New Video: Jellyfish Brigade for Best Love is Free 3

23 Jan

In case you haven’t been able to figure it out yet from my numerous Facebook, Twitter, or even previous site posts, I am in love with Jellyfish Brigade.

A good friend introduced me to the group last year and I’ve been obsessed since. It didn’t take long for me to connect with the wonderful Lucas Dix (also of Hives Inquiry Squad) and urge him to submit to The Best Love Is Free, ran by the amazing Botzy in Culture Cry Wolf. Not only has a rap friendship blossomed, but the two got together to make this video for the song “Sunflowers” in promotion for The Best Love Is Free 3, due out in just a few short weeks. And, rumor has it there will be more collaboration work from the two artists in the future. (Don’t worry, I’ll keep you updated.)

Check out the video below. Then head over to Jellyfish’s bandcamp to hear more of their music.

The Best Love Is Free 3 concert is set for February 11 at the Fine Line in Minneapolis. Performers include Culture Cry Wolf, Toki Wright, Crunchy Kids, K.Flay, and more. Check out the event page here and get your tickets!

New Video: Sims

13 Sep

 The always-impressive Doomtree camp just released a new video for Sims‘ “LMG”, a personal favorite off his latest full-length, Bad Time Zoo.

Matt Scharenbroich is the mastermind behind the beautiful video, compiled of “tripped out vizualz and 1,600 hand drawn pieces of paper” (according to the Doomtree website). It’s a great representation of Sims and allows an extra visual-emphasis on his descriptive lyrics. I wouldn’t expect anything less from the talented group.

You can pick up a FREE copy of the Wildlife EP, a promotional release from Sims, by clicking here. Be sure to catch Sims on tour with Lazerbeak and Cecil Otter at these dates.

In the meantime, check out the video below.

New Video: Culture Cry Wolf

12 Sep

My super rad friends over in Culture Cry Wolf released a brand new video today for their new single, “Day of the Dead”

You may remember these guys from Soulcrate’s summer kick-off show back in May, a special El-Raedio episode, or the numerous rap parties they throw up in Minneapolis. Either way, they rule, and you should definitely get to know them.

Check out the video below, and be sure to grab a pre-order of their newest album,  Dia de los Muertos, over at their website. You won’t be disappointed.

 

Out Now: Prof’s “King Gampo”

16 Aug

It’s finally here! The long-awaited album from Minneapolis’ Prof dropped today for (gasp!) FREE!

The album was definitely worth the wait and contains 16 new and banging tracks for your enjoyment. It even features a beat from Sioux Falls’ own DJ Absolute (Soulcrate Music). The tracks are catchy as hell (seriously, try not to get “Yeah Buddy” stuck in your head) and, in true Prof style, impossibly upbeat and fun.

Download the album here and be sure to keep up-to-date with all Stophouse news here.

Prof will be in Sioux Falls on October 1 with Grieves. If you can’t wait till then, I highly suggest a trip to First Avenue in Minneapolis on Sept. 9 for his CD release show with openers Blueprint, Soulcrate Music, and the Get Cryphy DJs.

Minneapolis Trip Recap: Buck Out

17 Feb

Last weekend I traveled up to Minneapolis to see my rap family and attend a couple magnificent shows.

Friday night was Cryphy and out of control (and not just because of the Four Loko). It was great to see such a huge turnout and annoy some people on the dance floor with my white girl moves. I highly suggest everyone attend a Cryphy at least once in their life. Peep their website to get some amazing mixes for your house parties, road trips, and everything in between. (more…)
