I’m loving this track! It’s [...]

    BEST OF 2009: Video of the Year – Christian Rich – Famous Girl

    Sure, there are still big name directors, major label budgets, and top name producers that still control the industry, but 2009 has most certainly become the year where the art of the music video has become democratized.

    Video: Phil Ade – Hollywood

    At long last, the video for Phil Ade’s Hollywood, directed by Tabi Bonney. Hollywood still gets multiple spins on my iPod this year and this video (crafted by the Tabi’s Cool Kid Forever Films) is another winner. A portion of this video was filmed over at Stussy DC.

    7 Cuts that Killed the Nouveau Riche Party (for me)

    So most of y’all know that I’ve been in full on DJ mode or the past few months. For the most part, I blame my homie Marcus, but on the other hand, I needed a reprieve from what I consider boring, formulaic music and DJ’s are my new refuge. I might be losing what little [...]
