Tony Stone | Tapestry #tbt Video Review | @tonystone @chicangeorge @trackstarz
Within the history of CHH, we have had some pretty great producers. One of those producers happens to be Tony Stone. He has worked with labels like Cross Movement Records, Gotee Records, Reach Records, Word Records and even worked with artists such as Lecrae, Trip Lee, Flame, and Braille to name a few. When he released his […]
Tedashii | Dum Dum TBT Video Review | @tedashii @lecrae @chicangeorge @trackstarz
Tedashii has always been a great artist to me. His flow and wordplay have always been on another level. On song where you can see and hear this is with his “Dum Dum” song. I remember how complex his wordplay was as he wanted us to see him as a big problem like calculus. He […]
Shine ‘No Coasters’ Video Review | Throwback Theology| @shines140 @chicangeorge @trackstarz
After interviewing Shine for a segment on a Horror Story as a Radio personality, I began to realize that he was/is an emcee as well. I remember being heavily involved with his process of creating his “No Coasters” Video. Within the video, he describes a sad, but constant story of domestic violence in many […]
Benjah | Walking Out Video Review | @benjahmusic @chicangeorge @trackstarz
Benjah has always had a way of making me feel good when I listen to his music. One of my first videos that I remember him having that affect on me was “Walking out.” First off, it was filmed at a great venue on a beautiful day. Seeing him encounter everyone is the treat […]
Applejaxx | Original Video Review | @applejaxx @chicangeorge @trackstarz
Original. This is a word that everyone wants to be or claim to know so much about. This word is also sacred within hip hop. But what do you get when you define that word dealing with God and using the analogy of food (organic at that)? You get Applejaxx’s “Original” video. If you take […]
Bobby Bishop | Amy’s Song Review | @everydayman @chicangeorge @trackstarz
Hip hop is way to speak on different subjects. Many times, the subject matter can be easy and simple to understand and take in. Other times, the subject matter can be hard and even extremely dark. This was the case for Bobby Bishop’s “Amy’s Song.” In the song, we hear a story of rape and sexual […]
4th Avenue Jones | Stereo Video Review | @chicangeorge @trackstarz
It’s always great to see hip hop groups that have a great bond. It’s also great to see those groups experiment with things outside of the normal box. This can clearly be seen with 4th Avenue Jones. I remember liking Ahmad from his “Back in the day” song (I LOVED that sample) and always wanted […]
Lecrae | BET Cypher Recap | @Lecrae @Chicangeorge @Trackstarz
In honor of Lecrae performing on this year’s B.E.T. hip hop awards, I decided to go back and look at the first time Lecrae graced the hip hop awards show. Everyone loves watching the B.E.T. hip hop awards for the cyphers. I literally know people who only watch it just to see who is […]
K-Drama | Holistic Video Review | @kdrama513 @chicangeorge @trackstarz
You can’t mention the greats without mentioned K-drama. I remember thinking that not only was he a great rapper, but he was a hilarious guy. I remember seeing him perform and speaking with him at the Citytakers conference years ago and he was a very down to earth guy. I always thought he was […]
Fedel | Walk it Like I’m Changed Video Review | @Fedelmusic @Chicangeorge @Trackstarz
After getting saved, everyone has to find that “let everyone know that I’m saved” theme song. One of the songs that I can say fits this role is Fedel’s “Walk it like I’m changed.” I loved how the video starts off by showing him in chains. Those chains represent sin and all of the things that […]
