Video: El Guante Live at Eclipse Records | Above-thefold.com

Thanks to those at Above The Fold , there is some footage of the El Guante/Big Cats show that I regrettably missed on the 2nd. El Guante spits an ill a capella verse, and then transitions into his song, "Ink." If you don't have his mixtape, Conscious Is Not Enough , or his album, El Guante's Haunted Studio Apartment , then you are seriously missing out on some real hip-hop. I provided a download for "Ink" below the video. El Guante: "Ink"

He stopped to play at Eclipse Records last Friday with a full backing band and Big Cats! laying down the beat with his computer and the Bass. Check out a snippet of his performance shot by Above the Fold below: MP3: El Guante [...]
