Grynch is back with an all new album, eleven new songs plus an remix and he’s calling it Street Lights. If you know how he is, you know the man is capable of dropping nicely in a manner that requires for you to listen, and then to listen to it a few times again. The new one features appearances from Slug of Atmosphere, Wizdom, Mario Sweet, Kokane, Bambu, and more, along with productions from Jake One, D-Sane, Justo (The Physics), BeanOne, and… just get the album and find out.

VIDEO: The Bar’s “Coming (To America)”
Kenny’s was a burger place located at the Kam Shopping Center in Kalihi. What was also in Kalihi: the childhood home of comedian Augie Tulba. You know what else was in Kalihi? The bowling alley known as Kamehameha Bowl, a/k/a Kam Bowl, where Chuck Furuya had some ox tail soup with some of his chef friends. What was also ALSO in Kalihi: Prometheus Brown and Bambu, who are united as The Bar, and together they’ve made an album called Barkada (Beatrock music) that will be released next week Tuesday. The album touches on their Filipino-ness, their roots in Hawai’i and Los Angeles, a Pacific and West Coast feel, and so much more. The album was self-proclaimed as a cross between “Nas’ Illmatic and Yall So Stupid’s Van Full of Pakistans.” Now, I’m not a big fan of Illmatic but the moment anyone compares themselves or their music to Van Full Of Pakistans, I’m sold 1000 times. “Coming (To America)” was produced by Seattle producer Justo, who you may know for his work as a member of The Physics.

BEST OF 2012: My favorite music videos of the year
Let me say this off the top: this is not a list of every single music video that was made in 2012. Making a video is now the norm these days, and at times the amount of videos I have a chance in posting is overwhelming. What this is is a listing of my favorites of music videos I have seen and enjoyed. It could be due to the artist, it could be due to the song, it could be a mixture of both, plus some visuals that I found pleasing to my eyes and thus the mind. I did not have a specific video I felt was the absolute best, but I felt these stood out for whatever reason.

VIDEO: Prometheus Brown & Bambu’s “Lookin’ Up”
You may or may not find them in a blog featuring old school photos of them wearing Kangols, but you’ll definitely see and hear them in this video they did together for a track called “Lookin’ Up”, produced by Fatgums. The song is from the album Prometheus Brown and Bambu Walk Into A Bar, featuring an album cover that is very honorable for those of us sourced from the Pacific Rim.

VIDEO: Bambu featuring Prometheus Brown’s “Slow Down”
Sometimes you have to wait awhile to find quality hip-hop, and here’s why the phrase “patience comes to those who wait” is appropriate. Here’s a new track by Bambu where he teams up with Blue Scholars‘ Prometheus Brown. Aisus, indeed!
