ASAP Rocky + Danny Brown + Schoolboy Q

Welcome back to sungFROMspace!

Recently I found out that ASAP Rocky, Schoolboy Q and Danny Brown are coming to Vancouver to play one of the rowdiest shows this city has witnessed. The Vogue theater will host all of ASAP Mob as well; so that includes names like ASAP Ferg, ASAP Nast, ASAP Twelvy, ASAP Ty Beats etc. I was expecting tickets to creep around $80.00-$100.00 but found out they are up for $45.00. For someone struggling through expenses when you hear 3 of the biggest names in rap/hip-hop go on tour you expect to pay to see them play.

Flatbush Zombies

Welcome back to sungFROMspace!

I recently discovered a Brooklyn trio encircled with childhood friends Erick Arc Elliott, Zombie Juice (Barnacle Bartholomew) and Meechy Darko whom each possess a unique sense of style and produce addictive beats such as "Thug Waffle' or "Face-off". These zombies know how to stay true to what they know best; drinking 40's, waffles, drugs and living life to the fullest while grasping upper level lyricism and flow. Darko has a charisma which has strongly been compared to the late and great Old Dirty Bastard. As Bartholomew hasn't been compared to any big names but he still has more flow coming out his mouth than the Nile and lets his humor and personality shine through lyrics. Erick produces edgy beats which are dark with light electronic synth which comes together in head bumping harmony. The term zombie isn't about walking around aimlessly but rather than dying, it's renewal of life; They don't fear death and that comes through in their songs. These guys really don't have as much hype as they should; so if you like them show your support and share the word.
Enjoy.

Here's the song that boosted them into the spotlight "Thug Waffles"



Vinnie Picone did an amazing job filming and directing this video for "Face-off"
