So the past week has been filled with an abundance of talented artists and original music. Tonight is no exception. Weekend Money comprises of producer and (Hot Sugar protége) Baghdaddy and rapper Ness
(of A-Alikes/Eye2025 fame) the gents are currently in the studio working on their EP which will drop June 5th 2012. I had the pleasure of sitting in with the boys for a quick minute at the studio and June 5th can't come fast enough...promo please...hint...hint ;) In the interim u can catch them at some live shows in and around NYC as well as their latest video Insomniac which is dope and getting a lot of buzz...this black and white goodie gets deep in your head with visuals and vocals that are just damn dirty.
Press release states:
"For the Brooklyn, New York-based act, its at once serious, but trippy; ‘hood, but decadent. A straight-no-chaser smiley face in a haze of smoke amid artists, thugs, model chicks, around-the-way-girls, and rebels.
“We live in the proverbial city that never sleeps, right?” says Ness of the thought-process that went into writing the treatment for the ‘Insomniac’ video. “That’s what it’s all about. There are a lot of things that go on in New York from the wild party scenes to grinding for that bread. We wanted to film it in black and white to stay away from that polished tone because life is not polished. This shit ain’t Hollywood.”
For Baghdaddy, the “Insomniac” clip symbolizes the culmination of a project that was first sparked a little over a year ago when the Philadelphia born Ness—a member of the dead prez affiliated group A-Alikes—first hooked up with the Hot Sugar protégé. “People can now visually see the dynamic of Weekend Money,” he excitedly says. “Ness and I put so much time and aggression into this project. We’ve done so much in such a short time…things that make us excited as music fans. This is the kind of music we want to hear on the radio and on the streets.”
Its nice to feel that old energy of NYC...guess all the hipsters must be on vacation or something ; )
