JDott Trife | Homicide | Official Video | Chicago

Although the title is very bold and straight forward "Homicide" is not a song glorifying violence and gang culture but simply raising awareness of the current Homicides in the inner city of Chicago. The video shows the day in a life of a young teenage boy growing up in a inner city Chicago neighborhood and how he is influenced by " Hustler lifestyle" which ultimately leads him to an early demise.



The video was shot and edited by Sense Hernandez of Beast Factory.
The song was written by JDott Trife and produced by Nascent & Q.B

This song is off JDott Trife's upcoming Indie album "FYF - The Plug" due out on June 4th, 2013. The project features Astonish, Calliko, Lungz, Blanco Caine, Bodi Deeder and production from DJ O- ZoNe , Nascent & Q.B and Wes P.

"The Narcissist" performed by American Antagonist. Theme music from the motion picture KEVIN HART: LET ME EXPLAIN opening in theaters on July 3, 2013
Label: Artist Live / Kevinhart Nation Music

"The Narcissist"
Every competitive person has a narcissistic side to them. KEVIN HART IS ONE OF THE MOST COMPETITIVE PEOPLE IVE EVER SEEN. His drive and focus is the reason why he is #1 at what he does. He inspired me to create this song. "The Narcissist " is giving yourself the push,the energy, the confidence to tell yourself "I'm the best!" No one else can look in the mirror & tell you that but you! Sometimes its ok to simply just feel yourself!!!



The American Antagonist

Chicago native Big T came to out VladTV headquarters and sat down with our battle rap journalist Michael Hughes for an exclusive interview.

He was asked about how he thinks Cheif Keef could maintain his fame and remain in the spotlight without letting his street ties get the best of him. Big T reminisced on his own struggles and how he used battle rap as a way out of the everyday hood life. He thought back to times where he started out having to carry weapons to his battles for safety reasons, and how he's now rapping in front of large crowds for good money all-the-while increasing his level of fame worldwide.

Epicly Later'd: Brandon Westgate (Part 1, 2, 3) | SkateLife

Brandon Westgate's part in Stay Gold was fucking awesome. To people really paying attention, this was not much of a surprise—he's been killing it for about 6 years now. Brandon is usually the kind of person that people write about by saying "he lets his skating do the talking," and that really doesn't work for our purposes, so Patrick went up to Wareham and coaxed Brandon into talking about cranberry bogs, lawn mower parts, and dentists who trade Vicodins for BJs.



Part 2
You know when the Dalai Lama dies and all the older monks go out and scour the country side for his reincarnation? That's kind of what Steve Rodriguez does every time someone is poached from his team. Instead of laying out bells, glasses, and other assorted Lama possessions on a blanket to see if any of the young Lama candidates recognize them, Steve has a demo at Solstice Skate Shop in New Bedford, Massachusetts and lets the next big thing skateboarding come to him.



Part 3
In this particular episode of the Brandon Westgate series, not only is the skating the gnarliest, but an old lady tries to impede his efforts in constructing the perfect video part.

This Is What Winning Looks Like (Part 3/3)

"This Is What Winning Looks Like" is a disturbing new documentary about the ineptitude, drug abuse, sexual misconduct, and corruption of the Afghan security forces as well as the reduced role of US Marines due to the troop withdrawal. In part three, we see that the sad truth is, at the end of the day, we will be leaving behind ill-prepared security forces, which will likely lead to an increase in Taliban attacks, civilian casualties, and, overall, an increasingly dangerous and fragile nation.

This Is What Winning Looks Like (Trailer)

Ben Anderson went to Afghanistan in 2007 to make a film about the vicious fighting between underequipped British forces and the Taliban in Helmand, the country's most violent province. He didn't plan on staying for six years. But we're glad he did, because now we have This Is What Winning Looks Like, a disturbing new documentary about the ineptitude, drug abuse, sexual misconduct, and corruption of the Afghan government and its security forces as well as the role of US Marines during the troop withdrawal.

Screen Printing and Tile Making w/ Faile

We recently had the opportunity to collaborate with Brooklyn-based artists FAILE on their permanent installation, The 104 North 7th Project. The piece consists of thousands of handmade tiles designed by the artists, each individually pressed and painted, and then fired in a wood-burning kiln and shipped to the installation site. The tiles were then applied to the surface of the building by the artists and a team of helpers over several days.

Well known for their explorations of duality through a fragmented style of appropriation and collage, as well as their use of unique materials, FAILE have created a beautiful tapestry of color, giving life and personality to a very plain structure.

BANNED RADIO w/ Trae Tha Truth & Tony Rock | Coming 5/20/2013

Catch Banned Radio every Monday @ 7pm PST / 10pm CST starting May 20th on Skee 24/7! Visit Skee247.com or download the app @ http://bit.ly/skeeapp

Trae Tha Truth & Tony Rock Present BANNED Radio on Skee 24/7



Trae Tha Truth, an undisputed veteran of Southern hip hop and staple of the Houston community, alongside superstar comedian Tony Rock are happy to announce the launch of BANNED Radio on the Skee 24/7 Radio Network. Broadcasting live from Hollywood, CA on Skee 24/7 Radio starting Monday, May 20th, 2013, BANNED Radio can be heard live every Monday at 10pm EST/7pm PST (with on demand versions available immediately after).

BANNED Radio has been created partially in response to Trae's ban from commercial radio. With Skee having an established radio platform drawn from his 10+ years of radio experience, the alignment of Trae's BANNED Radio and Skee's network was natural.

"I'm more than excited to bring BANNED Radio to the fans," says Trae. "To be able to be back on the air is incredible. It's going to be huge, believe that."

"When Trae first brought the idea to me, I couldn't turn it down," stated Tony. "I've known Trae for a long time and to finally be able to work with him and create something unique is unbelievable."

"In keeping true to Skee 24/7's vision of giving artists a voice and platform, I'm extremely excited to welcome Trae back to radio on his own terms," stated DJ Skee. "Alongside one of the funniest comedians in the business, the chemistry between Tony and Trae is undeniable, and I can't wait for people to hear BANNED."

Trae's influence in the industry is unlike any other. With his larger-than-life influence and popularity in the city of Houston and the state of Texas, Trae has worked with the biggest names in music, including T.I., Future, Rick Ross, Game, Estelle, and countless others. Trae's street buzz and industry presence caught the attention of T.I., who signed the Texas rapper to his Grand Hustle imprint in 2012.

Trae's philanthropic efforts also go unmatched. After years of serving his Houston community, Trae was awarded his own local holiday in Houston, now known as Trae Day, which is recognized every year in the city of Houston.

American actor and stand-up comic Tony Rock has made his own contributions to the entertainment industry. With his brash but honest look at everyday life in his humor stemming from his New York childhood, Tony is recognized in the industry as a premier stand-up comedian, being featured on many respected comedy series and programs, including Comedy Central Presents, Apollo Live, Chelsea Lately, and more.

Skee 24/7 has grown to be the premier standard definition of online radio, boasting an unparalleled lineup of programs and music unlike any other. Trae & Tony join the station as hosts alongside other influencers in the radio and music industry like Crooked I, Caroline D'Amore, DJ Fingaz, and more, with more personalities lined up in the near future. Special guests to the station have included Wiz Khalifa, T.I., Kendrick Lamar, Paul Oakenfold, DJ Drama, DJ Aero, Tyga, Far East Movement, DJ Carnage, Problem, Rocko, actor Jon Huertas, Trinidad James, Mac Miller, and many, many others.

You can listen to BANNED Radio by downloading the free Skee 24/7 app for your smartphone or visiting Skee247.com.

Mobb Deep | 20th Anniversary Tour | Double Door | ReCap

So last night I went with Alex and Alex (Lol, really Alex and Alex), to Double Door to see Mobb Deep. The crowd was not familiar but I actually thought it was a good thing. Saw, Jerry Azumah, Jory, Shabazz and other heads. The opening acts that I got to see were not what I expected from a Mobb Deep show. One dude had a old David Terrell jersey, that I guess he borrowed from a fan or friend and took it off in the middle of his set, underneath he had a Miami College jersey that made the crowd boo. When I saw him with the jersey on I was wondering why, but in the end, he show me why, lol. The sound system was way to low for a concert, barely could hear what even Mobb Deep was saying. I felt like I couldn't hear vocals even standing 10 feet away. Having the mic low doesn't help the host interact with the crowd. I've been doing live shows and DJing for quite sometime and I also stay true to being a fan of Hip Hop as well as active in this culture. Not one time did I hear anyone on the mic say, can you hear clear out there, or how do I sound to the crowd. Hopefully I wasn't the only one who felt that way and need my ears checked. The only thing I liked was Mobb Deep played mad classics in there set and that made it worth it in the end. Other than that, promoters should be more selective in their opening acts. If its pay to play, they should at least.

Munchies | The Marrow

If you watch a lot of TV, you know Harold Dieterle from winning the first season of Top Chef. If you love food and eat out in New York often, then you know him from the three outstanding restaurants he owns: Perilla, Kin Shop, and his latest, the Marrow. Going into this episode, I thought because of Harold's experience with filming that this was going to be a piece of cake, and he would drop everything to tell the camera about how his love of cooking evolved from an early age, and blah blah blah, etc., etc. Instead, for the first hour of filming, he yelled a lot while juicing rhubarbs, and I was completely relieved. Harold chose his good friend John Fraser, of Dovetail, to join him at his usual haunt, Blue Ribbon, for some Yuzu Highs and fried chicken before getting a nightcap at their favorite bar, Daddy O. Enjoy.

Breakdancing & Fine Art w/ Rostarr

Romon Kimin Yang, aka Rostarr, is a painter, calligrapher, and filmmaker living and working in Brooklyn. He spent much of his early career focusing on painting and graphic design, blurring the lines between the two. For the past 15 years he has been more widely known for his abstract polymorphic paintings, sculptures, and black and white calligraphic drawings. Rostarr pushes all boundaries in his work, always striving to find freedom within style, medium, and form. He builds upon the visual language he calls "Graphysics," a word that exemplifies the geometric dynamism characteristic in his work. VICE recently met up with him in Mexico City as he prepared for his most recent solo show, Turbo Arena, at Anonymous Gallery. We sat down with him to discuss his style, techniques, and approach to art-making.

The Cumbiaton Super Stars of Mexico City

A group of Mexico City DJs known as "Under Style" has come together to create a new sound based on reggaeton and cumbia that they call Cumbiaton. Ignored by the affluent crowd, and often criticized for the fashion and dance styles of their fans, the Cumbiaton DJs are super stars in their neighborhoods. We like their music, and we are fascinated by their their lifestyle and sweaty parties full of adoring teenage fans. So we tagged along with the Understyle crew as they partied Ciudad Neza.
