Lonegevity - "Feel Utopia" (Music Video | 2020)

"Feel Utopia" is a visual from emcee/producer Lonegevity. Free download from his Bandcamp.

"I started watching Utopia and really dug the score. I also just copped The Kount's new kit recently and threw these drums over the loop. I don't write as much anymore, but these pieces inspired me to throw some randomness together, and I ended up with this in a few hours. Then I decided to see if I could do something not horrible for the video." - Lonegevity

Beat: Lonegevity
Lyrics: Lonegevity
Mix/Master: Lonegevity
Video: Lonegevity
Sample: Utopia (TV Series Theme)
Drums: The Kount (Chopped Up)

Lyrics:
CBGB baby rock n roll rock n roll
Humpty Dumpty on these rocky roads with my bros
Couple friends been rocking with my foes from before
Randy Jackson when they see me dog it’s a no
Picking up my pace like I was jogging before
Please don’t interrupt me when I'm watching my soaps
Becky in the bathroom hear her hitting the slopes
Always keep it laced up I’m not Dan Marino
If we checked our prices bet you got it for more
That false advertising you ain’t got it for the low
Thought I had it then but now I got it for shore
Now we get it knocking grab a knot off a show

I want you to look me in the eyes
Can’t you tell I’m wearing a disguise
This one day will lead to my demise
I know you don’t wanna see me cry

Ooh she bad
Ew you, ew you mad
Send it my, send it my way
I thought I could never settle down
I been with Selena all-day

CBD me, baby, while I stare at my phone
Acting like my dog why would I throw you a bone
I don't like your tone that's why I'd rather be home
In California, John Stamps look like Razor Ramone
Already did it before, now I just give it and go
Y'all watching Rhythm and Flow, I'm rocking denim and gold
Angel like center the fold, booty like cinnamon toast
What is a man to a god in the presence of a goat
Throwing ass on an afghan rug possibly going berzerk
I'm letting go of my ego sweating it off in a yurt
OJ the nigga the gift and the curse
Clocked in let me give you the work
Pineapple piece, fuck the police
niggas will never forget what I'm worth

I want you to look me in the eyes
Can’t you tell I’m wearing a disguise
This one day will lead to my demise
I know you don’t wanna see me cry

Ooh she bad
Ew you, ew you mad
Send it my, send it my way
I thought I could never settle down
I been with Selena all-day

Maja 7th - "Songs in the Key of Marvin" (Full Instrumental Album Stream | 2018)

Whenever Hip-Hop sonically meets Soul legend Marvin Gaye its always the inception of a classic. Indianapolis, IN producer, Maja7th was inspired earlier this year to put together a 9-track 'instrumental' EP "Songs In The Key Of Marvin" as a tribute to the genius.

With fresh arrangements, Maja7th built this EP with a selection of atomised samples and acapellas procured by DJ TopSpeed from various songs off his catalogue, re-purposed each of them using live instrumentation, birthing new vitality into the motown standards.

Cut from a similar cloth to Madlib and 9th Wonder, the Indiana musician defines musicality highlighting his extensive repertoire using an array of instruments throughout all 9 blends including piano, retro synths alongside his MPC, with some input from Jerome Sloss [Saxophone] and Andrez Allen [Bass] on the collaboration "When You Want Me."
#maja7th #marvingaye #songsinthekeyofmarvin

" Marvin's music ALWAYS had a groove and made you feel something. I wanted to tap into that..." - Maja7th

Makwolf - "Goatladiop" (Full Project Stream | 2020)

Inspired by his home turf, Indianapolis, Indiana, Makwolf gathered some of the best MCs from in and around his city to create this album. Playing off of the last name of his favorite player and hometown team star, Victor Oladipo, GOATLADIPO is nothing less than energetic, fresh, versatile and a true reflection of who Makwolf is as an artist. Not only does it embody his unorthodox style of production, but it sonically pays homage to some of his musical influences such as Three 6 Mafia, J Dilla, Madlib, DJ Screw, Big K.R.I.T. and many more. It's really hard to describe this album. You just have to experience it for yourself! Released 9/30/20. #Naptown

Tony Styxx & Frildoh - "Tomorrow" (Full Album Stream | 2020)

One of the most mysterious ideas we deal with daily is the idea of Tomorrow. What will it bring? Will it be successful because of what was done yesterday, today even? Who or what will remain after midnight? Will I be here? What can wait or can't wait until that day....Tomorrow?

Over the last decade Max "frildoh" Alley and Tony Styxx have been putting this album off until Tomorrow. Graduating college, burying loved ones, moving, homeless, addiction recovery, suicidal depression, new jobs, break ups and make ups. Even just growing up as men.... Something always came up...and we felt that we always had Tomorrow. But the decade taught us that you don't always have that time. To live and laugh, to love and cry, to build and rebuild, for family, friends and even for self... Sometimes all we have is today. Sometimes Tomorrow doesn't come.

We hope this album inspires you to live, love, laugh, lose with grace and learn with purpose. Because although Tomorrow isn't promised, doesn't mean you can't live for the day. TOMORROW: An Album Inspired by Procrastination

Artist Resource Directory

The Indiana and Naptown hip hop music directory is an archived list of many different Indianapolis / Naptown hip hop-related entities that can help artists in the city. This will include studios, producers, engineers, videographers, photographers, hip hip media brands and contacts, education/instructors, marketers, DJ’s, music attorneys, venues, etc. We understand the need for up and coming and established artists to have a go-to directory to help their journey in music, and this is a work in progress. We will eventually have a submission form.

Biography

Chreece Presents and Live Nation

After the success of the first three festivals, Chreece Presents has been formed to promote Hip Hop Culture on a year round basis. While attending the Music Cities Conference in April, Live Nation’s Dan Kemer and Chreece Presents got together to discuss ideas on how to further develop Indy’s live Hip Hop music scene. From these discussions, Chreece Presents was born. The newly formed promotion company will assist Live Nation in promoting Hip Hop shows, curate local music showcases and assist in securing local opening slot opportunities on national tours. This is a great move for live Hip Hop in Indiana and will only strengthen an already burgeoning music scene.
