Brenan x Thai Release the “Superstar” MV
If you’re looking for an easy R&B/Pop jam to start off your week, “Superstar” may be a good track to check out. The Brenan song features Thai of 454 fame on a radio friendly single with a video produced by 454 Films. The single actually dropped at the tail end of Summer but this is the official release of it’s accompanying music video. Like what you hear? You can purchase the single via the links below.
The Youtube Rap Remix Round-Up – 10/26/11
Mid-week hump… why don’t we have another Youtube round-up! Today’s theme is “rap remix”, so all of the following are beats that our rappers decided to flip and use for their own purposes. Nothing wrong with that, just as long as you recognize it’s not a completely organic offering. The first two in our collection are placed as such because they have, by far, the best production values among the group. Thai’s in particular, is up to 454′s usual impeccable visual standards. But don’t sleep on Miss TLu of On Fire, the girl shows promise. The rest of the gang include a collab by Toestah & Jen Chung, LA’s 3Strykes representing too, Lil Crazed with a little spin-off of MGK, DUKE keeping things fun with a LMFAO joint and Verse rounding out the pack. Lot’s of Jay-Z x Kanye beats in here, I guess they are a crowd favorite.

Thai Flys Out the “Broken Wings” MV
Earlier in the summer, Thai & 454 released a strong song called “Broken Wings” featuring Liz Stefano. They are now following up with a proper music video to promote it with, one that matches the track fairly well – especially the various shot locations. The only downside is that Liz doesn’t make an appearance in the video. You can chalk up another sharp looking release from the 454 crew. In general, we’ve seen a number of well produced MVs in the past 24 hours.
Thai of 454 Featured in XXL (September 2011)
It looks like D-Pryde wasn’t our only artist to get a mention in the latest (September ’11) issue of Hip-Hop mag XXL. Portland’s veteran MC, Thai (now of 454 fame), happened to find himself in the pages of the publication as well. Congrats to Thai! It’s about time his years of hard work was recognized on larger level.
The 27-year old rhymer is looking to put on for Portland, Oregon, and give a glimpse into the Asian underground lifestyle. Judging by the comments, he’s on the right path. “I don’t really remember anyone coming out of Portland, let alone a Vietnamese cat,” says DJ Skee, “with a little development behind him, I think That has potential.”
Thai Viet G Features on J.Lee’s “Khep Lai (Drifting Away)” MV
A couple weeks back we showed you the preview to 454′s international debut MV, “Khep Lai (Drifting Away)” featuring Thai. It’s a solid R&B joint though the majority is in Vietnamese so I can’t really say I understood much. Thai drops a solid verse and the MV is on point with the production values (plus the lead female isn’t too hard on the eyes). For those that are interested, the song is available as a free DL here.
454′s Thai Goes International with Feature on J.Lee’s “Khep Lai (Drifting Away)” [Preview]
Thai has a new feature coming up on Vietnamese singer J.Lee’s single & MV “Khep Lai (Drifting Away)”. It looks to be an R&B tune with some guest rap vocals from Thai and the MV will be debuting on 454′s newly minted international Youtube channel. Look for the MV to drop on that channel in the near future. Props to the crew for keeping their aspirations global and not just limited to their California home base.
Thai Explains Why You Don’t Have to Be “Alone Tonight” [Free DL]
In recognition of his fans, Thai and 454 Life have released one of his older tracks as an hold-over for those patiently awaiting his next solo album. The cut is called “Alone Tonight”, an electronic/R&B influenced rap song made especially for the females. The song does feel slightly less than current, telling of it’s age, but it’s still a fair track and it’s available as a completely free DL. It may not be as strong as “Broken Wings” but I can’t think of a reason why you shouldn’t still give it a listen.
We know a lot of our dedicated and loyal 454 Life Ent. fans are patiently waiting for the release of Thai’s new album. So until the release of the album look for 454 Life Ent. to release exclusive tracks from Thai! This one here was one of the first tracks Thai completed upon signing to 454 Life Ent. We’ve brought this one out the 454 Life Ent. Music vault. This is a way we want to Thank all of our fans for there continued support of 454 Life Ent! Enjoy!

Thai x Liz Stefano Debut with “Broken Wings” [Free DL]
454 Life Entertainment’s Thai just dropped a brand new track entitled “Broken Wings” featuring Liz Stefano on the hook. I gotta commend Thai & company for this one because this just may one of his strongest releases yet. Liz’s contribution on the chorus perfectly balances Thai’s emotional raps over a sharply produced instrumental (courtesy of their in-house producer Traxamillion). I recommend that you don’t sleep on this one. The song is available as a free DL here.
[Music Video] Thai x Jackie Chain x Philthy Rich – “How Does It Feel”
454 has brought us a cross-regional banger featuring vocals by the West’s Thai & Philthy Rich and the South’s Jackie Chain. It’s a surprisingly soulful cut called “How Does It Feel”, where the MC’s take the opportunity to get a little introspective on the mic. This may be one of my favorite songs recently released by both 454 & Jackie. You can DL it for free here.
[Music Video] Thai x Traxamillion – “The One” [Free DL]
New watch from 454′s Thai & Traxamillion for the song “The One”. We’ll update with our review later but don’t forget the song is available as a free DL here.
[Update] It’s your standard 454 fare. Crystal clear visuals and snappy editing courtesy of GINOROCKS with Thai & Trax spitting in various locales around town. The track is a good look from Thai, not straying to far from his style and content that has carried him all these years. I can dig it.
