ever: NYU Freestyle Ettiquette
The freestyle cypher is a staple of Hip-Hop. It’s so ingrained in the original culture that it’s impossible to try and discredit it’s importance. But that’s not to say it’s always executed correctly. In fact, one would argue that unless the cypher is composed of veterans who can adjust and adapt to the rhythm of it all, then it’s pretty much always awkward. Such is the case in the following clip I came across in the twitter verse. Dumbfoundead recently had a show in NY and a lot of different hip-hop heads came through, including special guest Decipher. Well when it came time for an open mic cypher, too many MC’s got caught up in tryna grab their time to shine without paying attention to who’s in line to spit next. Case in point, watch Decipher get M-C-blocked numerous times. Disrespectful? Arguably, perhaps. Awkward? Completely. The art of it all is knowing when it’s your time to step up, and your time to fall back… something that mainly comes with experience.
New Decipher Music & Video – “Decipher That” [Free DL]
New drop from Philly’s Decipher. Ill have to share my thoughts later but this one is reportedly for the hip hop heads. Its also a free dl from his bandcamp via the widget below.
[edit] OK, I’ve had the chance to peep the track. First things first, this beat knocks. It’s a dope track that brings him back to his more raw Hip-Hop roots, the song is a rapper’s rap of sorts. Dope drop from MUzO and great use of the projector for the visuals.
