This is the best double music video that I’ve seen in a long time and I’m glad to share it with the masses. Not only because I helped work on the project and I’m closely linked with ‘Vinc and Waajeed, but as a Detroiter, this is the view of my city that I wish more of the world saw. Detroit is not a ghost-town. The city is alive, surviving just fine, and definitely vibrant in the summer time. Enjoy.

Invincible + Waajeed – “Detroit Summer”/”Emergence” from EMERGENCE Media on Vimeo.

One of the album’s slated to drop in early 2011 that I’m most looking forward to is a full length LP from Invincible and Waajeed. They first linked up musically on the Platinum Pied Pipers Triple P album a few years back with the song “Detroit Winter.” So it’s appropriate that their current track is called “Detroit Summer”… plus if you’ve ever been there, summertime in Detroit is the shit. Listen to a radio rip of the tune above.

The duo are releasing a split 7-inch vinyl album called Detroit Summer on August 10 which you can pre-order here. Do it. Also, check out video shot by yours truly of Invincible premiering this track live at the Allied Media Conference. Read the rest of this entry »

In interweb time, an album from 2005 counts as an oldie – am I right??? Maybe, maybe not, but either way Triple P by Platinum Pied Pipers has stood the test of time. Waajeed and Saadiq’s first album remains exactly what it was five years ago, soul for a modern world.

Good for a sunny day and good for a rainy day. Wherever you are, enjoy it. As always, we encourage you to support your folks and buy something for once, but we know how it goes too.

And for some more flavor, get that DJ Topspin/Waajeed PPP Remixtape right here too – blends, flips and straight up neck breakage.
