3Stripes x Anacron | Crackin'
3Stripes x Anacron | Crackin'
Written and performed by Anacron (http://AnacronMusic.com)
Produced and arranged by 3Stripes (http://The3Stripes.com)
Never back down, forever stand up
Tough it out, hold it in, grit teeth, be down, and man up
We ain't nothing like these other brothers out here
Peaceful protesters, out to sing, picket, and cheer
So don't compare us to these lames driven with fear
We came gripping the gear to bring kicking to rears
"By Any Means Necessary" is the practice
We'll overcome your special weapons and tactics
You represent the 1%? Rep a righteous fraction
It's us against injustices...
LET'S GET IT CRACKIN'
These fools bangin' on wax, bangin' on tracks,
bangin' via satellite, internet, phone, and fax
Bringing little facts, they're slanging a gaggle of lies
Tangled in battles with guys that can't even rattle a fly
Yard bullies, fully cowards inside
Acting like their watches broken when it reach the hour to ride
But UNFAMOUS folks is brainless when it's finna' happen
We got nada to lose...
LETS GET IT CRACKIN'
Never back down, forever stand up
Tough it out, hold it in, grit teeth, be down, and man up
You've got to defend your reality
and fight for what's right, despite the reaction
I'd rather die on my feet
than live on my back, and...
LET'S GET IT CRACKIN'

Anacron | Weirdos
With a dedication to the art of B-Boying on almost everything I've released since 1994, it's only right that I drop something for the breakers that have innovated styles over the same time period. Representing my crews LA Breakers and BrickHeadZ over some mid-tempo slaps from esteemed underground beatmaker Nocturnal Ron; "Weirdos" is a little something for the breakers bred in the grittiest ciphers, not on sparkling mainstream stages.

Anacron | Unfamous Mindframe | ft. DJ Daze Uno (Prod. by Diles)
http://AnacronMusic.com
"Unfamous Mindframe" Official Music Video
Art and Direction by Christophe Roberts http://christopheroberts.com
Filming and Cinematography by Zubaer Khan http://zubaerkhan.com
Editing and erratic hand motions by Anacron
It's been far too long since I've delivered an official visual for you AnaManiacs. With several forthcoming music video productions halted in mid-production, I decided to take matters into my own hands. As they say, "if you want something done right, do it yourself."
On a recent trip to to the East Coast, my team made magic happen within a few free hours of a busy schedule. My NYC-based PNTGLLRYNTWRK crew members and good friends and I rallied an idea to create a visual for my latest collaboration with Daze and Diles; as it thoroughly identifies all of our artistic hustles.
Christophe Roberts (aka Perv One) is a known visual artist and sculptor, who's work can be seen all over New York and in magazines. Zubaer Khan (aka DJZu) is a seasoned cinematographer & editor that's flexed his skill for everyone from Revolt TV to CBS, and has worked on a few of my previous projects. The Brazilian homie Mauricio Tadashi (aka ChiliBreakz), the owner of the Original US merchandising and accessories company, showed up for support and good vibes. If you're up on your Peanut Gallery crew history, then you should be familiar with all of these brothas.
The result of our combined efforts is a simple, yet masterful piece. Filmed on location in Brooklyn, NY; the imagery is reminiscent of the basic freshness of early 90's styling and visuals. After watching this PNTGLLRYNTWRK family production, you'll understand the lyric, "...new Peanut Gallery / So Golden Era."
Thanks for watching... Comment, share, and ENJOY.

You know how I do. It's been about a month, so it's about that time to hit you with something new. Although, with all the saxophoning, singing, and instrumentation I've been doing lately; I thought it'd be best to let the next public heater be a good old-fashioned boom-bap beats and raps cut for my core fan-base -- the true blue underground hip hop heads.
Enter: "Unfamous Mindframe." You've seen it on events, you've heard it on records, you've even seen the logo on merchandise. On this, my second collaboration with ABQ-based producer Diles, I decided to take some time to explain what exactly "UNFAMOUS" means. For those that haven't gotten it up until now, this is the song that will open your eyes, ears, and mind to the UNFAMOUS movement, and why you should be involved.
In addition to all the goodness in it, what pure rap song is complete without a visit from my favorite DJ, The OG Daze Uno? Press play and turn the speakers up, this one's going to knoc your socs off.
