The Funklords known as Chromoe have released yet another video for a track off the upcoming White Women album.

This time, we get the official music video for the poppy single “Jealous (I Ain’t With It)” which depicts Dave 1 and P-Thugg acting as wedding chapel employees who marry happy couple after happy couple, much to Dave 1’s dismay.

Eventually, however, Dave 1 snaps and steals a bride away with P-Thugg acting as his accomplice. Who gets the last laugh? Watch the video and find out!

Miny: I started a death metal band with my sister when I was 13. We thought it was hilarious because we were two girls playing this terrifying music. The metal band went on for 8 years and I felt like I wanted to branch out and start writing in the genres that I was primarily listening to; rap and pop.

It’s as if the universe began accepting different kinds of female rappers the moment my love for rap took a complete hold on me and I wanted to be a part of it. The freedom of expression as a female in rap is very appealing to me — and the more I do it, the more freeing and fun it gets!

Miny: I think it’s important to accept and free all of the things I feel instead of trying to fit one particular genre. My music tends to be kind of bipolar, and I would describe it as genre skipping indie pop/rap. I set out to make each song different from the next to express whatever I’m feeling.

Miny: I’m inspired by artists, songs, feelings, conversations, relationships, or thoughts that strike me as potent and authentic. I try to tap into a place of expression without filter which can be challenging. Growing up in the 90’s also really inspires me because it was all about being proud of your quirkiness.

Miny: Getting started and being independent is artistically freeing, but financially straining which is probably the hardest part.

Music costs money and to cut down costs- I end up doing a lot myself. I’m typically multitasking with directing/editing/ producing my music videos, writing, mixing, mastering, social networking, graphic design, etc.

The plus side is that I end up learning a lot, and have control over what’s released because I’m personally involved in all of it.

JNTM: Women in music, specifically rap, are becoming a more dominant force. What do you think that says about our generation and where music is heading? Have you ever had any problems with performing because of your gender? 

Miny: I think it’s great that fellow females are trying to make it in rap, but we have a long way to go before we’re respected. Being a female in metal and now in rap can be really challenging and I’ve definitely encountered difficulties in both due to my gender.

It often feels like people want to test my skill or fit me into some sort of category when music should be the focus- not gender. I understand why things are that way because a lot of females continue to send us backwards with gimmicks instead of being innovative and it makes people skeptical.

I’m hopeful that with time people will get used to seeing females in powerful positions in music and that gender can be less of a focus.

Miny: Affording an artistic passion really comes down to taking advantage of resources you have available, staying networked with like minded creators, and being educated. A lot of my music videos were done before I graduated from ASU in the film and media production program. My school provided film equipment, and I edit the videos using a mixture of programs which I learned in High School.

I work closely with film friends from ASU who dedicate a lot of time and energy into helping me. Right now I record at a studio that I built this summer where I record, mix, and master songs using Pro Tools. I’m basically working on no budget and have to get super creative and maximize my productive time to get things done.

Miny: I love social media, without it independent artists wouldn’t be anywhere. I think it’s challenging because people constantly crave new information but it keeps me on my toes. Social media helps me grow because I immediately get to see what people like or dislike in order to gain perspective.

I think every artist faces difficulties in terms of loosing face to face connections, and dealing with online harassment- that’s really the only detractor with social networking and it’s not really that negative because I personally get a kick out of it.

Miny: The most important part of being an independent artist is putting out authentic music while you can. The Biggest challenges include cost, time, and energy. The most enjoyable aspects are having control of my music, getting to personally interact with my audience, and making every song and video exactly how I want.

I stay focused by being inspired by new music and dedicating my efforts to my sister Desiree who passed away in 2007. I like making music/ videos that she would have enjoyed. I would advise other artists that if you keep on going- you’ll get where you want to be. Don’t let anything slow you down!

Miny: I started rapping during the summer of 2012. I was living in LA and had seen several articles spring up on female rappers, and it just got to a point where I had to start. Rapping has been something that I’ve wanted to do for so long and I feel like since the moment I’ve started- things have constantly been changing.

My dreams, ambitions, personal style, musical influences, and branding are constantly changing as I’m growing within the genre. I’ve started to feel less like an outsider trying to fit into a genre, and more like an artist trying to celebrate their individuality in a genre that embraces that.

JNTM: What advice would you give to someone who wants to do what you’re doing? 

You just have to do it, and don’t stop. Do whatever you can to get yourself out there- make some recordings, indie music videos, play as many shows as possible and get going. With enough time and effort- you’ll get where you want to be. 

JNTM: What’s in the future for Miny? Where would you like to see yourself in 5 years?

Well, we are happy to announce that part of this mystery is finally coming to a close. In their most recent video release, Phuture Doom is actually announcing a release of a full-length album which will be released on October 15, 2013 via OWSLA Records.

Phuture Doom Announce Full-Length Album:

In this video, we’re given most of the same clips we’ve been seeing in the previous string of videos released within the past few weeks. One of the most curious things is the massive amounts of Hebrew text found within these videos, as previously mentioned. Anyone out there who can translate those messages for us?

In terms of the song samples and what is going to be on this full-length album, it seems as though it will be comprised mainly of songs featured on their Nightfall EP which was released earlier this year.

If this video is the last to come before the release, here’s what we can assume will be the track list (in no particular order):

Mach 100

Black Acid Rain

Burn the Knowledge

Phuneral Phuture

Doom Terror Corps

Han Breaks

Paradise Lost

Stay tuned for more updates! There are almost undoubtedly going to be some…

UPDATE: 

Phuture Doom, has instead released the following video outlying “The Book of Nightfall,” the “first published scripture of Phuturism.”

Music and song writing in its self is an art form attempted by many and perfected by a select few. You can argue that rap and hip-hop are hardly an art form when so many songs have a central theme of money, clothes and hoes. So many times country music ends up repetitively twangy while rock and roll can entail a rag tag jumble of electric guitars and loud noises.

While all of those are accurate observations, few elite comedians around the world have taken common music and turned it into an entirely different listening experience. What you know or think you know about music and its usual content is constantly challenged and met with laughs and occasional head shaking. Consider these musical comedians as the modern day “summa-cum-laude” of lyrical hilarity.

1.Flight of the Conchords

Hailing from New Zealand both Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie joined forces in college in 1998 to create the ultimate comedy duo. While majoring in theater and film, Jemaine and Bret began composing music and skits together that would later be dubbed as comedy gold. Well known for their songs ” Most Beautiful Girl in the Room” and “Business Time”, the two paved the way as one of the first comedic musicians to have their own television show. In 2008 their album titled “The Distant Future” was awarded a Grammy for Best Comedy Album. The alias Rhymenocerous and Hiphopopotamus continue to be a beacon of hope to world wide comedic hopefuls and provide constant laughs still to this day.

2.Lonely Island

Comprised of Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone, and SNL star Andy Samberg, the group Lonely Island brought national audiences to their knees in over-the-top comedic lyrics and music videos. It wasn’t long before the trio was taking their knee slapping music from the SNL stage to professional recording studios in 2001. After releasing the “Wack Album” featuring musical guest P Diddy and comedic actor Paul Rudd, it was clear to the world the group had made world wide noise along with iconic friends. Songs like “Mother Lover” and “Dick in a Box” had the world gasping for air with the help of pop icon Justin Timberlake. Later hip hop stars like Akon and T Pain were featured in Lonely Island style music as well as rock legend Michael Bolton. Nothing yells their “Like a Boss” approach to music louder than, “I Just Had Sex”.

3.Bo Burnham

Rather than walk the line between nerdy and funny, Bo Burnham combined the two concepts in to a lethal combination of lyrics and word play. A young YouTube sensation, Bo began writing and performing his music in his room at his parents house at the age of 16. Such works as “Bo Fo Sho” and “New Math” got notable recognition world wide as it appeared that Burnham would be an almost over night internet sensation. Never looking back, Bo took the opportunity and ran with it  acting as a one man band creating more music with taboo content and puns. His  “Words Words Words” album released March of 2009 simultaneously earning him a Comedy Central Tour the same year. “When life gives you lemons…odds are you just found lemons” is a justifiable outlook on life as well as a small glimpse what is inside the head of comedic prodigy Bo Burnham.

4.Stephen Lynch

Considered a “Comedy Bad Boy”, Stephen Lynch gladly accepts his roll as the borderline offensive genius and injects it in each and everyone of his songs. 1996 marked Stephen’s start in mainstream comedy earning two Comedy Central Presents appearances as well as releasing two studio albums and two live albums not including his newly released double-disc album “Lion” in 2012. The infamously hilarious Lynch made national noise with his self explanatory titled song “Special Olympics” and “Craig Christ” shining light on that which isn’t publicly laughed at. Nothing is off limits as he provides terribly great content ranging from Nazi’s to do-it-yourself remedies for abortion. Shake your head all you want, Stephen Lynch will sing louder and smile wider forcing audiences to ignore their moral compasses and accept his humor.

5.Weird Al Yankovic

At the ripe age of 53, “Weird Al” Yankovic has provided musical parodies for decades and always reminds us of random crap we never would have thought of. The more popular the song the better, for Al will take that song and inject it with random thoughts and nerd concepts that will have you asking yourself, “Why am I laughing at this?” Victims of such parodies range from Michael Jackson’s “I’m Bad” revamped to “I’m Fat” as well as Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” changed to “Like a Surgeon”. Like it or not, Al has been around for ever and wisely changes with the times bringing his humor to his own television shows in the mid-90’s and transforming many rap songs into his own “not-so-gangster” renditions. If one of his own songs could personify his legacy as a comedic song writer and actor, it would be the always karaoke’d and never clapped for, “White and Nerdy”.

A video surfaced today of some kids from Rockaway Beach, New York who decided to film a “music video” during the massive storm. Clearly identifying themselves as idiots, the duo can be seen leaping away from giant tides and running around with their instruments while destruction ensues.
