Random creative moments

I guess this next video isnt as focused as most of them normally are in that its not about one particular thing.

I have most fun with music in the creation stages - to see music being created out of nothing or see and hear the development in a studio is one of the things I love MOST in the world - problem is, most of the time, people dont film that stage because...well you're busy being creative.

Luckily for me, Im so used to having the camera around that i've been able to capture random moments when I first made a tune or the first words that came to my head once the beat was done etc.  Watching the early stages back of a song, and then months down the line, having it on your album or performing it...I guess its my own version of watching my kids grow....maybe a bit too far but u know what i mean!!



So in order, we got:

1. Yasmin Baker in the studio working on her project - I put this in because watching yasmin develop as an artist, getting better and more confident everyday is a beautiful thing...I think shes got big things ahead of her...

2. Me a couple weeks back - I havent made anything for myself since I mastered the final album in march BUT I actually woke up with this song in my head...the whole thing..and HAD to make it so....it might even squeeze itself on the album..."Go Cisive"

3. Do it - this is the lead single for my album and the song that was reviewed in this months edition of Music week - this was me in the studio at like 3am after 6hours, completing the final mix...

4. Untitled - myself and donaeo after a studio session, he has this song in his head, and it just all comes out - would be nice to see how this one turns out if it ever gets completed - again, its just about seeing things in the earliest stages possible - imagine hearing just blaze beat box Jay-z's "public service announcement" before it was made - im not saying the song is anything like that but...u know what I mean!!

5. Album intro - again, this is the actual take I used on the album for the verse on the intro - this is my black album stuff

6.  Finally, this is myself, Shakka and the band playing a song called just wait which I originally produced in 2008.  This moved from an idea in my head, to a song in my bedroom, to a song done by a 7 piece band...hopefully its journey isnt over...

...just wait....

Behind the Scenes @ Donaeo's IM FLY Video shoot

I just got back from the Donaeo Video shoot for "Im Fly". As I hadnt eaten all evening, I couldnt sleep on an empty stomach so I threw something in the oven and quickly edited the footage I shot.

To be honest I didnt film HALF as much as I did for the party hard video shoot .  The proper behind the scenes is being done by Mo-aM so I thought Id leave them to it - at the end of the day, Im a Rapper - "I aint a blogger, I just film alot"

However, theres enough to get a gist of the shoot - and as result of waiting around and the need to entertain myself, a sneak peak into me out of my normal "Calm, 2 cool 4 school mode" - also, Danso - they ALL got curly hair?!?!....you'll see what Im on about.  Enjoy.

IF THE VIDEO STUTTERS OR PAUSES TOO MUCH, CHANGE THE "720 P" OPTION ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT (NEXT TO THE VOLUME) TO 480.

So,

As I explained in my LoNG last text post, ive during september (and still this month) I stopped almost everything to complete the album. Its about 75% complete now id say - Ive recorded ALL of my verses but ive got one more feature to record then mixing and mastering to go throught which I guess would be the other 25%.

So this video diary is nothing but studio sessions - I hope you still enjoy/enjoyed it and see what time and effort goes into a 3:30 song or even an album that you may or may not like...hopefully you like mine.

Nice one
