Distrakt, one of my favorite underground emcees, is back with this new video. Track features Sadat X on the chorus.

Distrakt is one of my favorite underground emcees. Recently, he’s been doing a lot of work with Sedgwick and Cedar. This video walks you through his newest creation, a FREE downloadable interactive study of the history of hip-hop. Dope and educational.

Directed and animated by Distrakt.

This is a creative new video from my favorite Colorado-based emcee, Distrakt. Fire Escape is a track off Distrakt’s spectacular 2006 album “Distraktions,” which I still bump pretty regularly to this day. Hopefully, he’ll bless us with something new soon!

Distrakt solidfied his place in hip-hop last year with his critically acclaimed album “Distraktions,” which was voted among the top ten underground hip-hop albums of 2006. Shortly after the album’s release, Distrakt made an appearance at the annual Scribble Jam festival, which allowed him to greatly increase the size of his “Distraktoid Army.”

As a spokesman for Sedgwick & Cedar Clothing and devoted student of old-school hip-hop, Distrakt has raised many eyebrows in recently by creating and giving away free copies of “Hip-Hop Origins,” a CD containing classic hip-hop hits from old school masters such as Melle Mel, GrandMaster Caz, Busy Bee, Jazzy Jay and Afrika Bambaataa, among others. The CD challenges hip-hop lovers to “Study Your Lessons” and gives praise to the masters who created this culture. (more…)

Distrakt “Distraktions” Album Review

Like I ain’t got a job or something. (more…)
