W_Music Series Vol. 3 : Notorious MSG


W_Music Series is back! After the Reggae Ambassador, Ras Muhammad and Fantastic husband-wife duo, Endah & Rhesa, now on the volume 3, The Guys at Whiteboard Journal brings us the baddest rap group from New York City’s Chinatown restaurant circuit : The Notorious MSG. This is exciting : They are about to release a new album "Heavy Ghetto" on this May!

"Notorious MSG: The year 2002 marked the birth of the biggest and baddest rap group to come out of New York City’s Chinatown restaurant circuit: The Notorious MSG! Founded by ringleader, Hong Kong Fever, the “Yellow Gigolo”, Down-Lo Mein, and latest third member, Hunan Bomb, the monosodium glutamate-named group has now been schooling planet earth and beyond with their Asian American gangster-ness for 9 years. With their latest offering, Heavy Ghetto, soon hitting a store near you (May 24th), the group shared some insights into their Notoriously MSG lives including their how they became so brollic, their crazy day to day activities, and the mysterious Angus Wong. This third installment of W_Music Series is produced personally by the group and their friends, so sit back as they (as their myspace bio says) “rip your asses in half with their high-sodium beats."

Alexander Ebert - A Million Years

After the song has been featured on the season 4's 21st episode of "Chuck", I think Alexander Ebert's track, "A Million Years" is worth watching. Listen to his music below, comes in a surreal music video which directed by Benjamin Kutsko and produced by Jack Richardson.



And you should check his other song, "Glimpses" too. This is hauntingly good. This dude reminds me of Justin Vernon, the frontman of Bon Iver. They are both brilliant singer songwriter.
