Great Dane - "A Million Cents" / "Without You (Spooky Black Bootleg)" [MUSIC]

According to the reposts on my SoundCloud, I was introduced to the musical offerings of Great Dane over a year ago. But, for all intents and purposes, I'm considering my reintroduction to his music this week to be the official crossing of paths for my ears and his sounds.

And what a glorious encounter it has been thus far. As my friend who put me on to Great Dane so eloquently put it: "he makes really lovely, soft melodies that you can just float to and then he'll create something that's pure filth". Not much is left to be said, as she hit the nail on the head - Great Dane has a collection of music out there for your listening pleasure that covers a wide range of vibes. Again, in her words, "he definitely doesn't box himself in." As someone who tends to enjoy more ambient electronic music, with a touch of "filth" thrown in, Great Dane is/was precisely what I've been searching for.

The Fullerton-based artist has a decent catalogue of tunes available on SoundCloud, including a circa-2015 *fire emoji* mix that really encapsulates the vastness of his music. I've spent the better part of the last couple days exploring Great Dane's music and, although I've enjoyed it all, I'm using this opportunity to share two joints that stood out as my personal favorites:
 

Enjoy the tracks above and be sure to check out Great Dane's SoundCloud to experience more of his music.

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...

Abiyah - "Champion Plaque" (feat. Ceschi) [prod. Possible Address]

Some artists are adept at creating music that blends genres, the resulting product sounding unique in its own right. Others, like Abiyah and Ceschi , transcend past the mere blending of styles to offer up sonic manifestations that manage to  defy any sort of genre all together. Despite countless journalistic attempts to compartmentalize via labels, the music stands on its own foundation, blasting through the speakers free of any label or definitive denomination. This genre-less creative approach is strikingly evident with the Cincinnati-based artist's "Champion Plaque", a new single featuring Ceschi that was first imagined in 2015. The free-flowing delivery of vivid, picturesque storytelling from both artists acknowledges the saturation of inauthentic people permeating our daily lives. Abundant in subject matter that is relatable while also forcing listeners to take an uncomfortable look in the mirror, "Champion Plaque" is a call to action, tearing away at...
