I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Mo3 Birthday party on Memorial Day. It was supposed to be an all white boat party however it rained the entire time. Hard. So we never undocked. Among many other details...

We were offered the unbelievable chance to work with Black WallSt, an amazing team of driven professionals focusing on connecting audiences with important, timely and entertaining dialogue for building entrepreneurial strength within the black community. Be sure to follow and subscribe to all of their channels. Shot in the Grand Lux Spa and Hotel in Arlington Tx. By Justin Livingston I was invited out to the Bobby Sessions listening party for the release of is debut album on Def Jam Records. It's stellar. S/O HIGH STANDARDz for the access & interview. I used to put this youngster's name on the flyer and now I see his name in big letters on the big screen. Dream BIG. He now is drinking Champaign out of a Grammy.
(Click Read More for picture gallery.) It was a surreal and somber moment on a clear Nov. night that fans, friends, and family gathered at Dallas City Hall for a candlelight vigil mourning the passing of Melvin A. Noble, otherwise know as MO3. Helicopters hung over the crowd and Dallas Gang Unit created a strong and visible perimeter for 4 city blocks, as Mo3's music played loud on the PA system from the north entrance of the building .
I shot so much this summer. Here are some cuts of a few projects.
Every year I get hired by someone in the Dub Show, this year COVID blocked my money. I have been imbedded with artist, host and promoters, this was my first year with a car exhibitor. Shout out www.digitaltrendsetters.com

While most of the world is on preemptive lockdown ... Many of us haven't fully downloaded all of the corresponding anxiety from the impending terror to come. In these beginning stages many are just loafing around an environment we call home watching the rain hit; we get this strange and ire moment of quasi comfort as we peer around our lives within the reprieve from working responsibilities and in that space I have been discovering the most aesthetical accompaniment to such times… Hip Hop. What follows is a curated bundle, part instinctual go-tos for a mood created by the 11 straight days of rain & overcast which this post was started under and the others are projects that artist have either been droppin in this quarantine period and others are in actual response to it. Regardless, a lot of great content is flowing from the city and I aim to capture as much as I can in the moment. I'll be adding to this playlist until the Apocalypse is over so check back if you are still here. Good Luck, spread love not Covid. Feel free to make ad hoc additions of your own by sharing links in the comment section. 7 Tha Great dropped his newest album Demigod on Phantom City Records, Dark Diamond was on location with Rodrick Rules to document the celebration at the private listening party held for friends, family, execs, contributors, and media. The event was hosted by FGMG and held at The Dragonfly Agency. It was attended by a huge crowd that genuinely seemed excited by what they heard.

Welcome to the 1st in a series of deep dive interviews, in which we sit down with various talent, professionals, and people of interest to dive deep under the surface of the average interview. Here on episode 001 we had the opportunity to speak with Hip Hop recording artist Rakim Al-Jabbaar. Recorded in beautiful Ponchaveli Gallery in Richardson Tx, this space is celebrating its grand opening event Art Power Respect on September 29th. Check the details here. The recent drops of both Ma$e and Killa Cam have put me in somewhat of a nostalgic state of mind. I have spent some time going back through the crates, and in that adventure I keep returning to Ma$e's Oracle. I was totally captured by it and through that experience I have come to realize how much I miss Ma$e. |
