NEW MUSIC VIDEO! QUETZAL GUERRERO & OVEOUS MAXIMUS - "DAY IN THE LIFE" HD

QUETZAL GUERRERO feat. OVEOUS MAXIMUS - DAY IN THE LIFE from Detail Shoppe on Vimeo.

So this is my 2nd music video to date. Wow... I can't believe I've debuted 2 of these already. Was always a dream of mine to show some visuals. Its now a reality. I want to thank my brother Quetzal Guerrero for asking me to co-write this song with him and also thank Dahveed Telles for shooting this amazing video along with his super talented crew. I jus hope the world catches on to us before I die. I'd like to see the recognition in this lifetime. Until then, enjoy this. RIP to my brother Ziiinc Blue. I dedicate the verses to him. Btw, you can also watch this video on YouTube HERE.

FLYING LOTUS REMIX: "IF ART IS WINE" FEAT. OVEOUS MAXIMUS AND MOMS

This song is for all the Artists out there who act like THEY'RE SHIT DON'T STINK. muthafuckas guess what... it DOES.. just like everybody else's. Can't stand muthafuckas with egos. so unnecessary. no, really...it is. This all started when I was rocking a few shows at SXSW this year and I was telling my friend Radio Rose about how some dudes act funny like they don't know you or like they need security as if they was on some MJ shit. AND THEY'RE NOT!

Anyway, as always, I will not dissapoint you with the lyrics. The original song from Flying Lotus is titled "Sangria Spin Cycles". You can get that from StonesThrow Records. which btw, my homie Dam Funk is on that label. so make sure ya'll support him. thats my dude. So yeah, I wrote a song with the whole "wine" theme to keep Lotus' original idea goin. In my lyrics you'll notice that the entire song is written in "wine" metaphor. Just like I said in the opening... "Art is like Wine, let it age for awhile before you spill your EGO." Nuff said. ps. This Painting you see here is by Ruth Olivar Millan.

OVEOUS MAXIMUS: THE IAMBIC MOMENT



Well, here we go again.... Just a few months later since my debut album "Future Intentions" and now I bring you this... THE NEW ALBUM... "The Iambic Moment". This time around lyrically, I focused more on telling you guys personal stories and the reflections of a fellow human being known as Ove. I hope you read between the lines at times so that you may be inspired to the full effect of this project's intention. The beats are very different too. I carefully selected joints that allowed me to spit some heavy bars. Like I said in an earlier post on my twitter, If ya'll can't feel these bars, then I was NEVER a Poet. Having said that, I'm still patiently waiting for XXL, Hip Hop DX, and FADER, etc... to respectfully acknowledge a brutha. I know my time will come. I just hope I'm still alive to see it. This album is Free. Its YOURS, cuz I made it for YOU. So take it, and share it with a friend. This is the second installment of my heart. Third album is in the works, so enjoy this one till I drop the next one this summer. TIIIIIGER UPPERCUT!!! DOWNLOAD "THE IAMBIC MOMENT" HERE
