Clever Best Leaks Rough Cut of Boredomville Intro

What up Boredist, it’s been a hot minute since me and Boredom have had the chance to really update this since we’ve been on a steady grind mode. But we aint forget about yall.. With that being said,
EB’s Jersey native, Clever Best (aka myself) released a rough cut demo of the demo to his upcoming tape, Boredomville. Check it out at the bottom

“This is the demo of the intro to my first project. Being this is my intro into the music world, this first project is a collection of me rapping over beats that describe what I was brought up in and the music that inspires me to make my music. I’m paying homage to all the artist that I feel have played a role in me being the artist I am right now.. Plus its a way to let people know where I’m coming from.”

abstractElements X ElegantBoredom & Clever Best

The grind is a beautiful one. With it comes struggle, sacrifice, trial and error. But it is always over shadowed by the success, the rise and the connections you make along the way. I got the opportunity to spark up a collab serious of post with my good friend Andre (@photo_dre) and get my Clev Best on. Each entry is a spoken word/rap inspired by Dre’s graphic art and photography. Expect to the greatness to only improve. Peep it out here, and let us know what you think.

Drique London- Amelia Earhart Mixtape

The brother, Drique London has been on the same grind every since the first day we met him through Kevin Parkinson back in our Raleigh, NC days. Its easy to point out that he doesn’t plan on stopping that grind either. Cheers fam. Look out for this collabo between Mr. London, DOC Music Group and Depth of Sound.

On The Move….

As all of you Elegant Boredists have seen, Filthy is bizaack!!!!

Since he has been home we have been non-stop on the move….. No matter the weather; rain or shine, we are out the house by 10. With finals still going on, and work still working, I can say I have been absolutely positively on my grind!!!

As we step out the door, Elegant Boredom leaves you with the Question: Do you want to be part of the Movement??!

While I was over at Prohibit NYc talking it out with Chace-Infinite; I decided to get a little creative with the bow-tie I was wearing.

Bowtie Grind…

I’m heavy, heavy, heavy on my grizzle… (kid cudi voice). Just one of those days, haven’t slept in 36 hours; had to get some work done on the fly! Domo came through with the quickness, said “lets get it done at the same time”. As he works on the acting/directing/music, I get down to the fashion aspects of things.  Bowties coming to a neck near you…..

New Blog x Kanye West x Coldest Winter x Harry Potter???

Kanye West… I’ll pause and let you finish spewing out any love and/or hatred you have for him………….. Done?? Cool.

As I was saying, Kanye West- my favorite rapper. Sure, he’s fucked up enough times for you to go on a rant about him, but I could care less. He makes MUSIC, he makes ART, and he makes you listen with your EMOTIONS. Am I getting a little to deep for you all out there? Now, by no means do I want you Elegant Boredist to think that I’m saying Kanye should be the next president. But what I am saying is that you can’t deny the impact he’s had on Hip-Hop, not rap… HIP-HOP and on music in its entirety. Watch a live Kanye performance and tell me rather or not you actually feel his music and I dare you to tell me no.

But thats enough of that. The actual point of this blog is to give you the insight that he’s got a new blog that you should all check out (KanyeWest.com). And to click here to see what happens when you take Harry Potter and throw him into the coldest winter (pun intended). Music videos the way they should be done.

When Men Had Class

Hmmm.. you ask why this is posted… I ask you, “Why not?” So, just for 13 seconds- lets take away the fact that this is a vodka add… Lets just take away the vodka as a whole.. The aura thats portrayed in this ad.. from the voice of the narrator, the feeling of a pact- being established in to a league of extraordinaries.. I feel that it is all brought together and started by the essence of attire. Whenever I see these commercials- all I can think of is what Elegant Boredom is trying/going to do… The countdown has already begun and the change is slowly taking change.

Peace On My Mind

As ~fresh posted earlier, where do YOU rep from?

Just a few throwback pictures of the E.B. Team:

Elegant Boredom’s old stomping grounds; Downtown Raleigh, NC. As only one remains in the original fortress (Shaw University Dormitory), soon all three shall rule the streets again!

What Are YOU Doing?

I’m at work… And still reppin’ EB… Where do YOU rep from?

Let us know what you think…
