![[Coming Soon] Dubporn’s Finest](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Dubporn-190x190.jpg)
Dubporn Records is where bass and soul peacefully coexist. Mellow harmonies accompanied by steady pounding beats that pulsate and sway by mixing funk, dubstep, future bass, garage and downtempo. An eclectic and cool label with its finger on the pulse of the dubstep nation in the 305 - but don’t take our word for it: They were voted as one of the top five Best Electronic Music Labels by none other than the Miami New Times. This week we bring you the lowdown what they’ve got in store for... Read More →
![[Album Review] Jedi Mind Tricks: “Violence Begets Violence”](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/jedi_mind_tricks-violence_begets_violence-190x190.jpg)
Jedi Mind Tricks are underground mainstays in the Hip-Hop world. The core of the group has always been rapper Vinnie Paz and producer Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind. Blood drinker Jus Allah, the third member, realigned with the group in 2007 after a six-year solo hiatus. This is the third J.M.T. album to have Vinnie and Jus trading verses, but now Stoupe’s amazing and intricate production has been replaced. For the hardcore/horror-core group’s seventh overall album Violence Begets Violence,... Read More →
Chances are that if you’ve been to any national punk shows in the South Florida area, you’ve seen Riot Agents. The list of bands that they’ve shared a stage with reads like a Punk Rock hall of fame inductee list. Agent Orange? Check. The Queers? Check. The Vibrators? Check. Battalion of Saints? Check. The Murder Junkies? Check. Shit, they even opened for HR (the certified batshit-crazy frontman of the legendary Bad Brains) when he made his notorious appearance at Churchill’s... Read More →
![[Album Review] Median – “The Sender”.](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/the_sender-190x190.jpg)
Median was raised in Wilmington, NC. Born in Queens NYC the same year as the birth of hip-hop (1979), the music, culture, and overall atmosphere has always had presence and influence in his life. In high school, among other things, Median was known for his witty freestyles and beat-boxing. After entering North Carolina State University in 1997, Median met with like-minded emcees and producers. They formed the crew The Justus League in 1999. They gained a local following as well as national... Read More →
From the start of Kevin Smith‘s career, he’s shown an endless amount of talent and ambition. Even his big studio pictures carry an endearing respect to the art of independent cinema. He is constantly challenging himself by creating characters, stories, settings and themes that most young adults can seemingly relate to. With Clerks, his knack for creating crafty dialogue about relationships, hockey and even Star Wars, turned heads every which way. Being confined to a convenient... Read More →
![[Album Review]: “The Day of the Storm” by K-Rino](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/K-Rino-The-Day-Of-The-Storm-2011-190x190.jpg)
To you K-Rino fans out there, I’ll admit it; I’m one of the people that first heard him on his three standout verses from the new Canibus album Lyrical Law. After more research, I found out dude has released 28 albums and has been rocking for over 20 years. The love this man gets on forums and online message boards is unparalleled, with throngs of people proclaiming him the best rapper in the world. K-Rino releases all of his music independently through Southparkcoalition and refuses... Read More →
![[Mixtape Review] : SMMB & Shag – “High Skool Daze”.](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/hsdcover-190x190.jpg)
Self Made Mutual Bond. The term, & now company name MutualBond came from a song created by Bishop on one of his previous efforts Black Rose. The concept & aura of the material made perfect sense & inspired the epiphany of our brotherhood. Selfmade was & is a motto that Antoine (Skeme) strongly believes in & eventually rubbed off on everyone else. So now we have #SMMB, which serves as the home for the music & the livelihood. High Skool Daze is a SMMB compilation that... Read More →
![[WINNER] “The Rise” – Flash McClane (prod. Shawn Wayne)](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/shawnwayne-190x190.jpg)
Congratulations to Flash McClane from Seattle, WA for winning the Shawn Wayne beat contest, courtesy of FW4S and yours truly. TONS of submissions and hours of listening to every emailed song we would receive. Here I leave you with a quick UN-MIXED version of the winning song called “The Rise”. Great flow, great voice, super catchy hook and off the wall beat, but we knew that already. ;) Catch Flash McClane over at Reverb Nation for some more heat, and make sure to catch his solo project,...

![[Movie Review] The Tree of Life is philosophy personified through the medium of film.](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/The-Tree-of-Life-2011-190x190.jpg)
Terrence Malick is considered to be more of an entity in the world of filmmaking. It’s hard to believe that with just five films in a career spanning four decades, there isn’t one person in the film business that doesn’t look at Malick as an important figure in filmmaking. The Tree of Life is a sincere display of ambition from a director that aims to blur the lines of a film’s impact and ultimately bring his audiences to be more involved. He is a filmmaker with an...

![[Album Review] MindYou’s “The Rise”](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Artwork-190x190.jpg)
The thing with punk rock is, you gotta feel it, maaaaan. Like most musical genres, there are many sub-genres and classifications, many different flavors and many different interpretations; it’s a beautiful thing. But the thing is, if you’re a band playing punk rock and you don’t feel the music…you’re fucked. It stands out in your songs and your performances like a flaming bag of shit hung around your neck. To some people who don’t really care for the genre, punk... Read More →
![[Album Review]: Random Axe, “Random Axe”](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Random-Axe-190x190.png)
“Random Axe is the supergroup comprised of Sean Price, Black Milk & Guilty Simpson. The self-titled album is entirely produced by Black Milk. Fans can expect hard-hitting production, witty word play & pure RANDOMNESS.” *Taken from bio section at Duck Down Records* This is all that Duck Down Records felt they should inform us with; and I totally agree. If you call yourself a hip-hop head, then you’ve been waiting for this. You know what’s coming; pure, raw,... Read More →
![[Album Review]: Bonus “Reflectology” EP](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/244379_166240383437282_149674798427174_393237_1264311_o-190x190.jpg)
It can be said that most musicians look the part they play and to be quite honest, Bonus doesn’t look like he can rap. At all. You could say that’s his charm. He has been a part of the South Florida Hip Hop scene for years, but it is only now he is making his presence felt. Equipped with a sharp tongue and a great ear for sounds, he is taking the Hip Hop world by storm with his new Reflectology EP that dropped on May 7, 2011. He also has a mixtape called Here Goes Nothin’ mixed by DJ... Read More →
