Grizz found the perfect location for us to shoot the video for “The Bar”, so we rolled out there and shot it, DIY style, with my $199 camera. I edited this with iMovie, so this was a gritty affair (think: the video for “Protect Ya Neck”). This is the first video I ever directed (with some input from Theory and Dial Tone, a lot of which didn’t make the final cut). I think it came out pretty well. This song is produced by Dimensions and features Noyeek the Grizzly Bear (Grizz) and can be downloaded for free at http://thepackage.bandcamp.com/track/the-bar
The cast of the video includes Dimensions, Grizz, and Theory of The Package, Dial Tone (Team Demolition), Trickstar (Depth Charge Recordings), Pro Chi (Amphibians), and the children of Dimes, Theory and Pro Chi.
Noyeek’s solo debut “Face Crunch” contains a lot of classic collaborations between the members of The Package and their former group Infinite Loop before The Package came to be. It’s a must have for any Package fan to complete your collection!
(Pictured above is the no-budget video for “Outta My Sight” shot and edited by Grizz’s wife…for our more high budget selections, check the video section of the site)
For those who missed out, Noyeek the Grizzly Bear (a/k/a Grizz) had a budding solo career before The Package formed. His solo debut (Face Crunch) came out before The Package’s debut (New Golden Era). You might have slept on Noyeek’s original website, which pre-dates this one and is pretty dope. You should also pick up “Face Crunch” if you haven’t already, it’s full of bangers and includes a few pre-Package collabs between Dimensions, Noyeek and Theory.
“Basement Classics” is a late Valentines Day gift from PKG to everyone who has shown us love these past 12 months. Mixed by Theory, this blend of unreleased songs by Dimes and Noyeek (of The Package) and Spirit Equality should keep your winter warm till spring comes.
The Dimensions (a/k/a Dimes) songs are from his upcoming solo debut, “Slanguage (Brain Cell.a.Bration)” and the Noyeek the Grizzly Bear (a/k/a Grizz) songs are from his upcoming sophomore solo album “Eartertainment”, both dropping sooner than you expect (weather alert: spring and summer will be warmer than usual this year…LOL)
