Here comes the finishing line…

Wednesday, October 26th, 2011

“Empty Pockets vol. 1″ has recently headed to the mastering process. Chicago’s lost son DJ Theory has been planted on the West Coast for nearly a decade and has compiled two handfuls of vicious production, while emcee’s Ric Scales and Blest Brando bring signature styles to the table to lyrically impress a broad audience of listeners. Driven by golden era Hip-Hop and crunchy production, these gentlemen have invited few but powerful guest appearances. Looking toward Ian Crosby for his soulful vocal presence and ridiculous double time bars that can actually be dissected, revealing a monster lyricist. Adding to the dynamic, label family member D.Dove has brought her unique delivery and raw personality to the table, completing all the necessary ingredients needed for the meal. Giving you a quality plate of beats and rhymes comparable to a five star meal in your favorite hood restaurant. Meaning all the fun, without the need to sell your soul. So you can vibe the fuck out without being ashamed of not being a millionaire. ”SWAG”, “MAKE IT RAIN”, and other bullshit phrases have given you a reason to forget about real Hip-Hop music. Our brand of music was made for and by those in a struggle. Not for and by those who frivolously  throw away money on women, jewelry, and other materialistic purchases. We welcome you to be proud of your Empty Pockets. Enjoy the album.

Blest Brando – Wonderland

Friday, June 24th, 2011

Wonderland was created after listening to a CD of production from Davey One Day. Halfway through Blest Brando noticed a track compiled with a moving melody and intriguing bird chirps. Immediately following were breaks and very apparent vocal samples. Alice in Wonderland had been brought to life in beat format. After a clouded session and some tasty beverages a movie became notes, notes turned to bars and bars became a song. Creative ideas of a music video using footage from Disney’s version were discussed often. When the idea became a reality Blest Brando’s Wonderland emerged.
