Get To Know Gang Gang Dance [Video]
I recently discovered an already buzzing group that goes by Gang Gang Dance. I occasionally listen to internet indie radio and their latest song Mindkilla would play just about every hour. Such a unique sound that I had to listen to their most recent album Eye Contact released in 2011 in it's entirety. Don't be confused though, these guys and a girl are no rookies to the music scene. With the group officially forming in 2001 and then releasing their debut album Revival of The Shittest 3 years later, these veterans look like their on the way to the next level. Check out their most recent visual for Mindkilla + a haunting live performance of Chinese High both from Eye Contact in stores now. Look out for Gang Gang Dance on tour. #nextinshow

Lamar Odom Don't Cry Man
What TV is doing to grown men is horrible. I understand that even a grown male adult can get emotional I also know that a grown male doesn't cry on a reality TV show. Come on Lamar, bad season in Dallas maybe? Cry over that, we need you to step it up.
In other news Lamar Odom say's he's getting tired of reality TV. :-)

*New Music* Obie Trice x Eminem - Richard + [Audio]
Recently leaked was Obie Trice's highly rumored new album Bottom's Up. The album was put on ice a few years back for creative differences and complications with Shady Records. Obie then left Shady Records and created his new path with starting Black Market Entertainment (BME). Cheers in my opinion is in my Top 10 Albums of all time. Dr. Dre ends up on the Intro of the album (production-wise) Marshall Mathers production is also featured on a track called Going Nowhere. This track in-particularly I wanted to spotlight. Richard has a crazy beat. Statik Selektah production. Eminem comes with a catchy hook and a verse I will master by end of weekend. Bottom's Up is worth listening to all the way through.

Mac Miller 'Macadelic' Features Iman Omari! DEST
Let me get one thing clear, I respect what Mac Miller does, but I'm not a fan at all. So with that being said, the only reason I am posting on this guy is because he dropped a new mixtape today called Macadelic. Good production, but the catch is friend and Next In Show Featured Artist Iman Omari is featured on two tracks and produced one of them. One song called Sunlight produced by Teddy Roxpin which sounds like it was co produced by Iman, is a mellow california stoners trip. The stand out track on the whole mixtape is Fight The Feeling featuring Iman Omari & Kendrick Lamar. Let's just say Iman kills the hook, metaphorically. This is a huge step for Iman in my opinion. The exposure is sure to finally get him respect on a professional level. Congratulations. Next In Show rides for you and the DESTO's.
'The Cabin In The Woods' Truth Or Dare Scene [Video]
The Drew Goddard horror flick The Cabin In The Woods seems a little basic to me. I would definitely do a better job acting than 99% of the cast selected. My friends have told me so, with that said I'm sure you'll agree the selected scene doesn't make you want to jump out of your seat or go sit in a seat to see this. Perhaps I will be swayed into going if they release a hundred trailers like they're doing for Wrath Of The Titans. You can cut and paste the whole movie together from their previews alone. Sigh...

Next In Show Exclusive SXSW Mini Interviews W/ Ryshon Jones L./\. & Lyriciss
SXSW came, great performances went down, and it definitely conquered all media for 7 days. Unfortunately Next In Show couldn't make it out this year, but we are planning big things for 2013. A few of my friends and featured artists on our blog made it down and were privelaged enough to perform. L./\ considered it a "great stepping stone in her learning process...". Lyriciss made his return this year to the festival and said "it was bigger for me this year". Ryshon Jones not only met superproducer legend 9th Wonder, but also got to perform at 2 showcases including one opening for Schoolboy Q. Read below my exclusive mini interviews with these three artists.
SXSW Interviews
Ryshon Jones
How was your debut at SXSW?
How was your debut at SXSW?
It was awesome the crowd was on point everything felt good it was the first time I enjoyed a performance of my self.
What showcases did you participate in?
I was on the bombonem/uheardthatnew stage with sts john conor. laws and a few others
How did you end up opening for School Boy Q?
i was actually removed from the show wont even say why
Besides your own performance, do you think any other performance were buzzworthy?
I think by. far 50cent performing was the most popular show.
What was it like to meet hip-hop legend 9th Wonder?
It was crazy he knew of me we didnt talk much but it was enough for me
Do you think SXSW helped grow your fanbase?
I dont think I did enough down there but I promise next year will be a whole diffrent ball game
L./\
What was it like for you to perform at such an epic festival like SXSW?
What was it like for you to perform at such an epic festival like SXSW?
Firstly its a blessed experience to be in the presence of so much art and artists. The whole week was a great stepping stone in my learning process and was also beneficial to my growth as an artist. As for my performance it was really dope especially with all these people I never met before.
What were your expectations about SXSW before going there?
I didn't really have many, I kinda knew the deal since we have festivals similar in NY like CMJ. However, my expectations as a whole for Austin was different, cause I was expecting more cowboys. :(
What showcases were you a part of?
I got to rock at the SXMW2 show with GLC, Boog Brown, Lyric Jones, Harmony Muzik and a bunch more. I also got to do some quick freestyle joints at some other spots that I can't remember lol. It was sooooo much going on.
What is one thing you learned about yourself after attending SXSW?
I learned .... that I really love music, that Hip Hop is truly life and that next year.....we go big or go home.
Congratulations on your success at SXSW.
Thanks!
I learned .... that I really love music, that Hip Hop is truly life and that next year.....we go big or go home.
Thanks!
Lyriciss
Was this your first time performing at SXSW in Austin, Texas?
Nah, actually my second year doing SXSW. This year was bigger for me, though.
What showcases were you featured in?
I was featured in "The Indie Life" concert that SmCity & Harmony Muzik put together, which featured them as performers, as well as 1982 (Statik Selektah & Termanology), Jon Connor, Rapsody, Maffew Ragazino, Pro'Verb, Nike Nando, Carlitta Durand (along with Jabee), Kooley High, Beanie Sigel, & more. I was also featured in Sean Falyon & Playboy Tre's Red Cup Party, which was under the umbrella of 3 events in one location that my label (Inner Loop Media Group) put together, dubbed "Beats, Rhymes, & Alcohol". The Red Cup Party had me, El Prez, Shawn Chrystopher, Big Rec, Stanza, & more performing. That show was dope as hell to me, because I wasn't quite hip to a lot of the performers before the show, but a lot of them were insane with it. Made me a fan out of a few of them.
I’m sure you met a lot of important and influential people. Who did you have the best conversation with?
I can't really call it, man...I like to have some good short conversations with a lot of people, and a lot of that was going on at SXSW. I've never been the type of rapper to just promote to you and walk off...I'd rather chop it up with you for a little bit and pick at your brain. I had some really good conversations with Jabari, Peter Rosenberg, Jabee, & Kane Mayfield, though. Oh, the most shocking short convo was between me and Sha Stimuli...he stopped me on the stairs after I rocked at The Red Cup Party and told me that he was a fan of my music and my live show. That shit meant a lot to me because I'm a Sha Stimuli fan. "Brooklyn Stand Up" still gets heavy plays from me, and I'm not even FROM there. He's telling me he's a fan and I literally said to him, "do you know who YOU are, though?" That was dope.
What did you do in your downtime?
I didn't really have much downtime...I found a lil' bit of time to rest at the hotel or chill with my girl, though. Aside from that, I was just walking around and performing or networking.
Was there anything you wish you would have done that maybe you didn’t get to?
More shows. I really wish I could have done more shows, but I couldn't really campaign on that because my USB malfunctioned while I was out there. So I couldn't access my show set at will. I had my DJ there for my Indie Life showcase, then I had to borrow Pro'Verb's USB for my Red Cup Party showcase. If I could have had my own USB and went 100% on getting more shows, I think I would have felt a little more satisfied.
Who did you see that had the best performance?
Hands down, Machine Gun Kelly at the SOBs 30th Anniversary show, at The Belmont. I'm not going to say too much on that...if you see the full footage of his set...the best performance, period. Big Rec is an amazing performer, along with Shawn Chrystopher. Rapsody...Oddisee...I saw a lot of dope live performances.
Congratulations on your success at SXSW.
Thanks, man, truly appreciate that! A3C's not too far away! *laughs*
Congrats to @ryshonjones @ucancallmela @lyriciss. Stay on your grind. Stay humble. #nextinshow

Next In Show Presents An Interview With Baiyu
This week we feature a multi talented individual who has not only strived in music and movies, but also graduated from Princeton University with a degree in sociology in the meantime. Baiyu is someone you will soon know if you don't know already. Her family ties to music are incredible and thats why she says her parents are her a huge part of her musical inspiration. Check out her latest music visual below for Take A Number, which was recently featured on WorldStarHipHop.com
Next In Show x Baiyu Interview
Where does your name Baiyu come from?
My name is Chinese for "white feather". My parents actually got the idea for it from a classic Chinese poem about the incredible power of human strength as something that cannot be under estimated!
Have you always lived in the states?
I actually lived in China until I was 8 and moved to the States in the 90's. It was quite a transition.
Does your family have any background in music?
Yes! In fact, my parents are a huge part of my musical inspiration and upbringing. My dad is a flute and sax player and my mom is an incredible vocalist. I used to admire her singing as she hummed tunes while doing house work. I thought she had the most amazing voice...
How did music influence your life as a young one?
I grew up around music. Sometimes I like to look through old photo albums and smile at pictures of myself putting on little musical shows for my classmates. I was surrounded by so much admiration for the arts, and so much musical prowess from my parents that I would be surprised if someone in my position turned out any differently than I did.
Before your music career took off, you graduated from Princeton with a master’s in sociology. Was that always the plan?
I wish I had a masters! I actually got a bachelors and that was the best decision I could have ever made. It wasn't actually the initial plan though - I had gone to school with the thought I was going to be an economics major with a certificate in Finance. I love the adventurous entrepreneurial aspect of the business world, but realized that most of the classes in my original field was a lot more theoretical than practical or even all that actionable. As a songwriter, I'm also a story teller, so at the end of the day, Sociology was the perfect major for me to focus on.
I wasn't always all that sure that I wanted to elevate my education to the university level before I started my music career, but am incredibly glad that I did.
You are multi talented. What else do you enjoy to do other than music?
I'm someone who's easily distracted, and someone who loves life too much to be stuck on one thing. Although music is my primary passion, and I have a feeling that it'll always hold that number one spot, I also love cinematography, I love dancing, I love fashion, and I'm an absolute foodie as well!
You have been featured in several independent movies. What do you enjoy most about acting?
I think there's something intriguing about the idea of stepping outside of your own life and your own skin to become another character. It's fun and challenging to to force yourself to act and think differently than you usually do. That in itself gave me a lot of perspective.
Your latest single and visual for Take A Number made it all the way to World Star Hip Hop earlier this week. How did that happen?
Honestly, there's a lot of things that have happened in the past few months that I couldn't believe actually happened. How the heck did I get to premiere my last music video "Together" on MTV Networks and have it end up on more than one channel on there? How did I end up at Judge Mathis' mansion doing a photo shoot for Edge Magazine? How did I get on legendary properties like SoulTrain and The Source? These are all things that I could have only dreamed about growing up.
Is there a remix?
Yes! It features the incredibly amazing Fred the Godson!
The single is off your currently released project the Fan Fair EP. What was your inspiration in putting this ep together?
This EP was meant for my fans. They make me so happy and thankful every morning that I wake up, and make me feel like my music and hard work is truly being appreciated. I wanted to make the EP as a thank you for all the happiness and support that they've blessed me with.
At the same time, I also wanted to use the EP as a means to help the victims of the tsunami in Japan a year ago. It's so important, especially if God has given you a gift, to use that not only for what it is, but also as a way to give back. The way that this EP is set up on the back end, 100% of the proceeds go towards that noble effort!
What music are you listening to on your ipod now?
Let's see: Frank Ocean, Jill Scott, Jhene Aiko, Rihanna, John Mayer, Usher, Kanye...
What are you looking forward to next?
I'm looking forward to way too much! I have another independent film that's coming out in the next few months, a new EP called "Hunter" slated for a summer release, a book of poetry & lyrics by that same name, a graphic novel and animated series called "The Illuminators" and a ton of great magazine features as well as music videos.
What is one piece of advice that you have used so far through your life journey?
My one piece of advice is to be grateful. Be grateful for you past, be grateful for your present, and be even more grateful for the amazing future that you are going to have.
Thanks Baiyu. Your Next In Show.
