A.D. & S-bo — “Bag It Up” featuring Shawn Jackson

Mylanta and Rhode Island hip-hop. That’s how I’m spending my Monday night. And you’re all lucky to be right in the thick of it. I still have another monster of a post after this one, and, if the spoiled pork chop I ate for dinner cripples me any more than it already has, I’ll be sure to give you a play-by-play of my sickness. However, I’m guessing you wouldn’t like that, so I’ll speed through this submission I received earlier as fast as possible, before things get messy.

The song is from locals S-bo and A.D., the latter being the producer of the two. It’s off of their upcoming project together, Return of the High-Five, and features former RI wordsmith Shawn Jackson. Give it a listen:

Freddie Black and KEVdiggs, among a few others, are also set to make appearances once the project is released in full.  While you’re waiting for that, help these guys step their “likes” up on ROTH5′s freshly started fan page.

Let us know what you’re thinking of the cut.  And wish me well. My stomach is begging.

Thr33 Piece Suit’s Brand New Vintage Album Teaser [VIDEO]

If you’ve been a TECB reader for any span of time, then you should know these three dudes — Swann Notty x j.DePina x Chachi Carvlho — are favorites of mine. That said, it’s no surprise I’m ecstatic to hear news of the brothers from The Bucket gathering for a full-length album under the name of Thr33 Piece Suit.

Those of you looking for more Brand New Vintage, keep The Echo Chamber Blog in your daily routine. I’ll be supporting this at every chance.

“People can slave over multi-syllabic rhyme schemes and concepts all they want, but if they can’t deliver the words with charisma then it’s all for naught.” -Sage Francis

Pretty Lights — “We Must Go On” [VIDEO]

Last week I was ripped about how many shit-bumb, flat-out ignorant music submissions I received. Some people are just ridiculous with it. I vowed not to come back to TECB until I was either contacted with exceedingly excellent news and/or music, or, at the very least, once I settled down and stopped hating everything that isn’t Kinda Kinks or Vodka & Ayahuasca. Thankfully I’ve calmed, as have the slew of careless morons submitting music.  My email is now filled with potential posts, and I’m going to try to crank out a few before my eyes start to bleed from an entire day in front of the geek box.

This new video from Pretty Lights wasn’t what made me drop everything, but it marked the start of worthy, above average material piling-up in my inbox that should be heard and seen by my people.  One intention of “We Must Go On,” noted in the YouTube details, was to “communicate a range of feelings and open-ended ideas,” which I believe they (PL and his homegirl) accomplished.

If you like the song, the download can be had over at the Pretty Lights website. Yes, for free.
