Noah D ft. The Grouch - Just Right (Music Video)

In Noah D’s debut video “Just Right” (featuring the Grouch), we learn that sometimes you have to turn down the hot girl in your apartment while you master your craft behind the mixing board. Such is the life for Noah D, who has traded in the blistering distorted drop of most dubstep-affiliated DJs and went another route -- turning subtle samples into behemoth audio. And it works.

With his roots in the rapid-fire world of drum and bass, Noah D has since expanded his lexicon of genres. His full-length debut -- the aptly titled “Perspective” due April 10 via 12th Planet’s Smog imprint -- dabbles in everything from hip-hop to hints of R&B, dancehall and menacing cinematic horns matched with a James Bond-esque feeling of thrill throughout. It’s a fascinating collision of ideas, all the pieces of which have been masterfully put back together to unveil a fantastic debut album.

The Grouch + Evidence + Zion I + Eligh - Amp Live For President (Music Video)

Z&G&E (Zion I, The Grouch and Eligh) and Evidence birthed a dope song and video this past month while on the road together! The guys just finished the extremely successful (mostly sold out) 19 city "How The Grouch Stole Christmas Tour". 

"The response has been overwhelming and we just wanted to give the people a little gift for the holidays" says The Grouch about the free download. 

Amp Live of Zion I made the beat and the song was complete when Evidence recorded his verse backstage at the Fox Theatre in Boulder Colorado. We shot the video at the venue right before our show in Sacramento. DJ Icewater did the cuts. 

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Kwanza or whatever it is you choose to celebrate! Directed by Michael Sato.
