Incisive : Hello (Official Video)

Another Fresh song and video from my New video. Song produced by Vol, Video edited by me....enjoy!

In-Ci-Sive Official Video

Sup People...yes...ANOTHER video. (Told ya, it was Video Season)

So this one was a bloody hard one to execute.  As you can see, I wanted to do emulate the late, great Michael Jacksons "Black or White" video (The end part at least, cant really do the whole locking and crotch grabbing right now).

So I done a bit of research in how I was going to do the morphing (I edit alot of the videos myself - including this one) and once I figured it out, contacted everyone I could to come down to be in the video.  The problem was that it was the week before Christmas and so EVERYONE was busy as hell with work and last minute christmas shopping after work. 

This meant that I couldnt do a one day shoot - instead, I had to literally have an open shoot all week and have people come in as and whenever they could.

Some people couldnt make it which was fair enough but shoutout to those who could - amoungst others from the music world, G.R.E.E.Ds , Remel London, Nadine Charles, E plus , Kadija Kamara, Meleka, Shakka, Mr Hooli who all had to, learn around 4 bars of the song, on the spot, and deliver to the camera.

After the shoot, I went to Ghana for a week, and edited the video whenever I had free time - the issue with this video is that the morphing takes AGES - each one about 40 minutes and there are 30 morphs in the video.  This is before I have even decided what to use....

I think the end result was worth it though - hope u enjoyed it....

nice

Stress & Heartbreak OFFICIAL WEB VIDEO

So, Wretch 32 is one of the few UK rappers in the mainstream that I honestly respect fully.   His break through song was "Traktor".  I, like everyone else, loved the song, but what grabbed me was the bridge.  The production almost completely changed, and to be honest, it felt like a whole different song to me - a good song.

So I decided to take the instrumental of the bridge of the song, and recreate it with my Co-D, Shakka.  Here is the web video and you can download the song from here  - enjoy...

OFFICIAL VIDEO : Incisive ft Yasmin Baker : Dont Forget To call

Ive spent the last 3 weeks directing, shooting and editing this (yes...myself - I find D.I.Y to be the most reliable form of execution) Here are the OFFICIAL visuals for a song off my self entitled album, Incisive.  Don't Forget To call ft Yasmin Baker....

Enjoy!!

Incisive's Car Show : Incisive ft Nadine Charles

So another car show!!! To be honest though, this one was totally unplanned (JUST HOW I LIKE IT).  I was out with the lovely Nadine Charles for a catchup and happened to have the camera in the car from doing the previous car show. ALSO, I performed recently with Nadine assisting me with BV's at the Sunday show so I happened to have the instrumental still on my ipod. So camera, plus instrumental, and we were in my car - it was a no brainer!!

So this song is off the recent "Him & Her E.P" that I done. You can download it here

The Wait Is Over... JUST WAIT OFFICIAL VIDEO

Enjoy...

Incisive ft Shakka : This Groove Official Video

Its here!!! This groove is a single off the album and im proud to present the visuals for it. 

We had as much fun as it looks shooting this with the talented Luke Van Boom from "Bang Boom Creative"

Featuring my bruvva from another mother, Shakka . "This Groove" The single is officially out on 26th March from all good online vendors.

You are the one music video!

Nadine M Charles is a very talented female vocalist who happens to also be good friend of mine.  She has just put out a video for her upcoming single "You are the one" out 4th October.

I know from personal experience that it is VERY hard to even put a music video together almost completely independently let alone be successful in its execution.  I think Nadine has managed to do both and so a big thumbs up from me for this one - plus I LOVE this tune.  Take a look - P.s watch out for my cameo ;-)



Check me and Nadine in the studio last year working on a lil somethin!!

After u watch it u watch it, keep reading for an explanation of one or two things...




Incisive ft Shax: Release (Teaser) from Incisive on Vimeo.


A teaser is a teaser!! ;-). Now an explanation...

Alot of people wonder why I gave the song such a funny name - "Release". So ima explain.....

Basically, its about the emotion I was into when I wrote this song:

"Im just getting back to my yard
been on my feet, working WAY too hard
so ima listen to my ba be de boom, ba ba
yea ima listen to my ba be de boom, ba ba, tip-pit-tip-pit-ti-tay"

Thats where I started with this song - with the beat, and that chorus coming to me. And basically, that "Ba be de boom ba ba" represents music that I listen to....if you ask me how a certain song goes and I only know the beat and not the words, Ima replicate maybe the sound of the bassline, or the drums - "ba be de boom...."

So in the chorus, im saying, i been working all day, i just got home, ima sit down, listen to, and get lost in my music so that all that stress, and rushing round from a hard days work...I can just.....RELEASE...

Patience maybe not so much a virtue?

Sup people,

You may or may not have seen Wileys new song with the same name as the song I was gonna put out - "Summertime". He's video has just come out and he is releasing it 14th October. I think that the situation is funny as he has chosen to do EXACTLY what I tried to avoid - release a summer video after the summer ship had sailed... (watch then read more below)




Im guessing he shot his video mid summer too (i heard the tune couple times in july/august) and only got it back now BUT decided not to be as patient as I am and release it regardless lol. I do like the tune though - the video is not very "summery" but im guessing he had the same problems as me - no sun in England to really plan and shoot a summer video so skipped the sunny concept and ran with something else. I can only sit back and see how his video does now - im guessing he'll re release it next summer or the stations will run it again next summer...its got me second guessing myself though - maybe I shouldve let my video out even if I did miss the summer...

Its hard to say really - even if i do release it next summer and it does well, still cant say that releasing it now wouldve messed that up - one of those "shoulda,woulda, coulda, maybe" things...dont worry...ima be up soon...

NEW VIDEO MAKING OF/PREVIEW

So, obviously....

I gotta keep it moving so Ive been working on new material (shout out to TE1!) and got a new video sorted...its in the FINAL FINAL editing stages now...not sure when im gonna release it because I wouldve have wanted it to be closer to my other video, summertime...

Anyhow...here's some behind the scenes footage of it filmed by shax who u can here talking at times - he had backing vocals on it (The song and i guess the making of video!) Its directed by a very talented director - Jamie Cox whos portfolio include Bashys Black boys (original) and kidulthood to adulthood music videos.
Enjoy!

Summertime (kinda) video

This has been the most tedious process EVER!!!

Here is the video for my debut single - Summertime.



Here's the story behind the video...(VERY LONG READ BUT YOU SHOULD READ TO UNDERSTAND WHATS HAPPENING AND WHY...)

We actually shot it July 2007 but last years summer was a washout (which is why its not a bait summertime video) and we got it back late august anyway so it was long to release it then..so I was patient and decided to release it 08 summer (this year).

Then in january, I decided to do another video to release BEFORE summertime to sorta get my name out there so that when summertime dropped, I was already kinda established so I wouldnt have problems getting it played as soon as I needed it played (summertime songs need to be played in the summertime...its all about timing).

HOWEVER, because of uncontrollable circumstances, I didnt get to shoot this new video until late april and then the editing ran all the way into july (the new video looks HEAVY by the way...just taking long to edit because alot of peops are doing favours)

This forced me though, to double BACK and just release summertime first because I couldnt risk timing it wrong and releasing summertime too late.

HOWEVER, when i sent it to channel u, I sent on a digi beta tape which they dont accept - it took them a couple weeks to email me back and tell me this....

The clock is ticking...

Sooo I had to get it put onto a mini DV.

I asked the people editing the new video to do this for me seeing as they had a copy of summertime in the studios already....

They informed me that my master tapes of the summertime are in NTSC (American) format and there machines cant copy them to PAL (English) format.

A good friend got it sorted a couple days later (summertime clock still ticking) to get converted at some other studios but when i got there (after working a 15 hour day), it was copied from Digi beta tape to the mini dv tape that I needed, only with a big NTSC sticker on it (STILL IN AMERICAN FORMAT!!! AHHHHHHHHH)

Clock still ticking....

Couple days later, another friend gets it to someone else to convert it and also takes it directly to channel U offices for me (Shout out to E!).

Two weeks later and after I return from Ayia napa, the video still isnt playing on air!?!?!

I contact channel U who inform me that when they viewed the tape....it was blank...

(Summertime clock still ticking...past the first week of august now!!)

So I go to the channel U offices, swap the tape with another copy only to find out that the supposed blank tape had the video on it - all they had to do was rewind the tape about 30 seconds!!!!

Which brings us to now....9th august and the summertime video STILL hasnt got airplay - should be on by next week but considering I waited a WHOLE YEAR to get my timing right, u can understand my frustration.

Sorry about the long post - just had to vent!!
