Tumi – Whole Worlds (live video)


Tumi is one of the best lyricists you’ve probably never heard, We at TheCrypt have been posting his music for years, thanks to our South African connection. I was floored the first time I heard Tumi, his raw lyrics, passion, soul and performance moved me. The same words speak true to this day about Tumi, the man is incredibly talented. He dropped an album last year which we featured in our forums called Whole Worlds it was outstanding this is a live video of the title track being performed in none other than South Africa. The lyrics are excellent, pay attention to the chorus and that 2nd verse WOW. Killed it, I have the album somewhere around here, I’ll find the joint and post it so you have something of a better quality to listen to.

My New Stereo Set Up In The Car

This is how I spent my weekend hooking up my car stereo w/ rear view camera. Paid about $150 for the whole set up. Good if youre on budget. Here’s some pics of it in action, more info  and as you can see youtube video demo.

I was recently given a 93 Buick Park Ave with 60,000 miles in pristine shape. I took out the stock radio and put in this XOvision xo1930 (walmart) head unit paired with a Hootoo Backup Cam (amazon). In this video I basically tested out all the functions from DVD, DVD files, USB stick, aux input and backup cam. Maybe this will help people who intend to get a set up like this going on a budget.
The camera is powered off the reverse lights I bought some 16g wire and connected the wire from the head unit to the reverse light in trunk as well so when i pot the car in reverse the cam pops up on the screen. I can play DVD’s while in drive or any gear for that matter and that can be done by connecting the wire to I believe it was the headlight lamp or the car power I forget which. I was also able to run the wires through a small crevice in the backseat and ran the wires the rest of the way under the plastic trim, camera seems to be working great and kicks right in when thrown into reverse. Pretty cool feature for less than 20 bucks and an hour of work on a Friday afternoon.

Media that was played was
EC Allstars DVD video shown was EC All Stars
A Tribe Called Quest (off data dvd)
Action Bronson – Nightcourt (off ceative zen media player Bon Apetit Bitch!)
Necro (USB stick)

Roc Marciano x Gangrene (Alchemist + Oh No) – Jet Luggage

greneberg

This is gully, that break face music. Take note rappers this is real hip-hop. “Who knew what I’d grow to be, The only G to leave 3 in your shoulder piece”

Hip Hop’s grimiest duo, The Alchemist + Oh No (Gangrene), have teamed up with Marcberg’s own Roc Marciano to release Greneberg, coming July 19th (digitally) on Decon. A pre-cursor to their upcoming album releases due out later this Fall, the project is a smorgasbord of raw rhymes and cinematic beats with each track featuring guest verses and/or production from the other two artists.

The Alchemist + Oh No (Gangrene) gained notoriety and acclaim as a group with their November 2010 release Gutter Water. Since then, the group has toured both Europe and the US performing for sold out crowds both at home and abroad. Their second album, Vodka & Iowaska, will be released later this year on Decon. Roc Marciano has been hard at work readying his Decon debut, Reloaded, the much-anticipated follow-up to 2010’s Marcberg. Over the course of several years, both acts have become mutual admirers of the other’s work. All three artists are producers as well as emcees and covet a uniquely identifiable style. Spending much of their time in Los Angeles, The Alchemist, Oh No, and more recently Roc, have fostered a fruitful collaborative relationship, and it seemed only fitting to bring the three together for this release.

The 6-track vinyl picture-disc will feature original artwork and be available in August. The EP will also be available for download through iTunes with a bonus track and video content. As if the EP and bonus content were not enough, Roc will join forces with Gangrene for the 15-stop Greneberg Tour hitting the road later this Fall. Greneberg is just an appetizer to both artist’s main course albums coming later this year.
