Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
If you’ve slept on Mr.J Medeiros, it’s time to wake up and go grab a late pass. After cutting his teeth in the Procussions, the MC has emerged as a gallant talent in his own right.
He first grabbed our attention a few years ago with the touching and superb “Constance,” which centers on a haunting sample of Eva Cassidy’s take on Sting’s “Fields of Gold,” from Of Gods and Girls, his solo debut.
The L.A.-by-way-of-Colorado Springs transplant continues to grind — and impress. Speaking of sleeping (thanks for keeping us honest, Kid Hum): Check out his latest video, released this past summer, evidently, but which we just stumbled across, “Holding On” from Friends Enemies Apples Apples.
The clip, directed by Albert King and featuring the photography of ReZ from the Procussions, is well shot and the premise — which, conceptually, at least, sort of vaguely recalls Dylan’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues” — is intriguing, even if it does become a bit tedious by the end.
