Terrace Martin and Aplusfilmz put meaning behind the music in “A Velvet Portrait,” which features music from Terrace’s 2016 release, ‘Velvet Portraits‘ that still gets play in my car today. The Aplus directed short, keeps you guessing, trying to put meaning behind the broken relationship, revolver, shovel in the sand and the two masked dancers. I know you might be thinking WTF the way I laid it out, but it’s dope! As all art is open for interpretation, I’m not even going to try to break it down for you. So, check it out and see what meaning you can glean.     Track ..read more

  I know I’m extra late when it comes to internet time, but I’m really feeling this one. You can always count on Nipsey Hussle to come with the real and “OCEAN VIEWS” is no exception. I’m feeling the production and the line about writing out your goals and following through with them ’til the end. What most people don’t know is that writing down your goals multiplies your chance of success instead of just thinking and daydreaming about them. I don’t know what it is, but it has definitely worked for me. So, try it out sometime and see how far it takes you. That is, if you aren’t already…   Fav ..read more

    2 westcoast legends in the making. Can’t deny their hustle at all. Shit like this motivates me to get out here and get this money. And them being from around my way and the same age as me lets me know there are no excuses. The only thing really stopping anybody out here from getting it is yourself. And when you realize that you’re already on your way.       The post Nipsey Hussle: Checc Me Out ft. Dom Kennedy x Cobby Supreme appeared first on W.Coast.K ..read more

  In His Words: “I wrote this song the night before I moved to Seattle from Charlotte. The song is about letting go of any doubts or fear-based thoughts I was having. I wanted to talk to my own ego, and make a song that reminded me to ignore the thoughts fueled by it. This song is not only a message for others, its a message I felt I need to continue to tell myself.”   Location: Seattle Produced by: Ntourage       The post John Alex Harper: “Egoic Era” appeared first on W.Coast.K ..read more

“I’ma break every box they try to put me in”   XO Records signee, NAV drops the psychedelic video for the intro track off his self-titled 2017 release ‘NAV.’ I don’t know about anybody else, but I feel this in the depths of my soul (minus the drug references).  Lines like “see me doing good they start to hate, that’s how it goes now” and “driving through my city by myself, that’s how I roll now” pretty much sum up my life at the moment. It’s crazy what all you have to go through and who all you have to lose on the way to the top. And most of the time, it’s not even you acting funny-like in th ..read more
