Hard at Work

I graduated from Northeastern a little over a month ago, and moved down to Brooklyn the day after to begin the full time plunge into making music. And what better project to start on than our own (Black Hoodie Rap’s, that is).

Why buy the picture when you get the one that says PROOF [...]

Machine Head (VIDEO)

Black Hoodie Rap- Machine Head from Black Hoodie Rap on Vimeo.

It’s only the beginning for this video, but we’d like to thank everyone involved thus far. You all know who you are. We have really high hopes for this, and we don’t even want to pretend to hide that. We’ve sat around this past [...]

Machine Head: Eddie's Stoop-August Vincent Interview Part 2

This is the 2nd part of The Eddie’s Stoop interview. August Vincent comments on the rumors that Lo-Fi, aka Machine Head, is writing for him. Eddie Pages is hilarious in this one. He really channeled his inner MTV VJ, as he sounds exactly like Sway when he drops the “Some of the controversy line.” [...]

Machine Head: Eddie's Stoop- August Vincent Interview

More cleaning house before Machine Head drops.

Back story: August Vincent is the antagonist to Lo-Fi in the Machine Head video. (August Vincent is fictional if you couldn’t tell). He’s a satire.

In this video, August appears on some nobody blogger’s show called Eddie’s Stoop. We created the show Eddie’s Stoop to comment on bloggers [...]

Machine Head: Lo-Fi At The Diner

So, last night was the Machine Head premier and it was amazing! Thank you to everyone who came to check out, the culmination of over a month of hard work. Needless to say Machine Head is a video that we are extremely proud of and can’t wait to release. We will be releasing it on [...]

MachineHead Rough Cut Stills

So, everyone we are down to the final revision stage for Machine Head, the second music video off of For Rent. It’s looking good the story for the video is dope. I wish I could have you guys in the room for a sneak preview but alas. We will have to settle with stills from [...]

Machine Head Shooting: Day 2 (kinda)

So Day 2 of shooting for Machine Head: Mark and I shot some footage like 2 weeks ago or something and I’m figuring out exactly what look to go for. I think you will see this footage of us during the chorus. It’s supposed to have a crap tv type feel, so it will look [...]

Physio-Ball Producing, aka Healthy MPC Operation (Black Hoodie Rap TV)

As I was working on some beats before, I figured it would be good to check in with you guys on video, because it has been a little while. I also wanted to share with you something we found fun: making beats while sitting on a physio-ball. I mean, people sit around their offices on [...]

People Showing Us Love on Twitter Is Awesome

I know people tell you to act like you’ve been here before, but we ain’t too cool to show how excited we are when people say they like us. It’s been happening more lately (particularly on Twitter), in no small part because of the Take Witness article, among other things.

So all I wanted to say [...]

VIDEO: How Black Hoodie Rap Came to Be

We’ve got a lot of short videos in the pipeline. Some are like the make-shift acapella group harmonizing we did last week, others are new songs of ours, while some are shorts of us doing something … “artsy.” Before we get in too deep, we wanted to make sure you’re getting enough of an [...]
