The Five One is back! Get ready for a revolutionary record release process from these music gurus… you’ll see what I mean soon enough. “The Green Complex” was a major hit, but was just a beginning. Their third album titled “RGB” will be released by weekly installments of a Music (tv) Series on the web! Get on their site Duece Day to sign up as a member, and catch their unique up coming approach to an album release. I love Five One for their creativity, passion, and innovation in the game. Enjoy one of my favorite records from the “Green Complex” titled “Borderline” below along with some videos from The Five One!
Aite so this post is full of goodies for ya eyes and ears, starting with yet another Chicago rapper who deserves some shine - Mic Terror! Shouts 2 Eddie for sending us the MP3s for a couple trax u may enjoy - the first being a solo track from Mic Terror, that is a cleverly dirty track with some lines that truthfully made me laugh out loud. And as a bonus DL, check out the track from M.I.A. f/ Mic Terror & Timbaland that is a typical, fast-paced banger from the hands of Timbo. I’m seriously diggin’ both those trax above so take my word and DL them and give ‘em a chance. Down below, u can learn more about Mic Terror w/ his Vimby profile!

Five One rips up this N.E.R.D. record called, “Kill Joy” off of the “Seeing Sounds” album! Not only did they REmix it with their verses on it, but they also RE-Produced it added some sections and keys to the record. It’s FIYAH! Check them out at FiveOneBand.Com
The FiveOne Band did an outstanding mix with Lupe’s “Fighters” song. It’s excellent as always. When you expect FiveOne expect Greatness. If I had a bunch of $$ I’d sign them, and make more $$$. Haha check it!

Producer: Dj MiniMaxX - FULL, CDQ, Unofficial RMX! *Tibs Fav.
The song above is another hot Dj MiniMaxX production as he took the song “Active” from The Five One Band’s album, The Green Complex (CLICK THE FIVE ONE ‘TAG’) and mashed it up with some classic verses of Common and The Notorious B.I.G. 2 create a unique hit. Definitely DL it above and check out more from The Five One Band and Dj MiniMaxX on their tags above. (Also had 2 display that SICK cover art again, haha. Saweet.)
Below, I got a couple NEW trax f/ Akon and R&B singer Karina Pasian as well as a couple REQUESTS (finally!) so keep the requests comin’ and I’ll get 2 them eventually! Also check out NEW vids f/ Nelly & Ludacris that I missed from yesterday, haha. Enjoy!
Approaching the art form of Hip-Hop as minimalists, the 3 members of FiveOneBand make their own beats using instruments on pretty much every single track! Their live shows consist of the 3 members, “Red”, “Green”, and “Blue” with their instruments giving an amazing performance. This album is a must have; just picture the Beatles mashed with your favorite rapper and you get a modern Five One Band. The music that they create perfectly compliments the innovative rap, and artistic play with lyrics & sound. The sophisticated cover art was done by this girl Katikut, also perfectly matching the aesthetic of the album. I’ve been bumpin’ this all day since it dropped yesterday! Promote if you can! Much love.
Click the link below to buy the album, and also preview the other incredible tracks from “The Green Complex”!
Get Ready For The Green Complex! The Five One Band is coming out with the album “The Green Complex”, which will feature the downloadable tracks below, and much more goodness. Tune in April 1st for that release, and the exclusive Gowhere coverage! Check their tag for more 5-1 links, and also check out the sweet videos below! (Props to 5-1’s website for their find.)
The Tap Project has kicked off on March 22nd, and is spreading everywhere! The states have been hip to it and now its going international. This is probably one of the greatest ideas of our time. It’s the most ideal marketing strategy i have ever seen, unifying the world to help itself. Watch the video and see what I mean.
Also this game looks awesomE!! I know the above video is completely opposite of this, but wow sick trailer to a must BUY game! hhaha summer everyone will be playing gta4!!
The Five One Band! “The trio’s members, Blue, Red, and Green, are the personification of colors. By Personifying color they are not only artists but art itself, and represent a lack of emphasis on individual identity, and an emphasis on creating music that strives to speak for everyone.
With an eclectic style, constant reinvention with every song, and innovative live shows, Five One strives to define themselves and their art on their own terms, and to always surprise their fans and themselves. Five One has the potential to be one of few hip hop artists that blur the line between genres and have critical acclaim as well commercial success.”
Wow I’m very impressed with how they mesh hip hop, reggae, and other sounds to make this amazing hip hop sound. It’s like Hip Hop Bob Marley! They definitely are pushing their hip hop as an Art form, instead of a cash making machine. I call it Avant-garde hip hop, because it is so innovative. I also enjoy the primary colors metaphor as these colors mashed up can make a lot of other colors! I strongly recommend to play their tracks below and visit their links to keep up with “The One Five Band”. Their sound is very positive and keeps your attention drawn, and entertained. Nod Yer Head Mann. Peace and Love.
