Per-Fekt – I Got It [Video]

P.R. 0 Comments

In his new video for “I Got It,” Brooklyn rapper Per-Fekt captures the fire of creativity and artistic expression with some help from director Adio Ash (Joyner Lucas, Big O). The emcee serves as the host to a personal trip through a performance hall, where a ballerina prepares her routine, b-boys perfect their choreography, a violinist lays down some chords in the studio, and Per-Fekt himself drops bars to his new track. On its own, “I Got It” is a testament to Hip-Hop’s roots, which the BK spitter touches on throughout the uplifting and determined track. It’s produced by Chris Prythm, who supplies the head-nodding instrumental that shifts from raw breaks to layered instrumentation, while thoroughly complementing Per-Fekt’s energy. And in its visual form, “I Got It” nails just what it means to be an artist who’s proud of his work, but also aware of what goes into creating it. It’s also a strong preview of what’s to come from Per-Fekt, who is putting the finishing touches on his upcoming solo debut project, ‘Nobody’s Perfekt.’ Check out the visuals, and if you’d like to support, head on over to iTunes where the .mp3 is available for download via Gittuff Entertainment. Be on the lookout for more details about ‘Nobody’s Perfekt’ in the coming weeks.

Brooklyn rapper, Manolo Rose is known for his “Run Ricky Run” hit sits down with VladTV to talk about growing up in Marcy projects, becoming involved with the street life at 15, and losing his best friend and dad early on in his life. Manolo explains the dichotomy that comes with growing up in an urban environment with a mother that has a Masters Degree and a father who eventually succumbed to drug addiction and ended up dying of AIDS. “I look at old pictures of pops and stuff like that, and I see it, and it was like, ‘Dang! He was the man at that time.’ But then you get caught up,” reveals the rapper. He then goes on to vocalize how his father’s drug problem could be an aftereffect of his time spent fighting during the Vietnam war. Manolo also discusses how he regrets being a part of the streets so early, and how that lifestyle led to the death of his friend. He then disputes with Vlad about why he feels McDonald’s workers should be granted a living wage, to avoid the desperation of having to run the streets to survive.

Freddy Foxx also known as Bumpy Knuckles sat down with VladTV to talk about his reasoning for leaving MCA, how his relationship was with Shakim and Queen Latifah was after leaving Flavor Unit, and opens up about his ultimate disdain for music executive Steve Stoute. Like so many artists, leaving on amicable terms is very rare, and in Bumpy’s case, he tells us that issues with his A&R and the MCA shelving his record were the initial cause of his departure. “I was eager to get to work. I wanted to do promo. I wanted to do all kinds of stuff.” He said, “Everything happened from them stealing marketing budgets and pocketing the money to stupid s***.” In 1993, Bumpy teamed up with Treach to jump on “Hot Potato” on NaughtByNature’s 19 Naughty III album and from there he says Shakim heard it and wanted to give him a deal with Flavor Unit, which was under Epic. Unfortunately, the rapper says that he wanted to maintain a Boom Bap sound still and teamed up with Diggin’ in the Crates to master that sound, which didn’t sit well with members of Flavor Unit who wanted another sound for the album. In turn, Bumpy says he has to reproduce the album resulting in two projects which were later shelved after issues between the Unit and Epic records. Unhappy with the outcome and the lack of communication, he says he departed from the clique with resentment. Since then, Bumpy says he’s made amends
