KANYE X NABIL

kanye 1

We all know how passionate this man is about expressing himself. “GLOW IN THE DARK”, based on his sold out tour of the same name seems no different. Photographer Nabil Elderkin is rather dope I’d say. So, Chapters here I come…. to look that is! :D

This concept seems well thought out. I’m curious to see the finished product, directed by Jake Davis. Glad they decided to shot it in The Dot too.

Left Fielder….

pharrell-pop-art

I wanna salute Producer/Songwriter/Clothing Designer/Entrepreneur Pharrell Williams. He’s such a creative, passionate cat! I’ve been a huge fan for years. He’s 1 half of the crazy Production team The Neptunes … At this point it’s about who they HAVEN’T worked with! (Shout outs to Chad Hugo, I believe he’s the glue that keeps all things musical together).  They also make up the Rock/HipHop Band N.E.R.D. along with long time friend Shay. But I really connect to Sk8board P cause he’s so brave in the studio. Never afraid to try anything different as long as he thinks it’s hot (Grindin’). Intelligent when he writes (Run To The Sun). Forward thinking (BBC Clothing /Ice Cream). And the belief in all his ideas good or bad. So… Thanks for the motivation my dude. STAAAAR Trak Riderzzzz!

BEFORE

Classic Pharrell footage. The making of “Midnight Hour” from scratch. (that’s Chad Hugo on guitar)

Note: Natasha Ramos is the bored singer in the white shirt. :D 

AFTER

“Midnight Hour” Completed! Written by Pharrell, Prod. by The Neptunes

Note: Take in his detailed writing style!

Grindin’ - Clipse

One of the hardest Hip-Hop trax ever!

Note: How famous is that drum pattern?! Craaaazy!

Run To The Sun – N.E.R.D.

Lyrics for days!

I Still Love You – 702

I call this raw, uncut love!
