L’Orange & Stik Figa – Smoke Rings [Video]

Taken from L’Orange & Stik Figa’s upcoming LP “The City Under The City”. Pre-order now on iTunes. October 15th is the date. With L’Orange & Stik Figa’s new album The City Under The City less than two weeks away, today we are pleased to bring you the first visuals for the project. Set in the steel remains of a burnt out building, Stik Figa weaves his way in and out between worlds of smokey grey and rich color. The setting itself a metaphor, the rich foliage growing from the concrete walls, blends into the background while evoking a sense of life growing from under the city.

Stik Figa – Flaudgin [Video + MP3]

Produced by Michael “Seven” Summers. Directed by Dom Visions. Download the MP3 here. Take a spin through Topeka, Kansas with Stik Figa in his video for “Flaudgin,” a carefree joyride through the blue-collar Midwest. Sure, Stik can get on his MC ish when need be, he can kick a thought-provoking verse when the occasion calls for it, but the Midwest rhymer is just as comfortable crafting something smooth for you to ride to. “Flaudgin,” a standout cut from his Mello Music debut As Himself, is just that, music for the Cuttys, Regals, Chevys and ‘Prices that represent Stik’s native city. The title term is local slang for frontin’ or otherwise posturing, just like the weave-equipped woman who’s hair Stik calls out in the track, right after the former calls him out on his rented ride. The straightforward and subdued video plays out like a mellow cruise through Stik’s hometown. There’s no million-dollar budgets here, no pyrotechnics or CGI, but Stik injects every shot with down to earth personality, making even the simplest of sceneries exude charm.

Stik Figa – Medicine [Audio x Download]

Off Stik Figa’s album “As Himself“. Stik Figa’s newest single “Medicine” incorporates all the tried and true elements that initially made Hip-Hop a cultural movement: sharp insight and clever wordplay backed by a re-configuration of the powerful music of yesterday. As soon as producer Michael “Seven” Summers (Kendrick Lamar, Busta Rhymes) sets loose the undeniable bass line and programmed drums, Stik Figa hits the ground running questioning the metrics of masculinity; drawing parallels between the motivation behind armed robbery and playing the lotto; and explaining how for many “Ready to Die is a religion and philosophy.” By the time the organ picks up in the song, you’ll find yourself keeping pace right along with him. The ideal track for those of us who prefer to listen to artists we can relate to: prescribe yourself a dose of Stik Figa’s “Medicine” and see if it doesn’t soothe your soul. “The Medicine has yet to be discovered, or uncovered by science. The potion removes apathy and hate from our society. Do you have it?” – Stik Figa Medicine by Stik Figa Previously: Stik Figa – Absitively [Audio x Download]
