[Intro]

Floor seat flows, you already know

far as material goals, my list is short Floor seat flows, you already know far as material goals...

Broke my heart when Drake didn't stay independent

Broke my heart when Mac signed I hope they get it

Everything they deserve watching Nipsey flip it

My mind is A$I until the last inning

[VERSE 1: RETRO1920]

10 years off but I could flow forever

Swear its something about being an artist of ya era Honda midnight pearl its wine colored, they falling off

my falls covered

Been on my Hendrix and on my Kravitz

Grey chelsea boots and trucker jackets

Ran this decade underground but kept it

so Casper

In CNCR SZN they own whips but can't own their masters? Swear it's sneak dissing but keep the family close

Long as my brothers' eating than I'm staying ghost

{Bridge]

Astrology, the code of ethics of a living legend Ahead of this generation, yet I'm here for the next one [Verse 2]

I touch souls, then change clothes, and cars we in Cigars rolled, the chains gold, and God chose us Not to boast, but this year I'm getting close To all them goats, I'm six years in at the most

Two book deal, I'm feeling amazing

Signed myself I learned it all through Nipsey's patience

Bon Voyage n Beck Mot in a different space Hoping to spill some Ace near Hov and all the greats

Wind blowing in my face, just hoping to make enough

to cop a bike, been in my own lane Industry want nostalgia so like that son? I'm whipping the civic like it's a Datsun

[Bridge]

Astrology, the code of ethics of a living legend Ahead of this generation, yet I'm here for the next one

{Verse 3} SKOB (Some Kind of Blue IV] number 4, but this one a classic Living five years ahead but dropping it backwards Far as creating in my city the number one subject If I can't break bread with my brothers let's end the discussion Survivor's guilt weigh a ton, and you PT to lose it Lost 42 grams, this here deeper than music, That’s two brothers on your shoulders the burden is human

I gotta live more of my life for those who couldn’t

Hoping the CB or Shadow stay in the budget

Can no longer run from fear, I’m running towards it

More exposure mean my goals are getting nearer,

mean I see myself in nature the vision is clearer

{Bridge] Astrology, the code of ethics of a living legend

Ahead of this generation, yet I'm here for the next one

{Verse 4]

Boost on feet whenever hit road

3 or 4.0’s already know

Painting Divine lines, shine in irrational efforts

But God’s golden ratio in all of ya subjects Debating equity, is the film game ready for me? Cloth I’m cut from, it’s not here no more

Budden, Milo, and Lupe I’m a mix of those

temporary goals, feel it in ya soul

My brother Holla we was born one day apart

It’s not a coincidence we share the biggest of hearts

Cancer season if you near us then you breathe it

God channeling protection and we can give it

[Bridge] Astrology, the code of ethics of a living legend Ahead of this generation, yet I'm here for the next one x2

Astrology, the code of ethics of a living legend

Ahead of this generation but yet here for the next one.

THIRDY DOCUMENTARY (2020) | ADVANCE PREMIERE Feb. 1st-3rd

THIRDY Documentary

SO8.2020

To future time travelers,

Today I received my second rejection letter for a documentary titled, ""THIRDY." My journey, my purpose, has always been to find a way to push my ideas in the most independent way possible. Hence, the reason this site has been created. Nipsey Hussle has been an inspiration in the way I move as a creative. All Money In, No Money Out. Forget the middle man.

I conceptualized the idea for THIRDY back in 2016, prior to any talks of a satirical battle rap film titled "Bodied." Although I owe most of my apprenticeship phase to the practice of film and broadcast production I sustained while at the University of Florida, I consider my rookie year as a filmmaker to be 2016. This is the year I purchased my own equipment. I entered the game with a GH4, a 12-35mm (24-70mm equivalent), and a nifty fifty. I immediately grabbed a few filters. I purchased my camera from B&H and they threw in a Rode Mic Pro. Over time I purchased smart, to phone, lav mics and an 18-35mm Sigma Art Lens (with speedbooster) to get a 35mm eq. frame/depth of field.

I didn't enter a film festival to get an award. I entered it so I didn't think what if years later. My research brought me to the same conclusion; The number one regret filmmakers have when they don't enter a film festival is the constant thought of what if?

If entering a festival with no inside connects does nothing for you, it will at least help you meet a deadline. This year I entered three festivals: (1) SXSW (2) Gasparilla Film Festival (3) Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. With the Full Frame Doc as the only festival I'm still waiting to hear back from, I feel good about the final leg of this documentary.

This one was for us. They say when you start off with a camera, you should shoot what you know. Your first project should be something you can easily take command of as a director. I've been around hip-hop and the art of emceeing my whole life. It only felt right to bring an audience to such a niche culture which has kept Hip-Hop alive and exciting for so many years, behind the scenes.

My original intention was to only follow Dropz. We met in a coffee shop in 2016, I pitched the idea to him. I let him know I went to school for this and he understood if anyone would tell his story I would do it justice. Dropz and I go way back.

As he plugged me into the culture we started to realize the potential in the niche documentary we were presenting to the world.... Low key no one has done a cinematic feature documentary on battle rap. Time was going to be dedicated to have a sequence in the battle rap documentary that went beyond the battle rap arena. This was the main glue for my documentary. I wanted to see how the element of Hip-Hop kept people doing positive things in this environment.

This documentary became an opportunity to first (Round 1) give the audience background on the local battle rap scene booming in Miami, and the new talent emerging in the South Florida movement. Amongst it all, I gave the audience a quick backstory on the history of online battle rap and how Florida cemented it's place in the online culture of battle rap. Second (Round 2), was to show how battle rap has become a platform which is utilized beyond the battle rap community. It has become a revolving door for artists to express themselves and gain an audience outside and within the culture. For this round I had reached out to Dumbfoundead, Queen of the Ring, the host of Champion, and a few others.

The third (Round 3) aspect was to dig deeper into the Why. Due to time constraints and schedules, I was not able to get more from some artists, and I was not able to connect with certain artists who would have brought some issues we are dealing with as a society to the forefront (mental health, addiction, etc..). I wanted to show how much impact the platform has had on the artists; this way for people to escape, and express themselves. I have tons of footage, and interviews I recorded (ex. No Coast interviews/content) that didn't make the cut.

I want to thank everyone who gave me an opportunity to tell their story, especially Dropz. Without Dropz this was not possible. He was the first one to trust my vision. I also want to thank AYNT for the score of this documentary, without the score the documentary has no life.

Gents Classic Cuts @gentsclassiccuts

Screen grab from Gents Classic Cuts Barbershop.

Things are different on this side. Here is a return to the classic space of a barbershop.

S.07.2019

I was going to Gents Classic Cuts for months and never mentioned camera work. Honestly I didn't know if I could do it justice. It's so dope the meticulous details, and the vibe in this shop. I get teleported to a vintage era every time I walk in. I feel like that runner's high you get... that vibe Goku gets when he is about to get out of his time capsule. Just always wanted to be a fly on the wall and soak up the vibes of the shop in real time. This is how it feels to my eyes. Just felt the shop needed to be showcased in some way. I was going to do a feature piece inspired by the video below:

However, the guys at the shop decided to keep it simple and clean. They wanted a quicker turn around. I enjoyed the simplified ideas they had and their suggestions to have the second part of the video in black and white, to return to the classic space of a barbershop.

Their creative direction helped steam roll this into a return to the classic gents man cave we all know and love. I'd say this is an 80% done project. If I could finish it I would have the guys near some of their antique cars and just catch candid moments of them outside after they closed the shop.
