Shake — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 17:52:45 +0000

Shouts to OnSMASH on the world premiere…

R.A.R.E. (Reliving A Real Experience) is the latest and most introspective project from Richmond, VA artist Nickelus F. It’s a passion project that delves into Nick’s thoughts about his career, life & music.

Nickelus F gives new life to Portishead’s classic material on this project without taking away from the original mean and sound of Portishead’s production and lyrics.

R.A.R.E. (Reliving A Real Experience) is also a lead into more original work with Portishead that will surface in Fall/Winter 2009. Nickelus F & his band Silverust are working on music with Portishead front man Geoff Borrow that will be released in the UK and of course can be found online.

There seriously used to be a time where I would ask about this duo for their CD they had back in ‘06, because I dug what I’d seen at a show way back when. But when Google can’t even find your shit, I just kinda stopped searching. GOod to see that they’re still around.

Mickey Factz – Machine Gun (The Leak)

Shake — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 17:58:42 +0000

“Self defense equals freedom”

Although a few people have gotten over this Portishead track (Spec Boogie, Wildahead Portibeast), Mickey came through and did his thing. People die all the time. Some out of anger, some out of protection, some out of revenge. This song breaks down all 3, over a crazy sample. Thru the eys of 3 people, I narrate the destruction of machine guns. – Mickey Factz. With his video being added to MTV2’s rotation, Factz is starting to heat up. Check after the jump for info on his upcoming show with Amanda Diva at SOBs.

The good folks at illRoots hook up with my man 6th Sense and his partner in crime Wildabeast for a pretty sweet Portishead related project. I know there are some fans out there so check this out. 6th chops and mixes some classic Portishead to lay the canvas as his rhyming brethren Wildabeast rips them to pieces. I dig it. You should too. Check after the jump for the usual as well as a video from Wildabeast about his inspiration with the project.
