California producer Sir Veterano presents the music video for "Reputable", his new single featuring MC Eiht, Planet Asia and Mitchy Slick. "Reputable" is the first single from The Gathering", Sir Veterano's forthcoming debut album also featuring appearances from Murs, Bishop Lamont, Casual, Ras Kass, Guilty Simpson, Phat Kat, Fashawn, K-Bizz, 4TWO7, M.E.D., Skillz and Supastition. Growing up outside of San Francisco, Veterano worked with Ras Kass, Kool G Rap, Mad Skillz, Planet Asia and Slaughtahouse through the mid-2000s and early 2010s, releasing the Latest and Greatest Vol.1 mixtape (link), a doo-wop themed instrumental album in partnership with Dart Adam's Producers I Know brand (link), and a DJ series of West Coast funk with 2DopeBoyz.com (link), before putting his career on hold in order to focus on his personal life. In late 2018, Sir Veterano expressed interest in rejoining the music business to his music manager, Walt Liquor - aka 4Two7 - and Kwa Nguyen, owner of Fresh Yard Clothing and Fresh Yard Records. The "Reputable" music video was directed by Yellow Nguyen, the man behind videos for Schoolboy Q and Ab-Soul. "I feel like I've been buried in a coffin for the last decade and just woke up," Veterano says regarding his new project. "Dug myself out of my music grave and started walking around. The Gathering is a summoning of old colleagues and Hip-Hop legends to come together and do the lyrical maiming they're known for." The Gathering is set for a summer release on Fresh Yard Records.

Redding, California rapper/producer Space Cadet presents the Bui-directed music video for "Eyes Closed", his self-produced new single coming on the heels of visuals for previous single "Good Mood" (Youtube). A member of Bay Area collective Thirdeye Coalition, his releases include solo albums Still Love You (stream), Like Home and Letters From Space (Bandcamp) as well as his collaboration album The Love Nostalgic with Larry (watch the music video for "Shine") and his Turtlenecks project (watch the music video for "Make Over"). A professional sound engineer as well as a drummer/percussionist for marching bands, punk rock bands and everything in between, Cadet also collaborates heavily with fellow Bay Area rapper J.Lately (stream "Clean" featuring The Grouch).

"Initially I wanted to be walking next to the car while it was moving really slowly, to tie in with the theme of the hook, like a walk in the park type thing," Cadet says regarding the video. "However, the car (which my best friend Larry let me borrow) battery died and we had to wing it. I think in the end, the video now ties in much more to the verses as far as having to deal with the obstacles and adversities of the journey.”

Los Angeles emcee/producer IQ presents his new self-produced single "Everywhere I Go". IQ's last release was IQ Test (Bandcamp). "I'm releasing this single because I need to start somewhere and I have tons of rhymes that I plan to deliver to anyone who wants to hear them," IQ says about his new single. "I make my own beats, do my own mixing, and record my own vocals. I just started feeling the heat from this beat and decided to let people know how I feel about certain things and even how I got started, and then speed up the flow at the end a little bit Big L style."

SPACE CADET, "GOOD MOOD"

Redding, California rapper/producer Space Cadet presents the Baws Films-directed music video for "Good Mood", his self-produced new single. A member of Bay Area collective Thirdeye Coalition, his releases include solo albums Still Love You (stream), Like Home and Letters From Space (Bandcamp) as well as his collaboration album The Love Nostalgic with Larry (watch the music video for "Shine") and his Turtlenecks project (watch the music video for "Make Over"). A professional sound engineer as well as a drummer/percussionist for marching bands, punk rock bands and everything in between, Cadet also collaborates heavily with fellow Bay Area rapper J.Lately (stream "Clean" featuring The Grouch). “When I was done with the beat, the most appropriate title for it in my mind was ‘Good Mood’ because that’s just how it made me feel," Cadet says about his new single. "When I was done with it, I immediately started writing to it, which isn’t normal for me. That same energy transferred over into the lyrics so I just kept the title the same, which also isn’t normal for me. The concept itself is pretty self explanatory, like waking up in such a good mood you don’t let bad energy or worries you normally would have effect or ruin it.” Cadet is currently working on his third solo project.
