Our Soul Divison homies give the c&s treatment O’Third’s dope Family Ties album. If you’ve never heard the original version of it, we posted it HERE.

A standout track from O’Third’s new Family Ties album. The album has a bunch of good stuff (some of which I already posted actually), but I wanted to single this one out specifically as both Cunta and Dizzle exceed expectations here.

Not crazy about the singing parts to be honest, but Zilla’s badbitchitis trumps all complaints. O’Third’s Family Times is coming October 3rd, the tracklist is below.

Ethereal R&B-tinged jam about the best things in life – sweet loving and good weed.

The visual accompaniment to the anthemic Somebody, directed by ST Trillsburge. Some context and commentary courtesy of Codie G:
This video was shot in the same neighborhood as Antione Dodson a few days before all his viral bonanza started. It’s great that it’s coming out after that because this is our version of what’s going down in Huntsville. We have highlighted over the years so much of what’s makes this city such as NASA, Redstone Arsenal, etc but this is the first time we dove into the gentrification going on in our city i.e. the Starshipz and Rocketz cover. Well this is the first video.
The contrast in this is the two schools shown and the two sets of housing projects. One we show the past, Boarded up schools and projects to a school that just closed down “For Sale†to a housing project on the chopping block for closure. The mural is from library satellite in another housing projects, Mason Court. The irony in this work of art is it’s hidden from the major thoroughfare running parallel to the library for the world to see. I call it hidden hope. With that said i give you the “Somebody†video
One detail about the video I want to point out – note that everyone is holding microphones. This is a clever touch that connects the dots between documentary and performance aspects of the video, underscoring the song’s compelling relationship of medium and message. Props to whoever came up with that idea.

This is good day for mixtapes, first Gibbs now this. You know SMS puts out quality product, and the O’Third crew has been on a particularly winning streak lately (see here). And you know releases from Huntsville are always family affairs, so there’s bound to be a cast of luminaries involved. So you know you gotta download this one.
EDIT: Had to revise the post a little after listening. There are nowhere near as many guests on here as I thought there would be. It’s an O’Third showcase all the way through, and it does a great job of displaying their considerable talents. Calling it a mixtape doesn’t do it justice either, as a cohesive statement of purpose it’s better than many ‘official’ albums released this year (granted, these semantic distinctions don’t matter much anymore).

DJ Cunta does really well but Kristmas steals the show. It doesn’t even sound like he’s performing a song here, more like he’s on top of a mountain somewhere yelling at god.

Possible AKA… Huntsville got yachts. The above picture of Norman Connors boat-side lounging perfectly captures the sound and mood of this leisurely meditation on the subject of hard work finally paying off. Produced by DJ Cunta (I think.)
