Strange Featured Video

From PROLYPHIC & BUDDY PEACE's "Working Man" LP. Info and package deals at http://tinyurl.com/WorkingManSFR

Prolyphic pulls back the curtain to examine the current trend of 'going green' and exposes what really lies behind the facade, skewering opportunistic environmentalists and questioning the motives behind big business posing as friend-to-the-planet, all while scooting about the city in an adorable tiny convertible.

Vocals by Prolyphic, beat & scratches by Buddy Peace.

Video directed by AUPHEUS.

Strange Featured Release

Metermaids - Rooftop Shake CD

METERMAIDS, a Brooklyn-based duo consisting of emcees Sentence and Swell, often refer to themselves as "the Bad News Bears of hip-hop." However, after teaming up with the X-Ecutioners DJ Rob Swift, receiving production from Grammy Award Winner 9th WONDER, and pulling in vocal contributions from indie-hop legends SAGE FRANCIS & BUCK 65, their "ROOFTOP SHAKE" LP has made moves to turn that self-deprecation on its head.

Check out all of the music videos from their SFR debut LP and cop yours here.

Clip of the Week

SAGE FRANCIS – Zero Demo // produced by BUCK 65 // FREE DOWNLOAD!

ZERO DEMO is a previously unheard version of “I Was Zero” off of Sage Francis’ LI(F)E album (www.tinyurl.com/SageLife.) As you’ll notice, it ended up being completely re-arranged and reworked by the time it was released in 2010. On this version you will hear the original beat that Buck 65 produced for it as well as an additional Sage Francis verse that was stricken from the album version. The artwork for this single was done by Falside, photo by Anthony St. James.

Strange Famous Records is offering this demo as a free download for a limited time as a show of thanks for all the fans and their continued support. THANK YOU!

Li(f)e is available on CD & Vinyl along with more options at www.tinyurl.com/SageLife

Full song lyrics are available at the SFR Soundcloud here.
