9th Wonder & Buckshot present their third video off THE FORMULA in stores now. The 3-D animation piece for the title track is a positive and unique image, which reveals that the true FORMULA is within Buckshot himself. Directed by Bill Green and Antman
This music video will examine 3 different perspectives of struggle for 3 different individuals (Buckshot, Talib & 9th Wonder) and how they all intersect within the same environment. We open on Buckshot walking down the street. He sees a Bootlegger on the corner of the street. Upon further inspection he finds the Bootlegger selling Duck Down CDs. Buckshot confronts the Bootlegger which sparks an argument drawing the attention of cops on patrol. The cops, seeing the potential altercation, rush the scene letting the bootlegger get away and wrongfully apprehending Buckshot. Buckshot is visually upset, aggressively pleading his case but the cops aren’t listening and physically haul him away into their vehicle without explanation.

… it better be Absolute Value, the new album from Akrobatik. In Stores February 19th, 2008
Akrobatik, Boston mainstay and one-third of critically acclaimed hip-hop collective The Perceptionists, is set to release his new album Absolute Value on Fat Beats Records on February 19th, 2008.
Absolute Value is the long awaited follow-up to 2003’s Balance, which established Akrobatik as an essential part of the Boston hip-hop scene. In 2005, Akrobatik translated his regional acclaim into national success as part of The Perceptionists. Their DefJux release, Black Dialogue, was acclaimed for its resounding criticisms of bandwagon pop culture and the Bush regime and became the only indie-rap project to register on Rolling Stone’s Top 50 Records of the Year list. Akrobatik’s success then led to a recording contract with Fat Beats Records, who will be releasing Absolute Value. (more…)
