Many many many late nights were spent creating this little masterpiece.  I haven't had that much fun on a set in a very long time. Things like this make me remember why I remember love creating music/visual arts so much!  Want to give a nice big shoutout to Danielle Stephenson on this one for being such a great actor!  Shoutout to Steve Van Diest, for being a beast on the lense.  This is an older song I wanted to pay tribute to my fallen homie Ja Uno on... It was around a year ago now when he passed. It also fits the "Halloween" theme. The full version of this track, has a few other features on it which, you will have to wait and see! Consider this your introduction to "The Gatekeeper"  Thank-you for the continued support.  There are a few social icons below this video, give it a share and a like!

I have been working very hard these past few weeks building my new GateKeeper album, and on October 31 / 2014, some of that hard-work will be available for viewing right here!  UNO is an older song of mine which I decided to create a visual for, in order to pay homage to my fallen friend Ja Uno. Ja passed away 1 year ago, and was one of the dopest producers coming out of the Underground in Canada before his unfortunate passing late 2013... I got a few more bangers waiting to be released with him on the production, and I cannot wait!  Steve Van Diest on the lense and production, automatically making this one of the premier videos coming from Edmonton... You will not be disappointed with the visuals of this record. Full steam ahead, October 31 / 2014.  Join in on building the hype, give this a share! 

Deffine came with that photoshop image of Cursive, and I nearly lost it...  It took what Cursive did, and one up'd it - which was hilarious. Completely crack up! I first saw it and didn't believe it... I was drinking water, and spit it up - thinking to myself "woooo"  Deffine wins points with that one.  If you are unaware, Cursive had an emergency surgery a day or so after he released his Round 1 diss back to Deffine. I am not certain exactly what happened, but one of his lungs collapsed...  Hence the name of Deffines diss "Till Your Lungs Collapse" I hope homie is legit alright, and his lungs are working/surgery went well. Never want anyone to get hurt/injured. Health is always #1.  Regardless of hiphop beef, I never want to see anyone get physically injured.  In between responses, there was a barrage of memes created of a picture Cursive posted on his instagram, that got flipped against him of him on a hospital bed. Deffine had Troublez of Pysch Ward Kids on the track as well. I guess that crew has a beef they wanted to air out, and took the opportunity to do so with Deffine. In comes Sonik/Rome.  At the end of Cursive's first joint, he says something about Soniks first born daughter - this is the reasoning behind Sonik's diss track.  As for Rome Angel going in, I have no idea where that comes from...  The skit for Sonik/Romes track had be cracking up. It was almost too much.  Cursive came back with an almost Dizaster vs Arcane response, where Dizaster pulls out the papers saying Arcane purchased his bars from Caustic... Cursive screenshot text messages between him and Deffine.  I still do not know what to make of this, does it negate everything Deffine has said, or does it make Cursive look like he gave up and went that route.  Once again, this is an unbiased review of what is going on. I am neutral to both parties and am merely putting this beef all in one place.  Who do you think is ahead/winning.  Will Cursive come back with another track to rebuttal Sonik/Rome?!  I guess time will only tell.     

Here we have the official visuals for the newest road in Stripes custom built city.  This track has been dubbed "Banana Street" - probably cause it is just THAT crazy. There is not too much to say about the joint itself.  It was shot by NathanReid Photography - up and coming photographer in the Edmonton hiphop community - and self edited by myself. I hope you all enjoy. I am very excited for what is coming, and what has transpired in these last few months - I've been able to turn some heads as I continue to create the Gatekeeper project... Keep your eye out for more visuals comnig from myself, as well the Gatekeeper album  (release date TBA) Like - Comment - SHARE - use the social media below to spread this around! 

I have been working hard these past weeks, on both my upcoming "Gatekeeper" project (full length LP), as well I am creating my own city! Apparently I am building a list of roads, if you have not noticed, and they are in the form of 2:00 minute long videos. (If you are curious as to what the rest of my city looks like, click here) Set to release July 13/2014 - you will be exclusively able to travel along "Banana Street." I believe the promo video above speaks for itself...... I will end it like this - I look forward to releasing what I am bringing to the table, and I thank you all for your continued support.  Stay tuned.  As well, feel free to share the above video/this blog post/or the photo below to help create a buzz for what I am about to drop.  All I can tell you, is that this next video is something very different - I think you will enjoy.
