Substantial – See Hear [Video]

Baltimore MC Substantial jumped back into the scene with this fall’s “Home Is Where The Art Is“, a personal and powerful testament to Stan B. Robinson’s development as a man and MC. Fans and critics seem to concur. To keep the momentum going on this fantastic LP, Substantial and Mello Music Group drop the uplifting video for “See Hear”. The video, directed beautifully by Ariel “Rel” Nuñez, opens up with a local elder speaking on Baltimore’s history, more specifically how the city experienced a stark decline after the Disco era undoubtedly due to the recession and crack epidemic of the early 80’s. Sub picks up the gentleman’s baton and takes us on a tour of B-more, exposing us to the good and not-so-good. Still, throughout everything Substantial looks optimistically to the future. Don’t think Sub sees everything through rosy glasses, he acknowledges challenges and divisions within the city but lets us know he’s still invested in the place and the people because “that’s real unity, remembering it starts with you!” Produced by Algorythm of The Stuyvesants, the beat knocks with rare precision and the harmonies, both in the beat and provided by Steph The Sapphic Songstress, mirror the optimism in Substantial’s sharp lyrics. In an age where many MC’s are either jaded or out of touch, it’s refreshing to hear (and see) someone so focused on the future! Previously: Substantial feat.

dead prez On Information Age / Career Growth [Video]

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. This was definitely one of my more rewarding interviews for Out Da Box TV, and it turned out to be pretty extensive, so I decided to release it in two parts. Next week I will release Part 2 , which will be just as insightful. In the meantime, check out this in-depth Part 1 and feel free to leave us any feedback or comments you have in mind. Dead Prez recently released their latest album “Information Age” which is now available via itunes or amazon digitally. Feel free to purchase and support their always conscious and evolving movement towards the People’s Upliftment. Enjoy!
