Vidz: Von Won & Crew "Chopped Liver"

I'm at 4930 Studios working on "The Fence" documentary when Von Won stopped by to upload the freshly cut version of his new Sheep In Wolves' Clothing crew promo video for "Chopped Liver."

Fellas on the cut include: Von Won, Dat Boy Jesse, JP, Eno, Trevor Lee, Child of Christ, RBS, J Real, Narrow and Denzil.

Kanye West bites Pigeon John?

My man Ruslan from theBREAX crew sparked this discussion on the Sphereofhiphop.com message boards when Ye's song was first leaked saying it sounded like the sing-songy stuff from the "Pigeon John Sings the Blues" and "Pigeon John Is Dating Your Sister" albums (minus the Auto-Tune of course.)

It gets worse when you compare the just released animated video (below) to the fan-created image (at the top) PJ's had on his MySpace page for over a year. Peep the full beard, suit coat, et al.



Yikes! Do we have another CY/T-Pain issue on our hands?

Of course Pigeon predicted people would eventually take his steez. Check this verse from the "Dating Your Sister" album.

"I don't really care what they think / tomorrow they'll be doing my song / and will be claiming it's new / and 10 years ago they used to say 'That ain't even hip hop' / now they're dipped in a Sinatra suit

And actin' real silly / thinkin' PJ's a joke / but they'll be doin' exactly what I do / I'll tell you what / I'll give you my style right now to save time / Cuz it takes time for you to chew / Obviously...."

Remix vid: Jesus Music/Godly Life - DJ Primo

The king of Christian rap's chopped and screwed game has always been good at blends and remixes. Now DJ Primo's steppin' into the video mash-up biz.

Peep the hotness when Lecrae's "Jesus Muizk" meets Jacob Izreal's "Godly Life."

AOG Clothing 611 Signs Tre9 to Endorse

Up and coming couture company AOG Clothing 611 recently scored a big win by signing gospel rapper Bobby “Tre9” Herring to a formal endorsement contract.

Financial terms were not disclosed, but general agreements include supplying Tre9 with new and exclusive designs for performances and public appearances, use of his likeness in various forms of advertisement, and the artist’s general promotion of the line as his preferred urban apparel supplier.

“Tre9 is a perfect spokesman for us on so many levels,” AOG Clothing 611 founder Tony Lewis said. “First, his reputation as a pioneering leader in urban music ministry is impeccable. Second, he reaches the diverse audience we also want to reach. Third, he’s from our hometown and looks great in our various designs.”

AOG Clothing 611 believes it can be a tool to share the message of Christ. The name itself often sparks a conversation when people inquire about the meaning behind each detail.

AOG stands for elements of the “Armor of God” which Christians understand to be mandatory for successful spiritual battle. The number “611” represents the specific Bible verse, Ephesians 6:11, from which the idea is taken.

The company was founded in October of 2007. Although their current designs are only on T-shirts, plans are in the works to expand to denim, caps, hoodies, and other fashionable and high-demand pieces.

“There is a need for Christian urban clothing lines that are well known and just as popular as their mainstream counterparts,” Tre9 said. “We need to give our youth something to feel proud of just like they are with Sean John, Echo, and Rocawear.”

AOG is also cognizant of separatist, inferior, and often “me-too” reputation of most Christian alternatives.

“The separation is in our message - not our clothes. We want it to be current with the styles of today. Future concepts may not even have a written or literal Christian message on them, but may just be designed uniquely,” Lewis said.

“I wouldn’t endorse something that’s cheesy,” Tre9 said. “Those who have followed my career know that if I put my name to something it has to represent my Lord in excellence.”

Vidz: Dre Murray "My Lane"

Amazing what a clean and well lit black and white clip with some minor FX can do for an artist. The song's hot too.

The long-awaited relaunch of DaSouth.com is here.



Hit it up for a FREE download of DJ D-Lite's new "Election" mixtape. I love how Zee designed the cover art to have the Democrats on the left and the Republicans on the right.

And be sure to peep the front page exclusive video/story taken from "The Fence" documentary of Rick Ross & David Banner being asked about their faith and lyrical responsiblity.

Get it in!

A Savior On Capitol Hill

In honor of election day I'd like to share a great song and video from one of my favorite non-hip hop artists - Derek Webb.

(NOTE: Despite the still screen on the video, this is neither a pro-Obama or pro-McCain clip. In fact, Webb is even fine if Christians DON'T cast a vote.)

BTW, you can snag a special Election 08 copy of his excellent "Mockingbird" album here for FREE from his revolutionary NoiseTrade website.
