Jobo - "Last Godz" (feat. RUDY)

There is a very legitimate aura of authenticity that encapsulates Jobo and it radiates through the music he releases. While he may have a tendency to troll with the best of them online, his energy is always real - the Bear God is never pulling punches or keeping it PC to please or comfort anyone. In today's musical climate, both locally and in the mainstream, this raw authenticity is experienced less and less frequently.

And that is why what Jobo brings to the table is important.

Despite being a fan of professional wrestling, Jobo does not grip tightly to a gimmick. He walks through life, and delivers his music, as he deems appropriate. What we get is the truest essence of who Jobo is and that becomes more apparent as he continues to grow into himself artistically.

"Last Godz" is presented in the same manner as "Warning Bite" - a visual offering a glimpse of what will live in full upon the release of Bear God EP II. Jobo provides just enough to get the viewer hooked and wanting more, while still ensuring his upcoming EP will feature unheard content that carries on the vibe cooked up with the condensed previews. By ending the video abruptly, we're left with a knowing that there is more to come. And when Jobo is ready to do it on his terms, BGEPII will be liberated.

The latest release features RUDY, who is a blessing on any track he touches. There always seems to be something a little more special when two friends link to create music, especially when they are both as talented as Jobo and RUDY are in their respective rights. "Last Godz" showcases a juxtaposition of creative abilities and styles, blending the energy of both artists together into a #toosweet final product.

"Last Godz" is blunt and abrasive, again highlighting Jobo's unique ability to attract listeners with an inviting arrogance. While many pseudo "woke" individuals are flexing on socials about eradicating their egos, Jobo is demonstrating how powerful the ego can be if one stays rooted in authenticity.

Daps and pounds to Bklyn Lo for the visual experiencing, capturing the flick on a dark and cold night. With nothing but the natural lights of the city illuminating the shots, the vast shadows of the video dance beautifully with the vibe of "Last Godz".

Bear God EP II is on the way. Hit play on "Last Godz" 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...

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...
