Recess :: DNA (tour mash up video)

Recess consists of Brooklyn mic champion Sene and my good folks, The Clubhouse.  While your favorite poplemon maven was quietly working in Denver during SXSW, I’m glad that we live in an era of digital video — so much so that I’ve been able to catch some really fucking dope performances from SXSW from the [...]

HomeBase Presents :: Live At The Clubhouse Vol. 1

I’ve been speaking out the HomeBase NYC / Clubhouse collaboration for awhile now and luckily for us, their EP has finally been released.  With features from Blu, Freddie Gibbs, Coco O, and more.

Homebase NYC // Homeboy Sandman :: Fully Equipped (Live at the Clubhouse)

I’ve been extra blessed to have a solid relationship with the Homebase NYC crew, who in turn have an amazing working relationship with The Clubhouse.  The Clubhouse is a private residence in Flatbush, Brooklyn (that just so happens to bring out the very element of architecture geek in me). Think of it as the Animal [...]

Blu + Exile :: Hip Hop Kemp 2009 performance

I’m a huge fan of both Blu and my favorite counterpart of his, Exile (who I had the pleasure of meeting during 2009′s Red Bull Big Tune).  Check out a few minutes of live footage from the festival, which is held annually in Bohemia, Czech Republic.

Tanya Morgan :: Brooklynati promo video

I first caught wind of Tanya Morgan from my dude Dj Low Key, who’s probably one of the freshest djs I know (and also serves as their tour dj).  The new LP, ‘Brooklynati’ drops tomorrow with high expectations from the independent community at large. While I may not be the biggest Tanya Morgan fan out [...]
