A1 the Sauceman ft Meuwl - Slippin Off the Edge

The newest member of SoundVizion comes through with a new joint featuring The LEGEND Meuwl...

DJ Charlie Blac presents Meuwl - Soooo Hot Right Now [MIXTAPE]

This isn't the original cover but its a dope ass picture!


I don't think I need to tell the story of this mixtape. This is a classic WV hip hop project that features great songs and freestyles plus arguably the best mixtape liner/drop I've ever heard from DJ MonstaLung. For those of you who for whatever reason lost this treasure of a mixtape... here you go!

Meuwl - Tools of the Trade

I always loved this picture... yes that is light being captured in mid air that is the PIST that Meuwl used occasionally. Super creative...

This is THE song that established Meuwl as an artist to look out for in WV. This graffiti writers anthem brought B-Boys, Writers and Backpackers to his shows by the boatload for years. I've seen this performed live if not 100 times damn close and it is still one of my favorite songs of his.

P.S. This is the only version of it I could find. It's the version off of the Nine Nick Bags of Funk Pt.2 CD that is minus the "Hi my name is" sample in the middle. If you have the full version can you please email it to us at LiveFromTheDub@gmail.com and I'll replace it on SoundCloud for everybody! Thanks

Haggard Twins - Discombobulated

With the retirement of Paycheck Game this past week and Meuwl's passing last year. I guess this means that Haggard is officially over. It became yet another sad day in hip hop when I drew this conclusion...

Check and Muewl tear this to shreds. The Busey sample is classic.

Dub Vee we are Super Awesome...

With the anniversary of the passing of arguably the greatest MC in the history of the great state of West Virginia coming up soon... expect to get a healthy dose of none other than the LEGEND Meuwl this week.

Tools of the Trade with L-No...

Being the big supporters of those who studied typography and tried to get their hand writing stylish..... we HAD to get an interview with a local underground art hero. ANTI

TOOLS OF THE TRADE: BURNIN THE MIDNIGHT OIL WITH ANTI

These days, at least on a mainstream/popular level, I feel that graffiti is one of the lost elements of hip hop (including breakers…and I don’t mean America’s Next Top Random Dance Crew breakin…I’m talking Beat Street breakin’!) Sure, big companies everywhere are down to use a writer’s talent to sell a bunch of Mountain Dew or X Games or whatever the fuck…but the average fan either doesn’t seem to know much or care much about Graff. That being said, I linked up with WV heavy hitter ANTI so everyone can see what time it is, and if they don’t….well you know the rest…

L-NO : At what age did you get into Graff/what inspired you to start writing?

ANTI : Between Huntington’s railroad and massive roadtrips, I’d been aware of Graff my whole life. At the age of 12 I made a point to completely change my handwriting. Two years later I took it to the streets with all my skater friends… we rode all day and caught tags all night. I quit a few years later because everyone pretty much grew up; no one was writing at all, and I didn’t know how to get where I wanted to be with it. Got back to it with a much better understanding in 2002 and been going hard ever since.

L-NO: How would you describe your style and how has it evolved over the years?

ANTI: What style?!?! My style is what I would call an “Appalachian orphan” it has no parents. No one ever taught me and until 2004 I didn’t meet anyone. SPEAK and IDEAS let me roll with them. In 2005 I met PSST (rip) and he taught me a lot. Then, I met OZ later and he showed me a lot. So I take what I saw and liked the best on the trains and what I liked the best in the state and tried to make it my own. I’m still desperately trying to. It’s an endless mission.

L-NO: What, if any, other mediums of art do you focus on? For example; are you into any other styles like canvas, prints, sculpture, graphic design, etc.?

ANTI: Graffiti killed the fine artist in me. I’ve done a few canvases for people but would rather stick to public assault.

L-NO: What is your ideal scenario to go bombing? Who do you like to write with, what type of spots do you like to hit, best times, etc (without giving away too much info of course)

ANTI: Best scenario: grimy ass cutty spots, rooftops, highways or trains. My partners are level headed businessmen; cool enough to chill in stressful situations and know when to calmly bounce. Timing is everything…..

L-NO: What WV crews do you think are representing right now? (quality of work, quantity of getting up, etc)

ANTI: My crews AKA and DAYONE got the whole state on lockdown.

L-NO: Who do you think are some up and coming WV writers that most people haven’t heard of?

ANTI: KABAL is really going for his right now in Huntington. The streets are hot as fuck and he’s getting up hard. He has a great bomb, good legible tag and a simple piecing style that he aint trying to be the next guy, he’s doing his own thing and I respect that a lot. He knows his history, respects the game and the players. BORT is also someone who holds it down statewide. He has one of the best natural scripts I’ve ever seen. He tags like a fiend and he forges copper blessed by ancient deities. THE RUNS is ill too. He just got real nice with it and his devotion and history is admirable. He’s also a made man.

L-NO: What other WV writer’s style do think is the freshest?

ANTI: OZKER and TEXT

L-NO: What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen while out on a mission?

ANTI: I got shot at and felt the bricks chipping away beside me as I finish my tag; that was nuts. Then the normal shit; bums jacking off, fucking, or shooting up. My friend wants me to tell you about this time at an all ages show in the Chucktown area the cops beat up a bunch of kids. Choke slammed this little girl, sent in a dog and ripped cameras from around their necks…. Well he came back to be more of an asshole and left his cruiser right outside while he went in, and never missing such a golden opportunity; I tagged the shit out of it with swastikas and crosshairs. He came back out and lost his mind. Tons of people saw me do it and no one said shit. He fucking LOST it. WIN!!!

L-NO: What are you into outside of graff? What kinda music/movies are you into, what do you do on your free time?

ANTI: Heavy metal, hardcore, hip hop with soul, intellect, and humor, bluegrass, and punk fucking rawk. Movies I like are bad evil, or real sad. I like billiards, long sunset walks on the train tracks. I like traveling, shitty strip clubs, and sketchy situations. I’m also an ultra weirdo.

L-NO: Where do you see the WV scene going in the next few years?

ANTI: Wherever we take it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can I get a RABBLE RABBLE?!?!?!

Rabble Rousers - Pine Cone [Live Video]

A different Live show performing "Pine Cone" w/ the original beat





RIP THE LEGEND MEUWL

WE'RE BAAAAACK!!!!!!!

After a few month hiatus we are officially back. It took me a minute to get back to where I felt I NEEDED to give you guys new music, videos, info, rumors, etc. But after the Meuwl Memorial Show at 123 Pleasent Street in Morgantown last Friday I felt the NEED to come back and do it bigger and better than ever!


Let's start off with one CLASSIC joint and a couple of pieces of information.

Meuwl and Ace Beanz off of the "Soooo Hot Right Now" mixtape with Charlie Blac from a few years back...

Meuwl ft Ace Beanz - FREESTYLE
http://usershare.net/j9oew493fm82


"Make my epitaph show/ that I gave a lot/ when I pass away and folks speak of Meuwl/ they gonna say that fool made people move" - Meuwl


Word is that Charlie Blac is dropping a "Best of" of sorts of Meuwls hottest verses and several unreleased songs. Not just songs that weren't officially released but literally UNHEARD songs. This should hit the streets the night of the Memorial Show at The Blue Parrot in Charleston WV on April 30th.
