[Antisteez Interview]: Monie Love & LIFTED! Tuesdays @ Blackbird Ordinary

I fell in love with hip hop when I was just a shorty, but it wasn’t until I heard Queen Latifah‘s Ladies First that I became obsessed with female emcees. That was also the first time I heard Monie Love and after about three listens, I realized she was British. That made her even more exotic and incredible to my young ears. Because there weren’t that many female emcees at the time, women like Monie Love became my icons. Not only did she pioneer the women in rap movement, what she... Read More →

[Antisteez Desktop Calendar 2012]: Candace Meyer | FEBRUARY

Born in Manhattan, raised everywhere, Candace Meyer prides herself in the uniqueness of her entity. Raised by Broadway star Wanda Richert, coupled with her father’s influence in videography and production, she really didn’t know any life other than that of an artist’s. At age 14, she dove into hip hop and started writing rhymes paired with soulful melodies. By the time that 2006 Ultra Music Festival rolled around, she realized that there was more to her music than heavy, dark booms... Read More →

[Podcast]: Jose Mertz presents CRAK

From time to time, our fam around the 305 jump in on some of our podcast because like you, they know that music connects all of us. One of those peeps happens to be Jose Mertz, the Creative Native himself. I am going to go ahead and describe Mertz as one of the most-talented men I know. A brilliant artist, his work is what art should be; thought-provoking, provocative and visually stunning. This son of the 305 is also a rhyme-slayer. His freestyle prowess is sick. He produces music and I have been... Read More →

[Antisteez Desktop Calendar 2012]: Meet Mr. & Ms. January

If you are reading this, congratulations! It appears that you survived New Years! Oh, and if you are reading this, good luck. 2012 is here and it is rumored that no one is surviving this year. Just sayin’. But in case the aliens/zombies/wrath of God/natural disaster apocalypses do not take place, we thought that you might want to have a very cool desktop calendar for every month this year. (Don’t get excited. This is not a Mayan calendar. We don’t know when the actual end of days... Read More →

[Antisteez Top 5]: The Best UNSEEN Moments- #1 Sexy Sax Man vs Biscayne Blvd.

And so it is here, Antisteez’s top unseen moment of all time. I have to take a moment and say that this is less of a blog post and more of a love story. That’s right…it’s about to get saxy as fuck up in here. But let’s start at the beginning… Once upon a time, a friend asked me a question that would ultimately change my life and that question was: “Have you seen the video of Sexy Sax Man yet?” No, I had not. But I did immediately after and it was glorious... Read More →

[Antisteez Top 5]: The Best UNSEEN Moments- #3 Win A Date With Goobs & Lou

Once upon a time, in February of 2011, right around Valentine’s day, our fearless leader Lou got an epic idea. (One of many, I assure you.) He thought that it would be an AMAZING idea if for Valentine’s day, he and I offered ourselves up to the masses for some hot and delicious dinner and a movie. And maybe some awkward moments, because Lou and I are  KNOWN for our inside jokes and relentless, maniacal laughter that no one understands but us. Yes, Lou decided that we would put out our... Read More →
