119 Presents: Countdown 2 Midnight

119 is proud to present the latest from Via Rosa in the form of the "Yes and Yes" EP. Via is working full time in Drama these days making incredible music, so this is her last solo release for a while. We couldn't be more excited to share this project with you. Here are some words from Via. You can check out her full thoughts on the project here : http://onehundrednineteen.com/features/immortal-content-via-rosa-yes-and-yes-ep/

"I’ve been surrounded by music my entire life with no intention of ending up where I am today I wanted to remind myself and others that you literally have no excuse not to express yourself I produced wrote sang painted the album cover shot and edited the promo video I mixed these tracks I shot the visual on my phone I understand they aren’t perfect or radio ready but the act of creating in it self is a form of therapy and sometimes you have to do what you can to get where you wanna go sometimes waiting for the right moment takes to long waiting for someone to care and to match your work ethic is to painful I wanted to show that none of what I do or have done now has happened over night or without allot of help from a team of people who believe in me so much it makes me cry and without them I’d be a sad girl in my room making stuff just to make it making stuff just because I wouldn’t know who I was if I didn’t




This is the music I make when I’m alone and scared the music I at times keep for me and I haven’t shared anything in a while cause  I wanted to see what happens when you give your self to the unknown and surrender to not being perfect or being in control or having the last word and letting pride ruin creativity well my friends you get allot of DRAMA and it’s been so worth it.




Here are some poems I wrote and put to music over these past couple years in my room while also working with DRAMA and THEMpeople and Airtech Sani who produced the majority of my music on soundcloud  these are tracks and loops I made in LOGIC the name YesAndYes to me is the Answer I want to the question I’m going to ask the love of my life “are you crazy? Do you love me “  I want to thank everyone who’s been rocking with me since my Myspace days and the ones who just found on my Soundcloud and come to the DRAMA shows now I really appreciate that Sofar sounds for putting me on my first Midwest Tour! It’s been great it’s time to Elevate this is Adios for now!"

119 PRODUCTIONS is proud to bring you the first in our artist series and we couldn’t be happier to have the premier installment be with a man who has innovated grooves in Chicago for some time now and has had a killer 2015. MOJEK, whose insane production can flip any cut, whip up original knocks has murked dance floors and wav files alike with a sound that has carried worldwide. So it’s only right 119 and Mojek have teamed up to bring you an EP called “World of Mojek”.  Add to that we’re happy to bring you the first single from the project, “The World”, featuring Ric Wilson who is fresh on the heels of his latest tape “The Sun Was Out". Enough from us though, here’s what the maestro has to say about the track:

"I made The World with Ric in homage to Chicago's history of Black House music and also a certain french duo who was heavily inspired by it. I took some inspiration from disco & funk like the OG's but also wanted to create a darker more tense mood that reflects the sonics of both old & new."

Be on the look out for the EP “World Of Mojek” in mid January. Until then take ‘The World’ in your pocket.

We're glad to bring you new music from two of the rawest acts in Chicago, Qari ( @longlivecarl )and Mulatto Beats ( @mulattobeats ), these two have been doing it big for some years and they go beast mode on "Basic". Check out more info here: http://onehundrednineteen.com/blog/countdown-2-midnight-qari-x-mulatto-basic-beach-jesus-x-lasko-woodlands/

Basic--- Qari (Prd. Mulatto Beats)

As we proceed to give you what you need... Countdown2Midnight continues to bring you another hot Brooklyn x Chicago collabo as @radamiz and @ongaud team up to bring y'all "Won't I". This one flexes Radamiz' lyrical skills which you can find on his awesome tape "Writeous" along side the killer production that Chicago's OnGaud outfit has laced with countless rising stars. 

We're closer than ever to the full Countdown 2 Midnight tape... get ready!

Won't I--- Radamiz (Prd. OnGaud)

As we proceed to Countdown, we are happy to bring y'all another BK x Chitown collabo. This time from Kahrion / Solar Five / I.O.D. and produced by Martin $ky. The bars are as heavy as the beat on this one and it all goes extra crazy. You can check for more at www.countdown2midnight.com.

As we continue the countdown to Countdown, we're happy as hell to bring you this latest joint from Jean Deaux and Phoelix, "Stranger Things". When we heard this joint that Jean laced for our tape, we were simply blown away by the 2min opus she provided. Phoelix's instrumental is a perfect canvas for Jean's unique mix of bars, melody, and a kind of ability to rock out. You want to talk about MOOD music? "Stranger Things" is that track and then some. While you can hear the subtle references to the netflix show, "who knows where he had could have been", the imagery Jean provides certainly stands on its own as a compelling piece of art.

What can one say about the year that these two artists had? About the past couple years these two artists have had? Mick Jenkins has been one of the most prolific voices out of Chicago with a body of work to match. Bringing knowledge to bars and the bars to the world, this dude is painting perfect pictures like none other. Kaytranada been burning up tracks, setting minds and dance floors a blaze like none other. So when these two connect, y'all know it's some shit. We're honored that "Aurora Borealis" is a part of Countdown2Midnight, what else can we say? Go crazy! www.countdown2midnight.com

Aurora Borealis--- Mick Jenkins (Prd. Kaytranada)

Iconic. Psalm One has been schooling y'all lil' rappers for a minute. 1/3 of The Rapper Chicks, our hero Psalm has bars that never stop and hit you in all the right places (some wrong places if you get in your way or if you're a freak like that (yes please)). We love Psalm, and with  @romanflowrs beats she makes "30 Plus" a Hip Hop gem. Let @psalmone put you on some game.

30 Plus--- Psalm One (Prd. Roman Flowrs)

Saba Pivot, one of the most hard working dudes out the westside of Chicago has had an amazing 2016, and from the looks of it, the movement is only going to keep on getting bigger. Sab's persistence and amazing talent all have shined through on his amazing #BUCKETLISTPROJECT and we're super lucky to bring y'all another offering from dude who's going from Hometown Hero to house hold name world wide.

@sabapivot

Hometown Hero--- Saba (Prd. Saba)

This is def a dude y'all got to watch out for in 2017 and beyond. LA VanGogh has been one of the most prolific artists in Chicago for sometime whether producing on his own or with @ambil under the @ youarenowsafensound banner or killing the bars with ease. LA is def set to blow up, and we're grateful to be able to put you on with this track "VanGogh's Story Time" where he lets his imagination run wild.

VanGogh's Story Time--- L.A. VanGogh (Prd. L.A. VanGogh x AmbI Lyrics x Wax Roof)

WYA--- Phoelix x Dax (Prd. Phoelix)

This is by far one of the best artists out Chicago right now and this might be one of his last rap releases as a lyricist. Don't be confused tho. If you been up on Martin $ky you know that the instrumentals are monstrous, and while we'll miss dude going wild on our stages, we know he's pumping plenty of fuel for other artists to do their thing. Super fortunate to have @martinxsky do his thing for us on Countdown 2 Midnight.

By Any Means--- Martin $ky (Prd. Martin $ky)

what can we say about the Vibe Dealer drea smith? She's a teacher, a healer, an amazing creative and thats where we catch her here. Having made great tracks with groups like @pyyramids , she's on her own now as The Vibe Dealer and has been putting out amazing content. A part of the #MedicineWoman collective, drea continues to amaze and we're so glad she teamed up with producer @airtechsani to bring y'all "Organic"

Organic--- drea smith (Prd. Sani)

SLLIME GHOULIE been oozing in the streets for a minute. The DJ / Emcee got a lot in store for y'all and if you a real student, you already know dude is at the center how this Chicago scene all started. greenSLLIME teams up with the rhyme slayer Qari to woo a Westside Rose. Produced by Nick Arcade, how could they be beat?

Featuring @richjonesmusic

We’re proud to share with you the third installment of our artist series following Mojek’s “World of Mojek” and Rio’s “Xan King Cole”, here we release fellow 119′er Benny Nice’s “Casual Romance”. The 10 track project is a step in a new direction for the artist / producer and as Benny tells it the project is about “the stress of modern romance and how fluid it can be. Music is catharsis for me and ultimately the whole project is a diary of my love life for the past two years through its and downs, but mainly ups. Additionally, and less poetically, it’s my first foray into creating instrumentals with no samples, all synths, and live instrumentation.”

Produced almost entirely by Benny Nice and Davis Jones of the group Blasé, there are features from producers B3 and FSTE along artist cameos from Rich Jones, Fernando Arias of The Avantist, Matty Rico, and much more. “Casual Romance” is a melodic, meditative work on love in new places, mirroring Nice’s own new experiences and conquests in Brooklyn after moving from Chicago. Prior to the release of the latest single “Gowanus”, Nice has released a visual for the single “Speak Our Mind” featuring Fernando Arias of The Avantist, along with a warm up single with “For Brunch”. The 10 track project is a new sonic landscape for Benny Nice, which shows a growth in both skill and style.

119 has had the pleasure of working with great artists like Mojek and Rio for it’s Artist Series, and working with it’s own Benny Nice is no different. Benny has been one of the founding members of 119, originally a producer of our former incarnation as hip hop collective Wiggidies Crew, evolving into a fine video producer/ director while remaining passionate about music. You can hear several of Benny’s productions for himself and other artists on our tapes “The Chicago Sight and Sound” and “Countdown 2 Midnight”.
