Cavanaugh (Open Mike Eagle & Serengeti) – ‘Screen Play’, produced by Open Mike Eagle.
Video shot/directed/edited – Ryan Calavano
In a new urban development on the far west side of detroit, Florida, its mandated by a 5 to 4 city council vote that a new housing structure be erected that has both luxury condominium units available for private ownership and section 7 housing in the same building.
Via separate entrances the Cavanaugh building services two very different populations. And though the lifestyles of the residents vary, each unit relies on the same system of pipes and wiring and are serviced by the same crew. mike and dave have a combined 14 years of experience in Cavanaugh maintenance. They usually work drunk, mumbling greetings to the residents, soaking up all the disdain that the higher and lower income inhabitants have for each other. they talk shit to each other all day. they take turns talking shit and dont listen while the other is talking. complaining about their home lives, spinning passive aggressive tales where they pretend to be angrier, stronger, more expressive men.
their album is called ‘Time and Materials’. digital and cassette preorders available now
OneFourz is a HipHop MC/Writer/Singer hailing from West London, who is known to deliver the dark depths of his journey capturing raw emotions with charismatic flows to express his experiences and bring together his clever wordplay and energy.

OneFourz has also released his second EP titled ‘One Four My Peepz’ featuring some of the genres finest MC’s (including the brilliant duo Brotherhood) which is available for free at www.onefourz.com It is a powerful hard hitting ride through his mesmerizing sound and thunderous flows as well as the alternative conscious rhyming he has to offer on this infectious EP.
One Fourz brand new EP ‘Grown Folk Music’ is a open and honest pice of music speaking on some of his highs and lows of life as well addressing his thoughts and feeling of getting in to relationships. With a wealth of UK producers this dope project is very refreshing.

Phat Kat (born Ronnie Watts) is perhaps best known for being a favorite collaborator of the late great J Dilla (AKA Jay Dee). Phat Kat’s career began in the mid-90’s as a part of the group known as 1st Down; which consisted of Phat Kat as vocalist and J Dilla on production. A chance encounter in a Detroit record store with Gang Starr turned into an exchange of heaping praise onto one another; DJ Premier and Guru then put 1st Down in touch with their then label (Pay Day Records) where they signed a deal and released the classic “A Day With The Homiez.”
1st Down may have been short-lived, but the two continued to collaborate on many occasions afterwards, starting with a celebrated appearance on “Fat Cat Song” and its eventual remix which appeared on Slum Village’s Fan-Tas-Tic Vol. 1 (and it was later remixed by Flying Lotus), Dabrye’s “Game Over” f/ J Dilla, and into Dilla’s solo-career, including appearances on Welcome 2 Detroit and appearances on three subsequent Slum Village albums. Phat Kat also guested on Black Milk’s solo album Popular Demand.
Phat Kat’s debut album ‘The Undeniable’ LP was released in 2004 on Barak Records and featured appearances from Slum Village, Dwele, Obie Trice, MC Breed and Black Milk. Shortly thereafter, he released the J Dilla produced single, “Cold Steel,” and followed it up with his sophomore album Carte Blanche, his most universally acknowledged project to date, which featured Elzhi, Black Milk, T3, House Shoes & Guilty Simpson and production from Young RJ, Black Milk (4 tracks) and J Dilla (5 tracks).
‘Rededication To The Suckers’ is Phat Kat’s long-awaited return from hiatus and you can hear it now via the Detroit Free Press “Free Spin” Premiere and his first full-length album in a decade features appearances from Elzhi, Guilty Simpson & DJ Dez and is produced in its entirety by the London-based producer Agor. It will be available on 12’ LP alongside a full-set of Euro exclusive remixes and as a deluxe double edition in digital format.
Phat Kat’s ‘Rededication’ is now available on vinyl and digital and he will also be headed out for an extensive European Tour this winter alongside Guilty Simpson.
