Qwel of Typical Cats & DJ Abilities of Rhymesayers co-headlining event in Los Angeles, September 26th at the Catch One.
Qwel will be celebrating the 20 Year Anniversary of his debut solo album with a live band, “If it Ain’t Been in a Pawn Shop, Then it Cant Play the Blues”.
Presented by UndergroundHipHopBlog.com & Fear The Reaper, in collaboration with the Catch One. Tickets are exclusively available on Dice.fm below!
Check out this new music video, premiering on UGHHBLOG, by true underground Hip Hop heavyweights Qwazaar & Batsauce titled “Still Here” featuring Typical Cats members Qwel, Denizen Kane & Willie Evans Jr. The visuals were animated by Batsauce himself. The muted colors and educational video-esque graphics in the video bear a striking resemblance to Electric Company’s trippy animated shorts from the ’70s.
Many know Qwazaar from his work with his crew Typical Cats. This five-man collective were highly regarded in the underground when they came on the scene in the early ’00s. However, this Chicago emcee has been just as prolific when partnered with the world-travelling beatsmith known as Batsauce. The two met in Berlin in 2008 when Bat was living there and Qwa was on tour. Since then the duo have released three projects, and for the last year or two, they’ve been working on a fourth titled “Stoned Giant.”
Today marks the release of not only the “Stoned Giant” LP but also the video for the album’s second single “Still Here”! The song is a reunion of sorts, as Qwel and Denizen Kane of Typical Cats both join Qwa on the track. Further, Willie Evans Jr. (formerly of Asamov) also throws down a guest verse to make it a proper posse cut.
