As anticipation grows for the October 12th release of Von Pea’s new album, Pea’s Gotta Have It, he’s enlisted the help of a few friends for the album’s newest single “Thanks For Your Children.” The new track features guest spots from fellow Lessondary members Che Grand and Elucid and was produced by Philly’s own Brizzio, protégé to the legendary producer Buckwild. According to Von, he actually had to hi-jack this track away from Che, as Che’s relationship with Brizzio goes way back – he, not Von, usually gets first dibs on Brizio’s tracks.

Erk Tha Jerk’s new clip for “Perfect Mistake,” a single off The Prelude, the forthcoming free EP release and precursor to his imminent debut Nerd’s Eye View, breaks music video conventions in such a way that it’s hard to consider it a part of the same medium – less MTV fare than short film. A tale of crime and betrayal, the video captures the aftermath of what appears to have been a diamond heist and follows a Bonnie and Clyde-esque couple, played by Erk and R&B Singer Netta.
