DesignerFlow – “You’re Welcome” (Video)

RESPECT. Staff — Mon, 16 May 2016 11:20:30 +0000

It is fairly safe to say that the demand for our favorite artists to join forces and release collaborative efforts is as high as it has ever been. I even wrote about it a few months ago, because there are so many emcees that I think would be just as successful dropping joint projects as JAY Z and Kanye West were, or more recently Drake and Future. I think I speak on behalf of most Hip-Hop fans when I say my fingers remain crossed.

Since we’re talking about joint projects, lets talk about HoodStock Records’ Nemo Achida and DesignerFlow. The two Kentucky wordsmiths — Nemo from Lexington and DesignerFlow from Louisville — have linked up musically on many occasions, but this time around the two are gearing up to give us their 7-track EP titled SixPieceSpicy.

With what is the first of multiple upcoming visual releases, the duo liberates “You’re Welcome”, a clip that is centered mostly around DesignerFlow — who also directed this one– as he delivers semi-hype wordplay over rather chill production.

Watch “You’re Welcome”, below and stay tuned for more from Nemo Achida and DesignerFlow in the weeks to come.

New Music: Hoodstock Radio – “Make Things Right”

RESPECT. Staff — Tue, 23 Feb 2016 02:18:00 +0000

In a recently received email, Kentucky was satirically described as only being known to the world for college hoops (Kentucky Wildcats), The Kentucky Derby, The First 48 and red-hot R&B newcomer Bryson Tiller, who calls Louisville, Kentucky home. However, Nemo Achida and his Hoodstock Records family are aiming to change that and show people a different side of The Bluegrass State; and Hoodstock Radio is exactly how they plan to achieve such a task.

With a similar feel to Kanye West’s ever popular (but lately, pretty damn inconsistent) G.O.O.D. Fridays music series, Hoodstock Radio will feature all new music, dropping on a weekly basis and showcasing Hoodstock artists Nemo, DesignerFlow and Pinky Liberachi, who is fresh off the release of his latest project, The Love Pink EP, which saw a fair deal of success, and is still very much in the rotation of many listeners.

First up from the camp is “Make Things Right”, which is a groovy new record that flawlessly meshes the very different and distinct styles of Nemo Achida, DesignerFlow, and Pinky Liberachi. Fans of the late, great Big Pun might appreciate this one, as Nemo opens up the record with “I had to flip that white/To save my life”, sung in the same highly familiar cadence as Pun’s classic record, “It’s So Hard“.

Take a listen to “Make Things Right”, below and stay tuned for more from the Hoodstock Radio music series. Every Monday you can expect a new drop. Oh, and when you’re finished vibing out to this week’s Hoodstock Radio installment, head on over here to check out Inspired by the Hustle, a documentary that is shot and edited by Brian Campbell, and chronicles the Hoodstock Records collective.

New Music: Nemo Achida – “LaLa” [Produced by Corey Grand]

RESPECT. Staff — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 16:26:06 +0000

When you think of Kentucky, you probably don’t think of anything but the men’s college basketball team that’s currently 34-0 and a favorite to win the national championship. If in fact that’s what you think of, you’ve never heard of Nemo Achida (although you should’ve, as he’s been featured on this site before). As random as it is, his newest song “LaLa” is inspired by, of all things, a visit to a strip club in… Idaho? Yep! Idaho. In any event, check out the Corey Grand-produced single below and look out for Nemo’s album, AntiHero, which is due out soon. If you’re sleeping on Nemo Achida, stop that!
