The Beat Renaissance

I have the honor and privelege of being the first to exclusively post the unofficial official Jay-Z Summer Jam performance “D.O.A” video . I shouldve post it sooner but better late then never. By far this is the best backstage/onstage video taken so far of Hovas performance at 2009 Summer Jam. Other blogs and websites need to get on it and post it. This video really needs some attention. Shot and edited by Director/Photographer Berman Fenelus with his Canon for AAC Films.



The is the second visual installment off of the “Me Got Game” mixtape hosted by D.J Don Demarco {Desert Storm}. You can download the mixtape by clicking the Me Got Game ad on the left menu. You need to download the Me Got Game mixtape if you dont haven’t already.

Thanks to: Sophia Leang , Berman Fenelus , Matt Workman , Brendan Cochran and Tiffany Reid.

This is the first visual installment off of the Me Got Game mixtape hosted by D.J Don Demarco {Desert Storm}which you can listen to and download by click on the mixtape ad on the left menu . I’ve heard alot of remakes of classic hip hop songs. But I just feel this guy Kobane has a way making the song his while paying homage at the same time to the original. And “Bonita Applebum was my SH*T. So much that I had a cassette with “Bonita Applebum” on Side A and Side B when I was younger.Oh and I wouldnt let my cousin Michael give me a shape up if my life depended on it. Peace Mike. lol. You did yah thing Kobe.!!!!!Enjoy all!!!!! “Shaquita, Shaquita , Shaquita …..Cool…”

Following Kellons’ work for quite sometime I might say I was quite impressed when I saw this piece of work he conjured up for one of his last school projects. We actually went to see the screening of this short but yet potent and introspective look into the past of Mr. Innocents’ childhood years in Public School. I was impressed and inspired Kellon. You really stepped it up on this one. Cant wait to work again with you. Great work on this one.


Here is Part 3 & 4 of the MeKobane Flip Files. In this post you see Kobane, ForKast and Dedan(behind the camera) heading back home @ 3:30am on the iron horse from the “Yeah Yeah I Know” session. In Part 4 you see Kobane & ForKast vibing to another T.B.R produced joint. Forkast also announces his forcast that its a hit. Lets keep it movin>>>>>>ONE – BSKI

MeKobane Flip Files Part 3




MeKobane Flip Files Part 4



Another crazy day at school, SAE Institute New York, and I found myself buggin’ out while I was mixing. I was mixing up some fire that BSKI produced called “The Crown” on the Digidesign ICON D-Command. This board is amazing and just makes my job easier, with everything spread out in front of you mixing in Pro Tools HD is a breeze. Once I got in the zone I just started spazing out. This is an everyday thing for me, but this is how I get the job done.
