V White & The Politician drop new video feat Casual (of Hieroglyphics),

April 28, 2011 - PRLog -- On the heels of their recent string of music videos for the Stimulus Package album, Oakland Rap duo V-White & The Politician continue their forward momentum with a new music video, “Panda” ft Casual (of Hieroglyphics).  This serves as the lead single from their upcoming album Gas Station, slated for release July 5,th 2011.  Staying in tune with their roots, they’ve deployed some of the Bay Area’s notable heavy hitters including The Jacka, Casual (of Hieroglyphics), Nio Tha Gift, MacShawn100, J Stalin, B-Legit, Messy Marv, Philthy Rich and more. The 18-track album is their ambitious undertaking to offer eagerly awaiting fans a cohesive full-length experience.

     The black and white cinematography in “Panda” is a play on the concept of keeping things simple and fresh like the colors of the of duel  toned Panda bear. The video features a debut from Casual along with global performing turf dance group, Turf Feinz showcasing their unique style of fluid footwork and turf style contortion. Turf dancing and turf music a recognized art form and street culture, which V-White & The Politician incorporate into their music.

       In the west coast rap world “gas” is a reference to “heat” in delivery of style and lyrics, so V-White & The Politician thought it only fitting to title their 18-trk heat packed full length, Gas Station. The production on the album is a mix of Hip-Hop and funk, with elements of soul and understated melodies.  The album offers up feel good tracks that keep your head nodding, with moments of street-life story telling, and personal accounts of the loss of loved ones. The track “Can I” puts new school rappers J Stalin, Stevie Joe and Philthy Rich on an old school funk sounding production, while “Cocaine Music” featuring Macshwan100 (formerly on Death Row) and Messy Marv sheds light addictive habits and street life.

       Having come off a stint of show dates with Too Short, V-White & The Politician show no signs of stopping any time soon with plans for more performance dates in support of Gas Station.  The fans are still reacting to Stimulus Package, with tracks like “California” ft Too $hort rotating on MTVJams and Music Choice, and radio support from KMEL.  The Oakland mainstays continue to stay current with their audience.
