NOISEY Bompton: Live from Rosecrans (Part 3)

Compton is full of up-and-coming rap talent, some of which can be seen on the cover of Kendrick Lamar's 'To Pimp a Butterfly.' Artists like Boogie, Jay Worthy, Hitta J3, and Kalifornia King Special are busy building their music careers—while also trying to get by day to day.

In the third of six segments of Noisey Bompton, we stop in on an internet radio show with the Bompton artists as they promote their music and take a trip to a hotel later that night to find out how rapper Kalifornia King Special pays his bills. Then, we spend some time on Rosecrans Avenue with Hitta J3, whose song "Do Yo Gudda" has become Compton's latest dance craze. Surrounded by four generations of family, J3 and his mother share stories of the effects gang life has had on their family and neighborhood.

Noisey Bompton is a new documentary made by the people who brought you Noisey Atlanta and Noisey Chiraq. It's the first episode in an eight part series, NOISEY, on VICE's upcoming TV channel VICELAND. Each episode focuses on a different city, its major stars, and the stories and issues that influence its music scene.

NOISEY ATLANTA | 2 CHAINZ UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL | EPISODE 6

In episode six of Noisey Atlanta, Thomas enters the world of 2 Chainz, one of the biggest rappers alive. Known for a bizarrely brilliant blend of goofiness and all out balling, the artist formerly known as Tity Boi shows us his man-cave before heading to the club for a show and then an after-party. And for the record, only 2 Chainz rides in the Maybach.

Tunji Ige | For Us | Video

In the light of recent events, rising artist Tunji Ige shares a powerful visual for The Love Project opening cut "For Us." As Noisey points out, The Love Project marks a coming-of-age story, highlighting Tunji’s life from ages 16 to 19. It’s a meditation on him as a young, black teenager dealing with relationships, rebellion, and the pressure to be cool. Regarding the video's concept, he says:

"'For Us' I feel is a critique on the social climate as well as what someone like me has to battle through, being myself, especially with where I'm at. I'm an up-and-coming artist but still a young black kid who could be a victim to the system. 'For Us' is the conscience to balance this transition: Do you let it get to your head or do you keep pushing?"

The video confronts a variety of social issues in an attempt to generate discussion. It's about the idea that we all want change, but have a hard time distinguishing good change from bad change. Most of all it's the story of an ego death, followed by a meditation."



And in case you need any proof of Tunji's versatility, check out his remix for Cathedral's "OOO AAA" below."

Noisey Presents | Atlanta | Welcome To The Trap

Starring familiar rap faces like Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, Future, Migos, Young Thug, Trinidad James, Rich Homie Quan, Young Scooter, Waka Flocka, PeeWee Longway and more, Noisey gives us an uncensored tour of the ATL slums.

Watch part 1

Noisey:
“When a rapper’s rapping, you should be able to smell the dope cooking.”

Later, we find ourselves in iconic Patchwerk Studios with Black Mafia Family’s Bleu Davinci. He explains the rise and fall of BMF, the city’s scene over the last decade, and what he thinks it takes to make it today. After a game of pool, we head to the strip club to meet Migos.

Noisey Atlanta is a 10-part series documenting unprecedented access into the city’s rap scene.

Bipolar Sunshine Ft. Goldlink | Future | Part 1

Bipolar Sunshine has a growing rep for crafting soulful music with choruses that pound around your head for hours - but his new number sees things slowed down completely. The track features GoldLink - who's recieved love from Andre 3000 (present at the Old Blue Last for GoldLink's show), Kaytranada (produced one of GoldLink's tracks), Lil Simz (performed at GoldLink's OBL show) and Flying Lotus (booked GoldLink for support at XOYO) - and is pretty sleek and smooth.

We're guessing Part 2 will drop sometime during the near "future".

Flying Lotus shares new Captain Murphy song | Cosplay

When he’s not deftly blending the worlds of electronic music, jazz, and IDM, super-producer Flying Lotus indulges his rhyme-slaying skills as the mysterious Captain Murphy. FlyLo’s identity as the rappin’ captain was the source of great mystery following the project’s emergence in early 2012, before he outed himself with the project’s first official release, the Duality mixtape.

Just yesterday, Flying Lotus announced the release of You’re Dead!, which promises two tracks featuring Captain Murphy. In anticipation, he’s shared a standalone single called “Cosplay” as part of the 2014 installment of Adult Swim’s Singles Program.

The track continues with the same kind of dense, brooding vibe FlyLo/Murphy started with Duality. His vocals are somewhere between a serpentine whisper and a pitchy, almost demonic cackle, an aesthetic further heightened by the haunted house piano, creaking bass, and swirling studio effects. Lyrically, he’s all over the map, dropping references about zombies and interplanetary travel, while managing to sneak in disheartening lines like “Cosplay like she nerdy … prefer it when she hurt me.” Cosplay, it ain’t just for dweebs.



To accompany the announcement, Adult Swim and Flying Lotus recently teamed up to create an animated origins story for Captain Murphy. It’s an intriguing and insightful story about maturity, self-assurance, and, um, scorpion sex. According to Noisey, the soundtrack is comprised of snippets of new Flying Lotus material. Watch it below.



You’re Dead! is due out October 7th via Warp Records. It’s also to feature Kendrick Lamar, Herbie Hancock, Snoop Dogg, and more. Check out its audiovisual teaser here.

You’re Dead! Tracklist:

Made In America | Made In Seattle

Ahead of Budweiser's Made In America Festival this coming Labor Day weekend, Noisey is traveling across the States,  talking to bands and local artists and finding out about the cities that made them. On our first stop we head to  Seattle to talk to Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie/The Postal Service, bubblegum punk pop quartet Tacocat,  and spacey surf girls La Luz. Plus we have a snoop around the Sub Pop offices.

The Neighbourhood feat. Casey Veggies & 100s | Jealou$y

The Neighbourhood is gearing up to drop their first hip-hop-infused project on us with their forthcoming #000000 & #FFFFFF mixtape, and, so far from it, we’ve only heard the previously released “Lurk“; but where that track was just a solo, the LA-based group now brings in Casey Veggies and 100s to the fold to settle in to the more familiar posse-cut-style that we all associate with rap mixtapes. We’re not sure who else is going to be featured on the upcoming project, but based on ”Jealou$y” and the names it’s drawn, we’re betting the release is going to be anything but another run-of-the-mill rap-tinged body of work.

Later, fellow 3Hunna members Lil Durk and Lil Reese expand on Chop's thoughts, and we learn extensively about the violence surrounding the area, and the social and cultural challenges the city faces.
