‘Easy Rider’
Vice Records

It’s so rare to see a hip hop video in 2014 that isn’t crammed full of bikini clad women, shaking what their mothers gave them to a crew of leching young men in bucket hats, exhaling blunt smoke from their noses and waving $100 bills around like they just don’t care. In fact, it’s rare to see any music video with such fine attention to detail and all round good taste as Action Bronson‘s new cinematic masterpiece, ‘Easy Rider’. Inspired by the movie of the same name, director Tom Gould has crammed as much jaw-dropping action into five minutes as you’d suspect to endure throughout an entire Tarantino flick.

From the opening scene depicting a crazed Bronson, hurling machine gun fire into a warzone whilst screaming, “don’t let me die!”, to the closing shot of his Christ The Redeemer stance atop a desert mountain to a sunset back drop, this video has got more guitar solo’s, bar-brawls, Harley Davidson’s and acid trips than you could shake a stick at. Could this be the best hip hop video of the year?

‘Easy Rider’ is taken from Action Bronson’s forthcoming album, Mr Wonderful, due later this year via Vice Records.

Dilated Peoples

DILATEDPEOPLES_DIRECTORS_OF_PHOTOGRAPHYDilated Peoples
Directors of Photography
Rhymesayers Entertainment

Dilated Peoples are back and to mark their 5th collaboration, the West coast’s finest Hip Hop crew have linked up with Rhymesayers Entertainment, offering new freedom for emcee’s Rakaa, Evidence and DJ Babu.

Dilated have hit the ground running with opening track ‘Directors’. The deep piano loop of which is more akin to early Mobb Deep drops big hints at what to expect from Directors of Photography. ‘Cut My Teeth’ is a homage to where this crew came from, with ‘Good As Gone’ proving that Dilated are still standing tall. Featuring beats from 9th Wonder, Diamond D and DJ Premier, the album holds serious depth and texture, but Aloe Blacc’s guest vocal appearance on radio friendly single ‘Show Me The Way’ is a sure wild card.

Evidence leads on the mic on the majority of the record and Rakaa is happy to let him shine. It’s clear Evidence has had room to grow as an artist after his solo album and the Lord Steppington release and Directors of Photography shows he’s massively upped the ante as an OG on the mic. Where the real harmony of Directors of Photography lays though, is with Babu’s seasoning of Hip Hop authenticity on the 1200s, providing a seamless link between all the tracks on the record.

Although this is a summer release, this feels like a winter album. The cold beats that ice over ‘The Dark Room’ frame the story telling with a a paranoid edge. This album also holds a constant photographic theme, inspiring the writing, scratches and samples to timecode their development and underline where Dilated are at in their lives and careers. Directors of Photography wont disappoint at any level – this is Dilated Peoples moment of truth, a must own for fans of any era of Hip Hop.

Goat

Devout fans of GOAT through and through, last months news of a new album met our eyes and ears with utter delight.

Hide From The Sun‘, the first offering from Commune, blew our minds. Therefore, you must waste no time in feasting your ears on second single ‘Words’ immediately.

Naturally, ‘Words’ is a psychedellic affair. GOATs persistent drum pounding evokes guitar tones akin to that of a spaceship taking off, however, this track clocks out at just two and a half minutes. Surely a fade-out that is set to fade right back in to something deadly on the album, head to Dalston’s Alibi on Friday August 15th to experience the first public airing of Goat’s new album.
