After taking a 6-year hiatus Cali trio Pac Div returned a few weeks ago with their new album ‘1st Baptist’. Specializing in eccentric lyricism and dope flows, the rap group is a breath of fresh air from newer acts. In support of the album they unload the split-screen visuals for “Gorgeous.”
Our long time homies, PAC DIV & Chuck Inglish, got a show this coming Tuesday June 30th at The Regent in LA. If you’re interested in checking that out, get your tix HERE.
It’s 4/20 tomorrow and Sean Healy Presents is bringing you Pac Div along with Johnny Polygon and more at Tru Hollywood in Los Angeles. What better way to celebrate (or whatever you do on 4/20) than to see a live show from the L.A. based group, who actually puts on REALLY great live shows. Trust me, I’ve been to a handful!
This is an early show! So doors open at 6pm! Make a note of that. Ok, rules after the jump. You know the drill.
I had the chance to sit down and chat with producer Scoop DeVille about the current success of “Poetic Justice.” After a few questions, we had a special guest join us, Pac Div member Mibbs. The duo discussed their joint EP, Freebass, which will be entirely produced by Scoop DeVille. “The sound is a really obscure way of making like, I would say, real bass-y 808 heavy grimy music… It’s a special piece of hip-hop,” said Scoop of the project’s sound.
Scoop and Mibbs also gave us a little preview of the EP’s title track, “Freebass.” You can see them playfully perform it throughout the interview. Yep, just another day out in sunny L.A.
While out in Monterey, California shooting with LRG for their Spring 2013 lookbook, Pac Div killed two birds with one stone and also shot their video for GMB‘s “Savages.” The overcast sky provided the perfect setting for the gritty track performed in the neighborhood in Monterey. Check out “Savages” above.
Sidenote: Pac Div is going on the Light Up The Night tour with Johnny Polygon and After The Smoke next month. For dates and cities, click here.
Pac Div stopped by the studio with the L.A. LeakersJustin Credible, DJ sourMILK, and Fuzz Fantab. The L.A. trio talked about the meaning behind the title of their new album, who the mystery lady on their album artwork is, and working with Kendrick Lamar.
A couple of awesome acts (see the lineup in the flyer above) are congregating at The Roxy to raise money for the Midnight Mission and to donate toys to the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. Tickets are $15 without a toy and $10 with a toy. We’re giving away a pair of tickets to the show and in case you’re the winner… you should bring a toy anyways!
Reason for the title? Mibbs tells Billboard‘s The Juice, “We’ve always been heavy on our sneaker game, whether we’re trying or not, so by us having all those sneaker boxes handy, might as well use those for cash storage!” Well then, in case you were wondering how the LA trio Pac Div is livin’, there’s your answer. Pick up the crew’s album GMB on iTunes.
