Spoken Honestly: Ian Kamau from StudioFeed on Vimeo. A few months ago I was asked by an independent music blog called Studiofeed to do a short doc piece. I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a while so of course I accepted, it was an opportunity to speak about my art in some […]

Generation OS13_ Dazed TV
I stumbled on this short documentary by Dazed TV on the Dazed Vimeo a few weeks ago after watching another doc on Grimes (who supposedly only showers once to five times a week, that is grimy). Anyway, The Generation OS13 documentary is an interesting look at contemporary culture and recent resistance to the powers that […]
Some Times_ Om’Mas Keith
I don’t know much about Om’Mas Keith but I like this video and what he’s doing musically doing interesting. I know more about his production partner in Sa Ra, Shafiq Husayn who did a crazy joint (with a crazy video) with Bilal not too long ago (posted below).
The Roots_ Legendary
The Roots are some of the hardest working musicians in hip hop and certainly one of the best live hip hop shows you will ever see in your life. Legendary.

The brother also went over his set time in a public square ensuring that Black Thought & J Period had to cut their set time (showing his general disrespect for the […]
Veronica Vasicka_ Minimal Wave (Fader TV)
Something about quiet, strange, loner, do it yourself types that I find really endearing. Veronica Vasicka from Minimal Wave Records gives a kind of slow interview but I still find her very interesting. Too bad introverts rarely meet each other.
Skateistan_ To Live & Skate
I ran into this documentary a few months back. Skateistan is about a group of young people in Kabul and their hobby of skateboarding. I’m always skeptical when I see things like this of the motives of the people who create these kind of programs in places away from North America; is it well intentioned […]
No Place Like Here_ Brazenhead
Michael Seidenberg of Brazenhead Books kind of reminds me of my father. Mr. Seidenberg is a bookseller who operates a secret bookstore somewhere in New York City. Just the idea of a secrecy bookstore was interesting. The more I realize who I am the more I realize that I need to not be attached to […]
