Open Rehearsals

Wow, our first installment of Open Rehearsals at the Kinky Notti Juke Joint turned out to be such betterwith! So good, that now we're making it a bi-monthly event. We thought "what better way for our fans & homies to get an inside look at our performances + see the evolution of our next music-project than to witness it all live at our rehearsals?"... Plus we love receiving any kind of instant feedback from people, so it's a win, win situation.

Last time at our Open Rehearsal we banged out a live photo shoot with our guy Ten Photos + performed... so now we have new photos for the upcoming Kinky Notti promotion (that we plan to unleash later on this week). Also Tshurhad Chivas got to play around with some of his new song-ideas for Havanah Maxie's fresh beat-collection. It was a super-tight sneak preview for all the newbies who came thru!

Dopest of all, is that there's recently been a string of nice show-offers collecting for Kinky Notti, such as our upcoming show at HOB Chicago. We're opening up for The Lyfe Jennings "I Still Believe Tour" Monday Sept. 27th... anyway, we can honestly say that so far, Open Rehearsals seems to be the perfect outlet for us to connect to for expressing that magical creative-connection shared between us with others... it's a beautiful thing!

Chicago--> check out our Facebook Fan Page or our Twitter Page for updates on the next Kinky Notti installment of Open Rehearsal at the Juke Joint... but for now, here's some behind-the-scene pics & vid-footagery.

Slang You Can Bang #6

BETTERWITH = it's official-liveness, really. It's what's in your heart-of-hearts & in your gut, even tho you try to deny the facts.

DENY THE FACTS = just being on front street with yourself, really.




Betterwith should roll off the tongue kinda like Butterworth, but it's betterwith... the same way Mrs. Butterworth's is betterwith when it comes to syrup, aka surp... but you still go & buy that other malarky anyway.

PS who the hell is that bainch on the bottle ?

BAINCH = either that bitch Lisa, Tisha, or Keisha from around the way

En Weezin It - Vol.1 + RESPIRATOR THUMP

Don't quote us, but it is quite possible that NYC naturally breathes & pulsates at the frequency of planet Mars. Kinky Notti's insanely-dope journey to NY led us to rockin out at Southpaw (Brooklyn's finest) with The Beatards last month ((catch Kinky Notti at Southpaw here)). Afterward, our girl Semaj swooped us over to Pyramid to do an encore performance at End of the Weak's Open Mic Set ((peace to the homie Vinyl Richie, the master of ceremony/dj of the evening... dude spotted us in the crowd & went nutz. He literally stopped the show & blessed us with a hot introduction onto the stage))... shit was amazing!

So here we are now... back home with a buncha random footage from our trip. We decided that we couldn't waste such classic material (can u say viral video?) So here's our home-video-style footage, accompanied by the song 'Respirator Thump' from our new album 'Succumb' ((listen to 'Succumb' here)) Check it out...



About the video:

We landed in Newark & took a ride on the monorail (we were sofa-king wo' out!)... we were headed to our lil come-up-room located right in the heart of Manhattan. At check-in the front desk told us, "the price you were quoted is for rooms on the 13th floor... the one that's under construction for the duration of your stay... but don't worry! All hotel rooms on that floor are completely renovated & we'll even throw in a free-breakfast voucher for each morning of your stay"... we were like wtf?? Then she dangled a warm, freshly-baked, chocolate-chip-walnut cookie in front of our faces. Pbbbbbbb...Done deal!


At first, HavMax was pretty salty about it, but actually once inside, the rooms weren't bad at all. It even became amusing finding the new developments each day walking back to our room -> NITE ONE= no carpet & no wallpaper. NITE TWO= carpet! NITE THREE= new wallpaper up... and so on. It's amazing how something as simple as carpet can make a huge difference when it comes to sound-absorbancy ;D


Anywho, the rally-scene was randomly captured as we rolled up on it & decided to jump in. We could hear a dope public-enemy-sounding emcee in the distance but couldn't see the stage from where we were standing, so we made our way through the crowd toward the stage for a better look. There we spotted the homies Bling Crosby & the Rebel Diaz crew, so immediately we fell right into the mix while muffoccurs went hard for the rally. They even took it to the streets & marched all the way through Chinatown. Shit was crazy, but peaceful... everybody was soaring with love-energy, even the babies.


The final scene was shot on a quiet Brooklyn street where we rolled up on a dude selling old albums & CDs for $2 apiece. He was pretty bored because nobody really buys CDs & albums anymore, so we stopped to chat with dude for a sec. He told us about how each weekend you can find him posted up, selling music in front of his momma's house. He even asked us to hold down the fort a sec while he ran inside. We were like "wow, OK... that's random as hell" lol, but dude's vibe was positive, so we didn't mind. The hilarity was watching Tshurhad Chivas interact with all the foot-traffic, calling out dude's sales pitches like "CD'S, RECORDS, 3 FOR $5 OR ONLY $2 EACH"... only in New York, lol


About the song:

Respirator Thump is track 5 on Kinky Notti's new album 'Succumb' which is now available on online music stores! Check it out on iTunes, bandcamp or Amazon


RANDOM PICS
That First Saturday at The Brooklyn Museum = salsa salsa salsa

We named him Captain Skerry Azhun Morgan

We party hard & remember to do the knowledge

Guess some rocked big-up-to-Africa-medallions
while others rocked big-up-to-the-sun's-atomic-makeup medallions

Chillin & waiting to politic with our guy Vince in Williamsburg

No not him.
We told this guy that they were shooting Res' 'Golden Boys' video thataway

We know enough Spanish to make out
what this protest is about: the need for some kinda job program
in other words: it's time to get some employment juming off, muffoccurs
