DJ Jazzy Jeff gets a Brand New Funky Video, Hezekiah & Bilal, interview w/ Common, Spank Rock live video, Prince at Montreux
DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Peedi
Yesterday OKPdan caught up with The Magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff at the LRG photo shoot in Soho. Jeff gave us word that they shot the video for “Brand New Funk 2K7″ featuring Peedi Peedi this week in Philly. We can’t wait to see it, but for now we’ll just have to keep listening.
Philly’s own Hezekiah is set to release his sophmore LP I Predict A Riot this September on Rawkus/Soulspazm Records. Listen to “Looking Up” featuring Bilal for a taste of what to expect. The video for this single has been shot and wrapped too so stay tuned for that, coming soon. LA Okps, catch Hez live tomorrow night at On The Rox!
It’s only common sense that Pitchfork would want an interview with the man behind Finding Forever. Read up and see what Common has to say about music, “American Idol”, his appearance in a Gap commercial, and his spirituality. TODAY is THE LAST day to win the special pre-order pack which will include DJ Soul’s new Common mixtape. We’ll be announcing the WINNING title of the mixtape on Friday.
Yesterday we posted info on our friends Spank Rock in the update. Today, HighVoltage was kind enough to link us to some video of his live show! Just click on “concerts” and look under Hip-Hop. Also worth watching is footage from another rising talent, Jneiro Jarrel, cataloged under Hip-Hop as well.
PRINCE. The albums post, part II. Posts like this always remind me why I love Okayplayer (plus there’s the treats!). Anyone interested in rubbing salt in my wounds, read on about Prince’s performance at The Montreux Jazz Festival this past Monday.
