N.VS x Calvin Valentine ft. Sam Trump - Diamonds For Thought

Zers Fool! (art by Verbz…yes me)

I keep threatening to stop using this but my people are just creating great new music. To kick it off today…pick up Trophy Cases by my friends Calvin Valentine aka G Force (maestro behind TxE) & N.VS, a vicious rapper based in Chi City these days. It’s a FREE EP available now on Bandcamp. The track I chose for da tumblr has been running through my head for days. The track features fellow FangTshida member Sam Trump, and is only one of the great features. Also bringing their talents to Trophy Cases are PRTLND family members Epp (of TxE), DaiN, & Hi-Res. Chase Moore & Be.Water round out a slickly crafted 5 track EP with Calvin’s signature sound & N.VS tearing down every track. Calvin connected with me a while ago to create the art. It took a while to come together, but I think we nailed it. Clean is classic. Just like the EP. Enjoy…

It’s been months…years…decades since I’ve posted here. It may very well be the last time. Final graphics are in the works right now & I expect my next post to be on my new website.

HOWEVER….if there is some tiny chance that you don’t have this track yet, I highly suggest you get it right now. This is the product of magic. How many teams do you know can knock out 2 promo videos, a photoshoot, record & mix a song, & release it by midnight? This is Epp & Calvin Valentine from TxE & my good friend Lawz Spoken & my brother Mark Steez on the beat. Definitely a cool out, lay back, & ……….kinda track. Some days, there is magic in the air. Follow the links to a free download with some bonus artwork.

Watch out for more Ferrari Fridays….

Tope - Last Donut

A little bit of Tope with your Dilla?

Inspiration has flooded my music family. I’ve never had so many new great songs from my friends. I feel the verge. We can see higher into the mountain. I guess you can say we’re standing close to the ledge.

One of my friends grinding the hardest these days is Tope. Not only his own solo music coming out but 2 different groups to perform with original crew Living Proof with the homie Prem & his beastly crew TxE with G Force & Epp.

So apparently last night, inspiration bit Tope in the form of beats by Dilla, he recorded this joint right here, & look, he even has artwork. Not just 1, but 2 images. Impressive turn around these days. So I got it all available for download as a zip file. 1 MP3, 2 jpgs, & a pocket full of dreams.

IN OTHER NEWS!

I’m gonna be moving over to a new site soon. I just finished up my first quarter at PSU, (send me 4.0 vibes) so I took a little break but I’m back baby. Enjoy the new tunes. Check back soon.

Verbz The Kid…& I’m out.

Ski Beatz ft. Mos Def & Whosane - Taxi

It’s been a long time. I shouldn’t have left you…

Hello world. Laying back & basking in the new come sunshine & A’s on all my midterms. thatswhatsup. Took some time out to concentrate on school & creating something new. My new official site is in the works & I couldn’t be happier.

Enough blah blah. Gimmie some music ya know?

Been playing this track out. Even did picked up an old habit & put the song on repeat for a while. Mos Definite back at it again. I find myself easily attached to the laid back melodies & daydream of the sing-song. Hip-hop legend Ski Beatz on the production. Not shining like a chubby girl in a sequin dress but glowing like the sun. Always comes back to the sun.

Bless,

Verbz The Kid (checccck me out, I ain’t that bad)
