Bright Light: alpha.live & Freeway LIVE in the Barber Shop | @alphaisforever @phillyfreezer
Wednesday, 8/4/2010, was a big day for my video camera here in Indianapolis. Jake One & Freeway (along with J Moore) traveled here to do a Red Bull Q&A, and show later in the evening at the Jazz Kitchen.
A little background on this video: DJ MetroGnome hit me and a few other Indianapolis producers up to submit a track for the Freezer himself to spit on at the show, and Soul Cinematik’s got chosen (props to him, it was a dope joint). At the same time, MetroGnome got a track from Jake One for a few Indianapolis emcee’s to hop on. Later on in the evening (which you’ll probably see in my other footage), I found out who the other two emcee’s were. Alpha was the only guy present for this little impromptu specialness, as you can see. Props to Indianapolis hip hop, Red Bull, Freeway, Jake One, J Moore (Indianapolis & Seattle), the Jazz Kitchen, Tara Barber Shop, and everybody that was a part of making this a great experience. I’m still in the process of editing all of the footage from the actual Q&A, and event that evening at the Jazz Kitchen, but here’s the first phase. Enjoy!

The Hip Drop / a Film & Some Funk present: WHAT’S GOING ON? the American Masters Documentary
Every 3rd Friday of the month, a Film & Some Funk and Old Soul Entertainment brings a documentary out to the Art Box followed by some soul and funk music to dance the night away. I’m not sure of any of the specifics this Friday other than DJ Salad Bar and DJ MetroGnome will be on the tables spinning the best in soul, funk, disco, and boogie (more than likely with a special guest DJ as well). The documentary this month is on Marvin Gaye. Come on out to the Art Box! Film starts fairly promptly at 9pm!

Maja 7th & Fake Shore Drive Present: The Breakout Mixtape
I’m late to the party, as my net has been down for a week in a transition to a new provider, but The Breakout Mixtape is here. Props to Maja 7th for putting the amount of work he has to release this project. There are some really good cuts on here with artists such as Freddie Gibbs, Mikkey Halsted, Starrs & Murph, Pill, Phil G, Mike Schpitz aka LoveJones, Pete Sayke, GLC, Jap City, Dave Coresh, Naledge, Mick Luter, Pugz Atomz, and even Hinx Jones w/ Papi Jamon. DJ’s MetroGnome and Castle also provided cuts on a couple songs.
I’d go into it more, but there’s no need to. Shout out to ILL Brown who mastered the project. 16 tracks of heat!!!

DJ Metrognome: Soul Supreme V1 – Check!
DJ MetroGnome has recently released this mixtape of some Neo-Soulish sounds. Peep this if you get down with these goodies!
“Indianapolis’ DJ Metrognome just hit us up with his latest mixtape, Soul Supreme v.1. The mix is a lesson is digging, blending, and quality DJing as Metrognome travels through soul music stopping at classic as well as lesser-known gems.” – rubyhornet.com
“My goal with this project was to combine some of the bigger names on the soul scene (Sade, Dwele, Goapele, etc) with lesser-known but equally talented artists (Coultrain, Ayah, PPP’s, etc). The download link will provide with you all the music (individual song files + 1 long mix for those that have cluttered iTunes that are always on shuffle) as well as the artwork and tracklisting.” – DJ MetroGnome
