Mara Hruby ~ Simply Beautiful

In the month of November, 2010, Mara Hruby released her debut EP entitled “From Her Eyes”. Exactly two years later, this November 30th is the mark of the first release she has exposed since her golden introduction to the world. Simply Beautiful is exactly what her new song represents, pun intended. Covering Al Greens “Simply Beautiful”, recorded in the Love Den, Ms. Hruby has engineered, arranged, and produced this soul evoking tune, playing only objects found in her home, accompanied by acoustic guitar played by Nate Mercereau & Steve Wyreman. Listen closely and you will hear her playing spoons, loose change, a metal buddha head with a safety pin, and scratching against a scarf. This raw release is a thank you to all that have supported me in my journey of “From Her Eyes” with love and light. Welcome to her heart, home and soul.

Dead Prez talks Information Age / Career Growth (Part 1) (Video/Build)

Out Da Box TV is proud to bring you Part 1 of our exclusive interview with veteran hip hop group "Dead Prez". A couple months ago we got the chance to speak with Stic Man and M1 regarding their latest album "Information Age" as well as their individual development and growth as artists. The group also took the time to speak on the effect of Barack Obama's first term (what we should've learned?), as well as the issue of apathy and violence re-occurring among young americans. As the interview progressed, Dpz took the time to reflect on the success of their "Turn Off The Radio" mixtapes, as well as their loyalty as a group, remaining comrades/partners in music for so many years.

Marley Marl 'Classic Recipes' ~ Recreating Eric B. & Rakim 'Eric B. Is President' w/ Akai MPC

Marley Marl is unquestionably one of the greatest producers and DJs in hip hop history. His influence and importance to hip hop are undeniable, and his innovative productions and pioneering use of sampling helped define the genre. Marley Marl has produced beats for some of the music's finest MCs including Big Daddy Kane, MC Shan, LL Cool J, Biz Markie, Roxanne Shante, Kool G Rap, Nas, Rakim, and Masta Ace.

In the second installment of Marley Marl 'Classic Recipes,' he shows you how he produced "Eric B. Is President" in 1986, the debut single for legendary hip hop duo Eric B. & Rakim. Marl talks about meeting Rakim for the first time and discusses the collaborative process with Eric B. that would yield one of the most influential hip hop tracks ever. "Eric B. Is President" combines a bassline from Fonda Rae's bonafide 1982 club hit "Over Like a Fat Rat" and a beat from James Brown's 1974 hit "Funky President." Putting these two parts together was a bit tricky due to differences in tempo, but Marley resolved this problem by replaying the bassline with his trusty Casio CZ-101 keyboard instead of just sampling it.

In this video, Marley Marl recreates the entire track using his Akai MPC Renaissance to play a bass sound similar to the original, and using kick and snare samples from The Honey Drippers' track "Impeach The President." As always, Marley Marl drops priceless nuggets of wisdom and tips for young producers, including a beat programming technique he picked up from the original funky drummer Clyde Stubblefield and knowledge and words to live by from Rakim: "It ain't where you from, it's where you're at."

Apollo Brown & Guilty Simpson ~ Nasty feat. Planet Asia ((Single))


Carhartts, boots, bleak weather, and a cold "Nasty" banger featuring Planet Asia.  
Apollo Brown chops a fiery gospel organ into an incendiary track that pulses with life. Guilty wastes no time turning into a microphone bully, showing just why he considers himself as nasty as black licorice. Cocky, brazen and above all ill, Apollo and Guilty are deadly enough as a duo but on this track they enlist their Left Coast brethren, Planet Asia, for a few bars of that west side grime. Fresno’s finest catches Guilty’s lob and slam-dunks his verse.

Wax Poetics shares an exclusive free download of the Decoders' cover of the Rotary Connection joint, "I Am the Black Gold of the Sun," which was produced by the great Charles Stepney. The track features Loren Oden and Brooke De Rosa.
* * *
Riding on the heels of their first single off of Vol. 2 (Walk On By) with its orchestral soul arrangements, the second single from Vol. 2, Rotary Connection's "I Am the Black Gold of the Sun," is an ode to the beautifully epic orchestral arrangements of producer Charles Stepney.
But this time, the Decoders have decided to venture into the Brazilian repertoire, incorporating Samba and Jazz elements into the group's psychedelic soul arrangement.

Rik Cordero x Spike Lee ~ The World is Watching Basketball Documentary (Ep. 1)

"The World Is Watching" Basketball Documentary Episode 1 (Spike Lee x Rik Cordero)

"The World Is Watching" is a six-episode basketball documentary directed by Rik Cordero and narrated by legendary New York City filmmaker Spike Lee. The film features prominent teenage athletes competing in a New York City Basketball tournament called Battle of the Boroughs.

It features the best up and coming basketball players in New York City including rising star Maurice Harkless, currently playing for the Orlando Magic. As the players push their bodies to the limit, they must also live up to the expectations of their coaches, their families and their boroughs.

"The hallmark of Cordero's videos is his ability to tell personally resonant stories, and he brought this same narrative acumen to The World is Watching."

- Billy Fox, SLAM Magazine
