Dropped the video yesterday, here’s the audio courtesy of FAT Thursday:
R.I.P (Rise In Progress) MATIC (1975-2008), a legendary Jane St/Toronto MC and one half of The Boomaddicts (the other half being Phat Tony aka Big Tweeze). Matic passed away 2 yrs ago yesterday (Sept 8th) from Cancer. This release/DJ Pack and Video is in memory and celebration of his life, legacy and music. Please take it in.

Another effective visual freestyle from Sese, this time with P Dollaz, as they hop on the “Incrediblez” beat.
SIDEBAR:
Gotta give big shouts to G-Dot for pretty much creating what seems to be a cost-effective, social-network-standard, visual lane (somewhere between the traditional big budget video and the cheap, horrible, brand-destroying videos most struggling come-up artists are forced to put out). Of course I’m assuming that these videos are being done at a minimal price with a high turn around time; which would make them the perfect template for other indie artists to start applying to their own viral campaigns (hint hint, lol).
The reality is, whether the video costs $50,000 or $5000, both will exist predominantly on social networking mediums meaning both will have pretty much the same time span of relevance once they’re released. Reality check artists: it ain’t about dropping a mind-blowing music video anymore (not if it’s dictated by your personal budget and Videofact’s discretion), it’s about creating and maintaining an entertaining, cost effective and sustainable visual/viral presence. So I’d wager that Sese probably stands to get more out of his 10 ‘clean’ (I hate using the word ‘clean’ but in this case I think it actually applies) quick-fix freestyle visuals than the artist that invests more time, more money and more effort into releasing ONE high-end traditional video.
