Height Keech Shares 8-bit Scott Bryce Taylor-directed "COMPUTER ROCKER" Music Video (Cold Rhymes Records/Nonstop Everything)


Height Keech is arguably, as successful as one one could ever imagine to get as an Underground/Indie Hip-Hop emcee. A figurehead within the Baltimore/East Coast Alt. Hip-Hop scenes since 1999 with now-defunct crew Wounds, Height recently started producing his own and others' music and released four of his own albums last year, as well as a career-spanning "Guest Spots" compilation. In recent years, Height turned his long-standing, loosely-formatted imprint, Cold Rhymes Records into a full-fledged functioning label powerhouse. Just this year alone, Cold Rhymes has issued albums from MISTER, Off The Meat Rack, Height, and the "Ariel Pink of Hip-Hop," Darko The Super, as well as a label-encompassing compilation, three of which were produced by Height Keech himself. Height's most recent album, COMPUTER ROCKER, showcases close friend and touring/label mate MISTER as a "Featured MC" throughout in an almost B-Legit right-hand man-esque capacity to Height's E-40-caliber top-billing. Just yesterday afternoon, prior to embarking on the second leg of his COMPUTER ROCKER TOUR with partners-in-rhyme MISTER, Goldzilla & Eddie Logix, Height Keech surprise-released a proper music video for COMPUTER ROCKER's title track and lead single.


"COMPUTER ROCKER" stars Height as himself and Jackson O'Connell-Barlow AKA Mrs.Paintbrush as computer rockin' "Flayant Ordinateur" in a grainy 8-bit video treatment, vaguely reminiscent of Minecraft. It was shot, edited, directed, effected, and conceptualized by Scott Bryce Taylor for Nonstop Everything (@nonstopeveryall) and produced by Jacob Harver, Height Keech & Nonstop Everything Productions. Both MISTER-assisted COMPUTER ROCKER and Darko The Super's Height-produced STORIES OF A MADE UP YEAR are currently available to stream or download on Cold Rhymes Records' Bandcamp page. Next up on Cold Rhymes' 2018 release schedule is North Carolina Hip-Hop/Folk duo Speak N' Eye's Height-produced Cypher At The Gates of Dawn (CATGOD) dropping Monday, June 18th. For an audiophonic preview of the remainder of Cold Rhymes Records' 2018 release roll-out, ch-check out their label-wide comp. THERE ISN'T VERY MUCH TIME: 14 ICE-COLD DEVASTATORS FROM COLD RHYMES RECORDS. All 14 frigid sub-zero cuts were graciously broken down track-by-track by Height Keech and his ENTIRE Cold Rhymin' crew exclusively for The Witzard.

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll .

That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
