Big K.R.I.T. - Return of 4eva

New Video & Single from Rockwell Powers & Ill Pill

____________________
With the release of our new album, "Kids in the Back 2" less than 3 weeks away (4.16.11, release show flier is attached) Ill Pill and I thought it was time to release the album intro, "Welcome to the Back" which introduces a lot of the topics and themes of the project. Local photographer, director, and graphic/web designer Michael Pierce (of 253hiphop.com) and I have been talking about working together for a long time and decided this was the right song to build on. We filmed in downtown Tacoma in the theater district, all shots where less than 3 blocks away from my apartment, reflecting the surroundings that inspired a lot of the album.

Hope you'll check it out and if you dig it post it on your twitter, facebook, and blogs.

peace and thanks,

Rockwell

Biggie Smallz iz da iLLest!!

14 years ago today we lost a legendary MC, who still in my opinion, didnt reach his prime! Christopher Wallace made his debut into the hiphop world in 1994 with his classic album "Ready To Die." The album contained chart topping hits like "Big Poppa," "One More Chance," and a personal favorite of mine "Juicy." He went onto drop a second catalog title "Life After Death." Not long after the release of his sophomore project, Biggie was caught in between, what i believe was a string of bad communication and police corruption. On March 8th, 1997, Biggie traveled to LA to attend the Soul Train Music Awards. Later on that same night, Big attended a Vibe after party.Biggie was later gunned down at stop light in LA that same night after leaving the party. Today we celebrate not the death of biggie, but the legacy he left behind.
