Playin For Keeps

Wara brought the whole crew down to the Dojo for this one. I feel like we are keeping with a New York theme with these last 2 posts. I really dig this one. It almost reminds me of a toned down version of earlier Busta Rhymes visuals. Maybe a little less toony but still with a feel that is not the casual day in the life visuals most artist tend to go for. It looks to me to have a little Tarantino maybe Wes Anderson feel in this one. Not completely sure I’m not a true film buff. My only criticism is I wish it was longer. Maybe a little hand to hand. It just seems like it’s over so quickly but maybe that a testament to how entertaining Larry and Left Hand Mitch are. Nice work Wes Sherwin. S/O to the Playin’ For Keeps crew. @warafromthenbhd / @larry_marcel / @LEFTHANDMITCH

Very rare that we get to see a raw jam session from a hip hop artist now a days but we do know that Wara has always had a thing for live instrumentation and who better than iNDEED to back him. LMRPT2 (the acronym standing for Let Me Ride Part 2) was originally produced by Snubnose Frankenstein who is slowly becoming one of my favorite producers of the scene (He’s got a little rapper in him too so beware.) Wonder if this will be on Ill Street Blues II (not even sure if that’s the name of his next effort or if I just made that up.) SideNote: Prowled my way into the GO! RICKY GO! listening party for Dick Brown’s Tall Tails of Foxy Cotton Tail the other day at Threadz boutique and I was extremely impressed with what I heard. Really great stuff. It’s kind of cool to see that the INDEED artist can hold there own separately as well. A rare feat for a band. S/O to the whole Playin For Keeps Family. @warafromthenbhd / @iNDEEDface / @snubdogg / @GORICKYGO / @WaltLive
