I drove up to Oslo this over Easter to see G-Side live, a seven hour drive I didn’t mind at all, since Alabamas G-Side is one of the best rap groups I’ve been around to see come up. And I know some of yall enjoyed their album Huntsville International from last year. I don’t have any videos or pictures of my own, since I never bothered to buy a camera, instead I invest all my money in memories, created by alcohol. So all I can tell you is I have memories of the show being awesome, rappers Clova and ST 2 Lettaz are very pleasent and cool people, as are their manager Codie G, producer CP The Dream, their DJ DJ Dirrty, the their entire crew.
Luckily alot of other people did bring their cameras, and I’m sure they don’t mind me posting their videos right here…. So I will, I wouldn’t though if the vidoes where of as poor quality as live clips usually are. The duos energy shows really good, and makes this videos must-sees for any fans of great rap music (in my opinion). The first clip has suprisingly good sound and visibility for a club concert, maybe because the norwegians now to spend money on good soundsystem and have prohibited smoking in clubs so you can film and actually see shit. Right this first video starts off with short interview before the show kicks off..
A lil while after the show was over, the crew came back down from backstage and joined the Southern Hospitality crew, who was DJ’ing, behind the booth and kicked off some extra few songs from right there. There’s a video of that too:
Tell me they can’t rock a show..
Before leaving Norway G-Side had time to record a brand new song and video, produced by local talent Basmo Beats and featured by one of Norways most famous the wedding singers and rappers, Chriss Lee. Here’s that video:
Pictures and videos courtesy of 30 Pack, Codie G and Club Juicy. Great night. In case you missed it, you can find G-Sides last record right here at WYDU.
Hello internets! For those of you who already checked this out, I’m mean it’s been out for damn near a week, what do you think? What does this part of the internet think of G-Side from Huntsville, Alabama?
I realize rap music from the southern part of the South, a rap group hipster-dude-person Diplo has somehow been involved with, this might not be what you think you could enjoy listening to. Some of you might not even wan’t to read or even hear about it. Well, I’m writing about it, and I’m sharing the music because it is very very good and totally free. The people at the Huntsville based record label Slow Motion Soundz posted this album for the world to download themselfs and I don’t even think physical copies are available yet.
I did write about G-Side about a year ago somewhere else, that’ right about the when I first heard of them and was lucky enough to hear their music. Beats are something way different, all the little tiny sounds and weird samples they use, weird techno samples that doesn’t sound too like garbage like all techno ever made.. I have never been able to explain music in a way anyone could understand, so I’m not even going to try this time… I have to say I’m still not as sold on H.I.P. as I was on their last album Starshipz & Rocketz, but nonetheless I consider it one of the best releases of the year. Throughout quality, only thing annoying is the skits, but when are skits not annoying right? Compared to Starshipz & Rocketz the two rappers ST 2 Lettaz and Clova are even better than they where then, and The Block Beatz production is amazing this time too.
Also, they sample DJ Magic Mike and use it as a chorus, you know I’m feeling the bass.
