[Music Video] Watch The Duck – Poppin’ Off In Atlanta

This is a good one, ‘SoulDubstep’ as they term it by new crew from the A, Watch The Duck. Think Zeds Dead meets Chicago juke music proponents, BBU with Mystikal (or is that a Pharrell/N*E*R*D influence??) hollerin’ over top. Video features the DragonHouse dancers. I digs. What y’all think though??

Introducing new artist Mingus Murray….

This is highly recommended if you dig Prince, Hendrix, Flying Lotus, Dam-Funk etc. In other words, black music that likes to walk on the left-hand side of things, so to speak. Shout to the homie, C. Wade for putting me up on this.

Introducing Roney + Nani – Dirty Sick (Video) / Take It Off + Put You On Hold (MP3’s)

Never heard of this group before even though they have actually played my boy, Chilly’s Rollin’ & Scratchin’ party in the past. I came up on them from screening submissions for this summer’s NXNE (you can still submit, deadline is tomorrow). Honestly, the dude vocalist is kind of mediocre but she sounds (and looks) good, the beats (which are more hipster, electro-club fresh than some straight-up hip hop ish) are great, the songs are fun & catchy and they’re local plus look at the video! Their swag is pretty unf-ckwittable!

Download their brand new Black Success mixtape at their website HERE. Hit the jump for another track too.
