![[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...

Let us begin by stating this is the new Wu-Tang album, but it is not the new Wu-Tang Clan album. Six original members (No Gza or Masta Killa…ouch) are here to bring you Shaolin’s finest, with the music provided by Brooklyn soul band The Revelations. The rest of the lyrics are supplied by artists that have been ripping mics for years such as Sean Price, AZ, Cappadonna and M.O.P. This album is essentially a follow-up to 2009′s Wu-Tang Chamber Music, which followed the same format... Read More →
![[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 →
![[Album Review] Korpus Kounty’s ‘In’: Downtempo Music In A Post Apocalyptic World](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/02-IN-COVER-190x190.jpg)
Korpus Kounty is a musical experiment created by producer Sin. The first album Stuck crossed all the lines between Trip Hop, Alternative, Gothic, and even Horrorcore. Korpus Kounty’s debut was released in 2008 by Labeless Records. If Portishead and The Gorillaz had a demon baby, that demon baby would be Korpus Kounty. The line-up on this album features Serial Deamer (Sin), Candace Meyer, and Level of Alukard. The project has everything you want in trip-hop music and more, heavy-low-end beats,... Read More →

*album art by CHOCOLATE MILK AlukarD is a rock band from Miami, FL who has coined the name “305 Rock” as their brand of music. 305 is the area code for Miami so 305 Rock is Alternative Rock influenced by South Florida culture.

It’s a huge melting pot of ideals, roots and history. AlukarD embodies the Miami culture in their music and... Read More →

When I first heard someone mention Thrash or Die about a year ago, I honestly thought they were talking about a joke band. Looking at their ÜBER metal logo just conjured up days of ripped jeans, hi-top reeboks and black band t-shirts with amazingly detailed images of demons and things with bat wings. For some reason, shit just looked cooler back then if it had bat wings or dragon wings attached to it, and I fucking loved every minute of it. The year was 1987 and thrash metal ruled….and...
