Tabby - "SEQUEL!" [prod. olsc] (Video)


I don't know much of anything about Tabby but I saw a friend share a link to "SEQUEL!" and I clicked it.

Fuck.

Now, I want to hear more, see more and know more.

From what I can gather, Tabby gained a following for his reaction videos on YouTube and now he's taking greater strides into the creation of his own music. "SEQUEL!" is an aesthetically captivating and sonically layered creative manifestation of an individual's vision. With it, viewers are opened up to a juxtaposition of lover boy and orange boy, as Tabby bounces between different deliveries and cadences for each persona.

Lover Boy is brought to life with a cool, calm, collected and sassy personality, while Orange Boy features an aggressive and abrasive presentation. Both characters appear in physical forms highlighted by a provocatively made-up Tabby (Lover Boy) and an orange ski-mask clad Tabby (Orange Boy). The superficial physical appearances accentuate the sonic delivery and prose remarkably, capturing the essence of their respective energies.

"SEQUEL!" is littered with such clever wordplay, the profusion of entendres resulting in a necessary replay of the record at the very least two or three times. Tabby is addressing quite a bit throughout the peach fuzz! single, but manages to make the abundance of content flow together pristinely. His ability to take two clashing styles and blend them into one balanced piece of art is admirable, no doubt demonstrating the mind he has for music.

Production on "SEQUEL!" comes courtesy of olsc, whose instrumentation rides the wavy highs and lows of Tabby's delivery. olsc ensures the musical backdrop knocks when it needs to knock and takes a back seat when Tabby's prose requires space to breath.

The expressive visual experience was directed, filmed and edited by Nathaniel Nelson.

Tabby's peachfuzz! is set for a December 7th release and will feature 11 tracks. Hit play on "SEQUEL!" 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 - "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...

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...
