The Kollaboration DC 2011 Contestants Release Promo MV

Wow, nearly one year has already passed since the maiden launch of Kollaboration in the nation’s capital. Let me tell you first hand, it was quite the show and experience last year and one I highly recommend you check out now that it’s in it’s second year. If you’re anywhere near the DMV, then do not miss out! The show will be held at UDC on September 17th, just a few short weeks away. Additional information can be found at the FB event page, at the Kollab DC website, and after the break. Jen Kwok is slated to host with a number of guest performers including Sickboi and last year’s winner, Chip Han!

Check out above for the promo MV they put together. I gotta say, they have come up with a pretty great medley and thankfully it’s available as a free MP3 dl via the widget below.

Jen Kwok x DANakaDAN Release “That Thang” MV

Comedian/recoding artist Jen Kwok has a new music video out that continues in her signature style of over-the-top awkward humor. What makes this MV a little different is that she’s enlisted the help of afterschoolspecial frontman DANakaDAN. The song is a mixture of rap, song, and … the bizarre. Some people find Jen Kwok to be hilarious, I myself find her more mildly humorous but you gotta appreciate her commitment to her craft. If you’re interested in a free DL of the song you can e-mail info@afterschoolspecialmusic.com with “THAT THANG” in subject line.
