Tonedeff -Glutton EP

For those that do not know, I've been a fan of Tonedeff and the whole Qn5 Music squad for over ten years. I'm a fan and I know some of my friends have been annoyed by me trying to put them on to them. Some of them enjoyed them and their live performances, while others just heard them whenever I played it. If you're a fan of quality good music then I will forward you to it. Tonedeff started off as a hip hop artist and grown into a full musician. The reason I say that is he makes music of different genres, adopting all of them for his own pleasure. 

Yes, he raps, but it's not that he just creates hip hop, especially with his latest project. His newest EP, "GLUTTON", is the newest Tonedeff project in 8 years. His sound is completely different compared to his debut album Archetype. This EP has more dance/electronic tracks with a more adult theme. I tweeted that his song "Filthy" is the XXX version of "Pervert". As much as a fan favorite Pervert is, this should definitely knock the boots off people who listen to this with it's sexually charged lyrics and it's porn vibrating bass beat. "Centerfold" is probably my favorite song, which has inspired me to work more on my more pin up illustrations. 

The music has substance and you should listen to it over and over. You can listen to it for free on his bandcamp or you can make a donation this an artist who has put his time to make quality music. This project is 1/4 of his full album entitled "Polymer".  It combines all the EPs that will be released as 1 full album with other goodies. You can purchase that here. 

If you ever wonder one of the influences to provide you with quality and awesome products, Qn5 music is one of them.

Oh, in case you haven't see Tonedeff with his own Branded Baron tee, here you go.

Qn5 Megashow '11 Recap

Hey Everyone! Yes, before I post the recap of the Branded Baron Pop Up Shop, I wanted to let you know about the ridiculously awesome hip hop show done by the artists at Qn5 music. If you have never seen or heard of Tonedeff, Cunninlynguists, Substantial, Kokayi, Mr. SoS, and PackFM you're missing out. They make good music and I mean that. Yes, I'm a fan, but they do make some good music and are worth listening to. They all do shows, but only once a year do they have a megashow with the whole roster. What other label puts on a show with all of their artists performing? On top of that, I think they can out perform anyone. Just check out the video to see what you missed out.

Here are some pictures as well.

Music Monday: Cunninlynguists "Looking Back" acoustic f Anna Wise of Sonnymoon

It is Music Monday and I thought it would be appropriate to show you guys a video of one of my favorite hip hop groups, the Cunninlynguists. I still believe they have one of the greatest names, but XXL thought it was one of the worst names a couple of years ago. Whatever. I've been a fan since I was a sophomore in high school I believe. Yea, I've been a fan of theirs for about 9 or 10 years. I think they've progressed from their early days of straight rappity rap to making mature music. Kno is one of the greatest producers and always lays down a great beat. Deacon the Villain, Kno, and the newest member Natti always do their thing on the microphone. Another thing I always liked is they always have some very well illustrated album covers.

The video I posted is an acoustic performance from their 5th studio album "Oneirology". This video features Anna Wise of Sonnymoon singing. You can listen to their entire album on their bandcamp page and you can purchase it from there as well. All of their albums, mixtapes, and singles are on that bandcamp page. You can find out more of this Southern hip hop group and other of my favorite hip hop artists at http://qn5.com/
