I watched Neal Brennan’s 3 Mics standup special on Netflix last night. (Brennan is the guy who helped create and write Chappelle’s Show.) Often you hear some of the best comics have some of the darkest and depressing back stories, but that’s what makes them great: they channel that hurt into something the complete opposite — funny.
But Brennan handled his previous 40 years of depression and addiction differently on stage. Sure, he did his comedy, set with one-liners and routine standup about dating and sex. But he did something I don’t think I’ve ever seen in a comedy standup special. For one-third of the show, Brennan dropped the jokes (for the most part) and told his life story, one that was full of abuse, depression, addiction and alcoholic father and search for closure. It’s hard for a lot of people to share stories like Brennan did, let alone record it and put it on Netflix for millions to see. But it also demonstrated how he used comedy and an openness on stage to force his hiding in the fear of living in the shadows, which he’d admittedly hit in for too long.
Everyone handles the darkness inside them and the momentary happiness the light shines through in different ways. Brennan, as I learned, learned the best way for him to handle it was thought TMS therapy and speaking about it openly. Other people, as we’ve found through hundreds of years of art, put it into song and a visual capacity.
Brooklyn native SupaWave Osbourne has a darkness all around him, and there’s a certain fear that comes along with that. But Osbourne, as he depicts in the video for his song “Blvcked Out,” is ready to head into “the unknown with a fearless outlook” — and that’s the only way he knows how.
He said in a press email the song is about “knowing that you are an immortal spirit after everything is stripped away. … To not only not fear the other side but to embrace it, because in being BLVCKED OWT you can find light.”
The video, which counts as Osbourne’s DopeHouse debut, sees him bluntly tackling that darkness with confidence. It’s grainy and shot in black-and-white. Each time the darkness overcomes him, though, he gets back up and with the same aura.

Hip hop may have started as a party startin’ and crowd rockin’ artistic expression, but then emcees took it to a new level as a test of lyrical dexterity and creativity. And then rappers like Aesop Rock and Blackalicious took the stage to share what they thought hip hop could become. A product of this generation, Supawave Osbourne came up with a bumping new track with a few of his friends that will be on his upcoming project The SupaWave Mixtape. His style is comparable to Kool Keith in its flows. He’s joined by Vast Air of Cannibal Ox, Double A.B., Mo Iz Real, and An Hobs. The beat is an east coast boom bap take on a reggae rhythm.

The video features Supawave strolling through NYC alongside a masked friend who seems to be having a fine day of his own. Supawave had this to say about the track via email:

“This classic style posse track came together one special night after heavy sessions of building on general knowledge and ancient wisdom. The 5 mc’s here each functioning as individuals and as parts of a whole, like fingers. And like fingers they form to make a hold that is strong. In this case, IRON STRONG. They form the IRON FIST to knock out all haters and opposition to the strong flows. Vast Aire is the thumb/the grip, Double A.B. the index/the pointer, Supawave Osbourne the middle finger/F.U., Mo Iz real the Ring/Kiss the Ring, An Hobs the Pinky/the brain.” - Mass Appeal

Brooklyn, New York emcee SupaWave Osbourne presents the music video for “Blvcked Owt”, his new single produced by German beatsmith Rato. The video was directed by Trife Drew of Figure Eight Films. Representing Brooklyn’s Bushwick and Flatbush sections, SupaWave has collaborated with Copywrite, has shared the stage with the likes of MF DOOM, Sean Price and Machine Gun Kelly, and is prepping for the release of The Mandela Effect, his forthcoming album. Osbourne recently released visuals for “Iron Fist 5” (watch) Vast Aire of Cannibal Ox, Double AB, Mo Iz Real and An Hobbes, and “Left Shoes” (watch). Osbourne says the song is about “going into the unknown with a fearless outlook. Knowing that you are an immortal spirit after everything is stripped away. The scenes with the white background are life and everything that comes with it, like knowledge, happiness, creativity, depression, expression, etc… Meanwhile the scenes in the darkness are the opposite of that. Whether it be death, afterlife, or simply, the unknown. The dichotomy is set up to show that we can be fully active and aware in all states, and, to know this and to not be afraid of anything. Whether in life or out of it. To not only not fear the other side but to embrace it, because in being BLVCKED OWT you can find light.” - Triple HQ

Commenting on the song, , SupaWave says “Growing up I always was into skateboarding and hung out with skateboarders whom anyone who knows them would agree, are relentless pranksters. And, I’m just giving descriptions of my personality by saying that if we were friends I’d be the type to sleep over at your house and wake up, hide all your left shoes on you and then leave before you wake up.” - Swurv Radio

What y’all know about keeping it grown and sexy?
The artist formerly known as Titty Boi knows a thing or two and in his Ty Dolla Sign and Trey Songz featured clip to “It’s A Vibe” recruits some grown women who know just how to seduce the camera without twerking a single cheek.
Young Dolph is taking 100 lemons and turning them to lemonade for his visuals to “100 Shots” – named after the number of bullets thrown his way this past February – where he flosses lots of ice and his exotic cars to remind his haters that he’s still living.
