New Charmingly Ghetto music "Kickz-N-Starez EP"

Hey everyone! Yes, I know I've been missing in action and I might elaborate on that in a later post, but this post is to let you know about some new music from Charmingly Ghetto. Listen to this and enjoy.

"With much momentum gained in 2012, Charmingly Ghetto is back in rotation with a seven-track EP presented by The Mad Bloggers and Heyday Footwear. Yet again, C.G. extends his collaborative efforts and creates an international product with Kickz-N-Starez.

Production credits on this tape range from East to West domestically, and reach over the pond to France and Germany. C.G. continues to flow flawlessly over instrumentals, with guest features from ScienZe, Maya Azucena and Lyric Jones."

To me this music has a late night listening vibe to it, whether you're chillin in your room relaxing or cruising in your car. "Simple Days" is a cool track featuring Brooklyn's hip hop artist Scienze.

The Good Vibes Tour Brooklyn Recap

Hey, Everyone! I hope you're all good this evening. On Monday night I went to the Good Vibes Tour Brooklyn show and had a good time. Charmingly Ghetto gave me the heads up about the show last week and I decided to roll through to show support. I had a good time and was able to see some artists from Boston, Brooklyn, and Los Angeles. My friend Lori, from Cavata Clothing told me her friend/sponsored artist Natural was performing, so I thought it'll be another artist on the bill that I know to support.
   I arrived in the middle of Natural's set and saw him do his thing and the amount of people there for a show on a Monday night wasn't bad. I brought my camera to take some photos and record the performances of the show for the video recap that you see above. After Natural performed L.A.'s Radio rocked on stage with Shema Jones. The performance was cool and I gave my props after the show and I have the cd Radio gave me in my car. Charmingly Ghetto was next up and he did his thing and it's good to see him back in Brooklyn performing again. For those that don't know, C.G. performed back at the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival by opening up the performances after winning the Show & Prove competition. He's a chill dude and definitely looking to find ways to always get better, when he asked for my feedback of his performance after the show. C.G. will definitely be a rapper that is earning his dues and someone you'll want to check out. Dutch Rebelle, another Boston rapper follow Charmingly Ghetto and she was fun to watch. Most of the people I've never seen or heard of and I have to keep an open mind, because I have no idea how good or bad anyone is going to be and Dutch Rebelle was good. She had good energy and interacted with the crowd and showed female rappers aren't garbage and can hang if not better with the male counterparts. The final set was Divine Scienze consisting of Scienze and King I Divine who just had a badass set. Once King I Divine started playing the first beat, it had everyone in the head bopping their head, then the Scienze just killed it. The performance was on point and brought the energy that you need in a live show. It was cool that their was a cypher in the middle of the set and it was party at the end with a Soul Train Line. Overall, I had a good time and I was glad I made it out to watch this show.
    I'm actually listening to the Good Vibes mix tape as I type this out and you may want to check it out, it's a free download or you can stream it, whatever you like. Click here to listen. You can listen to the following artists here:

F-ing Awesome Music video by Jay Wise

What's going on?! I want to share this awesome music video with you all. The homie Jay Wise worked on this song and had a cool music video that compliments his style very well. Here's a little tidbit, the "F-ing Awesome" tees you see were printed by Branded Baron. Due to all the "f bombs" this song isn't suitable for work, so I wouldn't blast it. Enjoy.

Brooklyn Hip Hop Recap - Photos

Hey Everyone! I know I should've posted this a couple weeks ago after the event, but it's better late than never. I'd like to thank all the people that supported the brand. The overall event was cool and Busta Rhymes killed his performance. He brought out Slick Rick, A Tribe Called Quest, Buckshot, and reunited with his Leaders of a New School members to perform during his set. Check out some of the pictures from that day.

Brooklyn Bodega's "Show & Prove" winner Charmingly Ghetto. I saw his performance and he definitely did his thing on his stage.

It made sense that the Brooklyn Nets were there.

The graphic designer who designed the cover of the book she's holding. The booth next to ours contained all these novels and she designed the covers for all.

You can see people on top trying to catch of Busta Rhymes

It's like a Zombie Apocalypse. The cover for the fence came down and people outside of the festival were looking in.

One of my favorite hip hop artists, Tonedeff of Qn5 Music and the latest podcast "Tacos & Chocolate Milk" with PackFM(who's booth was next to mine-I'm a big fan if you didn't know) Both Tonedeff and PackFM were definitely inspiration when I was working on Branded Baron designs and I'm very happy to see Tonedeff now own a Branded Baron tee.  I highly recommend you check out his work as well as everyone on the Qn5 roster.

Busta kept performing even when they cut the miss and the crowd rapped along with him. It was a very cool moment and you have to have a lot of command over the crowd to be able to do so.
