Rewind: A Young ‘Kendrick Lamar’ Parties with ‘U-N-I’ & ‘Miguel’ in their “Lately” Clip (Video)
Recently I was watching one of my favorite videos “Lately” from the duo U-N-I from the West Coast. Â Well U-N-I (YO & Thurz) are no longer a group but Thurz has continued to make music as a solo artist. Â The video was refreshing it had a Cali vibe plenty of fly ladies in it and just a couple of brothers having a good time. Â The video came out in 2010 and singing the hook is a young Miguel who has went on to have big success with a new album titled “Wildheart” that will be released June 30th 2015. Â Something that stuck out to me this time when I was revisiting the video was a scene where the guys have some friends backstage partying and to my surprise I see a young baby faced Kendrick Lamar with a cameo. Â Of course he was putting out music back then and making a name on the West Coast but nothing like what he is doing now how he dominates the Hip Hop charts. Â Well enjoy this rewind video and remember you never know who might be in the background of a video will turn out to be a huge star!

Thurz (1/2 of Cali Hip-Hop duo U-N-I) performs “Colors” (featuring Krondon of the Cali-based collective Strong Arm Steady) in the music video (directed by Mister Whitmore) above. The track was produced by Ro Blvd. Niceness. Not sure if U-N-I “officially” broke up as a group at this point, but The Thurz album, “L.A. Riot,” is now available via iTunes.

Thurz (of U-N-I) – ‘Rodney King’ (Video)
Hard to believe the Rodney King verdict that caused the L.A. riots happened just 20 years ago today. For me it seems like almost yesterday. Thurz, 1/2 of of the Inglewood California rap group U-N-I , decided to deliver this at the appropriate time to remind the heads about that day in L.A. the country will never forget. THURZ is also scheduled to drop a solo album called LA Riots. TheRiotStartsHere.com
