"Life's struggles present us with many unique challenges, some are never able to over come them, others see it as an excuse to stay stagnant, but ultimately the wise see it as ammo for a real life story to tell and a wonderful life to lead. Pasadena's own VERSIS represents the latter to the fullest extent.

From early childhood VERSIS saw music as not only a hobby but something he was skilled at. Originally coming from Los Angeles' Inglewood area, some moving around the LA County landed him in one of the most prominent cities in the San Gabriel Valley, Pasadena. Some might say the lack of a present father would cause many young black males to turn to a life of crime and the inevitable involvement in street gangs, but for VERSIS Hip Hop is his clique and his lyrics are his arsenal. Without making excuses he puts it best, "Pops was seldom seen confirming the statistics/ a deadbeat just name a year he probably missed it." VERSIS sees reality as it is and moves on from that of which many use to provide a rationale to their own failure.

It is no wonder that through honesty in his music VERSIS provides a voice for real Hip Hop and for a generation that many feel have been negatively influenced by unrealistic music marketed by the mainstream media.

It wasn't until late 2008 that VERSIS started to effectively utilize the talent that he's noticed since as far back as he could remember. With assisting in the creation of the PASADENA HIP HOP ALLIANCE, under the guidance of his advisor, Mr. K. (FOCI), it allowed him to become a part of a circle of like minded individuals and to nurture his talent. In addition to that experience his own brother's longtime friendship with LA's SEVEN DAY allowed for VERSIS to sit in on recording sessions and position himself to eventually get into the booth and record his own tracks.

VERSIS is currently self promoting his work while prepping to gain 'higher learning' after graduating from Blair IB Magnet in '09. With a rare baritone voice and non monotone style the uniqueness of this Hip Hop prodigy is coming to fruition. The bird has been pushed out of its nest and now the whole world will get to see him soar."
________

I've been waiting for this one since Versis leaked the TheJourney(4U) track last month. This is some dope stuff over here! iLLCANDESCENT is the debut album of the West Coast native. The album was originally released a couple day's ago but I couldn't find a link to share it with you guy's.. I'll give it to you for free but if you can miss a couple dollars buy it on Versis's bandcamp it's worth the money, Support real artists!

Fresh Daily - In The Stuy (Video)

Off Fresh Daily's last project ; Mothership/L A N D.. (I will post the album tomorrow)

Mancini & The Creepers - Trouble/Gold Sand

"Back with their second single 'Trouble/Gold Sand' (available at all digitals) the Bristol and London based Mancini & The Creepers continue to blur the lines between Hip Hop, Soul, Indie, Electronica and Jazz, fusing sounds and styles with an impeccably British twist. Vocalist Mancini combines rolling raps and melodies in a uniquely soulful style, breezing through stories of life in modern day Britain. Production is handled by Tommy Tempa and Frank Laws, who together hold down The Creepers organic sound. To any one who didn't receive these tracks from Alex Rogers (at All The Young Kings) just click on the links below to download them."
_________

I received this one a while ago in my mail, but because I totally forgot to check my mailbox once in a while I never listened to it until today. I always respect artists who manage to diversify themselves from the rest of the scene, and after listening to the music of Mancini & The Creepers I can say that they accomplished to do that very well. Listen to the songs and decide your self, I think it's pretty dope!

Winter Takes All

Nina Sing feat. Funklove

The Crucible feat. Geologic of Blue Scholars

"Entering the hip-hop arena in an almost-forgotten fashion, the MC-and-the-DJ tag team Common Market has been pegged as leaders of Seattle's new-school rap movement. MC RA Scion and DJ Sabzi have received rave reviews locally, landing in the Seattle Times' artists-to-watch list in 2006, appearing on the front cover of Sound Seattle magazine's September 2006 issue, and obtaining the personal endorsement of hip-hop pioneer KRS-One as an exceptional up-and-coming group. Sabzi, a classically trained pianist and member of Seattle rap group Blue Scholars, and RA Scion came to meet each other in 2004 because of their identical ambitions to make Seattle a hotbed for hip-hop and their similar beliefs as worshipers of the Baha'i Faith. After Sabzi lent production help to RA Scion's solo album, Live and Learn, the two formed Common Market in 2005. Their self-titled debut album was first released in 2005 but then released nationally in early 2006. ~ Cyril Cordor, All Music Guide "

The Illz - Persistence (Video)

"Synopsis by Hot Mop Films: It’s a pleasure to be around hard working people, even more it’s truly an honor to be around people who inspire creativity. The ILLZ is one of those people. A while back The ILLZ hit me up, we spoke about his original concept for the “In Between Video Series” 7 new tracks, 7 new videos. I was like, “Cool, which one you wanted me to do?” he simply said, “You can do all of them, but lets start off and do 3.” He must have seen my face drop, I could do 7 videos but I wouldn’t have a life, hahaha. So, HotMop partnered up with The ILLZ and Krystopher Rey- Talley to take on this project. This is HotMop’s first video and we’re very excited about it. We shot the “Persistence” Video in the green room (more like the red room) of Santos Party House living in the moment. We were blanketed by that red light bullshiting and laughing together and I saw an opportunity and said ” This room is ILL, let’s shoot a freestyle video”. But, the minute we were done with it… I was like, “Fuck a random freestyle let’s shoot one of the videos.” He gave me a pound “Let’s do it.” Nahgee (good friend, business partner, and HotMop filmer) walked in with the second camera and we got two angles going at the same time. IN 20 minutes we walked back out to The ILLZ soundcheck and that was it, the “Persistence” video was a wrap. You know, some times you live for the future but to get there you need to live in the present. I am truly blessed to be around hard working, creative people. OBRIGADO (thank you in Portuguese) Huge shout out to the HotMop Family: Jazz, Ronin, Nahgee, Good Fella Radio Crew: Justin, Q, Rob and especially the homie AR.

“Persistence” was produced by CitoOnTheBeat.com
Download the “In Between Video Series” along with the videos and the songs on August 17th.
