Hip-hop luminaries Grand Puba , Chris Lowe , Chubb Rock , and Kia Jefferies pay homage to Stēzo in the sharp new video for the single, “Check One, Two” , off the late emcee’s posthumous compilation, The Last Dance .  The video embodies the spirit of not only Stēzo but hip-hop as a culture as all four vocalists post up at different barbershops in their area. And yes, each artist chose their own shop to capture the footage, giving the visuals another layer of authenticity. It was directed by Chris Lowe , while Quanesha King (for Great Things Are Here Studios ) handled editing duties.  Check out the visuals and be sure to go support The Last Dance , available now through all major DSPs , as well as on CD and vinyl (in either classic black or translucent red ) through Blacklife Records in partnership with Fat Beats .

Hip-Hop artist Cambatta is known for his thought provoking and psychedelic-inspired rhyme techniques. His newest album entitled, “LSD” , is just as the title insinuates- mind-bending and consciousness-shifting. This album was created throughout four years of psychedelic usage and reality-based life changing events. This process has made the album a duality of both real and surreal interpretations. The album’s title is also an acronym for “Lunar Solar Duality” , alluding to the album’s dichotomy of light and dark conceptualizations and countless other polarizing and multi-entendre-latent compositions. Whether you have ever experienced LSD or not, this album is sure to impact anyone receptive and perceptive enough to take a dose. Source: Mello Music Group LSD: Lunar Solar Duality by Cambatta

Political Animals ’ new video for “Who Want What” is what happens when you take the key elements of any work of art—the music video, in this case—and completely flip them on their head. That’s due to the handiwork of director Shane McLellan . Although an album title and release date has yet to be announced, be sure to follow PACT on social media for updates. In the interim, head over to their Bandcamp page if you’d like to support their previous releases. ***Thanks to DM360 for sending*** Free MP3 Download: http://bit.ly/1TtSCKQ
