KOLD HEAT | BRING IT TO YA CITY - Official Trailer

Kings Konekted - Good Blood and Handshakes | Repertoire Strong

I was very grateful to be given the opportunity to work on the lead clip for Kings Konekted, debut EP 'The Campaign'. Dontez and Culprit came to me with concept Splitting Good Blood and Handshakes and then jumping off to Culprits verse taken from 'Reportouire Strong'. All of the legwork was done from the boys from sorting out the story edits, locations, extras. Shit made my job a hell of a lot easier.
A few days work filming and a good chunk of hrs editing offline with minimal money spent on hire equipment, here's the end result. I think everyone involved is pretty damn happy with how it turned out and the purposed it's served to jump off the EP.

Copies available via Run Royal and cu through Class A Records. You miss this then you motherfucking played yourself like a fool.

Gaz Hazard - Hazardous to ya Health

RUNROYAL.COM in association with Cool Rad Skills presents
GAZ HAZARD
HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH

Men who have actually lived the reality of their lyrics are currently few and far between within the scope of Australian hip-hop. Look outside that scope for a moment and you’ll find a man who has lived the harsh realities of which he speaks, that man is Gaz Hazard.


Hailing from Brisbane’s south side Gaz Hazard was a founding member of underground rap group CRS (Cool, Rad, Skills or Cunt Rap Syndicate). CRS garnered cult-like support in the mid to late 2000’s following the release of the crew’s debut album, Gully Down Crooks. Known for their rowdiness and a “back to basics” approach the Cunt Rap Syndicate have finally reopened their doors and are preparing the first full-length release from one of their most promising MC’s, Gaz Hazard’s Hazardous To Ya Health.


Hazardous To Ya Health see’s Gaz trawling through a lifetime of memories from the opposite side of the law, a vantage point from which very few local MC’s can truly speak.  The album features the remarkable talents of fellow miscreant DJ Lopsided (750 Rebels) who not only holds down all the cuts but also provides production on six of the albums eighteen tracks. Strong features also come from fellow CRS members Pors 1 and Servo who provide five verses and nine stellar beats respectively.
The title track also marks the first single off the album. Produced by Nick1 (Verbill, Billy Bunks) “Hazardous To Ya Health” see’s Gaz reliving the harrowing experience of chronic drug addiction and the eventual overdose that almost took his life.
Gaz also found time to hook up with close mates the 750 Rebels and Hired Goons. Ken Oath, Billy Bunks, Bigfoot and Jake Biz all pop in and speak there piece while close friend and like minded associate Tornts (whom Gaz occasionally provides hype-man duties for) provides two beats and a blistering guest spot on one of the album’s many highlights, “Terrorcell”.


Hazardous To Ya Health is an amazingly honest and well constructed debut from an established MC who has seen more than most, the reality of which will never be lost on the listener. At times confronting, Gaz’s truths aren’t without levity, an album that can bounce from tales of crime and south-suburban life to cold braggadocio.
Hazardous To Ya Health is an absolute must for any self –respecting fan of that REAL raw underground rap….


Welcome to the life and crimes of Gaz Hazard.

It’s been many years in the brewing, now finally Brisbane underground hip hop legend Jake Biz’s debut album Commercial Hell is ready for the tasting. Riding off the back of his highly successful debut single, “Deuce Deuce”, Commercial Hell is set for national release on Karsniogenics through Obese Records Distribution on May 18, 2012.

Commercial Hell was produced by Jake Biz’s long time friend and fellow 750 Rebel Overproof Pete –aka Brookes Cullings and features valuable contributions by crew members and old mates including the legendary Lazy Grey, DJ Lopsided, Bigfoot, Tornts, Ken Oath and Fluent Form.

Commercial Hell is a self-­‐assured rap album without pretense, born out of a love and knowledge of the rap classics of years gone by and the south side working class suburbs of Brisbane. It is the antithesis of every record attempting to cross into the mainstream and whilst it may appear quite a confrontational album upon first listen, it plays out as more a tongue (firmly planted) in cheek observation of Australia’s hip hop scene in its current state.

“The title track itself addresses the “Australian Idol” mentality of many local rappers who search for fame and acclaim without investing time and genuine passion into their craft,” explains Jake Biz. “It also blatantly hints at the role commercial radio has been playing in pushing these stereotypical “paint by numbers” MC’s while completely ignoring far more deserving veteran underground artists.” The production techniques of Overproof Pete seamlessly blend with the Biz’s vocal style in a combination born of many years shared experiences.

“Having known Peter for so long, growing up together and entering the rap game together, no one else could’ve provided and crafted the sonic landscape for my raps,” says Biz. “Having Proof produce the entire record was a no brainer. We both share similar views on life and the same general goal and vision for street level rap music coming out of this country.” Jake Biz is rightfully proud of his debut long player and the blood, sweat and biff that have gone into molding every aspect of the final work. “Weeks of deliberation went into the eventual track listing while three and half years were spent in the studio attempting to hone both sound and substance,” Biz concludes.

“This is an ALBUM not a collection of tracks. We've attempted to craft something classic in the tradition of those albums that came before it and those albums that’ll be considered timeless ten years from now.”

Large Professor - Professor @ Large

Ya'll ready know what time it is!! It's Xtra P time bitch, case you don't know!

"There’s a lot to be learned from Large Professor – how to produce, how to rhyme, how to cultivate new talent, how to stay creative and consistent for decades. The passing years only increase his legendary status – as a major collaborator with Main Source, Nas, A Tribe Called Quest, Kool G Rap & DJ Polo, etc. – while re-confirming his originality with each new project. So what’s on the syllabus for the Professor’s latest class? In his own words: “taking it back to the B-boy uprock style.”



His latest masterwork Professor @ Large drops June 26 on Fat Beats Records. Large’s impeccable craftsmanship shines on each of the 15 songs, many of them at upbeat park jam tempos. Whether he’s spitting hard with MOP’s Lil Fame, dropping an ill instrumental, or casting his wizened gaze out of the kaleidoscopic cover art, Large Pro is always smooth, on point and uniquely himself.


In addition to Lil Fame, the album features a connoisseur’s selection of fine MCs: Busta Rhymes reminiscing in double-time on “Straight from the Golden”; Cormega and Tragedy Khaddafi bringing the streets on “Focused Up”; Mic Geronimo and Grand Daddy IU keeping cool on “Mack Don Illz”; and Cormega, Saigon, Roc Marciano and Action Bronson comprising the stunning “M.A.R.S” – easily the best posse cut of 2012. In a classy move, Large Pro gives Marco Polo the album’s only production guest spot on the title track."

Iron Man Composer Sues

This is some bull shit right here. Check the article below sourced from AllHipHop.com

The man who composed the original 1966 theme to “Iron Man” has filed a lawsuit against Ghostface Killah, Razor Sharp Records and Sony Records, claiming they illegally used his “Iron Man Theme” on Ghost's 2000 album Supreme Clientele. Songwriter Jaques "Jack" Urbont filed the lawsuit on June 30th, in United States District Court, Southern District of New York.

Urbont is the legal and beneficial owner of an undivided interest in the original copyrighted musical composition and sound recording for the theme for the “Iron Man Theme” and the music from the 1966 television show.

Urbont is a world-renowned songwriter, who has composed, orchestrated and conducted music for episodes of TV shows like “Mission Impossible,” “Mannix,” and others.Additionally, Urbont composed the themes and lyrics for “The Guiding Light,” “One Life to Live,” “General Hospital,” and the TV representations of “Iron Man,” “Captain America,” “Hulk,” “Submariner,” and “Thor.”He also has composer credits for TV shows like “All My Children,” “That 70s Show,” “Oprah,” “Rosie,” “20/20, and “The View.”

Urbont has also worked with artists like Sammy Davis Jr., Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, George Burns and others.Urbont claims that he owns the exclusive rights to the “Iron Man Theme,” and that Ghostface Killah, Sony, and RZA have been using his work, resulting in substantial revenue for Ghostface.

Ghost, born Dennis Coles, debuted in 1996 with his album Iron Man.Since then, has been using the "Tony Starks/Iron Man" moniker, in addition to his original name of Ghostface Killah. The lawsuit claims that in addition to illegally using the “Iron Man Theme” on the album Supreme Clientele, the usage of the name "Tony Starks" is also infringing upon Urbont's copyrights.“Urbont is over 80 years old and would not normally encounter the defendants rap music in the ordinary course of his dealings in the music industry or otherwise,” Urbont's lawyers said.

“The defendants fraudulently concealed their use of the 'Iron Man Theme' on Supreme Clientele," the lawsuit reads. "For instance the liner notes of Supreme Clientele do not give any indication that Urbont's sound recording or compositions are contained on the album.”

The lawsuit claims that Ghostface's usage of the nickname “Tony Starks" gives the rapper a substantial commercial advantage, by linking him to "Iron Man" without having to pay for it.

Urbont seeks millions in damages.
