At first I was kinda bummed when my good friend and creative college Choz1n decided to move to Los Angeles, CA. Of coarse I wasn't bummed for him I knew he would find his lane and audience out there. But we had so many plans to do some sweet projects together.
For those who don't know who Choz1n is... your missing out. He is a very talented hip hop producer I met while working with LxE for the Uncool (now K.I.N.G. V∆d△) while shooting his music videos FLOWƏRS, you can see him here in the video. He also produced the beat for our most successful videos LxE for the uncool "BORDƏƋUX VIIs." Choz1n released an LP right before he left with a very cool song at the end entitled "Paw Paw." A lot of people really liked that song including me. We encouraged him to make some more songs that sounded like this. And he did!
He is about to release a full EP that features his eclectic beats and surreal voice with collaborations from some awesome MC's. Including long time friends of Arris K.I.N.G. V∆d△, does this mean the uncool (but really the coolest) rapper will show up in another DD// video? ........maybe.... I'm not telling yet.
So what am I yammering about?
MORE MUSIC VIDEOS!
Choz1n decided to fly yours truly out to the "city of angels" to make a series of music videos to complement his new release. The goal; to make as many videos for the songs on the EP, hopefully all of them. That also means we cant sacrifice quality. Luckily when Choz1n, Ronnell (who will be assisting while still in Ohio), and I get together the creative force is something to behold. Some videos may be cut while were shooting some have to wait. But all we know is we plan on having lots of fun.
This is something Choz1n and I have talked about for a while. Now we are in full production force starting tomorrow when I touch down.... like literally... we start shooting right off the plane. So wish us luck because we want to give you guys something you will really like.
That doesn't mean that we forgot about all the videos in the wings though.
KeilyN's "Dope Boy" is well on its way to being done. Expect that early next year.
Blueprints "Just Move" is, well.... done. We are just waiting on that release.
Cynical Existence "I'm Broken" is in David S. Foulk's editing hands and should be ready for VFX's soon.
Joanna Lynn's "Loosing My Mind" is being cleaned up and animated by our newest, most mysterious member Keenan Mitchell.
Huntor Prey's "This Way" is all done and about to release so expect that soon.
So stay tuned for updates on our new releases and more news. We also have some cool write ups coming from Arris Writer Chelsea Anders and as always some cool pics coming from Angela Makeever. Who by the way, contributed to the cinematography of Jim Leo's "Dark Fate." That means Angela has made her Director of Photography debut, congrats Angela.
Sincerely,
