'ViRGO' Track Breakdown!

'ViRGO' Track Breakdown!

Here we’re going to give you a track by track break down of the mixtape. You know us Virgo's are going to go above and beyond for you!

1: SEPTEMBER (Intro)

Produced by Viper with skit edits by Lekhem, this was the perfect vibe to kick off the mixtape.

2: THE SIXTH SENSE

This song kicks off the mixtape with one of the best ways that Korshun and Lekhem know how to, LYRICISM! Taebeast provides the music backdrop as we both “tear into the mic”.

3: COOL DOWN ViRGO

From the very first drop of this song you’ll be grooving to it with tight production from LP Hoodz. Released as part of the promotional package, this is a very catch song that grabs attention very quickly.

4: PROMETHEUS

Produced by Venom Productions infusing the Greek Mythology story of Prometheus with Hip Hop, this concept helped to shape the entire mixtape. A hard hitting song with a very strong point.

5: SERVING THAT

One of the hype tracks on the mixtape with probably the most infectious hook of the whole project! A real fun, gritty sound with powerful vocals with a great message. It shows the determination and drive of an artist, and also touches on one of the potential vices that an artist could face.

6: LOOK EASY

A song that can be perceived as being extremely cocky but in all honesty that is further from the truth. It’s simply stating that we can do what we do, very well, and make it just “look easy”. ViRGO ha ha

7: DANCE WITH ME

Produced by Renzaboy, this is a favourite among a lot of people. First featured on Korshun’s ‘Valenrhymes’ mixtape and after all the response we thought that it would only be right to bring it onto the ViRGO project. This song details the thoughts that go through a man’s head whilst on the dancefloor.

8: ROMANTIC ILLUSIONS

Virgo males are often seen by people as very cold and emotionless, which is one of the biggest myths around. This song right here helps to diffuse that idea. With smooth and soulful production from Taebeast, giving the perfect backdrop.

9: MUSIC (Interlude)

A bit of fun by Korshun. Not much can really be said or broken down about this, just listen and enjoy lol 

10: MUSIC

Straight up feel good music. Myke Forte’s production on this fits perfectly with the concept which makes for a very smooth and entertaining song.

11: SMOKING WEED

This song is exactly as it says on the title. One for the smokers. Packed with energetic flows, it’s definitely one to enjoy a session to. Lekhem and Korshun display 2 different ways in which a person would feel to do what the titles says.

12: STICKY DANCEFLOOR

Closing the mixtape with some energetic production from Jacob Levin, this is a lively way to close off the project. One for the clubs without a doubt! BANGER!!!!!!

What’s Good People!

If you caught #TheSauce from the ESP camp last week, you'll know we announced the 'VIRGO' mixtape, that is the duo act with Myself and Korshun (R2S), will be out early this September.

I can now officially announce that the release date for my second tagteam mixtape of the year, will be

 5^th September 2012!

This tape will boast credits from UK and International producers and will be jam packed with the storytelling ability that both Korshun and myself possess. One thing I am sure of is that the content and concepts that will be on this body of work will be of the highest level.

VIRGO will feature tracks that speak on the best Zodiac sign in the calendar ;-) and also various avenues and experiences of life. There will be something on this tape for everyone, from the ladies to the hip hop heads and everything inbetween!

Speaking on the project, Korshun added:

"With this mixtape, I'm looking to represent the traits of a Virgo to the fullest. What you see is what you get and if you don't get that...Ah well!"

So there you have it...Look out for more details coming to you very soon!

For a reminder of what these two cook up in the booth, check out 'Dance With Me', taken from Korshun's 'Valenrhymes' mixtape earlier this year:

'Valenrhymes' is available on 'The Food' now...

'Where Da Real At' Videoshoot...

'Where Da Real At' Videoshoot...

Yesterday we shot the video shoot for ‘Where Da Real At’, a fan favourite from the ‘KROnicles Of IntelLEK’ mixtape with Krome, featuring Seta (Trend). This track is fully bred in West London as all 3 of the artists all reign from the left side of the map, along with the producer of the record, Bulg. Shot around various parts of West London with MCTV; the video stays true to the concept of ‘showing where the real is at’.

In traditional fashion, all the members from the team that were able to make it down to the shoot and we gathered at ‘The HQ’ before linking up with Michael from MCTV and getting underway with the shooting. MAJOR props goes out to hi;, a very calm and collected brother who’s very professional with a creative eye. He did a lot of great work throughout the day; was patient and went above and beyond the expected more than once. Very much looking forward to the final product!

 

I’m not going to give too much away about locations as I want you all to go and watch the video, a few times in fact; when it comes out! Is there a possibility to a sequel of the video? You never know ;) Having Reginald, Culprit, TrixCity, Korshun, Evo at the shoot lead to an afternoon of work that was filled with banter, jokes and general mischief that comes with all of us. There were so many random freestyles, beat-boxing, pranks etc that happened on-set, do not be surprised if you see some hilarious random footage coming out as well...

I want to thank everyone involved that helped to make the day a success. We battled through some bad weather and made what could have been a negative into a few positive points.

Look out for the ‘Where Da Real At’ video coming very soon! And if you haven’t already, please download the ‘KROnicles Of IntelLEK’ mixtape.

Until the next time!

1Love
