Salute The Underdog…

Sunday, February 5th, 2012

Just before the Knicks season totally hits the skids Coach Mike D’Antoni reached out one last desperate time.

You know dude was desperate since he was tabbing the end of the bench for the undrafted Ivy league point guard Jeremy Lin.

Lin usually makes his appearances when the games are pretty much already in the loss column for the Knicks, but not lastnite… Instead he carried the Knicks above the threshold of absolute mediocrity the Nets are mired in. With his points, assists and rebounds Lin might just have put himself in the starting line up?

Ha!

Esso – ‘Son Of SAMO’ EP

Sunday, February 5th, 2012

ESSO – ‘Son Of SAMO’ EP (download here)

Esso has been on my radar for several years but we never connected because I didn’t really fux with him musically. His music isn’t bad but I just didn’t have a place for him in my rotation of artists.

I’ve been waiting for a chance to work with him on a project and I think the perfect storm just came over the horizon. Esso’s latest project is a tribute to the artistic supernova called Jean-Michel Basquiat. SAMO was Basquiat’s graff alter-ego. I love the way Esso captured this footage from Basquiat’s movie and interviews to form his EP intro.

After listening to the EP several times I chose this song ‘Death Do Us’ to create some visuals to. People SEE music now before they hear it so I think a YouTube video of the highest caliber will be a great look for an artist on the verge of putting it on.

The song is about aspirations and recognizing your humble and struggle beginnings. The video I shot today is my first real music video. This joint will be my Hype Williams’ debut.

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Saturday, February 4th, 2012

The good people at Foot Locker are calling February the #HottestMonthEver. To celebrate this Foot Locker got the Knicks to loan them some time on the hallowed hardwood of Madison Square Garden for the bloggerati to shoot a few hoops..

The same floor where Larry ‘Granmama’ Johnson made an impossible four(4) point play. The same floor that John Starks dunked on Michael Jordan and the whole Bulls team. The same floor where Willis Reed earned his ‘chip.

The whole point was to test drive some of the models available at the premiere footwear dealership. LeBron 9s, Kobe 7 Supremes, Rose adiZero 2s were just some of the shoes you could test drive on your way to the hoop.

After the scrimmage Foot Locker treated us to preview all the styles that are dropping in the month of February.

In the most wintry of months you can see that Foot Locker will be bringing the HEAT.

If you love beautiful Blackness then please get fresh and come to the museum on eastern Parkway and Washington Avenue. Bring your family.
