LOOSE LOGIC FEAT JADAKISS
Southland rapper Loose Logic is back with a second full length album, Perception. Like his past work, this album mines the landscape of Loose Logic’s world, from the horrific suicide of an ex-girlfriend to the astonishing birth of his baby daughter. The result is something more refined and mature than his past work–but still something everyone can relate to.
“Everything is about where you are in your life,” explains Loose Logic. “I’m in a really different place, so my perception is different.”

OWLLE VIDEO “CREED”
“Washed ashore on the beaches of Malibu, CA was where my Persian family adopted me. My name is Permaid, also known as The Persian Mermaid. At times, I feel like a fish out of water. My days course through the ebb and flow of life’s struggles as well as its feats. As a child I was out casted, misunderstood, and ridiculed. As I grew into adulthood I learned to accept and take strength in my differences. I’ve embraced the light as well as the dark that embodies me. Some people say I’m sexy but this is not always my intent. More than anything, I yearn to smile back at your smiling face.” – Permaid

ALVIN YOUNGBLOOD HART RELEASES “STEREOPTYPE DEFYING” DEBUT SINGLE
Described as the “cosmic American love child of Howlin’ Wolf and Link Wray,” Grammy-winning singer and guitarist Alvin Youngblood Hart has created a bristling debut single for Fat Possum Records’ subsidiary label Big Legal Mess that bridges foundational garage-punk from the 1960s, modernist rock storytelling and six-string heroism. “Helluva Way (For a Man To Make a Living)” backed with “Watchin’ Brian Jones” packs two sides of brass-knuckled guitar and Hart’s sweet-tea-with-raw-ginger singing onto high quality vinyl wrapped in a sleeve that captures his retro-nuevo balance with a fish-eye lens photo of the dreadlocked road warrior brandishing his Flying V guitar.
