Def Sound -Spaz! (Produced By RC) VIDEO!

Def Sound - Spaz (Produced By RC) from Def Sound on Vimeo.




The first fan made visual journey into the mind of Def Sound masterpieced together by the sounds of RC... called "Spaz" (aka Sophisticated Ignorance) featuring guest vocals by Novena Caramel from the "Something." project you have no choice but 2 love this fun experiment on your ears! This is my first vid 2 drop... The live action Lite joint E.T.L. will be out soon enough.. But I just wanted 2 say a few words about Spaz and "Something" as a whole.. It is one of the most fun songs i ever created and I am just thankful 2 have visuals that look like what I saw in my head while writing it.. I feel the genre I want 2 try and usher in is what I call Pretty Waters music like up beat thought provoking party music with a feeling and is for beautiful people of all races, sexes, and financial status with depth and enjoy hearing new ideas and dont mind thinking and are down 2 listen 2 something that doesn't insult their intelligence...Feel free 2 share this video with any and everyone. I am just making music 2 share, touch, and inspire others @ this point nothing more nothing less support it if its dope is all I ask.

Notes About "Something" Entry #3: S.A.G.




S.A.G. was a song pitched 2 me by Chuck aka Three-1-Zero
I was in the middle of filming the making of the "Something."album
(called the DEFcumentary)
about maybe 5 songs deep
So Sterling came through with the camera to Chucks crib in Northridge
and Chuck spelled it all out 4 me.
This song was gonna be like a lyrical exercise
or dress rehearsal
he said S.A.G. stands for Screen Actors Guild
so what he wanted was to take one sample (Harvey's Tune)
flip it 3 different ways on one track.
Make it just more than a song more of a production
where he would play the director I would play the actor
on the set of a song.
He said he wanted me 2 rap 3 different yet unexpectedly cliche styles
like the first verse should be street and violent
over very gritty drums
The 2nd verse should be "jiggy" and very club friendly bars
over 808's and slappy southern drums almost Three 6 Mafia steeze
Then the final verse we debated a bit about on camera
We finally settled on rapping like an extreme space traveling backpacker
who is so confusing he makes no sense (people prob. think I am already that dude)
over a very spacey reversed track.
So its really making fun of everyone and everything in rap.
I feel it was executed tastefully
and its one of my favorite joints 2 perform live with props and costume changes and all!
I wanna do a Part 2 soon
but for now
Download and experience S.A.G. right HERE

speaking of live shows please be in attendence
to the best show you might peep in this young year of ours
