With his latest visual release, Project Mayhem Music affiliate & New Deal Crewmember Chris Crack decided to transport us back in time. Although the Davy Greenberg directed video was shot earlier this week, “The Interlude” is a track found on his first EVER mixtape project, “D.O.P.E. [Doing.Our.Part.Effortlessly.]“, released in early 2012. In the visual Crack shows how he and his New Deal Crew family spend their downtime. So even on his days off he’s working. With a little help from Ms. Badu, Crack proves that he’s been problem since early in his career.
If you haven’t checked out his debut mixtape “D.O.P.E. [Doing.Our.Part.Effortlessly.]“, I suggest you do. And don’t forget his critically acclaimed project, “Kitchen In The Bassment“, is also available for download.
The first visual from Tree‘s upcoming “Sunday School II” project comes by way of the soulful single “Devotion (Get It)“. Produced by Tree & super producer BINK!, “Devotion” is a revealing tale of Tree’s coming of age in both music and life in general. The Creative Control directed visual follows Tree and a few of his fellow Mayhem Machine brethren through the gritty streets of the westside of Chicago.
The video was premiered by MTV2 and can currently be viewed in rotation on MTV Jams or via MTV‘s official website.

Mayhem Music‘s #ThrowbackThursday feature is back in full effect and this week’s joint is something special. “Lo Sweatas” was Project Mayhem‘s very first full length video and permanently stamped the group’s place in Chicago’s hip hop & fashion scene. The buzz and acclaim surrounding this video catapulted the group into the cross hairs of not only local, but national media outlets. Directed by Phil Lee (see also: “Amazing/Celebration”), this visual masterpiece was unrivaled by any video put out by any local Chicago area artist dating before its release. We know its getting a lil cold outside, no worries for us though: “My clique, we rock Lo Sweatas”….
