Live @ at the Black Bear in Brooklyn, NY
A couple of weeks ago I stopped by the Black Bear bar and lounge for the Biggie Tribute show with one of my favorite artist right now, MoRuf. The house band for the night was Tiger Speak, really dope musicians. I had the opportunity to touch the stage and crack the mic one time! S/o out to Chaka Davis on the footage and the edits.

"Don't Leave The Light On"
"Don't Leave the Light On" is my take on the classic Wyclef record Gone Till November. With these visuals I wanted to show the parallels through my travels as a depiction of the motions our relationships go through. The staging some relationships arrive at where you become uncertain & unsure of each other. The sad reality however, is that sometimes we are waiting in vain. Waiting for that person to return, to decide, to commit to us. Love at times is elastic & "perfect timing' is not mutual exclusive to it. Believe in love & its possibilities but don't place yourself on hold for it.. Leaving the light on is a choice. Thank you to my partner & brother in rhyme Sammy Nichs. You continue to speak through the chords & baselines. Thank you to Shaunte Glover for appreciating me & the music enough to work with me. You are amazingly gifted & I look forward to witnessing your growth. #MaybeItsLove #Peace

Writing For My Life
Writing For My Life is the lead off single for my album Jeary For Dolo. It was filmed in Scottsdale, Arizona at the world famous High Point Shoes. Directed by Jon Colombia for Sound Vision Films. This being the first set of visuals released from the album "Jeary For Dolo"
I connected with Jon through some mutual relationships that we shared & I had appreciated his latter work. We linked up & I told him my overall vision for this record, but I don't like to shadow anyone's creative direction when I work with them & I wanted his input & vision based off the record & how he felt as well.
Idea for the video came about like this: High Point Shoes is on of the premier urban shops in Arizona & one of my most favorites to visit. "Writing for my life/cause I'm scared of a day job" I wanted that to be the premise of the video, how I wanted to be somewhere else & that I knew I was meant for more. Plus nothing represents the Hip-Hop culture better than the sneaker culture & the whole thing just came together!
Enjoy!
