Cantrell – “Fo Five” (Prod. By MiSCHIEF BOY x Rahki) [Video]
January 31, 2019
Sh!t get scary like Freddy, no Fab 5.
Riding out to a nice beat, we get more of Cantrell to help bring in 2019 the right way with this one.
Following the release of his debut EP Stardust 2 Angels, Cantrell returns with a brand new video for “Fo Five†to kick off the year.
Directed by OPN SZN, “Fo Five†begins with a young man that is ostracized by his peers on the basketball court due to his ragged appearance. After a chance encounter, the Albany-native finds himself providing a helping hand and some much-needed guidance. The video is reflective of a culture dominated by material possessions rather than the person who sports them.

You know how Rhythm Roulette goes… goes to local record store, searches endless stacks of wax blindfolded, picks three and makes a beat from them. But in this episode, Mass Appeal Media has producer Oh No throwing in a curve ball… rather than find samples out of old vinyls, he samples sounds from three Nintendo 64 video games. Wowwww!

Behind The Scenes: Nas – “Represent” (Video)
July 16, 2014
There’s a YouTube studios? Hmm. Well, what’s really cool is the dopeness that’s about to come out of there. Apparently, they reviewed more than eighty finalists’ video treatments to pick one worthy director’s entry…to do a video for the single off Nas’ “Illmatic” entitled “Represent.” It’s been 20 years, but rather than dwell on what took so long, join us in anticipating how this is so right for Hip-Hop. Check out the behind-the-scenes vid above. And you can pick up Nas’ “Illmatic XX” via the link below.
