This is my homie Chris Robinson

You should know this guy…

Why?

He directed the movie ATL…

Let me see… and he has directed major videos for the likes of Jay-Z, T.I., Busta Rhymes, Keri Hilson, Ludacris, Usher, Ne-Yo, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson, Fat Joe, Puffy, Ryan Leslie, Nas, Nelly, Common, Akon, and many more…

what have you done?

A few things…

Being the Brand Manager at Concepts gives me an opportunity to meet and work with good people from multiple influential footwear companies. Redwing, Clarks and New Balance are right in our backyard and we have worked closely on multiple projects, some you’ve seen and some in the making.

DJ Manipulator – Studio Kinda Dusty

studiokindadustybw

Here’s a free download for the DJ Manipulator mixtape “Studio Kinda Dusty.” DJ Manipulator and my family over at Social Light Sounds have been working hard and creating quality product for quite some time. Here’s the write up from sociallightsounds.com:

“In celebration of Nite People’s 2nd album “What do you Mean You People?”, Social Light Sounds and DJ Manipulator are releasing a FREE mixtape called “Studio Kinda Dusty”. Manipulator has dug through his crates and created a crazy blend of rare Dub, Funk, & Soul songs. This 30 minute mix can be appreciated by hardcore record diggers and casual listeners alike.”

Wale was in town, shooting his video “Chillin” with Lady Gaga, and he swung by Concepts to shoot a scene for the video. Here are some pictures I took while checking out the video shoot. “Chillin” is directed by Chris Robinson and is due out soon, so keep an eye out.

Wale / Chester French @ Concepts

My man D.A. and his group Chester French performed at the Harvard Square May Fair festival this past Sunday with a surprise guest Wale. Wale was in town to film his new video “Chillin” featuring Lady Gaga.

Chris Robinson directed the joint and filmed scenes at Concepts. Big shout to my man Wale, Chris Robinson, Set Free and the Robot staff.

New Gifts

My man Tyler from SB (and more importantly BLC) sent me over a few goodies.

First up was the Stefan Janoski… Boat shoes are back this summer, and Nike found a way to get in on it at a great price point (70.00) I expect to move a ton of these once they drop.

At first sight I did not “love” the shoe, but I drank the kool aid.

Next was the Supreme Bruin… Not much to say here. Another homerun by Supreme. The shoe and the coat are fire.

Dead Snow – Trailer

If you know me, you know I have a soft spot in my heart for zombie movies. I love them. Someone who knows this love well, sent me the link to this trailer. Another zombie movie yes, however this one combines two of my favorite cinema subjects: Killing zombies (obviously) AND killing Nazis. Awesome. So check out the trailer and keep an eye out for the movie, both in theatres and eventually on video.

Velvetta Mike’s farewell

My brother Mike is leaving May 5th for basic training for the Air Force….. Tonight, WE DRINK!!!!!

So Mike decided that the transformation process would best be accomplished with a 96 oz bottle of 13.99 Sangria.

Matthew Lillard and I…. We only asked him to recreate the final scene of Scream about 10 times throughout the night.

cimg2244
My wife made me finally burn my black book. Gone but nor forgotten ladies.

cimg2261
Found Mike slumped out at the Tiki Bar-Bar.
