What's good ya'll? It's definitely been a while but none the less there has been work done. We've started releasing new music this year little by little that started creating a reaction from the people. The first was a track entitled "Our Turn" that featured good friend of mine "Day" who has a video releasing this weekend. The song was such an inspirational beauty if you ask me. Please take some time and let a great behind the scenes soak to see how we all got down in the studio to make this magic happened. Then after, check the link that follows to hear how the record came out:

Once this record released, another good friend of mine "M. Island" got together for our long awaited collaborative effort "We Here" that didn't just feature "Day" from the last record mentioned but also "Tess" who I've posted songs and videos of in the past who we will touch on again in this particular blog. Just as before, check out the behind the scenes of that record as well who if I may add was both shot by "Azzie Direct Films" again another name we will touch on a little later in the blog:
Below check out the end product and pass it along because it's enough to shake things up for the summer:

By this point, things started cooking in a major way believe it or not which lead to us going on location to film 2 official music videos in one month. The first was for our song "Crystal Ax" that can be found on our Bugnanas LP shot and directed by "Azzie Direct Films" and what a director is he!!!! before we touch on his wonderful skills as a director, get a feel of his work by a dope display of love he directed for our homie, Bradd Marquis's "I want be in love" from his "Authentic" album:
I tell you one can not be mad at this!!!
Back to "Crystal Ax", He was able to display such an in your face video that was so "EXPLOSIVE" to say the least!!! In his words nothing less than "Organized Chaos" I also can't forget the added art direction from Photographer,"Katie Piper" who definitely a part of the team to make this reality even more real. Two weeks we linked up with director "J Sun" who had shot our "We Goin" video who delivered such a wonder narrative to a song of our entitled, "Cosmic Strawberries" featuring "Tess" that described the struggle us artists go through to create the music we do and present to you all. It's certainly not a joyride though through pain, still provides a wisdom and joy in the end. In the grand scheme these two videos closed out our Bugnanas album for now while we are back in the lab creating the new Bugnanas coming soon this year.
Can't end all this work without a celebration!!! Once both videos were edited we decided to present both videos to the world exclusively as a "Double Video Screening." We figured no one has ever done something to that extent so we wanted to take the envelope there. Check out the celebration for yourselves...Provided by "Hello Young Entertainment":
Two days after this wonderful screening, we debuted "Crystal Ax" and it looked a little something like this:
What do you think? Also, we could not have had the colors in that video popping and so intensely vivid without one of the top colorist in the game, "Eric Alvarado" Who also colored "Tess' Feenin' video below. Check his reel:
Did you see any familiar faces? In order to compete at times you need the best. So while "Crystal Ax" is doing what it has to do, A month later we released "Cosmic Strawberries" and looked sort of like this:
Beautiful isn't it? I am not even trying to be biased or anything but its just real. At least to me and those that have been following...Looks like we been going in and we don't plan on stopping either because the response has been really positive!!! The people are watching and we want them to continue!!!
Then to just keep it team oriented, a week later "Tess" released her last video for her "Tess goes Jodeci" project entitled, "Feenin" directed by Salvador my personal favorite. Check out the sexy cut with such emotional scenes that is so worth the appreciation:
Crazy right? she also had a celebration for that was pretty fly:
See...What else can be said the team gets busy and there is only more to come. Our Peoples "Jus Cuz" has a new video on the way, "Hold Up" directed by "Azzie Direct Films" that could only shake things up a bit. Hey every now and again we need a little shake to put us in perspective again!!! Stay tuned...
