Part of the King of the Beats family. M.Will the Shogun announced today he was giving away 10 of his albums away free. M.Will is one of the special featured guests in the movie..King of the Beats presents ‘Looking for the Perfect Beat’.
In his own right the young producer has had a very different upbringing to most of us, brought up inside the House of Hits he was exposed to it all. A classically trained musician, versed in newer technologies, M.Will is of his time. Although his music may not be what most people consider traditional hip hop, it most definitely comes from there. Today he got in touch to let me know about his big album give away. So without any question we must post this. We must support the younger generation coming through, especially when they have shown love to us and took a genuine interest in the older generation.
“Its the first day of spring.. Summer is just around the corner! Inspired by my visit to Austin, TX for SXSW, I feel today is a great day to release my music for free for 24 hours. Normally, I price my music at unreasonable prices on my bandcamp because I feel music has an unlimited value. I prefer to personally hand my music to my fans, friends and family. However today is a special day. Updating my bandcamp I’ve realized I have released a total of 10 projects in a 5 year span (2009-2014). My 11th project will be released on my 21st birthday as a subtle ode EP to my “twin” Sun Ra who would have turned 100 on our birthday. I’ll then consider a hiatus and travel while completing my double degree in arts management and ancient history. In the meantime, as I work on finding a home for my music, I want to engage in more creative outlets to distribute my music.”
Today I’m proud to drop this video. My Partner in King of The Beats Records Tha 4orce, Steven Ellington had been talking to me about making a trip to the Midlands to pay me a visit.
The Plan was to watch the Edits for the Film ‘Looking for the Perfect Beat’. Discuss and plan our return trip to NYC to complete the movie. Instead we ended up shooting 3 videos.
The first was a video promo geared towards promoting his radio show. Mind Tha Gap Radio is a monthly show dedicated toward new music only. My part in the show is minimal. I helped plan and design the site . To Motivate and be there spiritually behind the scenes.
The second is a video for the song – Good Guys Never Win taken from the Album Setting Standards the Deluxe Edition, the new vocal version produced and featuring Tha 4orce.
Shot on location in Birmingham City we started out sunrise this morning 01.03.2014 without much of a plan. The only idea we had was to make sure the main character would be walking somewhere. Unfortunately things did not work out to plan, the footage just did not come out to plan. So we went back to our old format of stand and rap infront of the camera. We shot 7 scenes returning back to Redditch to start Editing.
We put together a tidy video, but personally it lacked any spark. I felt it needed another layer and that we need to step our game up.
Thankfully Andy Higgs arrived at my place traveling 150 miles to join us on today’s project. We had a open discussion where I aired where I felt the video needed to go, and what I wanted to do. I had mentioned this to Steven earlier the day before.
Im not a fan of Pharrel Williams but I can not say that I do not really admire his work, vision on his Happy single. The video blew me away. I could see that this was going to be a big thing internet not just for its high spirited lyrics, topic and drum patterns, but the video concept. Bringing people together no matter their race, gender, sexuality, size, age or dancing ability. I could that this was going to be a internet sensation with people, groups all over the world being inspired to shoot their own versions of the song. He has lifted the spirits of the people like no president has ever done. its been a week already and look at how many global covers there are, even northen soul versions of the song.
I wanted to do my own spin on that, but unlike the videos that you see from Japan, Russia, Italy and Australia this would be like the answer record, not a diss version but the opposite to happy, Tha 4orce had written a very personal story, expressing his frustrations that many like us feel, how good guys grinding hard always seem to loose out. Hence the opposite to the Happy song by Pharrel.
Andy Higgs after watching the Pharrel Video at my house for the first time suggested that I sit in the back of his van with the doors open and shoot Stevewalking around. We would get the smooth shot and maybe we will capture some magic. Steve said that we can do 2 takes, that he would rhyme ever other line and that we edit the 2 scenes together. We did one take of him rhyming the lines as we drove around Winyates shooting.
Returning to my house after 30 mins, I started to put a new video together. We got the magic, adding the element of a story or character to the video. Collectively we sat together as I edited the video. I must say Im very pleased with the outcome. Although we are based here, im very proud to have some great and creative people around me.
As I keep telling these guys at this age this is what I love to do, to be and continue being creative is something I strive and enjoy being / doing. In Rakimswords..’I aint not joke’. Thank for your support enjoy our new video, directed by yours truly.
I would like to take the time out firstly to say thank you to the first videographer to contact me and contribute some footage towards the upcoming film ‘KING OF THE BEATS – LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT BEAT’. Julie Schabel hailing from Cleveland was introduced to me by Marlon Williams, one of the main characters in the film. I had put a post up asking for film makers, photographers if they could help by contributing some footage towards the project. Street shots of NYC, Sky Lines and urban symbols and architecture. Marlon recommended that I should get in touch with his friend.
Whilst we was out in NYC last year we didn’t have much time to capture these shots. I thought in preparation for my next and final trip to NYC to shoot for this film this would be a great way of collecting vital footage and also getting people involved at a very grassroots level. For the last 20 so years Ive been plugging away at building a reputation within the hip hop community as a film maker and activist. This is the largest project I have ever taken on. If you measure success on how much money you made then Ive not been very successful. Now into my 40s I can think back to when i was in my early 20s and started making my films and going into NYC shooting. I still feel I have the very same energy and hunger I did back then, but the reality is that time is working against me, so maybe getting a bit of help is not a bad thing.
Hip Hop Culture was always about the underdog to me, that is the story. The one all the odds are stacked up against, but comes out on top. Hence I’m talking about the battle. the challenge I have always faced is that I did everything my self. Im still hungry and I desire to show others that you can take out all these other corporate funded projects through sheer hard work and determination. This is not a funded project, So far its been very organic, funded by my self and those who supported it believing in me so much so they payed their own way to come out to NYC to shoot this film.
I’m very grateful that there are people like Marlon and Julie who can see the bigger picture. Julie her self has been involved in film for some time too. This is what she had to say about her self.
‘I got into music photography in high school when all my friends were in punk bands in Cleveland. I would go to shows with my little cameras (mostly disposable or cheap digital ones I managed to get my hands on) and shoot the shows and my friends at the shows. In college in Chicago I started going to the ghetto house/juke party’s and came up when Cool Kids, Flosstradamus and Kid Sister were doing mad shows and throwing parties. I was really influenced by that but wasn’t really going out to shoot at the time, I just have some shitty cell phone pics of parties at sub-t and Town Hall. I started to take music photography seriously when I went to NYC for CMJ in 2011 where I shot ASAP, Danny Brown, Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire, Main Attrakionz, all artists I continue to work with today. We were all just breaking ground that year and its been cool to see how we all grown in this industry. Now I am shooting videos for artists, working with a few production companies and doing freelance coverage of events and shows related to hip hop and electronic music primarily’.

The Image shows behind the star status, Diamond Drepresents quality and hard work. He is a man that sticks to his roots and is passionate about his craft. When its time to get your hands dirty and get to work Diamond Dis all business.
For almost 2 weeks we was working daily, selecting images and fine tuning. Believe me even though we are oceans apart Diamondwork ethic is very precise and clinical. Brings me back almost 20 years ago after the first Diamond D album dropped. It was the best thing in the world to me then. I saw as a fan of the music this is the mark and standard I need to be at. I wonder If Juice Aleem remembers walking from DJ Sparra’s house to the bust stop in kings Norton. I explained why I think Diamonds music is the pinical , why DITCis where I need to aim for as the Bar. One Day I said I’m gonna work with him. 2o years later its happened. Right now I’m happy.
You should stay in the town for a few days anyway. The young man wearing a high crown and a jade pendant will probably go relatively smoothly.Song Jixin just liked to provoke this little thorn. Every now and then, he would go and steal a few pebbles.
Song Jixin s moves are still flying, opening and closing, and the antelope hangs its horns. The temperaments of both parties are worlds apart. After only eighty moves, the young man in green shirt lost completely.Over the south side of the town, a man stepped on a flying sword and tilted downwards. When he was about a hundred feet away from the ground of the town, he paused for a moment and said, The man with the sword lowered his head and looked down at the town, looking around in all directions, and then rushed down towards Fulu Street.
She had no choice but to vent her anger, stretched out a finger and poked the straw shoe boy s forehead hard.The most embarrassing thing Best Cbd 13 Gummies For Arthritis Relief From Pain And Inflammation is that after coming here, they who were originally aloof The gods and immortals are like small fishes thrown ashore.
She just waved her hand to drive them Improving Sleep Quality With Papa And Barkley Sleep 69981 Gummies A Comprehensive Guide Xywtm away. He had no choice but to leave. This burly old man, who looked like a domestic slave, had his hands hanging on his knees.When she passed the archway, she kicked a stone pillar hard. Finally, She came to the leafy old locust tree. According to what the old man said, the tree had lived for an unknown period of time, and no matter when it dropped dead branches, it would never hit anyone.
Anyway, as long as you don t get close to that town, no matter how crowded it is, Lao Yuan won t have any worries here.To put it bluntly, except for the Piyun Mountain that you are unwilling to take out, there is no mountain that can catch my eye.
so as not to make wedding clothes for neighboring countries. Only when the people in the small town stand on the top of Piyun Mountain can they see the Longtou Mountain at our feet, because Longtou Mountain is protected by a large formation and cannot be seen by ordinary naked eyes.He dare not say that he Harmony Leaf Cbd Gummies Side Effects Separating Fact 5437 From Fiction For A Harmonious You was better than the young master in the house with the fourth surname. Living a good life, compared to the direct descendants of the ten clans, he had four treasures in the study, elegant toys on the desk, clean supplies in the study, and many luxury items that Chen Ping an had never seen or heard of.
There is about three feet of distance between the eaves of Oros Cbd Gummies The 592 Essence Of Purity the two courtyards. While staring at the assassin s movements, the maid quietly retreated on the eaves.Once a good embryo appears for practice, the porcelain buyer who bets on the treasure, as long as it is not on hand If you are too tight, you will probably get an extra big red envelope.
There are two of them, packed with some pickles that are not easy to spoil. Liu Baqiao looked proud and walked with a little flutter.At that time, Liu Xianyang caught a glimpse of the maid Vigor 6675 Vita Cbd Gummies Reviews Zhigui Do 09374 You Chew Or Suck On Cbd Gummies Broad Spectrum Unlock The Secrets To Maximum Benefits who was having fun on the side, and he immediately became angry and cursed Song Ji Xin Goose, what kind of goose is it Can your goose talk Chen Pingan finally caught seven or eight slate fish, and the bamboo basket was shaken by them.
Your brain is unreasonable The old man finally spoke If you don t study, you are also stupid. Zheng Dafeng was not ashamed and turned around and said flatteringly Master, do you want to give your old man a shoulder rub and a leg tap The old man said calmly I don t have any coffin books, so just give up on this idea.
Li, no. Do you want to stop running around As soon as Gu Ruoyi finished speaking, a doting voice came over.She was so excited just now because she felt that she had been deceived by the person she loved and trusted the most.
The little guy s face almost turned red from her kiss, so Gu Ruoyi stopped kissing him any more.Gu Ruoyi walked in holding a bouquet of flowers and placed it on the table.
When she hung up the phone, a clear and sweet voice came from the other end of the phone, A Ting, Mom is awake.It s easier. However, last night, Li Shaoting 26 Best Cbd Gummies For Anxiety And Stress Relief Benefits And Reviews went to sleep in the little guy s room for some reason.
In fact, Li Shaoting s embrace was quite warm. Yeah The little guy waved his little hands tirelessly and grabbed Mommy s hair.She smiled evilly, so let her pretend to be real. With that said, she walked towards the director enthusiastically.
Of course Xiang Yanyi knew who that woman was referring to.Gu Ruoyi came out but didn t see Li Shaoting. She looked around the office, but still didn t see him.
Don t cry, don t cry, little one, don t cry. Gu Ruoyi coaxed the little one.Gu Ruoyi gently opened the door and Do Cbd Gummies Really 9464 Work walked in front of him cautiously.
Yes, we caught you to sell you to those tycoons. The thin man replied.That mother is now awake. Where is it Yan, I heard that my Ulixy Cbd Gummies 11 A New Dimension Of Relief mother is awake.
I now suspect that in the costume design competition a few 40751 What Do Cbd Gummies Do For Males Benefits Effects And Reviews days ago, you were the one who made Lu Qianxue make a fool of herself on the stage and fell off the stage.Bai Feifei s unreasonable request made the employees around him feel a little embarrassed.
Like stars. Gu Chenxi listened to her nephew s soft voice, stretched out Delving 5785 Into The Science Of Cbd Gummies For Ed her long arm, and pulled the little guy in front of her.I don t know what happened last night, but Li Shaoting came back smelling of alcohol.
If it s a daughter, she must look like Mrs. Li. When Gu Xiao heard the sound, he raised his head and saw a small figure running towards him.It s not like he didn t hear what Mu Xinran said just now.
I apologize to you Apologize Do you think you are great just because you are an international movie queen I serve you tea and pour water and do my duty faithfully, but you are still so picky when you tell me what to do Let me tell you, I m quitting my job, and you can find whomever you like as your assistant Papa Gu Ruoyi remembered a burst of applause from behind, and a lazy voice came This play is so realistic, I almost believe it.
He felt a little dizzy. Pei Qian refocused his eyes and picked out the closer scenery and pedestrians.It s just that after the Mohist giant defended Nan Posuo Continent and had many battles with the Fourteenth Realm sword cultivator Xiao Xun Wenjian, he is no longer overrated.
When they were cultivating and climbing high, there were no preachers around them, and there was no book in the true sense of the fairy tale at hand.They talked and chatted without being too official. It s just that when Lin Miaozhu spoke, no matter how taboo he spoke, he was still not as free as the man in front of him.
Otherwise, before the last trip, according to the family background of Luolu Mountain at that time, I actually already have Confidence is at odds with Qingfeng City.It s just that your choice is not that good. Why not choose it Which clay statue is more suitable for the immortal tomb, but you want to choose the severely damaged one Destiny Nostalgic Or is it just pleasing to the eye The same saint like words followed the rules, and after being revealed by Zhou Mi s words, there After Qi Jingchun s death, a hidden dharma image appeared on its own.
This is similar to how a Qi practitioner goes to the table to drink. He can endure a small bowl of red eel noodles, but how can he eat a full bowl To eat or not to eat It doesn t matter whether Shark Tank Cbd Gummies Amazon 749 you finish the meal or not, so being polite to the end and not using chopsticks at all is a wise choice.
It is Qingdizi, with weaving landscape and cloud patterns. It is said to be some kind of tapestry 26 Discover The Best Cbd Gummies Middlesbrough Benefits Reviews And More craft, but Guo Chunxi doesn t understand it anyway.Even if you don t hook up, as long as Youqing has thoughts about you, I will chop you to death. Mi Yu smiled and said, Li Jianxian doesn t know something.
Of course, Feng Jun only said a few things that could be said, such as the way to leave the ship and the method of leaving the city to change cities.It s not that Liu Zong s martial arts aptitude is not good, so he can only stop at the Golden Body Realm and cannot travel far and wide.
Chen Pingan stared at the lights in the water, and then looked up at the north. He heard that the night sky in the middle of Aquarius The Benefits Of Tlc Cbd Gummies A 204 Comprehensive Guide To Boosting Energy And Focus Kuawd Continent was often as bright as a year old.This was actually a bit of a bad rule, so Jiang Shangzhen and Wei Ying successively Regardless of his personal temperament, state of mind, or skills, he was extremely tolerant when he took charge of the affairs of Shujian Lake.
A limping child came to the Best Bio 47103 Health Cbd Gummies Amazon stone table with a bruised nose and swollen face. For the first time, he didn t have his hands behind his back.Pei Qian was more attentive than Chen Pingan, and when she looked carefully, she suddenly whispered to Chen Pingan Master, this set of scales uses horn poles, which ordinary people cannot afford.
The shopkeeper only said that there was no such book. He went to a fake bookstore and returned with the same result.I know full well that I must go to that world. Whether or not we can return to Haoran Tianxia will be discussed later.
Don t say that Chen Li, those elders who were taken out of their hometown, Understanding The Value Of Nufarm Cbd Gummies A Comprehensive 9867 Review even Bai Xuan and the others, you can t compare to, you are Consumer 07372 Reports Reviews On Cbd Gummies For Ed the last one.When the book becomes thicker and thicker, we will become more and more insignificant.
Yao Xianzhi shook his head, That s about it for you. I m different from you. Mr. Chen can rush to Mirage City for my grandpa today. When I get old someday in the future, Mr.
Friendship belongs to friendship, and the truth belongs to the truth. Li Julang had no choice but to look at the small pavilion and lamented It s a pity that this pavilion is so beautiful.Ning Yao frowned and said, This is Useless City So where is he If that guy was traveling on this ferry to visit immortals, who did he meet and what difficult situations did he encounter that would make him need to hand over a sword to others Or is it that he is back to his old business, working as a baggage owner while scheming against someone else Over at the Spring Mansion in the Ascension Realm, there is only one portrait of the Patriarch that has not been hung up in Wellness 913 Cbd Gummies Mg A Comprehensive Guide To Benefits Ingredients And Effects Dvyjf recent years.
Anyway, Cui Chan can accept both. At this moment, in the pavilion, neither the scholar in blue nor the young man in white separated the world from each other, and they did not even speak from their hearts.Chen Pingan originally planned for Pei Qian to continue escorting Xiao Mili and go to Pima Sect to wait for him, but Chen Pingan The Benefits Of Olly Ultra Sleep 403 Gummies For A Restful Nights Sleep Djtui changed his mind and just went with him.
It shouldn t be reduced to a joke for future generations because of an imitation sword. Then he smashed Do Cbd Gummies Stay In Your System 22302 A Comprehensive Guide To Duration And Effects Hpumr it. The broken sword spirit and sword energy regrouped, and it was like a sword fairy flying sword Gu Cui was seen again.The sword cultivators in Luzhou in the north are closely related to the Great Wall of Sword Qi Origin, Chen Pingan has been a hidden official for many years.
How could the cross continental ferry landing trade and today s Tongyezhou be so hampered by outsiders, occupy important and high positions by outsiders, and make its own monks feel inferior to others Cui Dongshan looked worried, Don t let the conflict start over there.people. From high to low, in droves. Mi Yu accompanied Jiang Shangzhen to look at the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.
Bai Xuan stepped on the railing and said angrily, I m so annoying, young master Because Master Cao had told them not to reveal Exploring The 56 Benefits Of Green Street Cbd Gummies A Comprehensive Review the sword cultivator s identity easily.This meant that Han Yushu definitely didn t get any advantage, but Chen Ping an didn t get any advantage at all.
For a Pianyu Immortal family like the Qingzhi Sect, being able to find such an embryonic cultivator is already considered a sign of smoke rising from the Patriarch Hall.Chen Ping an was a little surprised, That Yu Lao Immortal who is known as the exclusive talisman Pei Qian smiled and nodded, saying with a shy face, On the battlefield, Senior Yu not only helped me kill a Jade Pu Realm monster, but also gave me the Jade Pu Realm s natal creature, a half immortal soldier.
When a person skips home, his steps will be brisk. Children who are never afraid of walking at night never feel lonely, and they don t know what loneliness is.The sword in Pei Min s hand shattered, but his body remained motionless. The strength of this sword is not weak. It doesn t look like a Jade Pu realm swordsman.
He raised his head slightly and looked at the old guy standing on the edge of the cliff. He Cbd Drops Vs Gummies A Comprehensive 86965 Guide To Choosing The Best Cannabinoid didn t want to fall down, so he just fell to his death.The young man complained endlessly, It hurts, it hurts, just talk, Mr. Chen Why are you dragging me Chen Ping an said with a sincere smile It s a literary achievement.
Even drinking itself is a reminder that Liu Mao is not a Taoist priest and is still the Third Prince.Jiang Shangzhen suddenly stopped and turned around to look. He saw a young man in white clothes who was bleeding from all his orifices without wiping away.
