B-Side in White

One of my favorite Taproot song's ever - let alone a B-Side. It's called Transparent - man, wish this one would have made a Taproot album.

As most of you know, Taproot guitarist, Mike DeWolf has been the primary designer for Badseed Clothing since the beginning.  We love his work on stage and in the design studio.

Here is vintage cut of Taproot killing "Transparent" at St. Andrews Hall in early 2000's in the infamous White Dickies painter outfits. Love it.

Wayne Fontes is Back

Check out the video below "Totally Awesome" from Marv Won featuring Rio Data. This the latest from Detroit MC Marv Won of the infamous Fatt Killahz lore. Marv just released a solo record under the classic title "Wayne Fontes Music".

Anybody familiar with the Detroit music scene will recognize the infamous Saint Andrews Hall stoop where Marv holds court in this video.

Great track and cool video.

True Detroit Hustle


Hey Badseed Fans - one of our favorite artists, Chief from our hometown of Detroit, is releasing a new EP/album on Valentine's Day titled "Broken".  Chief has been a steady force on the Detroit hip-hop circuit since the early 2000s after honing his craft while at school in Pittsburgh, PA.  The first track we ever heard from Chief was "Summertime" from his debut EP "Rehab".  Then who could forget the "feel-good" anthem about hustling in the Detroit scene called "City Boy".  That song has been in my steady rotation for a good 3 years.

Show some support and buy the new "Broken" record (available Feb 14) from Mega Royal Records by clicking here.

Chief is having a record release show on February 20 at the legendary Token Lounge.

Lastly be on a lookout for a Chief x Badseed x MegaRoyal limited edition T-Shirt commerorating the release of "Broken" coming soon at www.badseedclothing.com
