VIDEO: John Graham ft. Esha J – Dear Diary
CLICK IMAGE FOR VIDEO
"Dear Diary" is taken from the great album "Success In Retrograde" released earlier this year, the track was produced by one of WIB's favourites Shade Cobain and directed by Patrick Florescio...
Dear Diary, the first visual release from the "Success In Retrograde EP" takes you on a journey through the mind of a songwriter who just wants the world to understand his vision!
The city of Philadelphia serves as the canvass for this vivid painting in motion. We all have private thoughts that the world may not understand, but there's always someone else out there who truly gets it!

FEBRUARY 2012: CELEBRATING ‘DILLA DAY’ ACROSS THE STATES!
Today marks the first day of Dilla month. Facebook, twitter, and any popular blog that you may be venturing out to check are also trying to put up their sickest tribute post ever. Even last year, Stones Throw had a video contest, and some of the participants made their own 'Dilla Tribute' to his songs. At this point in time, EVERYONE has either heard about him, or finally know who this famous producer is. Unfortunately, because of his untimely demise is the part of the reason why many (like myself, admittedly) knows of the name. Mind you, my story is slightly different in this case.. but isn't it the same for everyone? The important thing is that everyone came to know his music, and regardless of how anyone feels about that (whether you call it 'jumping on the bandwagon' or whatever), the fact of the matter is that with music, people learn to appreciate it when the artist is still here.. or gone.
Since there's going to be tributes all across the states, here's a few tribute parties I found so far:
INTERVIEW: Eric Lau — Word Is Bond Exclusive Interview
Eric Lau
After Moka Only and Chief last week, it is now time for London producer Eric Lau to be featured here with a very interesting video interview we recorded at the end of 2011.
First of all, we would like to thank the owner of Guanabana, a wonderful restaurant in Camden, London, for lending his space for the time of the interview and providing such a lovely setting. Not to mention, the food is delicious there! It was also a great pleasure to catch up with Eric and get to meet Simon from Kilawatt, and we are very grateful to both of them for taking some time to chill with us and answer our questions. As the talented producer is about to release The Mission EP in collaboration with Guilty Simpson, there is no better time to get familiar with him and his music. In this interview, he tells us about travelling in Asia and around the world, being a mentor and role model for young people, future projects and more. Without further delay, here is Eric Lau, in his own words...

VIDEO: ScholarMan — Overview
CLICK IMAGE TO WATCH VIDEO
As soon as I watched this video this morning, I knew I would have to share it with you. Not only do I appreciate ScholarMan and his music greatly, but this is quite beautiful and offers a great dose of escapism. Shot in Mexico and around the Teotihuacan pyramids, the visuals courtesy of Que Films are quite impressive and the newly-addicted traveller that I am is almost drooling while watching them. On top of the beauty of the scenery and the concept of the video, the track itself is amazing and makes me look forward to more from the MC/producer. Self-produced Overview is taken from ScholarMan's upcoming album Worth Fighting For, which is scheduled to drop next month. As usual, we'll probably tell you more in due time.
