Webisode 6 Ft. Producer Vann Clayton
Posted by M Boogie on Feb 23, 2010

Please install the latest Flash player.

We are proud to present Vann Clayton in our first webisode featuring a producer. He's behind many of the Spliff alumni's hits and we used his beat "Get Large" for our intro directed by Phil Davis. I've been a fan since. You can usually catch him at the bi-monthly BANANAS event organized by VerBS where he's produces mean beats live.
Vann talks us through some of his collaborations with H.O.P.E, Kail, VerBS and CP. He also tells us about his relationship with acclaimed producer Warryn Cambell and his school years with Nipsey Hussle.
A big shout out to Stephanie Rennie who did a great job editing the webisode.

LA STEREO New Webisode THE 87 STICK UP KIDS "Bounce Rock Roll"
Posted by LAstereo on Dec 8, 2009

Please install the latest Flash player.

Finally a new webisode of our LA STEREO series, hosted by DJ Val the Vandle. Admittedly it's been two weeks... but we have a few more in reserve.
The 87 STick UP Kids are great performers, U-N-I described to us how sharing the stage with them always got them even more energized for their own performance.
The Stick Up Kids will be relasing a new album on January but in the meantime you can find them sharing the stage with U-N-I once again this Friday at the Viper Room.
We're fans so hopefully you should hear more about them here..
Shout out to Kejah Murray for editing and filming the ep in his spare time as a busy USC film student.
Stay tuned.
