Ok so this is only my second blog ever so bear with me if I am slightly without a main point. Things can begin slow and take a leap forward when things start to feel comfortable. I will most likely be feeling that comfort soon but as for now I have decided to just follow my gut and enjoy the rantings.
As an artist it helps to be proud of the things that you are involving yourself in, and there is something that is coming that I am super proud to be a part of: the latest collaborative hip hop effort from local legends BlesInfinite (2Bers), Epic Beats (Bandwidth No Name – BNN, The SuperHumans), Akword Actwrite (Soul Soup) and myself Nick Furious (BNN, The SuperHumans) is known as Golden Age Hip Hop. We are a collective of lyricists and producers who were greatly inspired and influenced by the music of hip hop circa mid 1990’s. Anyone who knows anything about hip hop culture knows that the 90’s were the heyday for superior hip hop music quality and content. Golden Age seeks to reconnect that special bond we all have to that boom bap style and the respect we have for that era and generation. This upcoming project will take you back while still making you think intellectually about the issues of today.
Scratch & Sniff
If you would like to scratch the surface of this project and see what we have been up to then
there are several places one can visit to see our work in the first stages. Peep out a few of our tracks at http://www.soundcloud.com/goldenagehiphop
Check out our first ever single “Get Down,”
and fall in love with the vibe. This was our first single and will be a guaranteed favorite on the album.
Our song “Justice” features bay area legend L*Roneous and is a testament to the powers that be. This video is a masterpiece of color and light and the track, beat by PerC Wells, is the stuff legends are made of. Directed by Mario Rivera and brought to life by the amazing community we live in.
Our second single which features local staples Def-I and Soy is one of those songs that is all about nodding your head and enjoying the content. That can be heard here:
After this project coming together so seamlessly and easy it was an indicator that we should be proud of what came out of the creative process. It feels great to believe in what you do as an artist but when you really get juiced over it is something special indeed. Golden Age is redefining the age old definition of great music and evolutionary and inspiring content. Go and make it a GA day yall. The first album, due out this spring, is entitled The Pantheon.
