The Legal Dope Spot

Karate Face brings to you a project that has been in the works for over 2 years. He is an extremely talented young man who hails from Boston and thrives on making incredibly dope hip hop music. Face is also just on member of “Suicide Kingz” which is a group formulated of four rappers from the 413 to the 508. This double disc album came about after Face lived in Florida and had linked up with some of the hottest producers and artists in the game. It has been a long time since he has released a solo album but this one is sure to get that head noddin! So hit that link at the bottom of the post and download the album… you won’t regret it!!

Download “Legal Dope” Here!!

Welcome back everybody!! This time I bring to you the newest release from Configa and John Graham entitled “Back 2 Basics”. This track addresses the state of the rap game today and the way things have changed for the bad since hip-hop started back in the 1970’s. Configas’ beat sets the stage, taking us back to the days of shell toes and Swatch watches. The video itself, which is directed by Nick Light, takes us on a voyage around New York City including a stop in The Bronx and the place DJ Kool Herc used to call home. Everything about this track, both audio and video-wise is authentic and organic hip-hop at it’s best.
If you haven’t already done so, I urge you to hit up the links after video to purchase the mixtape and be sure to peep the video while you’re here.

Get the mixtape here!

Ladies and gentlemen, Here it is! The highly anticipated release from ‘Done Clinic… “The Legal Dope Tape”. Sixteen tracks of pure dope!! This is some of there finest work in my opinion and it’s guaranteed to get your head noddin.

Due to some in-climate weather, the release of the highly anticipated Done Clinic album has been pushed back, but only by a week. This terrible winter storm dumped over a foot of snow on much of the state of Massachusetts and caused statewide power outages for over 1,000,000 people. The damage was extensive and widespread and affected nearly everybody in the area.

These are just a few pictures of the damage done by “Winter Storm Alfred”. You can only imagine the amount of damage that was really done when there are over one million people without power or heat, and the outages have lasted for almost 7 days already in some locations. Anyhow, Legal Dope is coming on November 14th!! Stay tuned!!

Being that this is Sicarii’s first official video, I wanted to give you a little sneak peek at what it was like behind the camera at the shoot. Sic had picked several different locations for the shoot but with last Wednesday being the first day of shooting and us having only a few hours to work with, we only got to shoot at two of the locations. One of which was the Springfield Cemetery. We found some great imagery for the video and even bumped into some wonderful gentlemen who actually let us use their hearse to shoot some scenes in. Most people might be creeped out at the thought of sitting in a hearse, but not my boy Sic. He jumped at the chance…

We also shot a couple scenes in front of a rather eerie looking underground vault. This added a certain amount of darkness to the video and really brought out some of the nuances of the track. The video is Sicarii’s video, but he got his team behind him in this one, with the likes of Legacy(right) and Slang(left) as well as myself, Bishop and BJ Pen who will all be in other scenes of the video.

 This video is produced and directed by Shawn Bakowski, who can be seen below doing what he does best.

We also filmed a couple scenes under the south end bridge in Springfield and at the Springfield Yacht Club in Agawam.

All of the pictures featured in this post were taken by myself. All of the actual video footage was taken by Shawn. The video is far from completed but is scheduled to be released before the end of the year. Look out for the video right here on The Legal Dope Spot. and don’t forget “Tomorrow Is A Lie” coming early 2012.

First up we got some major heat from Configa featuring one of the United Kingdoms’ shining stars Jaz Kahina. This is the first single off the classic mixtape “Calm Before The Storm” which I reviewed last month, and if you read the review you’ll recall that I loved it! Make sure you hit up the video link and if you like the track as much as I do, head over to itunes and buy the mixtape. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!!
