New Post on CRAYONBEATS: Equipto & Otayo Dubb - "Yuk The World" video

Click the link to read more: http://www.crayonbeats.com/equipto-otayo-dubb-yuk-the-world-video/

(@tayodubb @equipto) From their collaborative Baby Steps album, released mid-last year, California emcees Equipto and Otayo Dubb dropped a music video for the song "Yuk The World". Produced by Bean One, the song finds the two rapping about ignoring propaganda while acknowledging the real positive contributions, standing up for what's right, and celebrating life's good moments, even through adversity and the bad times. "Life's a struggle, yet I still laugh // Can you feel that?" The video was filmed by Bambu, at a Free Breakfast event put together by the duo, at The Black & Brown Social Club. Watch the video below, and then check the maxi single below, which comes with a Digital Martyrs remix (free downloads on Soundcloud).

New Post on CRAYONBEATS: Adeem - "Looking For A Window" (ft Blueprint) video

(@adamisadeem) New Hampshire emcee Adeem, whom some might be more familiar with through his hip hop group Glue, has just released a brand new song, called "Looking For A Window". This was a bit exciting for me to come across, seeing as how it's been quite some time since I've heard/seen his name--I think the last time that I saw his name somewhere was on a Mike Relm song in '08 (and before that, it was the Catch As Catch Can Glue album). He's been gone for a long time, but not forgotten...and I sure am happy to see him back.

New Post on CRAYONBEATS: Raquel Rodriguez - "Don't Be Afraid" live video

Click the link to read more: http://www.crayonbeats.com/raquel-rodriguez-dont-be-afraid-live-video/

(@rqlrod) Los Angeles singer Raquel Rodriguez dropped a brand new live video the other day that I wanted to share. Recorded at the Blue Dream Studios, she performed previously unreleased (I think) song, called "Don't Be Afraid". It's an intimate song that finds her telling someone to let go of their fears of falling in love (with her). Complimenting both her live band and her sweet pop-soul voice, it's a beautiful song. I've missed hearing Raquel Rodriguez's music, so I'm glad that this popped up in my inbox. Video filmed and edited by Giovanni Solis. Check it out, and don't be afraid to want her... music in your life!

New Post on CRAYONBEATS: Ripsy May - "Black Wine" video

Click the link to read more: http://www.crayonbeats.com/ripsy-may-black-wine-video/

(@_ripsymay) I stumbled upon this Ripsy May song when I was listening to music on JONES' Soundcloud page, as it was one of the recommended songs. Immediately pulled in by the "da-da-da-da"'s vocals posing as a catchy beat, it wasn't until I heard the Los Angeles-based singer's cool, jazzy vocals drag out along the ambient Vud-produced electronic beat led by mellow drums, haunting vocal arrangements, and a sweeping breeze. So hypnotic and lovely, especially with such strong, thought-provoking lyrics that are rooted in media manipulation and racial divide.

(@iseejones) London singer JONES covered Royce Wood Junior's "Valentine Virus", turning it into a beautiful acoustic pop rendition where her heavenly voice hovers above the melodic guitar tune. Perfect listen for all of those in love.

New Post on CRAYONBEATS: Tour Necessities Q&A: Gajah on West Coast Halfway tour

Click the link to read more: http://www.crayonbeats.com/tour-necessities-qa-gajah-on-west-coast-halfway-tour/

(@gajahmatik) First, let me say that Los Angeles-based emcee Gajah is not a stranger to CrayonBeats. Second, let me introduce you, in case you aren't familiar with his work. Gajah jumped into the hip hop scene sometime in the early 90's with a couple of rap groups, until he became the founding member of the long-standing, two-man hip hop group, Acid Reign (with BeOnd), who eventually earned their stripes with Project Blowed. As a group, they've released a handful of projects, worked with a ton of West Coast underground hip hop legends, have started their own label (Acid Lab Records), and have had countless performances. As a solo act, though, Gajah has released nearly 10 outstanding projects (some of which we've talked about here), performed all throughout the West Coast, and has worked with various hip hop artists (such as Open Mike Eagle, Uncommon Nasa, Abstract Rude, The Kleenrz, Duke Westlake, Graves33, Atari Blitzkrieg, Ceschi, Tommy V, Ellay Khule, Mute Speaker, and more).
