Brooklyn-based indie-hop innovator Domer is back with a brand new kind of musical project – one that has never been attempted before in hip-hop. Domer’s My Favorite EP is an interactive album that allows producers and fans to create their own versions of his music.
Domer has recorded vocals for five songs with no beat underneath, just lyrics rapped to a metronome and posted online for producers all over the world to run with. Now he is inviting music producers to create the backdrops for these lyrics. (more…)
Propaganda Anonymous “Todo Corazon” Album Review
Propaganda Anonymous’ “Todo Corazon” is a textbook example of what an EP is supposed to be. It’s seven tracks and just less than twenty-five minutes long. It introduces something new and innovative, both in terms of emceeing and production. And it demonstrates Prop Anon’s verbal skills by showcasing a versatile ability to impose his lyrical will on seven distinctly unique beats. (more…)
Brooklyn MC Domer has once again pushed his unique blend of hip-hop and punk rock to the screen with last night’s premiere of “You’re On To Me” at Asterisk in Bushwick. The party included impressive performances by the Metermaids, Domer and brokeMC, among others.
The video is from Domer’s upcoming album, due out Fall ’07, and is directed by Austin Lynn (Kovarova.com). It features the entire MINDSpray family, a collection of dope NYC emcees. Peep the video below:
C.O.N.C.E.P.T. “In The Moment” Album Review
Well, it’s official. The Mindspray Crew is officially my favorite local New York City conglomeration of dope emcees. Every emcee coming out of Mindspray is unique and groundbreaking, as Domer’s “Work With Me” and brokeMC’s “Make It Better” have already earned feature spots on our website this year. And now C.O.N.C.E.P.T. has solidified their position with what is turning out to be one of my favorite indie hip-hop releases of the year thus far, “In The Moment.” (more…)
brokeMC “Make It Better” Album Review I saw brokeMC rock a show a week or so ago. The crowd was into it, the ladies were dancing, and all the heads were nodding. I could tell that it definitely made an impression on people, and I remember looking over at the merch table to see it crowded with visitors. “Those cats are gonna be selling some albums tonight,” I thought.

NYC underground MC Domer has released a video for “Eden Goes Dark,” the first release off of his recently-released album “Work With Me.” Created by Emma McNamara of Skipping Beats Records, the video is completely animated and revolves around the song’s concept of how human beings engage in smoking and other self-destructive behaviors that are leading to our own deaths. Check the video out below:
New York, NY, April 30, 2007 - Underground hip hop invades Club Midway on Saturday, May 12th. The show marks the triumphant homecoming of Metermaids, Broke, and Domer after a twenty city guerilla onslaught of America aptly named the “Unnatural Disasters Tour.”
After successful shows at SXSW in Austin, TX and the Viper Room in Los Angeles these emcees are back and set to rock the crowd in their homebase of NYC. (more…)
Domer “Work With Me” Album Review
I recently read an interview in which the homie Domer claimed that his music is not hip-hop [1]. Initially, this confused me. I mean, his production, though unique and generally universal, is overwhelmingly hip-hop in rhythm and beat. And although he occasionally sings on his tracks, his lyrics are most often presented in rap form. To me, rapping over beats equals hip-hop … no matter what the direction or style. (more…)
brokeNdomer “Do You Copy?” Album Review
I’m paranoid as a motherfucker, man. I started bumping an underground release from a group called brokeNdomer this week, entitled “Do You Copy?” As soon as I got into it, for some crazy reason all I could think about was the last Terminator movie. Not one, or two quite as much, but definitely three. I peeped it one night, followed of course by the first Matrix, and started thinking about the possibilities of computers and machines taking over.
