My Weapon

I'll be posting some pics as time rolls on. Just thought I would show you what I'm using to shoot. I also have to mention that Adobe Lightroom is my sidekick. I'm not a pro but this program saves me from deleting a lot of pics.

More to come soon. As for Lenses, I'm rockin' a 18mm-200mm Canon EFS and a 50mm Canon prime.

Canon T2i - one of the best purchases I have ever made in my life.

More to come.

Get to know this beast.

Ronald Jankees... Look this guy up!

I've been watching this guy's videos for a couple years now and this man has crazy keyboard skills and imagination. If you like keyboard tracks, you won't be disappointed.

Here are a few of my favourites:

Say it ain't so! Jay-Z and Beyoncé on the ROCs?!?!?! Word?

According to Sohh.com (my ultimate resource for hip-hop news), Jay and B might be in some trouble.

WHAT? (Click here) 

Need some colour?

Ya I said "colour" not "color."

Anyways, if you're looking for some inspiration in your designs, paintings, etc. Check out Kuler by Adobe Inc. This site is a really good resource for developing a colour scheme. You can search using key words and an endless amount of suggestions are presented. What's more, you can export your colour scheme and import the file into various Adobe software programs, such as Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, etc.

A lil' flavour for yo' design!

Freestylin' Em and Proof

Random YouTube Find... KayKay - Talented Producer

So I'm all about beats right now and I'm always searching the web for basement beatheads and producers for inspiration and just to see what kind of gear / setup everyone else is rockin'. I stumbled across this beautiful but killah beat-makin' goddess named KayKay.

I don't know much about her but I'm feelin' the tunes that she's bumpin'.

Here's KayKay's channel - http://www.youtube.com/user/KayKayONTHEBEATZ

Check her out... and she's fiiiiiiiiiine!

Tribute: Dilla

I found this wicked indie producer on soundcloud.com by the name of Ta-Ku...


Had to post this tribute album. It is pure fire!

TRIBUTE: DILLA

Remembering J Dilla


"Still Shining Project" - J Dilla Tribute



A video featuring family and friends during and after J Dilla's funeral. As the anniversary of his passing approaches, take a moment to enjoy and feel one of his many many classics. 


Bilal said something in this video that stood out to me... "If you want to be the best. You gotto be the best all of the time. Never let a moment pass when you're not doing your best."


Believe that!
