Happy 4:20! J. Brookinz x Grey Granite present Gateway 2!
Happy 4:20! J. Brookinz reunites with fellow Heavy Gun co-founder Grey Granite for the highly anticipated sequel Gateway 2!:
J. Brookinz x Grey Granite present Gateway 2 by Heavy Gun 2011
On the follow up to his acclaimed album The Gateway Drug: THC, his highness J. Brookinz comes correct with a crew of 28 collaborators and the producer’s take on psy rock. Bringing his typical partner-in-crime Grey Granite into the mix this time around, the duo put together an ensemble cast composed of some of the dopest lyricists in Indianapolis. The project’s incredible collaborative feel came from a 48 hour studio session in which Brookinz and Grey recorded with 20+ musicians. The epic studio lock-in was facilitated by indie rock band The Kemps and the use of their practice space Helter Shelter. This is the perfect album to jam over the upcoming 4:20 holiday, and if you live in Indianapolis, come check out the release party on April 20th at Rock Lobster in Broad Ripple!
Ok ok, it’s a few days late, but what else do you expect from an album dedicated to getting high!

J. Brookinz - Future Ninja ft Oreo Jones, Flaco, Grey Granite, Lisa Berlin, and Young Carolyn
Grey Granite and J. Brookinz continue to prove that Gateway 2 is going to be an all-city affair on the second single “Future Ninjas” featuring Oreo Jones, Flaco, Lisa Berlin, and Young Carolyn:
J. Brookinz - Future Ninja ft Oreo Jones, Flaco, Grey Granite, Lisa Berlin, and Young Carolyn by Heavy Gun 2011
After a 48 hour studio lock-in, J. Brookinz and Grey Granite have wrapped the recording phase of Gateway 2! In celebration of their smoking accomplishment, the Heavy Gunners are linking up with Indy Mojo to exclusively release the second single via the Indianapolis social networking site. “Future Ninja” picks up where “Stuck” ended with spaced out guitars in Brookinz’s production, a stellar hook from Lisa Berlin of Jookabox, a fly bridge from Young Carolyn, and slick verses from Grey, Oreo Jones, and Flaco. With 20+ artists recorded during the lock-in and 28 artists on the final project, Indianapolis needs to get prepared as if it were 4:19 for one of the most collaborative albums in the city’s musical history! Oh, and we have to send a HUUUUUUUGE shout out to the Kemps for letting us takeover their studio Helter Shelter for the weekend!

In that spirit, for his upcoming Oreo Jones and Friends EP, Oreo has joined forces with X103, Butler Scion, My Old Kentucky Blog, and Heavy Gun Recordings to assist VH1’s Save The Music.

The EP will be released on Thursday, January 13th for free, with listeners being encouraged to donate whatever possible to Save the Music via Heavy Gun’s Bandcamp.

Happy (Belated) New Year from Heavy Gun
Heavy Gun kicks of 2011 with new music from Oreo Jones & Sinclair Wheeler, alpha.live & J. Brookinz, and Andy D. & Grey Granite!:
2010 saw Heavy Gun grow and mature from a group of like minded musicians into a full fledged label and movement within the Midwest hip-hop community and culminated with Heavy Gun being honored by Nuvo Newsweekly. As a means of saying “thank you” to all of the fans, blogs, djs, and anyone that supported Heavy Gun in 2010, we give you this taste of what we have in store for you in 2011. This sampler includes a Oreo Jones’s and Sinclair Wheeler’s remix of “Blame Game” by Kanye West, alpha.live rocking a J. Brookinz production, and a remix of Grey Granite’s “Not A Robot” featuring Andy D. With your help, Heavy Gun is set to make 2011 bigger and brighter than 2010!
Oreo Jones + Sinclair Wheeler - Blame Game by HeavyGunRecs
Oreo Jones made a ton of noise in 2010, and he’s not about to stop in 2011. On January 13th, Oreo is going to release his collaborative indie rock EP Oreo Jones & Friends featuring Jookabox, Woodhands, Ko of Slothpop, BLKNHBD, We Are Hex, Laura Balke, Grey Granite, J. Brookinz. DJ Metrognome, and Fair Fjola, which is a benefit project for VH1’s Save The Music between X103, Butler Scion, My Old Kentucky Blog, and Heavy Gun Recordings. If you’re in Indianapolis, make sure you check out the free release show @ Local’s Only that night! Also, Oreo is set to drop his follow up to the Delicious EP with producer 90lbs titled Super Model Death Dive sometime early this spring.
alpha.live - The Come Up (Prod. J.Brookinz) by HeavyGunRecs
J. Brookinz, the highest man alive, had an extremely uplifting year with the success of his album The Gateway Drug: THC. 2011 will find the smokin’ producer rolling up the sequel to The Gateway Drug, as well as producing an EP for one of Indy’s dopest emcees alpha.live. We’ve always considered alpha a member of the HG family; it just took the right set of circumstances to get him to wrap a project for us. 6 Shot is a 6 track of alpha getting live on J. Brookinz beats and will serve as the precursor to his album Soul Cinematic 1.5.
Grey Granite - Not A Robot Remix Ft. Andy D. by HeavyGunRecs
One of the founders of Heavy Gun, Grey Granite will continue his steady output of music from 2010. Grey’s first new project of 2011 will be the release of a deluxe edition of Pixelated Lazer Face Bass Monster featuring a new original and remixes from Aaron Hogan, Andy D, Cool Hand Lex, Dave Wrangler, Infuze, J. Brookinz, Twenty-five Lighters, and Sonkin. Watch for that to hit digital and Indianapolis music retailers in late February. Additionally, Grey is completing work on a more traditional hip-hop release with DJ Metrognome featuring exclusive J. Brookinz production that should be dropping sometime before summer.

Grey Granite presents “Not A Robot - A Perfect Date” starring Action Jackson
Grey Granite brings his vision for “Not A Robot” to life in his new music video starring Action Jackon:
Rumors have been floating for months of a hilarious video for Grey Granite’s single “Not A Robot” starring Action Jackson; well, here it is. The conception of “Not A Robot” stems from a video about life size dolls Grey saw. The video is an exploration of what it would be like to “date” a doll. From that idea and the acting of Action Jackson, the hilarity ensued. As we disclaimed in the video, we promise that Action isn’t as creepy as he’s portrayed in the video.

Grey Granite - Get Grimey ft. Jam P. Astro by HeavyGunRecs
Grey Granite and El Carnicero have had a busy summer getting the world ready for Pixelated Lazer Face Bass Monster, and the summer isn’t over yet. Their third single “Get Grimey” is a glorification of unhealthy living laid down over one of the Butcher’s classic grime beats. Just as “Turn It On” featured fellow Heavy Gunner Oreo Jones, “Get Grimey” features Jam P. Astro, one half of the NightRiders. At this pace, Pixelated Lazer Face Bass Monster is set to be one the biggest heavy bass/hip-hop collaborations of the fall. “Turn It On” has been featured on MOKB, Noise Porn, Mostly Junk Food, and Rock the Dub.

Grey Granite & Oreo Jones - Turn It On (Prod. by El Carnicero)
Grey Granite and El Carnicero’s journey to Pixelated Lazer Face Bass Monster continues with second single “Turn It On” featuring Oreo Jones:
Grey Granite - Turn It On ft. Oreo Jones by HeavyGun
Picking up where “Not A Robot” left off, Grey Granite and El Carnicero roll out their second singe from Pixelated Lazer Face Bass Monster “Turn It On” featuring Heavy Gunner Oreo Jones. “Turn It On” is a pure party jam with a bouncy beat and psychedelic synths that compels the listener to have a good time and dance. Both Grey and Oreo bring their spit game on this one. Grey is at home rhyming about his love of High Life, women and parties. And Oreo doesn’t care because he “ain’t got no underwear.” Pixelated Lazer Face Bass Monster is coming this summer!

Grey Granite & El Carnicero Drop the Lead Single from Pixelated Lazer Face Bass Monster!
“Not A Robot” by Grey Granite & El Carnicero drops today as the lead single off of Pixelated Lazer Face Bass Monster:
Pixelated Lazer Face Bass Monster, the new creation from Grey Granite and El Carnicero, is nearly ready to descend upon subwoffers and dancefloors around the globe! To help get the world ready, Grey and the Butcher are unleashing the first single “Not A Robot” as a free download for everyone to jam on the first day of summer! “Not A Robot”, like the rest of the project, blends the creative lyrical stylings of Mr. Granite and the bass-heavy hits of El Carnicero to create an undeniably infectious banger. Get ready—the Pixelated Lazer Face Bass Monster will be terrorizing your stereo very soon!
Over the past couple of years, Grey Granite has consistently distinguished himself from other vocalists by perpetually reinventing his style and jumping on anything that catches his interest. Starting with his legendary Amplifies the Killers project to his recent immaculate album Lust Poisons Pride, Grey has been one of the few artists in the Midwest to successfully go left and follow his sonic dreams. His creativity has recently garnered the support of Kick Kick Snare, Ruby Hornet, Loyal KNG, Noise Porn, Nuvo, and Musical Family Tree and several other media outlets. Now with his partner J. Brookinz, the duo have launched Heavy Gun Recordings and are beginning next portion f their journey.
The man behind the crazy production on PLFBM is the one an only El Carnicero. El Carnicero aka the Butcher aka Aaron Berg has been solidifying his name as master of heavy bass for the past several years. In the mid 2000s as grime was making it’s way across the Atlantic to the States, El Carnicero teamed up with Philly based producers Starkey and Dev79 to form the now infamous Slit Jockey Records. In the past, the Butcher has produced tracks for Doodlebug of Digable Planets, Warrior Queen, and RikoDan of the Roll Deep Crew. Beyond his recent work with Grey, Aaron is currently working on a new project with New York rapper Elucid entitled CapricornOne.
