KPL TV presents Live and Direct with Bone Thugs N Harmony. BTNH is a massive group. This visual allows us into the studio as they vibe on some new material, as well we get to see how BTNH rock the crowd with the classic hit, Notorious Thugs. Bone + Biggie. Classic material.
This session was the most intense of all of our tapings at DJ Kiilu Grand's studio last year, because Myka 9 is a certified BEAST. He's been your favorite rapper's favorite rapper since the late 80's. No matter what coast. No matter what planet. Myka 9 is one of the best MC's to ever touch a microphone. The chemistry between DJ Kiilu and Myka 9 is also something to marvel. Regardless where the beat goes, these two are forever on point. I guess this what you get when you bring two-fifths of FREESTYLE FELLOWSHIP together - HIP HOP in its purest form. Here Myka 9 performs his verse off of the single "Mike, Aaron & Eddie" from the Haiku D'Etat album, Coup de Theatre.

"Don Q presents Icons Among Us Icons Among Us: jazz in the present tense, a documentary series, looks at the Jazz music scene today. Through interviews, performance footage, and the voices of the musicians themselves, we will explore this music and the divergent influences that are shaping the world of Jazz at the beginning of the 21st Century."
After cutting the promo in January '09 with David LLama on Graphics, the bar was set high for us to create a fantastic visually stimulating 4 hour documentary series. There were three directors on the project; however, it was my common bond with Director with Michael Rivoira that made this more than a job, but an adventure I'm still living. Shout out to the whole Icons Team.

Roosevelt "Rosey" Grier, as a professional football player, was a member of the original Fearsome Foursome of the Los Angeles Rams and played in the Pro Bowl twice. This feature takes a look at the life and times of this NFL great. This aired on the NFL Network, Total Access in late October 2008.
This feature aired on Game Day Morning, NFL Network, October 12, 2008. Gil Knight, was the Producer, and, the reason I work at the Network. So, I had to bring my A game. A guy name Jim, from Santa Barbara, DP'ed (shot) it. Jim's camera instincts, angles and motion were excellent. In retrospect, editing this feature felt like jazz...the timing, the characters, the team dynamics. It was a joy - like the Fellowship!
Dance Behind the Moves is a show about dancers and choreographers behind music videos, live concerts or even broadway musicals... Check out our myspace for more information: http://www.myspace.co...
This is one of my favorite projects. I was given the video and some crazy singing and sound effect, and here you have it - a theme song (Produced by D Ruff) that won't get out your head.

CELEBRATION OF DEZ'S "DO THE DEW" It was a night of celebration in Houston as friends and fans alike came out to celebrate with Dez. As the guests entered the gallery they viewed Dez's initial sketch that inspired his "Do the Dew" bottle design. This was one of many pieces of artwork Dez surprised the crowd with at the exhibit. Partygoers were in for a treat as Bun B hosted the evening's festivities and DJ Cipher provided the soundtrack. The diverse crowd went crazy mid event when a special delivery arrived for Dez from New Era. The crowd was treated to an impromptu fitted cap signing session until there were none left. At the end of the night everyone was all smiles and one last set of props was due to Dez, the man of the night.
