Jake&Papa feat. Skeme – Gun Charge [Video]

Jake&Papa follow the re-release of their Athena’s Erotica 2.0 EP with the video for fan-favorite, Gun Charge, featuring The Game’s newest signee, Skeme. These LA-based R&B brothers took a slightly different approach with these visuals and curated a mini-movie of a classic tale of “Men go to battle. Women wage war.” “We tend to write visual music, it’s what comes natural to us – telling stories.” Jake&Papa say, “We wanted to take more of a cinematic approach with this Gun Charge visual. So, we linked with our brotha Chaaz & LWMG studios to create a modern day Grease type visual. As artists we feel it’s necessary to continue to raise the bar, our own, and for the culture, to make entertaining & timeless pieces for our supporters.”

Palermo Stone – Milk & Honey [Stream]

As Palermo Stone’s The 2nd Coming approaches, the Pittsburgh artist releases the second record in a series of three singles, each increasing in intensity and message. After the laid back “Run the Streetz,” Palermo Stone picks up the tempo with “Milk & Honey,” a lively, message-laden track produced by Detroit native Hunnit Andretti about living and coping with your good side and dark side. Being an album centered on duality, “Milk & Honey” provides the clearest illustration of this concept, using lines like “Little bit of luck, little bit of faith / little bit of sinner, little bit of saint…” to paint a picture all listeners can relate to: dealing with necessary evils for the sake of the greater good. “If your life was flashing before your eyes in one quick moment, how would it feel? I wrote ‘Milk & Honey’ as if I was flashing through life and all its ups and downs, back to the point where it all went wrong. The fast pace but simple word play lets people follow my story and fill in the gaps for themselves to make it their own.” – Palermo Stone
