Greg Grease ~ Basement Soul (Video)

StupidDope.com is pleased to premiere Minneapolis artist Greg Grease’ dope new video! Since his project The Giving Tree, Greg Grease is fast proving to be a formidable talent on the underground scene. Following last week’s release of his highly praised track “RIP Well” – an ode to his fallen homies, Greg Grease releases “Basement Soul” – the first visuals off his miniseries Cornbread’s Coming. “Basement Soul” smooth, soulful song with twinkling piano keys woven throughout, furnishing it with a cool summery ambience.

SpaceGhostPurrp ~ 4AD Session (Video)

SpaceGhostPurrp performs “Mystikal Maze”, “Get Yah Head Bust” and “Don’t Give A Damn” off Mysterious Phonk for his one of his label 4AD’s live Sessions.

Taking place in late Spring at Brooklyn Fire Proof in Williamsburg (an arts complex named to honour Brooklyn Fire Proof Sash and Door Company, a factory that had thrived at it's location at the turn of the last century), this 4AD Session is the third to be shot by director Robert Semmer. Revisiting three tracks from Mysterious Phonk, the intention of the shoot was to capture an intimate portrait of an artist who to date has favoured a more low key profile. Taking cues from the shadowy intrigue of Purrp's own Raider Klan collective, the rapper/producer is fore-grounded against a smoke-flecked backdrop, its monochrome intensity in-keeping with the claustrophobic nature of the music. Addressing the camera directly with a compelling intensity, the fully mic'd room details his lucid, hypnotic verses. A flexible approach to language - both written and spoken - is key to Purrp's aesthetic and the session highlights his interest in phonetics, the sound of the words themselves as important as their meaning. The result is syrup-thick head music, that nods to hip hop fore fathers, but also leans against conventions to formulate his own murky universe. Consequently it's unlike any 4AD Session to date.
