Busdriver: Imaginary Places
BusDriver demonstrating his unusual, incredibly technical MC skill yet again.
Awesome Lyric:
“kids if you really want to piss of your parents, buy real estate in an imaginary place”
Don’t miss Busdriver’s early collaboration with 2MEX off “Welcome to the Afterlife“, “Walking Dead”. That record is super rare and has some of the best evolutionary work from the LA rap scene available. Special props to the OMD track after it, “Mosh to Da Sun”
Call You Later – Look Daggers – 2MEX & IKEY OWENS
Props to 2Mex and Ikey Owens for their reference to Talking Heads and Jonathan Demme’s “Stop Making Sense” in this video for “Call You Later”. Plus, this video was filmed in the awe-inspiring Long Beach bookstore OPEN (from their old location in EVAD).
Cool Lyrics:
“Between the if and the when with you; come see me and don’t bring your friend with you”
“You look cute in the photo lookit; make me wanna puke in the photobucket”
Be sure to check out Look Daggers release on Up Above Records.
LMNO & YANN KESZ – Never Stop
Leave my name out. The first single off the LMNO & Yann Kesz full-length album “Devilish Dandruff With Holy Shampoo” on Up Above Records has an awesome video. No need for cameos, besides those sweet Creative Rec’s.
