Memoryhouse | Yours Truly

5 Days of Fred

Fuck shark week. If you want something with real bite, fuck with Freddie Gibbs. Yours Truly did and we've got a whole week's worth of features on the Gary gangster to celebrate the release of his debut ep, Str8 Killa No Filla.

Freddie Gibbs - Born 2 Roll

Part of what makes Freddie Gibbs so special is his unique ability to uproot the listener and drop them right into his reality. To force your eyes open wider, even when what's out there makes you squirm. In this revealing mini-documentary, Freddie takes YT back to the decayed avenues of Gary, to the time when he chose crime over a 9-5 and up to his re-birth, as a man with a purpose, to rap his way out of Gary for good.

Watch
Dam Funk

Those last few moments before an artist takes the stage are sacred. Some meditate, others pray, Dam-Funk and Master Blazter remember that they came for blood, they ain't fucking around and they came to do a job.

Watch
Here We Go Magic

Despite the rain, and the slippery grip of humidity, Here We Go Magic graciously played through an arresting rendition of "Casual" for YT & Pitchfork.tv.

Watch
Maps & Atlases

What do four indie rockers from Chicago have in common with a gang of Hunter's Point 12-year-olds? Yours Truly. Watch, rub your eyes, then re-watch as Maps & Atlases and the 8th grade drum-corps of the Willie Brown Academy team-up and rock out to "The Charm."

Watch
Vetiver & Fruit Bats

Watch the leading men behind two of YT's most beloved bands (Vetiver and Fruit Bats) pair up to do justice and then some to the Bobby Charles' classic, "I Must Be in a good place now"
