TETSUJIN 28 MORNING MOON OF MIDDAY
Japan, ten years after World War II. Boy detective Shoutarou solves mysteries and fights crime with the help of Tetsujin 28, the 50-foot tall giant robot left for him by his late genius father. But one day he’s shocked to learn that his father also adopted and raised another boy named Shoutarou, now a repatriated soldier. Just as surprising to our young hero is the fact that his “big brother” can also control Tetsujin, even better than he can. But with the emergence of this elder brother comes danger, as a mysterious assassin, Morning Moon, closes in on the boy for being unworthy of controlling the robot. Meanwhile, the capital faces destruction when multiple bombs are discovered, planted by the two Shoutarous’ father himself! In the original Japanese language with English subtitles.

Vennmedia Plan Tweetstorm on May 8 to Call for Greater Federal Investments in Affordable Homes and Community Development
development and concerned citizens around the city are participating in a National Twitterstorm to bring more attention to the affordable housing crisis in the community. This initiative is part of the 2nd annual Our Homes, Our Voices National Housing Week of Action. During the week of May 1-8, advocates from across the country are coordinating activities to raise awareness around the need for greater federal investments in affordable homes and community development. Vennmedia has joined this week of action because all people deserve an affordable home, and no one should be forced to give up food and basic healthcare to keep a roof over their heads.
The Tweetstorm will begin at 2pm EST and participants can use the hashtags #OurHomesOurVoices and #CutsHurt the tweets should cover importance of affordable housing, budget cuts Sample branded images can be found at: https://www.ourhomes-ourvoices.org/resources
After conducting a city based affordable housing research study, Vennmedia discovered that many citizens feel low-income families are not priorities in Chicago. Due to the shortage of affordable housing in the city and across the nation, far too many families– including low income seniors, people with disabilities, veterans, and families with children – struggle to keep a roof over their heads or are experiencing homelessness. More families are renting their homes than ever before, and our nation’s investments in affordable housing have not kept pace. As a result, rents are increasing everywhere. The studies conducted by Vennmedia also highlighted how many residents of Chicago feel as if not enough money is put into affordable housing. Because of underfunding, three out of every four families in need of housing benefits are turned away.
Vennmedia is a nonprofit organization that has been working toward economic, educational and community development utilizing new media technology to create social change. They have been dedicated in offering top quality digital media courses, computer training, internship programs, job readiness programs and community resources. Recently, the organization has incorporated entrepreneurship training, loans to nonprofits and housing counseling into its list of services. Now, due to an overwhelming need for affordable housing, Vennmedia will also specialize in nonprofit housing development, mainly focusing on the development of low income housing properties for low-income residents, special needs residents and homeless residents. Vennmedia will particularly serve under resourced communities.
After conducting numerous other studies in regards to affordable housing, Vennmedia was able to focus on another issue. Inner city neighborhoods that need affordable housing lack the social infrastructures, schools and programs for new developments. This is important in regards to residents being able to support the quality of life of the neighborhoods or communities in which they live and being able to integrate into other neighborhoods. Zo Slater, Executive Director of Vennmedia and a member of the Chicago Housing Authority HCV Advisory Board, says he plan on working with the housing agency to help coordinate resident programs, such as youth groups and job training seminars. He sees this as a possibility to build more community and/or job resource centers on the grounds of those developments at locations such as ABLA, Altgeld Murray Homes, Oakwood Shores and Pullman, in which they are implementing community and recreational facilities. "I believe such developments and programs should be expanded and would be instrumental in getting area residents off the streets and into mainstream society." says Slater. "In addition, this would enable residents to become more secure and stable in their environments. Residents and youth being enrolled in job training programs provides them an opportunity to focus." Slater continues, "Instead of reducing our nation’s investments in affordable housing, we need to make a commitment to ensure that everyone has a safe, accessible and affordable place to live. When we invest in affordable homes, we invest in our communities. From increased employment, to economic mobility to better education.

The Dynospectrum : 20 Year Anniversary Remaster
As Rhymesayers was transitioning from a local Twin Cities crew, who were known for explosive and engaging live shows at coffee shops, raves, and venues around town, into a full-fledged independent label, some of the most integral players in the crew decided to form a supergroup, and thus began the legend of The Dynospectrum. The group’s formula was largely centered on the four MCs, Slug of Atmosphere, I Self Devine of The Micranots, Beyond (better known as Musab), and Mr. Gene Poole of Phull Surkle. Each of them had already made a notable impression on the Twin Cities scene, so the idea of them coming together was easy to view as a force to be reckoned with. However, an essential element of The Dynospectrum was its production, as Ant (of Atmosphere) was digging deep into his explorations of painting sound with dark and moody strokes. Yet another signature aspect to this album was its iconic artwork, provided courtesy of the Headshots resident artist, Aaron “Abuse” Horkey, who has also provided some new work for this special vinyl edition. Horkey’s uniquely exquisite graffiti stylings give the album a comic book-like essence while maintaining an air of elegance and fine art.
Lastly, in order to take all this creative energy and shape it into something real, label CEO, Siddiq Sayers, acted as the sound engineer at the time for the newly formed Rhymesayers studios, and took the lead on distribution and management for the project. All of this resulted in The Dynospectrum being a landmark release in the Rhymesayers catalog, regarded to this day as a cult classic, which makes it long overdue that we finally get to see this full release available on vinyl for the very first time. This upcoming special vinyl edition, just like our recent Overcast! 20th Anniversary vinyl release, has been completely re-mixed from the original reel-to-reel tapes and remastered, complete with bonus unreleased material from those same recording sessions. All the original music and lyrics have been left completely intact, only enhancing the listening experience, so that this breakthrough album sounds better than ever!

Produced primarily by Erick “Arc” Elliott, with guest production by Kirk Knight, Hector Delgado, and Tyler Dopps, the 19-song album hears emcees Elliott, Meechy Darko and Zombie Juice reflecting on their mortality in a introspective light never before heard from Flatbush Zombies. On the new songs, they capture the otherworldly, out of control energy of their live shows. Vacation In Hell was recorded in New York City over the last year, in part at the group’s new studio in their native Brooklyn, NY. Starting in spring 2018 and in support of Vacation In Hell, Flatbush Zombies will embark on a 43 city headline U.S. tour and will perform at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

YFN LUCCI TO RELEASE HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED DEBUT ALBUM RAY RAY FROM SUMMER HILL
However, these two anthems offer just a glimpse of what to expect from his very first offering.
It’s time to meet Ray Ray From Summer Hill.
February has been a banner month for YFN Lucci. He celebrated his 27th birthday by throwing an
Instagram-worthy circus-themed “Trap Du Soleil” party, which TMZ called, “circus meets hood.” He
also dropped the new Freda’s Son EP fueled by the standout posse cut “Propane” [feat. YFN Trae
Pound & YFN Kay].
Celebrating the release of the album, YFN Lucci heads down to SXSW to perform at the Pandora
showcase on March 14. If you’re in Austin, don’t miss it.
Singing and rapping with the same fiery force, YFN Lucci represents the next evolution of the
Atlanta sound. Inking a deal with Think It’s A Game Records in 2014, he quietly developed into one
of his city’s most powerful voices. Following the success of Wish Me Well, he unleashed Wish Me
Well 2 in 2016. It yielded the platinum-certified smash “Key to the Streets” [feat. Migos & Trouble],
which amassed over 43.2 million Spotify streams, turned up a high-profile remix with Lil Wayne, 2
Chainz, and Quavo, and landed on XXL’s “50 Best Hip-Hop Songs of 2016” and Vibe’s “The 60 Best
songs of 2016” list. Forbes proclaimed YFN Lucci among “5 Breakout Hip-Hop Artists to Watch This
Summer” and Billboard dubbed him one of the “Top 10 Hip-Hop & R&B Artists to Watch in 2017”—
he’s lived up to those claims with his EP Long Live Nut, and now Ray Ray From Summer
Hill, (Think It’s A Game Records/Warner Bros. Records).

Prof - Pookie Baby
No artist has emerged from Minnesota this decade and walked his own private catwalk quite like Prof. After spending the early part of the 2010’s building a strong local following, his subsequent signing to Rhymesayers Entertainment and the release of his landmark 2015 debut, Liability, helped propel him to the next stage of his career. For example, his annual self-headlined Prof Outdoors festival has repeatedly sold out a 4,000+ capacity each year. While there’s been a perception that the eccentric Minneapolis MC is out-of-control, Prof's undeterred, unwavering commitment to his fans reveals the craftsmanship behind the perceived chaos. Today, as his latest album title states, the newly sophisticated Prof is more accurately referred to as Pookie Baby. While Prof may be best known for his show-stopping live performances, this album pulls back the curtain, inviting the listener to join him for the most private of moments, all with a sleek touch of sophistication.
As much of a showman as he is a shaman, Pookie Baby was poured out of the perspective of a man known for wild live shows, whose rigorous touring and performance schedule led to debilitating injuries. Grounded for months and undergoing multiple surgeries, Prof returned with a new perspective, teeming with unbridled sexuality and paired with a multitude of styles that run the gamut from triple-time Chicago drill to emotive, bluesy crooning, and this album showcases a spectrum of moods ranging from infectious absurdity to earnestly introspective. “Focus” highlights Prof’s well-buttoned dedication to perfectionism, while “No” aggressively gives self-preservation the anthem it’s always deserved. “Be Around” touches on the comforts of dependability in relationships, while “Send Nudes” finds reward in the vulnerable intimacy present in exposing oneself via text message (consensually, of course). The album culminates in the one-two punch of “Minneapolis” and “Eulogy,” with the former asserting Prof's love for his hometown, while the latter affirms his keen awareness of the ever-present fragility of life and the specter of mortality. Pookie Baby is just as much the crowd-pleasing party animal’s moment of prideful self-reflection as it is the blueprint for making the most out of life while navigating the hardships. Please remember to enjoy Pookie Baby responsibly.
Death Row Presents - Death Row Chronicles: Original Soundtrack

The Skull Eclipses - The Skull Eclipses
Known respectively for their independent work as Botany and Lushlife, Spencer Stephenson and Raj Haldar selected their collaborative mantle, The Skull Eclipses, when the album became more than just a one-plus-one combination of their individual sounds. Broadly, The Skull Eclipses is a post-hip hop album that harmonizes tropes of mid 90's electronic genres-- ambient, downtempo, jungle, & trip-hop-- under a hauntological umbrella. It is the first offering from a project that's as much indebted to Broadcast & The Focus Group as it is to Pete Rock & CL Smooth, but obligated to neither. Up close however, the album is a peer into the shadows by two figures uncontent with blending into the tapestry of modern music, wholly committed to creating experiences over mere content, which is pouring in from all corners of a frustrated and distracted world.
Ty Dolla $ign - Beach House 3 (2LP Vinyl w/Digital Download)
BEACH HOUSE 3 is the follow-up to the California bred superstar's critically acclaimed debut album FREE TC.
Born Tyrone Griffin Jr., Ty Dolla $ign has been an in-demand writer, producer, and featured artist since helming YG's 2010 smash, "Toot It and Boot It (feat. Ty Dolla $ign)." Since then, the GRAMMY® Award-nominated singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist, has fast become one of hip-hop's most highly demanded collaborators, contributing his acclaimed production and writing skills to Chris Brown's #1 hit, "Loyal," Kanye West's "Real Friends" and "Fade," Fifth Harmony's "Work From Home," Rihanna's "FourFiveSeconds (with Kanye West & Paul McCartney)" as well as work with Big Sean "Play No Games (feat. Chris Brown & Ty Dolla $ign)," Trey Songz ("Fumble"), B.o.B ("HeadBand (feat. 2 Chainz)"), and Wiz Khalifa & Snoop Dogg, whose "Young, Wild & Free (feat. Bruno Mars)" proved a GRAMMY® Award-nominated blockbuster. His "BEACH HOUSE" mixtape & EP series earned him further attention, leading Rolling Stone to call Ty one of the "10 New Artists You Need To Know in 2014."
IDK - No Wave (feat. Denzel Curry)
Like the most memorable collabs, “No Wave” is greater than the sum of its parts: It’s a riotous one-off single from the Maryland rapper IDK and the Florida rapper Denzel Curry, two artists with unusually complimentary styles. IDK has a rounded tone that sounds best over smoother beats, while Curry is a machine gun in human form, his half-shouted raps leaving your ears ringing.
Atlantic Records and All Money In Records have announced the long awaited studio debut album from rapper Nipsey Hussle.
Founded in 2010, Hussle's All Money In made an epochal debut with its very first release, "THE MARATHON," marking Hussle's fifth official mixtape and follow-up to his introductory "BULLETS AIN'T GOT NO NAME" trilogy. Named among XXL's "100 Best Mixtapes of 2010," the collection was quickly followed by 2011's "THE MARATHON CONTINUES" and then 2013's "CRENSHAW," the latter proving a media sensation when over one thousand first edition cassettes priced at $100 each were sold out in less than 24 hours at an All Money In pop-up shop in Fairfax, CA. 2014 saw Hussle embark on the nationwide "Crenshaw Tour" before unleashing his next mixtape, "MAILBOX MONEY," this time available in a 100-copy limited edition priced at $1000. Along with his work as a lead artist, Hussle has previously collaborated with a veritable who's-who of contemporary hip hop, including Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Rick Ross, YG, Ty Dolla Sign, Meek Mill, DJ Mustard, Young Thug and many more.
As if his musical career and role as label boss weren't enough, Hussle is also successful entrepreneur. This year saw the grand opening of his first Marathon Clothing smartstore, a brick-and-mortar retail establishment allowing customers to use smart technology to make purchases and preview exclusive content.
