Calibre Justice


By now, you all know that hip hop group, fratpack, recently dropped a newish offering called frwednesday Mixtape. If you don't and you're keen on hearing it then download it HERE. Now, back to today's post. It brings The Ordinary Girl great pleasure to give you a first look at the Calibre Justice video. Over a Justice beat, Mr Calibre goes in about his vices (Coca Cola) and his pet-peeves (pretty boys rappers, teehee) and more. The joint is taken off frwednesday Mixtape and the video was shot a hop and skip away from where Mr Calibre and his crew hang out and skate on Funisu boards by me.


As someone who has known the brothers, me and Mr Calibre, since the days when the latter used to insist people say his whole alias (Mr Mr Calibre The Boy With Infinite Skill), I must say it's been quite something to watch him grow and come into his own like this. And as a rap fan, I'd have to say it's even nicer to hear him spitting about, amongst other things, not caring whether you know any of the names he mentions in the verse. The point is, you don't have to worry about that - you'll know in due time and inspite of your resistance. The visuals are brought to life by the producing and rapping half of fratpack, me. No, Dude, I'm not getting you a director's chair just yet. Doesn't it look like it was fun at this sausage party? I'm kidding, I'm kidding, fratpack loves the ladies. Peep the Calibre Justice video below:

The frwednesday Mixtape


Just a reminder that the frwednesday Mixtape by the brothers known as fratpack is now available for free download OVER HERE. How cool is that picture of Mr Calibre? About as cool as him beasting on Calibre Justice which is also off the frwednesday mixtape. The producer and rapper half of fratpack, me, actually took that shot. Mr Calibre and me dropped this musical offering to hold you hip hop lovers over until the Famlove EP drops. And when's that? When they decide to give it to you. Ha! For now, enjoy the frwednesdays Mixtape.

FRWEDNESDAY MIXTAPE


Happy Hump Day! If you've been reading theblagg or following fratpack (@fratpackmusic) then you already know what frwednesday is all about. If not then do not pass go, do not collect 200 and get the heck off the internet. I'm just kidding. Come back, come back. Now, you all know the hip hop group called fratpack (one word, all lower case), right? For every Wednesday of the past couple of months, they would release a song for their fam. Called frwednesdays, the songs were mostly the two brothers rapping on beats that me far-outed. So it's only fitting that me and Mr Calibre drop a compilation of those joints and a few new ones on a Wednesday. Yep, TODAY. The frwednesday Mixtape is available for free download over HERE and in addition to features by the likes of BIG FKN GUN and Reason as well as far-outing my favourite Zaki Ibrahim song, the mixtape is packed full of surprises. The frwednesday mixtape is the final offering before fratpack's famlove EP is released in the final quarter of this year. Tell all your frwednes! Here's the tracklist:

"Do You Wanna Ride In My Old School A3...?"



This has got to be one of the catchiest hooks The Ordinary Girl has heard all year. New joint from fratpack is called Walk and Ride. Mr Calibre is first and me is last on this Chuck Inglish beat. Listen:

A fratpackular weekend



Those Vaal Triangle boys, me and Mr Calibre, will perform at Club Illusions (in the V) on Saturday night. As you can see on the flyer, young Kiernan will also do his thing. Interestingly - yes, I just said that - fratpack put their own spin on AKA's hit, All I Know and called in Plan B. The pseudo-vocoder is really funny (sorry, Dude) but the message is dope. Listen to it here:

This Weekend



So in The Ordinary Girl's part of the world, this weekend is Rocking The Daisies. Sigh. I won't go into the reason behind the sigh. However, if you're up in Joburg tomorrow then check me and Mr Calibre out at Throwdown at OST in Newtown. On the decks will be Da Buddist and Soulo Starr. Doors open at 8pm and R50 gets you in.
This is my favourite fratpack track. Oldie but goodie. Enjoy.

Her Room Memix



A certain Mr me of fratpack decided there was a bit more room on the Marvin's Room Remix wagon. And we're chuffed that he thought that. The rapping and producing half of fratpack took a particular liking to Her Room, Teyana's remix of Drake's Marvin's Room. Or maybe this was me's way of trying to live out his dream of being the guy who smashed Teyana and broke her heart - but don't tell him I said that. me plays the ex-man who didn't know what he had til he lost it and won't stop calling ol' girl. What do you think of this memix?

1ne meMix

This is a still of the actual 1ne video and was found over at This Is Lavie

The boy called me of fratpack has just dropped a remix - or memix to you - of Tiron's popular 1ne track. Tiron is the guy we told you about HERE and you can still download his tapes if you haven't heard him yet.

This particular version of 1ne was put on the interwebs by the producing half of fratpack, while we wait for the duo's upcoming mixtape called Not In The Mix Tape. More memixes will be uploaded each Wednesday as part of their Frwednesdays (read fratpack + Wednesdays = friend's days) to help you get over these music hump days.

So about this memix, don't you just love the violins? What's that? You haven't heard it yet? Well then here you go. Don't ever say theblagg doesn't love you.

Pledge Your Allegiance


This is not a Broke Phi Broke frat. This is not a cheesy intro. Ahem. This is fratpack all lowercase!) and their take on The Kills' Sour Cherry. Made up of three Vaal Triangle dudes: me, Mr Mr Calibre The Boy With Infinite Skill as well as Hytone (not pictured) the crew has been doing their thing for a bit now. You might have heard of their Far Out Mixtape - or not.

But theblagg is going to make sure you hear their second, as yet untitled, mixtape which is going to hit a site near you on May 27. For now though, enjoy Sour Cherry.

Oh and let us know what you think.
