    [Video] Tullis - Heartbroke

    [Video] Tullis - Heartbroke

    Shot in Italy and Washington D.C., the visuals for Heartbroke are a beautiful backdrop for a song about beautiful things. Tullis kicks some cool guy looking for love rhymes wanting not to grow old before finding someone. It's a sweet and genuine song. The video was shot by Everett Ganir. Check out how beautiful the shots are framed especially when Tullis is sitting on a ledge overlooking a picturesque Italian city. Check it out:
    [Podcast] The FloTape - Tucson Hip Hop Fest Hangover

    [Podcast] The FloTape - Tucson Hip Hop Fest Hangover

    We went down to Tucson Arizona on Saturday, February 25 for the Tucson Hip Hop Festival and it was a super dope festival. The artists all brought their A game and put on one hell of a show. We discuss our favorite parts of the festival and what we thought was so genius about it. In the end, P_dot_D goes on a little rant. Featuring tracks: Lando Chill - Unenamored Cash Lansky - You Know It Marley B ft Jaca Zulu - For the Likes Black One ft Blaine Coffee - Back to Earth Tom

    Promoter Q&A - MattX

    Throwing shows is a lot of work. A lot of time, money, and effort goes into it. We here at Flotivity were curious about and want to help our readers understand the job promoters do. See shows don't just come together like magic. People put those shows together and spend a lot of their time, money, and energy on giving artists an opportunity to present their music to an audience. We've emailed and will email promoters in the AZ hip hop scene to ask them the same questions and

    Can't Wait to Hear These Tracks at the Tucson Hip Hop Festival (Part 1)

    The Tucson Hip Hop Festival is two days away. I love festivals and can't wait. Festivals are like adult playgrounds - so many options available. Wandering from one stage to another is a blast. Before the actual show though, festival lineups offer the opportunity to explore a list of artists. I have as much fun going through the lineup as I do being at the actual show. It helps diversify and expand my musical knowledge and most importantly, I come across songs I'm legitimately

    [Video] Bag of Tricks Cat ft. Bouji - Pray You're Under

    A few years back I met Charles Barkley on a plane. He was very candid and said one of the problems with having a lot of money is people feel you owe it to them to support them. Bouji and Bag of Tricks Cat may relate to Charles. In his guest verse, Bouji spits, "I look like a walking lick, all they see is dollar signs/What because I'm up, now your problems mine." Bag of Tricks Cat lets people know he's not feeling anyone who's dapping him up then talking bad behind his back.

    [Video] BLK LLAMA - hotdotnuss

    Guild has grown exponentially since I first learned about them at the BeatLab show we covered here on Flotivity. Each month, they're doing shows somewhere whether at Valley Bar, Crescent, a house party, or with Las Vegas compatriots, Rabbit Hole. Other than work with Valley Sons, this is one of the only rappers I've seen them mess with. This video, from BLK LLAMA, is off his EP titled 101. The track and video showcase BLK LLAMA's "cooler than a polar bears toenail" style as h

    [Podcast] FloCast Ep. 28 w/ Eddie Wellz

    Fresh off the release of his dope Nature video, Eddie Wellz kicked it with us on the FloCast to discuss his musical career, how he doesn't believe in soul mates, and life energy. Furthermore, we break down his Nature video. In the end, Wellz kicks a dope freestyle over the Group Home Living Proof and the Wu Tang Method Man beat. It's another dope convo with an incredibly smart and thoughtful emcee out of Phoenix, AZ. Featuring tracks: Nature, Skarz and Strikez, and Ascension

    [Video] SonnyFromMars - The Return of Jafar

    Shortly after releasing the album, Earthbound, SonnyFromMars took a break from his musical endeavors. Other than a feature on the MastodonRare track All For You, AZ heard nothing new from Sonny. Well though this is not new, this is the Return of Jafar. The video from the aforementioned album and directed by CameraLord showcases a turnt up Sonny and homies. The track was produced by Ash¥. Usually humble Sonny is on a braggadocious tip here talking about pulling anime chicks an

    [Video] J.Rob the Chief - Stream

    After a 2016 that saw J.Rob release the album High & Low, The Chief returns with the single Stream. Shot in black and white, the video is a simple but solid effort from the rapper and director Travis Colbert. It showcases J.Rob being a smooth playa for real (ask Puff Daddy). The ladies probably gonna love this one. This track, released on Valentines Day, was produced by RJBeatz. Check it below and on most streaming platforms. J.Rob the Chief - Stream

    [Podcast] The FloTape Ep. 27 w/ 31 Masses

    Slator Blacc and Lord Ra, from the group 31 Masses and the collective, Live Great, Die Awesome, sat down with us on the FloCast. We left very impressed by two young rappers out of Phoenix, Arizona. First of all, Slator told us he was inspired to rap by A Tribe Called Quest. Second Ra and Slator discussed being fans of classic jazz like Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Thelonious Monk. Then they discussed their very popular "tour" where they performed out the back of a Uhaul around
