Really diggin’ this video Curren$y and Creative Control put out for the track “Nuthin But Us” feat. Smoke DZA. Not only is the track fire, the no-gravity space theme is gangster.

I still think Creative Control are putting the cleanest visual shorts and vids out there right now. The style is on point. If you haven’t checked out their stuff, make sure and do it here.

I’m feeling real R2D2 in here right now!! Haha. #jetlife

Video for Chip tha Ripper’s “Here I Am” produced by 6th Sense. This is a dope track. Gotta show luv for Chip and all of the SLABUP crew. Also 6th Sense, who’s tracks I always dig. Peep his new instrumental mixtape, “Yo, It’s a 6th Sense Beat Yo!! Vol.2″ here.

Looking forward to kickin’ it with Chip and company as the Gift Raps tour hits Houston and Austin August 6-7th.

Shouts to NahRight for the info.

Local, Austin, TX DJ Rock Well is ding is thing lately with a grip of shows and mixtape drops. Bringing his own flavor to the game, Rock Well’s is bringing this flavor to the table with his first official album, “The Wonderful World of Sound.” brought to you by DJ Rock Well & Complete Clothing.

Your Friendly Neighborhood DJ otherwise known as Rock Well has been a producer/DJ for 3 years now. This is his first album featuring half instrumentals with artistic cuts and half MC driven tracks. All beats are 100% original and produced by Rock Well himself. The idea for this album was to show everyone the potential of a DJ/producer that can utilize cuts as a melodic technique as well as bring together a number of MC’s for a single project. So if you’re ready for the next level in original hip hop music, then please enjoy “The Wonderful World of Sound.”

We’ve had a bunch of video come through from SXSW of all the shows that we checked out and artists we work with. So much so that I have been quite lazy about posting any of them. Many apologies people, but honestly there’s a grip of videos at every major music blog (NahRight, OnSmash, SmokingSection, 2DopeBoys, etc.) that you can check out if you need a fix.

Our video homie Nino, who somehow ended up on every damn stage with camera in hand the entire week, got some great footage and we’re hoping to have that all up and posted very soon. You can barely see him in there rockin’ The 3rd’s Flyin’ High shirt in this particular video to the left. Also, big shouts to the homie Mousa killin’ the new limited edition gray Pin It Up shirt on the right side of the stage (also a little tough to see).

This is a video of Wiz Khalifa performing a few tracks including him bringing out Jackie Chain at the NahRight x Smoking Section Grand Ole Party at Peckerheads during SXSW 2010.

Enjoy!

Here is another heat rocket from the homie Curren$y, “Prioritize (Beeper Bill)” feat. Nesby Phips. This track is fire, adding to Spitta’s latest onslaught of tracks and videos proving why he is such a force in the game. Paying homage to some vintage Outkast in the hook, Prioritize is a smooth ride on the JETS plane.

And if you hadn’t noticed, this is ANOTHER killer video done by Creative Control TV. Their quality videos and editing are sitting high and above any of the lame editing that has been put out on the net lately. If you aren’t familiar with them yet, do yourself a favor… get from under that rock, and peep em here. If CC is listening, “Let’s do a 3rd ID interview video ASAP!!!” Hahaha!

“… Pay yo fuggin’ beeper bill, bitch!!!”

This past Friday, February 12th, Wale made his way down to Austin, Texas for a show at Republic Live. With opening acts by 3rd ID’s close partner, Problem Child (among others) the show was definitely on point. There was also a meet ‘n greet at Complete Clothing earlier in the day where he signed autographs, took pictures and chatted with fans. Peep some pictures at Complete’s website here. We were lucky enough to toss him some 3rd ID shirts and chopped it up with him for a few minutes.

Performing tracks off his debut “Attention Deficit” album as well as past jams from his older mixtapes, Wale put on a great show and showed Texas what DC hip-hop is all about. He also showed mad love for Texas and UT sports with plenty of player name drops in his lyrics like Colt McCoy and Wale’s own friend, and DC native, Kevin Durant.

To add some fun to the show, Wale was broadcasting the show live via his uStream account for all to see.

We’re looking forward to the next Wale show and maybe he will be back in town for this year’s SXSW festival.

One Neck, Two Chains Interview with the homie Curren$y after his show in Austin, TX at Aces lounge on 6th St. the other night. Pretty funny interview.

We were lucky enough to kick it with Spitta during his trip thru ATX and climbed many a tree together with him, the JETS and the SIKKISCLOTHING crew.

JETS x 3rd ID all day…

Great night!!
