Bringin It Back & 320 by Lucid Music off "Adventures Of The Invisible Band" available now! Lucid Music can best be described as "that old boom bap,” utilizing hip-hop’s bare essentials of microphones, turntables and records to create a new fresh sound. Consisting of two emcees and a deejay, the crew maintains the very vibe that caused most of us to fall in love with hip-hop in the first place. Adventures Of The Invisible Band is Lucid Music’s fourth independent release (distributed by legendary label Bomb Hip-Hop) and is a perfect example of the trio’s raw take on an art form besieged by masochistic lyrics, violent imagery and cookie cutter production. Lucid Music offers an alternative, incorporating fast paced drums and thoughtful rhymes over samples ranging from jazz to early 70′s rock. Lucid Music have toured throughout Chicago, Detroit, West Virginia and New York performing at venues such as Webster Hall and The Hard Rock Cafe. Uptempo profanity free rhymes mixed with technical displays of turntablism ensures audiences of all ages they’re in for a treat and a good time from a live performance.

Pharoahe Monch Honors Oct 22nd: National Day of Protest to Stop Police BrutalityClap (One Day) from W.A.R. Media on Vimeo Pharoahe Monch Releases Live Footage of "Clap (One Day)" Last month Pharoahe Monch premiered his anti-police brutality anthem "Clap (One Day)", to a sold out crowd at the Jazz Cafe in London. "Clap (One Day)" is the new single from his upcoming album, W.A.R. (We Are Renegades), to be released through W.A.R. Media and Duck Down in February 2011. This never seen before footage features Pharoahe's passionate and intricate delivery, alongside vocalists Showtyme and Mela Machinko, and DJ Boogie Blind. Pharoahe explains the inspiration for the song; "Instead of protect and serve, police often escalate situations, as with the cases of Sean Bell, Oscar Grant, or Aiyana Stanley Jones, and hundreds more who fell victim to police violence. I wrote this song to express my frustration, as well as raise the question of how our communities can create safety and prevent violence, with out relying on police." The release of this footage coincides with the October 22nd- National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality. This year is the 15th annual October 22nd, organized by communities around the country who commit to participating in local actions and events against police brutality, and work towards building community safety alternatives. People who want to stand in solidarity with October 22nd can wear all black, in memory of thousands of lives stolen by law enforcement killings. Despite the song title's multiple meanings, "Clap (One Day)" does not advocate violence against police. Pharoahe adds a personal perspective; "My brother is a police officer so I know there are some well intentioned people wearing blue uniforms. But the issue of police violence is much bigger than good cops and bad cops, it comes down to a broken system which criminalizes our communities, and must be completely transformed." The video can be viewed here: http://vimeo.com/16061503. A short film and music video for "Clap (One Day)" will be out December 2010
