Following up his highly acclaimed, marijuana-inspired Legrowlize It! instrumental album released in 2011, A-Plus (Hieroglyphics / Souls of Mischief / C7) is back with Legrowlize It! Vol. II, premiered by URB Magazine. With more audio Kush for your mind, body and soul presented by Arnette Eyewear, the album is another set of never before heard classic instrumentals from A-Plus’ personal vaults, made on an ASX-Pro in the late ’90’s and early ’00’s. Produced under the influence and inspired by marijuana and its culture, this is the perfect project to crank up and zone out to.
Beat Tape: A-Plus – Think Tank
A founding member of Souls of Mischief and The Hieroglyphics, rapper and producer A-Plus is ready to unleash the first of a series of free instrumental projects. Think Tank highlights A-Plus’s sample-chopping and beat-blending skills – from the triumphant horns and vocal coos on “Always Be the Same,” to multi-layered guitar picks on “Nothing At All,” to the lonely, crying strings on “Hear Me Out.” As A-Plus says, “One reason I chose the name Think Tank was because I like my tracks to emote and to make people feel as they listen.” Enjoy the project below!
New Video: A-Plus – “Can’t Stop” (Red Hot Chili Peppers Cover)
It’s been two months since the Hieroglyphics crewmember A-Plus released his Pepper Spray EP, a project that remixes Red Hot Chili Peppers classics and serves as one-fourth of his ongoing Tribute Series, and he has no plans of stopping soon. After releasing music videos for the songs “Give It Away” and “Road Trippin,” the Souls Of Mischief member is excited to return with trippy visuals for his latest single “Can’t Stop.”
“The main inspiration for the video was the fact that I had absolutely no budget or way of getting it done when I started the process,” says A-Plus who tapped his good friend and producer of the group Chosen Few, Unjust, to direct. “Truly, if it weren’t for him, it would have not gotten done.” Also noting the efforts of Jordan Fierro, one of the cameramen on set, A-Plus and crew were able to come together and deliver a video that pairs a mix of special effects with creative performance shots from A-Plus and AAGEE, not to mention a few special cameos from the Hieroglyphics crew.
