[VIDEO] Reflection Eternal - "Back Again"

Here's the official video for Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek's first single from their reunion album, featuring the lovely Res on the hook. Directed by the homie Todd Angkasuwan. If you wanna see how they made the video, check out our exclusive behind the scenes footage. Why? Because Talib Kweli said so.

Reflection Eternal - "Back Again" [BEHIND THE SCENES]

A few months back, we were allowed exclusive access to the Reflection Eternal video shoot for their first single off their reunion album. The song is bangin. We caught up with Talib, Hi-Tek and Res to talk about the song "Back Again" as well as the concept of the unique video, directed by Todd Angkasuwan. It was shot all in one take with mutliple cameras, and we'll let you in on how they did it right here.

The video drops next week, and you can catch Reflection Eternal on tour all summer at the Rock The Bells Festival.

Reflection Eternal Interview w/ ThisIs50.com

Interesting fact about this interview, they stole our Hip Hop Official footage of Reflection Eternal performing at SXSW. Once at 1:20, and again at 3:10. Thanks Curtis, I'm flattered.

Kid CuDi Interview: Part 3

And ya don't stop. Here's Part 3 of our Kid CuDi interview series in the streets of Austin, Texas. He's joined by his friend, mentor, and legendary producer 88-Keys, who has been supporting him and providing sage-like advice since the jump. Also, we happened to have the cameras rolling when CuDi meets fellow Ohio-native and beatsmith extraordinaire DJ Hi-Tek for the first time ever. Dope moment. I think Hip Hop Official might have just helped broker a production deal between these two. If Tek produces a track for Cudders upcoming album, you know where you saw it first. And I want my finders fee.

Reflection Eternal Interview @ SXSW

I was lucky enough to attend the Blacksmith showcase at SXSW, and they entire show was completely off the hook. I met some dope people, shout out to Elliot Wilson and the lovely Star. I see you! The highlight of the evening was the Reflection Eternal reunion between Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek. In this interview, they talk about their first album in over 9 years, and the best part about performing live at SXSW. Bringing back sweet memories...

LMAO at Hi-Tek shouting out Twitter at the end.

*Inside the Blogger's Studio: I was looking for a dope photo of Reflection Eternal, and was having a difficult time finding something so I went to Flickr and searched for "Reflection Eternal" and some interesting ass photographs came up. Check em out if you're into that sort of thing.

[New] The Game ft. Nas - "Letter To The King" (prod. by Hi-Tek)

The Game and Nas write a letter to Dr. Martin Luther King (RIP). This is powerful. Nas does Nas. Game name drops more than any other rapper, but he comes correct. Has he ever wrote a verse and NOT mentioned someone else? Hi-Tek came so dope on this one. The music is beautiful. This is the type of song you throw on, sit back, and zone out to. Word.

This will be the best song on LAX.
