Vee Skeeno - "Stumbling" (feat. The Sloth & Jaden Castro) [prod. KingNamedTutt]


As a lifelong resident of Connecticut for the 28 years I've been here in the physical, I've got a lot of world left to experience. But I've also become very familiar with the CT music - specifically hip-hop - scene, especially over the last five or six years. For a lot of reasons (some justified, some not), the music coming from CT is pretty heavily slept on. That being said, there are a number of extremely gifted artists in this state who are dedicated to perfecting their craft and growing into themselves, both personally and artistically. 

Since I started immersing myself in CT hip-hop, three of my favorite artists based out of CT are/have been Vee Skeeno, Jaden Castro and The Sloth. So, seeing Skeeno drop a new record that features all three is no doubt a musical blessing for this blogger/fan. 

With "Stumbling", listeners get to experience how beautifully the unique style of each artist blends together with the others. For fans, this should come as no surprise - all three have been working closely together for years in some form or fashion, as The Voyagers, Funk Gero, Nu-Irth and UZOO.

"Stumbling" features production from KingNamedTutt, who provides a wavy instrumental that gives off a simultaneously chill yet energetic vibe. It suits the delivery of Skeeno, Sloth and Castro, who take turns lacing the beat with their respective verses. 

Open your mind and give a listen to "Stumbling" below.

Raz Simone - "Clout" [prod. Anthony Danza] (Video)

Fresh off the heels of another trip around the sun, Raz Simone comes through with his first visuals of 2018. In typical Raz fashion, the Black Umbrella founder holds nothing back on "Clout", addressing a myriad of subject matter with a confidently calm yet simultaneously aggressive delivery. Simone has always been one of my favorite artists to cover, thanks in large part to the layered presentation of his content. With "Clout", an essay could be composed on both the track itself and the accompanying video - while both seem almost overly simple upon first glance/listen, the song and video cover a lot of ground over the course of five and a half minutes. The visuals are split between two backdrops - Raz being "studied" in a research facility and Raz rapping in the street. The vibe of the production on "Clout" syncs up perfectly with the dreary, simple visual of Simone in the rainy streets...appropriately carrying a black umbrella. It's...

Raz Simone - "Jose" (feat. Anthony Danza) [prod. Paul Judge] (Video)

If the last couple weeks are any indication, it would appear safe to presume the Black Umbrella family is ready to unleash an onslaught of content upon the masses this year. It became evidently more clear when, after dropping the cinematic " Clout ", Raz Simone returned with two new videos in just about as many days.  The first release came in the form of the Paul Judge-produced "Jose", a plug-feuled anthem accompanied by another Jacob Hill-shot visual experience. Filmed on location in Guadalajara, Mexico, "Jose" showcases Simone and Anthony Danza laying their fiery verses in all the places most tourists would be unable to visit. Apparently, someone in Black Umbrella knows the plug... "To by my friend, I should make you have a wavier signed, 'Cause anytime I'm out, it could be danger, danger time" In the heart and soul of cartel country, Simone uses the video to once again reveal and put on display just how "rea...

Raz Simone - "Around The Way" (feat. B-ragg) [Video]

While we're currently here on Earth, inhabiting these physical vessels, it is each individual's responsibility to be the architect for the life they desire. As such, one has the power to actively choose to manifest and live the life they want - whether an individual chooses to thrive and live in their light or succumb to the comfortable complacency of their darkness is solely that person's decision to make. But, based on the thoughts, words and actions you consciously or subconsciously decide to put out into the Universe, the Universe will return to you exactly what you send out.  So take your power back.  Far too often, people surrender their personal power to exterior forces - be it money, relationships, jobs, environment, dis-ease, etc. Despite all the "darkness" that seems to be taking up space around the world today, we are living in extremely auspicious times. And now, perhaps more so than ever, is the time for each and every being on this plane...
