Embeds allowing bloggers to easily embed videos from Distrify. Just go to any Distrify film page or player and copy the URL. Paste that URL in any WordPress blog and it will automatically be converted to an embedded Distrify player. If you are logged in to distrify.com it will automatically add your affiliate tracking code to your embeds. Make sure you turn on Auto-embeds in your WP settings and also make sure that the URL is on its own line and not hyperlinked (clickable when viewing the post). The plugin also extracts the still image from the film and saves it as the Featured Image for the post. This actually works for any Embed (not just Distrify) that you embed into your WordPress blog.

Instant classic Hip Hop duo The Other Guys sync up with Von Pea and Donwill of Tanya Morgan for the offical video of their latest single, Blow My Mind. The track is one of 13 from their upcoming HiPNOTT Records debut album titled Seeds of Ambition. Production credit by The Other Guys. Blow My Mind has Isaiah verbally sparing with Von Pea and Donwill over mellow fellow beats, making the track sound effortless and giving listeners a glimpse of what’s to come on the forthcoming album.

Seeds of Ambition drops July 15th courtesy of HiPNOTT Records. You can Pre-order the album now via iTunes (mp3) and Bandcamp (Compact Disc). I’m crying foul ’cause there isn’t an 8-track format. However, all digital Pre-orders made through iTunes and Bandcamp will receive an immediate digital download of the first single, Blow My Mind. Peace.

The Other Guys, Seeds Of Ambition, Tracklisting:

01. Who We Are
02. Memories (feat. yU & Substantial)
03. So Cruel
04. 15 Cents
05. Blow My Mind (feat. Tanya Morgan) 03:39
06. Dream Chaser (Interlude)
07. Turn The Lights Out
08. P.G. Lights (feat. NikaBea)
09. Reflecting
10. Struggle Raps
11. Out The Basement
12. Unstoppable
13. Outro

Those most elegant practitioners of the old school rap The Other Guys hit the road runnin’ with the brand new single Memories Fade. However, this time out the Washington, D.C. based duo team up with Mello Music Group’s yU (of Diamond District) and Substantial. The first single Memories Fade is taken from their forthcoming The Opposite of Sex EP, it drops September 10th. Dig it. Peace.

A duet of voices twisting like damp sheets and tendrils of cigarette smoke.

Washington D.C.-based project GEMS is Clifford John Usher and Lindsay Pitts. And theirs is a sound piled high with all the angel’s breath heaven could spare and the hollow bird bones of a light feathered durable ambiance. The song “All I Ever,” reminds me of something from the Cocteau Twins of yesteryear. Not a literal comparison mind you, but there is a similar vibe and ethereal aspect nonetheless. Peace.

Lyrics:

sun on the rise
for the last time if I end this right
gone in the dark
where I lost myself and lost the fight

you’re telling me you want to die
but you won’t look me in the eye
so I don’t know what happens now
you’re far away somehow

all I ever wanted was you
all I ever wanted was you
all I ever wanted was you
but now I fear I’m split in two

nowhere to go
so I wrap myself in shadow
more than you know
I have seen that lonely dead-end road

all I ever wanted was you
all I ever wanted was you
all I ever wanted was you
but now I fear I’m split in two

too much to bear…

Credits:
Released 03 December 2012
Written and recorded by GEMS
GEMS is Lindsay Pitts and Clifford John
Additional percussion by Sean McVey

The Other Guys kick it old school and that’s good enough for me. They take an old format and make it fresh again, imbuing each track with creativity and stellar production. I caught up the dynamic duo Mighty Joe and Gnormen Insanate Baites of TOG to talk about the new release Joe & Insanate’s Excellent LP.

DD. First of all congrats on the new album. I’ve listened to it and of course I love it. Like the previous album The Geeks Shall Inherit The Earth it is filled to the brim with good music, and it all harkens back to the heyday of Hip Hop. But this isn’t just old school rap, it is also the perfection of an art form.

DD: With the new album was there a different objective when approaching the latest LP?

TOG: We tried to make sure that we took into account the songs people really liked. Other than that, we created music like we always do and simply tried to perfect our craft.

DD: Any favorite tracks?

TOG: We’re sure other artists have said it before but we really don’t have a favorite track. Asking us to pick our favorite track is like asking a parent to pick their favorite child. We love all of them equally but for different reasons.

DD: When you wake up in the morning, what is the first sound you want to hear?

TOG: We want to wake up to the sound of someone saying “The new album is doing even better than the last album fellas”. If we can get to that point we’d both be even happier guys.

DD: If the new album could be a color what color would it be?

TOG: It would be black cause black consists of all colors and we’d like to think the album represents every color and not just one.

DD: Any live sets scheduled for the summer?

TOG: No lives shows scheduled at the moment but its early and we’re looking forward to everything the summer has to offer.

DD: Thanks so much. The best of the best and much success for Joe & Insanate’s Excellent LP. Peace.

Got to love music that makes you want to jump around, right? Anna Rozzi, Brock Boss, Patrick Kigongo and Ken Quam somehow get it right when it comes to doing just that in the form of Ra Ra Rasputin. This quartet has built an album designed to make you smile and shimmy the day (and night) away. If you have an affinity for FM Belfast then you’ll love Ra Ra Rasputin just fine. Peace.
