The Duke Westlake Cypher was put on, featuring many from the Knocksteady crew, as a way for the rappers to all flow over the same beat produced by Duke and then to call out the next rapper creating sort of a YouTube competition.  Intuition was  most recently featured, you can watch him kill it below, but also check out the others Dumbfoundead, The Palmer Squares, Traphik, and coming soon George Watsky. Up first was Dumfoundead: Then The Palmer Squares: [...]

Monday morning treat: George Watsky - Fuck an Emcee Name If you haven’t heard Watsky’s stuff yet - you’re probably a bad member of the Internet. Most of his songs go viral, he’s big on Reddit and has even appeared on the Ellen Show. I had to feature him because Watsky hails from my home town of San Francisco. Plus, he just put out a  new video yesterday  featuring Daria Morgendorffer. His music isn’t normally my genre but he’s got style, confidence and he delivers puns after pun backed by pretty [...]

Stupidass (George Watsky) from Nicolas Heller on Vimeo . George Watsky, in addition to being an accomplished slam poet, is often referred to as the fastest rapper alive . He's a nerdy white dude, like so many other hip hop fans, and his intelligence and knowledge of the genre make all the difference. He definitely sounds white, which may be off-putting to some listeners, but he is very talented and has a unique perspective, making his lyrics something to observe, rather than to simply hear. [...]

[See post to listen to audio] LISTEN : Virtue + Watsky + Emoh Betta - Bug Zapper From what I understand, Allston's Fameless Fam crew put together this here mixtape to prove their worth in the final stretch of the Boston Phoenix Best Music Poll voting. Dudes already have my vote - their video for " Bricks " was my favorite of last year, and they keep cranking shit out, which I'm told is how you get ahead in this here nu-music [...]

As Media Specialist, part of my job requires me to go to the source of the media and document it. After a few days at Coachella, I have returned to Cluster 1 Headquarters to make sure all the newest videos are here for you all to see. Enjoy! News: Cluster 1 News with Sami Jarroush - Updates on Animal Collective, The National, Rage Against the Machine, Arcade Fire, and our Sasquatch contest!

There's no shortage of hip-hoppers sampling some DOOM lines for a hook, but hey, can you blame 'em? Anyway, we've got here a special track, "Bug Zapper", from a trio of artists that came up through the ranks of New England's finest. The lyrics on this joint are part esoteric, part industry commentary, and altogether scrunch-face-worthy. Virtue (you might remember his work with partyboobytrap and Time Crisis ) tackles the first verse with his signature tone, followed by super-spitter George Watsky (seriously, he was on The Ellen Show for his double-timing abilities). Resident Boston DJ, Emoh Betta , [...]

This kid gives us a little bit of a man-tastic lyrical boner. He keeps his rhymes fairly clean, but they are sharp, articulate, and catchy as the clap. This is a short clip of George Watsky previewing a song he plans to release online. This kid raps fast as hell. He raps so quickly that he put a cat in one of his videos to show 'real time,' and that he was NOT just speeding up the video. What's great is that you can actually hear what he is saying; unlike Twista, who sometimes just sounds like an [...]

Dynamic duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are hip-hop gems undiscovered by even most of the underground hip-hop world.    Hailing from Seattle, Washington, the pair form a rapper-producer team unprecedented in style, musicality and SWAG. Fusing jazz, classical, and hip-hop elements, Lewis generates tracks with undeniably old-school flair, jam-packed with soulful guitar vamps, gospel-blues choirs, orchestral accompaniments, and creatively altered samples from various jazz classics.    Macklemore rounds off the tracks with both insightful and witty lyrics, the majority of which revolve around relevant social commentary.    [...]

VIRAL VIDEO SELECTION White Kid, Rap Hard Edition Viral Video is a periodic series we run celebrating music and moving images. It's possible that there hasn't been a more perfect clip than the one we have here today. I was sent this video by friends and contributing readers three times yesterday. Generally speaking, this isn't a coincidence. At that time, the video had 300 credited views. [...]

The kid is hilarious, and possibly the only MC besides Paul Barman who could be described as funny in a Wait Wait . . . Don’t Tell Me! kind of way. Read The Phoenix feature HERE
