Random and Mr. Miranda (aka Mirandom) release "Wednesday" music video; Rebecca Black mulls legal action

I've been slacking on ye olde weblog all year, but after five and a half months, something finally landed in my inbox that inspired me to write for free - a new video from Valley MCs Random and Mr. Miranda for the song "Wednesday" from their upcoming release The Memorandum. The song is all about slogging through a typical workweek and the sense of relief that comes with making it through "hump day."

I've written features on both of these guys for New Times, and they're two of the hardest working and most talented artists in the local hip-hop scene. I've felt for a while now that either one of these guys could be the rapper who finally puts Phoenix on the hip-hop map. Who knows? Maybe they'll accomplish that goal together. Wednesday might not be as sexy of a day as - oh, I don't know - Friday, but in the hands of Mr. Miranda and Random, it's not looking too bad at all.

Check out the video for "Wednesday" after the break. The song was co-produced by Random and EOM and the video was directed by Spicy Fud.
