Stones Throw Compiles Videos on DVD
Stones Throw is ushering in the new year with its usual flurry of releases, tours, and related ephemera, and the biggest of the current batch is the label's second DVD.
In Living the True Gods: Stones Throw 102 DVD is a collection of 15 videos from the label, including offerings from Madvillain (whose previously unreleased "Accordion" video is available for viewing at the link below), Madlib, J Dilla, Oh No, Gary Wilson Quasimoto, Aloe Blacc, and Lootpack.
The DVD comes out February 12 and features extras such as a 2003 interview with J Dilla, a mini-documentary about label head Peanut Butter Wolf and his late partner Charizma, a behind-the-scenes look at Oh No's "Move" video, and live footage of Jaylib and Quasimoto, among others.
But before releasing True Gods, Stones Throw will put out the Madlib-produced remix version of Percee P's Perseverance album. Perseverance: The Remix comes out January 29 (with a digital release a bit earlier) and features guest spots from Aesop Rock, Diamond D, Chali 2na (ex-Jurassic 5), Prince Po, Karriem Riggins, and Madlib himself.
Stones Throw will also release Guilty Simpson's solo debut, Ode to the Ghetto, on March 25. The album features production from Madlib, Oh No, Black Milk, and the late J Dilla.
And finally, at least in terms of releases, a record that's already out: It's the first in Stones Throw's new Rhythm Trax series of "beats on vinyl," according to the label's website. Vol. 1 comes courtesy of Spokane, Washington resident James Pants.
In the live department, Percee P and Guilty Simpson have a big European tour coming up in February.
