Zone out with Jeru

This weekend, due to an unexpected surgery on thursday, I had to chill all weekend. Chilling with the headphones in, zoned out, this was the smoothest audio wave to pass through the speakers. Sit back relax and turn it up on this one.

Black History Month..Better Late Then Never

For this week, since it was my turn, I didn't really have a particular rapper in mind that I wanted to write about. I could of picked your classic rapper like Nas, Tribe Called Quest, Black Moon, Biggie, Pac, Camp Lo, really any one. But if you don't know any of us from Blah Ze Blah, know that we are all old souls. Give me a turntable and a bin of Lps, you won't see me for days. So this week, in honor of one of my favorite producers, artist, musicians of all time:



Barry White

Barry White had one of the dopest, most unique and distinct sounds of his time. There is no denying that whenever Barry White was on a song, it was his own, he had those select strings, crisp drums, smooth beats. His sound, will forever be remembered. There aren't many artists out there where you can say by just listening to them that this is a "soo and soo's" song or "soo and soo" produced this.


His sound, reached out to hundreds if not thousands of producers in the Hip Hop world. Millions of songs from All About The Benjamin, to many Nas songs, to I Gotcha Open, and the endless other rap songs out have samples of Barry White. Even his other artist had such smooth and beautiful sounds, mainly to his production. Love Unlimited, Gloria Scott and Tom Brock, all have class albums in my mind. The man is undeniably a legend and that's why we honor Barry White! Thank you for all that you've done for music!

Black History Month

So as the post continues its my day to present to you a song for the notorious black history month. I thought about groups and solo artists that have impacted me in different ways and one group that stood out in my mind was Little Brother. If you haven't heard there music from top to bottom the production is untouchable. I mean it is 9th wonder what do you expect.







The track speaks itself


Peace!

Accessories: Buttons & Pins

In talking with Kreemo and looking at companies such as Dee and Ricky, it has inspired us to start designing some buttons. A button is a nice, subtle piece that compliments a piece such as a hat, jacket or bag. Similar to a patch, it can make something so plain, more unique and personal. Soon enough, BlahZEblah buttons will be in the works. Stay tuned for updates.

¡BlaH!: A Scenario That Seems All To Familiar

Watching this video, First off I couldn't help but laugh at Curren$y, it just doesn't get old. The face, the voice, just EW. Second of all, we all have been in a situation where you've been out drinking, having fun, and then one chick always has to come and start some havoc. That's just a situation that's all to familiar.

Dee and Ricky

Dee and Ricky, twin brothers out of New York, New York have been in the fashion scene for a couple years now. Each year they've been expanding and introducing new creative ideas to the fashion and accessory game.




They started out with such a simple but tough idea of taking legos and making different shaped pins/buttons. They're idea, brewed up in there home in New York, reached popularity with celebrities such as Kanye West and fashion designers like Marc Jacob. Now that they have been successful with that, they went back to the drawing board and cooked up a new idea for another accessory. This time, they are making bags out of vintage starter team jackets.

Watch the NY1 interview of the brothers here (click this link)


The video is inspiring to be different, makes you want to brainstorm: What can we do to be bring something slightly unique to the game?

Herds of the Fathers make leather accessories..

Dee and Ricky make lego accessories and bags...

In the words of Nas: "No idea is original under the sun, its never what you do but how its done" and with that said and looking at fashion today, it really inspires me to fall into brainstorm mode and think, what can BlahZeBlah bring to the table to turn some heads.... In due time, we will see

Black History Month

So It's the time of the year where us black folk take pride in our month, It seems like actors, activist and other black iconic figures get praised for black history month except rappers! Which I disagree with so every Tuesday for the next month we'll be posting some of our favorite videos from our African American Emcee's

For Todays Pick I had to go with hip hops lengendary trio De La Soul - Ring Ring Ring. A couple years back I got to catch up with De La Soul and unlike most rappers in the game, after many years you can still tell there in the industry for one reason and one reason only, the love of Hip-Hop.

De La Soul has made a big impact not only in the rap game but in rap culture standing strong still preforming shows dispite there age . 7 Albums deep, These dudes could agruebly be the best hip hop group to date.

Not to mention they have two of the best looking Nike Sb dunks honored after them

Moruf

"Bachelors" by Moruf "Moo" from B.L.V.D. productions on Vimeo.

Stumbled across this video of an upcoming artist out of New Jersey named Moruf. Like he says in the video he pretty much gets inspired from just about anyhting and anyone. With that said you will start to see things coming to life with our camp.

Moruf- Garden State of Mind(Prelude)

Peace!
