Breez Evahflowin – I Know [MUSIC VIDEO]

June 18, 2010  |  Film/Video, Music, Visual Art  |  No Comments

Here is an old friend and a great MC with a smart video. The record was put out last year , please go and support  Breez Deez Treez . Noordeman was the producer of the film. The filmmaker  printed 100 frames of video at a time so he could carry the printouts around with him, sketching the individual frames in pencil whenever he had a chance. Noordeman then transitioned to to brush-painted animation, while his partner Christie Wright conceived of an animated ink-drawn line to tie the different elements together. The result is a mix of live-action and hand-drawn. Which came out real cool … check it out for your-self

April 26, 2010  |  Film/Video, Music  |  No Comments

” Now ” what I’m presenting today is a new M.I.A music video  Born Free, (it is not for weak  stomach).

Romain Gavras is a French director , have created short piece like  Jus†ice, Stress… he is a new filmmaker that have the buzz.  His style is violent with powerful images and gruesome content. If you are a fan of Schindler’s List you are going to like this short. It’s a  brilliant piece of work.

Little Brother – “Curtain Call”

April 21, 2010  |  Film/Video, Music  |  No Comments

What more can I say about this…. I am in my late 30′s so the feel for hip-hop have change for me. It’s not as fresh and new as much. I have  taken a more complex and mature  position around hip-hop music. So to find music that meets some of me needs has become a test. To have groups like Little Brother call it quits, further the struggle…

Little Brother you will be miss….

Restlove…

I saw this film over at the Marc Ecko blog. Now this is for all my design and marketing heads especially, but overall a great piece of work. For me this is like some crazy design dream come to life.. maybe after one of those nights of late night drinking or a pint of Hagen Dazs. One question why is Ronald McDonald the ultimate villain? more info below

Nola Darling
Step to Me

It’s been a while since I’ve heard anything from the lovely ladies of Nola D!! This colorful new video for Step to Me is a good reminder of why they are dope. These ladies are very talented behind the camera as well, so at this point I only expect greatness when it comes to their own videos. Check out the cameos in this one from their AOK fam Fresh Daily, Melo- X, and Double-O of Kids in the Hall.

Peter Hadar
Full Time Lover
Directed by Coodie and Chike Creative Control TV

Peter Hadar gets the Creative control treatment for his new dance song Full Time Lover. As always Coodie and Chike deliver amazing visual style and art direction in this video. Full time Lover is more of a dance direction for Mr. Hadar but still retains that lush soulful sound he is known for. It’s like a win on all levels on this project.

Spec Boogie
Bed Stuy
Directed by Ali Santana

If I was funkmaster flex this song would be the number one song in New York… that’s just to give you an idea of how many times I’ve played this song on Homecookin Radio and LUV Radio (I even emailed this song to a bunch of folks). The funny thing is… just last week I was thinking about how this video would look if I directed, so glad to see this song come to life with my hometown on display for the world to see.. hopefully. So put all your folks on to this song if you haven’t already.. Spread LUV it’s the Brooklyn way!

Get On Down

This is my favorite song from Dj Spinna’s Sonic Smash album featuring the AOK Collective…Get on Down gives you that straight no chaser hip hop feel… just dope beats and rhymes. The video looks crisp, on some video nerd ish the color correction and editing are really on point. I LUV how they put this beautiful woman in the video, how she’s just on her own vibe enjoying the music.. luv that!!!
