VISUAL - Dilla Dance feat. Von Grim produced by Charlie Beans

R.I.P. to a true hip hop legend !

I was blessed enough to have met Dilla at the Logan Square auditorium while he was on tour with Madlib .

He was a very humble dude. It was an honor to have had opportunity to talk with him.

I created this song around this same time last year. I'm in the middle of a couple projects and this song was going to end on one but I was tired of sitting on it so I wanted to drop since the time was perfect for it

Download the song here :

VISUAL - DIlla Dance feat. Von Grim produced Charlie Beans 

Lyrics :

VISUAL -

My flows so sickening , haters start picketing
Lil homies, like "aw man he killing it"
Call the coroner, look man I'm warning ya
Peace to Charlie for the Detroit aura
I aint gonna front, this beat bounce like dilla
Gangsta like Gibbs, str8 killa, no filla
Never hold back, please tell me whose reaalla!
Been hiphop since MJ did Thrilla
Hiphop made me
The liars made me angry
The trees make me hazy
The 80's made me swayze
My city made me crazy
Haters love ta hate me
Real people Chase me
Being me pays me
I don't really play around, Chicago raised me
Every time I'm outta town, the people praise me
I am a gentleman It's hiphop etiquette
To spit 16 's but with me, that's not settlin
That's too basic, so ima add 8 to it
Just to prove to ya'll that I am not a - verage
Ya know I mean average, my style gives me leverage
Over basic rappers that ain't messin with a veteran 20
ya'll got, simple material, my raps are aerial
I eat hiphop for breakfast, ya'll eat cereal
My FLOW is sick, your disease is venerial
Visual, I will be me till my burial

Hook -

Detroit Dilla Dance
Midwest skill enhanced
Chicago's cold
And my flow so ignorant
Charlie, the beat bang
Visual I freak slang
Grim he freaks slang
Charlie, the beat bang

Stay Blessed.

Main Event - I Need You Music Video

I came across this video because I kept seeing it pop up on Facebook timeline. I don't know too much about Main Event or  MYU but I do know they are based in Chicago and I have spoke to Chikko Redd from MYU about a collab  a couple times online. I'm really digging this song. Some might think its trendy but I think regardless, its a dope & very catchy song.

FREEDOM : A HIP HOP MUSICAL TRAILER

[youtube=http://youtu.be/Y7GcwyUovVY?hd=1]

Yes ! I was blessed enough ti be asked to be part of this powerful production.

Check out the info about it below :

FREEDOM!

Arrested, convicted, sentenced to death and innocent!

Imagine that this is you and the only one who believes your innocent is your kid sister. This is the story of an exciting new hip-hop musical, Freedom. It is the first hip-hop musical to have an original story with music written specifically to tell that story.

Patrick Blake is a writer/producer based in New York and San Francisco and is the author of Freedom’s script. Blake was involved with the production of The Exonerated that won the Drama Desk, Lucille Lortel and Outer Critics Circle Awards. The Exonerated played at the 45 Bleecker Theater and toured nationally. Blake also co-produced the Obie Award winning play In The Continuum that played at the Perry Street Theatre, Edinburgh Fringe Theatre and toured both nationally and internationally. Other Blake productions include Play Dead at the Player’s Theatre, Noah’s Archive at the Ohio Theatre, Joe Fearless at the Atlantic Theatre, American Girls at the 45th Street Theatre, The Soap Myth at the South Street Seaport Theatre, Dirty Works at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Once A Man Twice A Boy at the Irish Arts Center.

Blake was also involved with writing First Date that played at the New York Performance Works Theatre and the South Street Seaport Theatre, The Press Release at the San Francisco Playwright’s Center and the Sheherezade Festival, E.V. at the New York Performance Works, The Reading and A Raven Prepares both at the Metropolitan Playhouse.

CHI-ILL, a future hip-hop legend from Chicago wrote the original lyrics and with the assistance of DJ O-Zone and 3-60 Tha Mack, two hometown producers, composed the original music for Freedom. CHI-ILL has toured as an opening act for D.M.X. and in the past collaborated with hip-hop icons such as Kool G Rap and multi-platinum producer Dame Grease. In 2010, CHI-ILL and DJ O-Zone digitally released The Last Chance Lounge which is currently available for purchase on i-Tunes and CHI-ILL launched his official website WWW.CHI-ILL.COM.

Blake asserts that “every musical form has been used by theater to tell stories except hip-hop. It's past time for this to happen.” The creative team is currently negotiating with producers and anticipates a regional production in the fall of 2011.
