Midnite Society - "Familiar Stranger"/"Midnite Crypto"

From crypt to crypto, Midnite Society have two new(ish) videos shot by the Diggers — "Familiar Stranger" featuring Dunny Cold Facts and Petey Max and "Midnite Crypto" on which those two are joined by Y2the3rd — both produced by the maestro Shozae.

Grandmilly - Cookies For Santa (Hosted by Shozae)

"This is more than music to me, this shit is everything / Sun, moon, and stars, the science of being / Chris Kringle, I'll call him Santa, that means Satan to me / When you black they be looking at you like you got a disease / So I keep a mask like it's Halloween for the quarantine." Grandmilly and Shozae are back with some seasonal presents of mind, produced by Zenan. This the same duo that brought us 2 Stoopid Dogs, Motel Six, Mausoleum, and Adventureland, so don't be surprised when the whole tape bangs. Great minds think alike. Touch the tracklist to download via Mediafire, or stream below sans outro due to Soundcloud being a tool of neo-capitalist oppression.

Adventureland Release Party & Pop-Up Shop

The Stones Throw debut from Grandmilly & Shozae is out August 24, but you can get it a day early  by heading into NYC for the 8/23 pop-up, or connect with the artists at their album release party in West Hempstead this Saturday. Also, don't miss their feature on Tiny Mix Tapes.

ShoZae - Coffy

Shozae and Grandmilly's long-anticipated Adventureland album drops later this summer on Stones Throw. Look for that, as well as an interview with the duo, coming soon. In the meantime, here's something in the way of a funky followup to Sho's Beneath the Mantle Volume 1.

Midnite Society - "MidniteIzm"

Dunny Cold Facts, Sho da Flo Man, and Petey Max warn, "Don't walk in the park after dark," from what appear to be a basement apartment and the World's Fair Playground in Flushing Meadows. You might remember an earlier, rougher mix of this track from LongIslandRap.Comp Volume 2. In today's edition: an emphasis on the Izm.

Y2The3rd - "Memory Graveyard"

Break Plissken - The World's A Graveyard and Every Day Is Halloween

Grandmilly & Shozae - "Powder Cocaine"

Grandmilly - "The World Is Yours" / "The Da Vinci Code"

Two new joints from Grandmilly and Shozae, neither of which appear on their forthcoming album, Adventureland, which is coming soon and possibly available on cassette if you make the effort.

Midnite Society - "ReddWithTheOx"

"ReddWithTheOx" is the tentative title of this second leak off Midnite Society's upcoming project, The Morning Can Wait  (following "Butterfly Dreams," which we posted last October), It's also the name of one of the three MCs on this track, the others being Petey Max and ShoDaFloMan (aka Shozae, who delivers the 1st verse; Redd's on the hook and P.E.T.E. has the 2nd verse). Can't wait for The Morning? Well, you're going to have to. Producer of this track, Shozae says, "We working on that album right now. We got some ill shit coming." So just sit tight.

Grandmilly & SHOZAE - Advertureland (Grand Opening)

Adventureland, the followup to Grandmilly and Shozae's 2 Stoopid Dogz EP, is slated to open February 10, one week from today. In anticipation of it, the team has dropped a video for the album's opening track, the aptly titled "Adventureland (Grand Opening)." In other news, Milly has been added to the bill for a March 5 show at Amityville Music Hall. Video, album cover, tracklist and show flyer are all below.

P.E.T.E. & Super Vic - "Butterfly Dreams"

New single off the upcoming Midnite Society project, The Morning Can Wait, produced by Shozae, recorded and mixed by he and QS. You might remember P.E.T.E. as Petey Max from "Midniteizm" off LongIslandRap.Comp V2. Don't sleep. You'll get killed.

Shozae & Grandmilly - 2 Stoopid Dogz

Rhymes by Grandmilly. Beats by Shozae. Mixed by Shozae & QS. Art by DavidFTC. Download below.

Sage Infinite & Grandmilly - "Hidden Language" Video

New video for "Hidden Language," off Black Market, the best album of 2015 that didn't make any other blogger's year end-list, because every other blogger is an asshole. Song produced by Shozae, video directed by Omar Jones, paper torn by Grandmilly, grand entrance by Sage Infinite, fez worn by QS.

Grandmilly, Sage Infinite, SHOZAE & QS - Black Market

Black Market opens for business via Mishka. Read their interview here, download below.

Grandmilly & Shozae - "Above Water"

"Above Water" first appeared on Shozae's Beneath The Mantle Vol. 1 mixtape. More recently it landed on our very own LongIslandRap.Comp V1. Tuesday night Sho and Milly dropped the official video. If some of this footage seems familiar, it might be because we posted the test footage back in April. Guess we've been unknowingly following this song's progress for a while now. Nice to see it back again.

Grandmilly with Shozae & Theravada in Our Nation's Capital

In other Hempstead-related news, Zeroklique OG Grandmilly just co-headlined a show down in D.C. with Awful Records founder Father. Not listed on the bill but clearly in attendance as well were Theravada and Midnite Society's Shozae.

Below you can see some footage from their trip shot by Omar Jones with a Zeiss 50mm camera. The song playing throughout is "The Lords" off Grandmilly's Miseducation EP.

It's just test footage, so don't expect any video to come back in after the screen goes black.

Sage Infinite - "It's Like Butta" (Prod. by SHOZAE)

SHOZAE just broke us off his latest production credit, another joint with frequent collaborator Sage Infinite. If you haven't already downloaded the two albums they've done together, do yourself a favor and get Dark Minded and Dark Minded 2, ideally before today's sunrise.
