Woke up this morning in a boxframe Cadillac with murda on my mind...

Posted by Andrew Matson

"Murda on My Mind" (above) is Gary, Indiana's Freddie Gibbs at his most gothic, rapping about street stuff he knows is messing him up psychologically. "Boxframe Cadillac" (below) is about smoking marijuana in a car, which seems to mess him up psychologically in a more positive way than the content of "Murda on My Mind."

In both flicks, the B&W treatment is right on and dramatic blunt smoke not a gimmick. Hats off to the creators. Check the attendant interview.
