C.C.I. Revisits : Purple Asteroid Cadillac

[via Facebook]

Sometime around mid-December of 2010, we featured an innovative four-piece group that quickly rose to Midwest lore. Armed with bombastic live shows, fresh lyricism and touring dedication, the pine-fresh Purple Asteroid Cadillac helped redefine Midwestern hip-hop, and interestingly enough -- our online traffic -- with our piece on their showcase in Cincinnati proving to be the first major C.C.I 'hit' article. Because we've seen our fan-base certainly spike upwards in the early months of 2012, it'd be in our best interest to re-visit the group that helped re-SHAPE our local culture, and give some of our new recruits a chance to catch up.

'Take Shape', the hyped debut of Purple Asteroid Cadillac, is set to release this spring. We'll keep a firm watch on this release, including any pre-order news, but the savvy-reader shouldn't expect to see any leaks; we're not that kind of blog. Tha' P.A.C clique have worked tirelessly to provide this album to their fans, and we'll just go ahead and assure you -- it'll be major. Call it a lock.

Speaking of hard-working, lead vocalist Fooch Tha' MC's launched 'New Music Mondays', a fantastic new collective of material leading up to the album release this spring. From Fooch himself to some of his colleagues (including Naledge, a great talent that we've come to appreciate), NMM is a great way to start the week off in the right direction. You can find New Music Mondays right here on Fooch's Tumblr Page, and a word of advice :: go ahead and pick up "Got Bars", the Kid Duke-produced trunk-banger that's calling for the late-nite riders of the world.

A major thank-you goes out to Fooch, SHZA, ZAK + DAVE -- your dedication in the studio is worth commending, and we're stoked for future New Music Mondays, "Take Shape", and whatever endeavors head your way. We may be constant-bloggers, but we're certainly fans first.

Video Premiere Tuesday --

November 30th must be a quality date for releasing music videos. Captain Captain Industry new-comer Fooch, as well as the much hyped Lane Weaver, have dropped their long-awaited viral sensations today.

Peep 'em here first, and always be sure to drop a constructive/complimentary comment -- people love logging on and seeing a dozen new 'thumbs ups'.

First off, we have Fooch's newly mastered track, "Flows Ferocious". You may have heard this performed originally by his crew, Purple Asteroid Cadillac. This time around, the live instruments have been replaced by a five-star production squad, with the back-beat that's absolutely begging for remixes for months and months to come. Be sure to check the blog for Fooch's new joint, Classic Made, hosted by DJ Logikal, as well as Kidz in the Hall's own Naledge. Brainiac Society's always doin' some serious work.

Without further ado, we present -

Flows Ferocious, the first official video from Fooch's mixtape, Classic Made.

Next, we've gotten our hands on the newest official video from Lane Weaver. We've tossed the original song on the blog before, but now we have this official video premiere to back it up. Lane's presence on the blog has skyrocketed traffic almost every time his name is mentioned. Seriously. We average around twenty more views than we usually do every time he drops a track or new video, so I have no reason to doubt that this new joint, titled "From Her", will be a cult classic. Bustin' out the wobble on this, Lane reveals some of his more electronic-based background, while still applying his signature hip-hop accents. It's a pretty nice combo, but you don't need me tellin' you. Watch for yourself!

You saw it here first --

And just to show some love to Captain Captain Industries new-comer Naledge, we're throwin' this fan-made video of his groove-hop jam, "Star Struck" on the front page. I gotta say it again though -- Brainiac Society's doin' some WORK out here.

--

What we're on is dangerous. Be sure to catch Lane Weaver, Ill & Natti, and Utopia Park live @ the Beauty Shop (Fairfield, IA) 12/11/10. (Notice the date goes down a number, which probably means you shouldn't miss this show.)

Also, the Beauty Shop needs some financial boostin'. Don't worry! It won't cost you a dime -- you've heard of the Pepsi Refresh Project, right? Well, if not, you've gotta do some research. For those who know, I'd like to extend a hand to my brothers and sisters down on Main Street by re-posting this new video live on Captain Captain Industries. Be sure to vote every day -- starting tomorrow, December 1st. Together, we can make some waves.

Big day in local music, huh? Looks like you've got yourself some vid's to check out. I'll leave you to it, while I go hobble around in the new snowfall.

Always good to hear from ya'.
