I’m a sucka for videos. I got an email from the great folks at Sweetbreads Creative Collective about DaVinci’s new video What You Finna Do. I think shooting video or stills in black & white is tricky, but done right can come off very raw & artistic. Shooting What You Finna Do in black & white really drives the story-telling lyrics from DaVinci home. Also check out DaVinci’s Hustler’s Theme below. DaVinci’s new album, The Day The Turf Stood Still, will be available March 9, 2010. Check Sweetbreads Creative Collective for more details. BIG thanks Al for the heads up.

A while back I connected with Adikt1 and with Kahlee & Uptown Swuite they put out The Seed. These cats stay busy. Kahlee hit me with this dope video, Live On Stage by Krazy Race (ft. Kahlee). Live On Stage has a classic hip hop style to it, so I was feeling it right away. I was digging the graff walls in the background, and hip hop heads rocking to a dope beat. Check out Chronicles of a Krazy Race at CD Baby.com. BIG thanks Kahlee for the heads up.
