J DILLA - New Video, Hats, T-Shirts on the way!

J Dilla’s legacy continues to shine
New Video To Be Released For ‘Shining’ Album Track 'Won't Do' exclusively on imeem (www.imeem.com)

As word continues to spread on the recent release of J Dilla's final work 'The Shining', a steady chorus of praise is making itself heard. From major magazine features and newspapers nationally to NPR, television and more, this final work by one of Hip Hop's most innovative creative forces continues to be held up as proof that J Dilla was one of the most significant Hip Hop artists in recent memory.

The release will now see further play with a new video currently in post production for the track 'Won't Do'. The video is directed by Mazik Saevitz (of Blood of Abraham fame) and will feature Dilla's brother John Yancey as well as cameos from Common, Will.I.AM, Black Thought, Talib Kweli, Karriem Riggins and others. Styling for the video was done by Las Vegas based Fruition (www.fruitionlv.com). Expect a surreal CG driven visual journey that will celebrate Dilla’s legacy while staying true to ‘Won’t Do’ as a song.

The video will premier on 12/4/06 and will be exclusively available on imeem http://jdilla.imeem.com for 2 weeks following the premier. 2 weeks leading up to the premier exclusive stills and behind the scenes footage will be available on imeem. imeem is a next-generation online network for social media, bringing people together through shared creative passions by combining social networking with innovative digital media features and instant messaging. imeem allows people to upload user-created video, audio, photos, and blogs, attracting an independent and diverse community of artists, bands, filmmakers, photographers, DJs, video nuts and fans.

BREEZ EVAHFLOWIN- JOHN HENRY RADIO VOL. 14 : REALITY AND RHYMES PT II

Available free on i-tunes and at johnhenryradio.com

Peace All,
Good stuff this week as we get a bit deeper this week with another "reality and rhymes" edition of the show. I'm glad to see similar themes reflected in the results of yesterdays vote. If you went out in the bad weather the other day to get in your say you get props over here. I got a line in a song that goes "the vote is a joke, I still do, I'm devoted to hope". To me it's just important that the powers that be witness the masses taking some kind of action that shows they actually care about what's goin on. The people have spoken and I see a day comin when both red and blue get voted out by the true. And if you can't agree with that then we can at least share in the
relief of not having to watch anymore of these dumbass attack ads. (I'm Breez Evahflowin and I approve this ad) (paid for by supporters of live music and freelance graphic design)

here's the playlist for the show

Currently I have in possession a pretty interesting album, said to be basically, journal entries by the emcee and never meant to be heard by anyone. I personally feel the album should be heard by as many as possible in this time of katz shouting hiphop is dead. It's not. Less you dead. You couldn't be reading this post if you were. Inspired by the great literary work, 'Invisible Man' written by Ralph Ellision, the album 'Innvisible Men' is a great contribution to the art by the un-named emcee accompanied by production from yet another nameless character from the west coast. Currently there's talk about releasing this piece digitally. We'll see. Until then listen to Dreams.

My PPP Story.

Well let's just say I stumbled open yet another great opportunity to make a little money doing something that I've done for a while. Even as a professional there are times when you do a lot of pro bono work, for me most of the time it's for a good purpose so I have no real complaints. Just recently I found out about PayPerPost and of course when first taking a look I was suspicious as any sensible person should be of programs online that deal with money. But, I was actually quite pleased with the way the system worked and the method of payment was cool. I'm sitting on a wopping five bucks right now that's pending and you know what, I'm gonna probably spend it on a yet another domain name, or I can donate my earnings to charity, one of the options you have using this program. I think the site in very appealing. Pay Per Post is easy on the eyes and simple to navigate. Perhaps the ease of use is what hooked me. After getting over the intial wait for my blog to be approved I was happy to click on and complete my first opportunity. Now I want to get my bank up like the highest ranking bloggers on the homepage. How long will it take me to make a G. I guess we'll see!
