This footage is ill. We dropped by the U-N-I album release and got some good stuff but this beats it... It's got a great atmosphere, very nice lighting, cool sound in not so easy to shoot conditions, and to top it all Kendrick Lamar & J Cole at their finest.. Take notes people.
A lil performance from the official release party of "In Search of Stoney Jackson"by Strong Arm Steady at The Roxy. Here featuring Krondon & Thurzday from U-N-I. We have footage coming up from the release party at Fat Beast so stay tuned.. Strong Arm Steady!
El Prez went all out and performed "Phantom of the Opera" with a full band during last Tuesday's "Leaders of the New Cool" at Echoplex in Los Angeles. Filmed by Cary and M Boogie.
It's been a while since we uploaded some new webisodes. There's a few more coming up down the line. This is kinda special... it's the first EVA interview we shot. Shout out to everyone who helped us. Intuition is dropping his new album "Girls Like Me" in a week, his album release party is on Wednesday at Low End Theory. GO! We were told at last Spliff that VerBS & Intuition were making new material for their fruitful collab. You can always check them out here for VerBS and here for Intuition. Go download The Buzz, one of the best projects to come out of 2009.

This last video is slightly on the experimental side, last of the Haiti Benefit concert series with a lil recap of some of the other artists featured. See if you can spot them. Thanks to Bra$$Pix for her photos. Enjoy!
Diz Gibran's opening performance for the Haiti benefit concert organized last Sunday by Devi Dev and the LAX Paper Boyz at the Echoplex. I thought it was very befitting.
A little interlude before we get the Swiff D part 2 ep up. A classic... Already been covered a dozen times on the Internet, but I couldn't miss it. Skeme's last performance at THe Spliff.
VerBS & Intuition rocked The Spliff. I have tons of stuff of them coming up, namely a webisode. Don't ask me why it hasn't been out yet. Maybe cause it was the first interview ever that we did and yall gonna laugh at us. Thanks to The Takeover blog that provided me with the name of the song. It's sweet and short & worth checking out.
Had the privilege of shooting these guys last week for their tour flyer. Fun times. Do yourselves a favor, support your local artists and get some good music while you're at it. See you there!
2009 has been an amazing year, musically speaking. So many great discoveries. From Pac Div (I know I'm super tardy) to Diz Gibran to the gentlemen above, LA has won my heart all over again. A few weeks ago I had the distinct pleasure to witness what I'm going to call history in the making. While I had been hearing the name "El Prez" for a while, I was still unfamiliar with his music. I was put onto some serious game when M Boogie invited me to shoot a quick show rehearsal of his a few Friday's ago.
The rehearsal space was cramped. Instruments and equipment were strewn all over the place, yet with the help of DJ Printz Paul, DNez and Chris Focus, El Prez still put on a helluva show. Needless to say I'm now a fan. You can check out more flicks from the rehearsal here. Animal Style coming soon.
