CHANNEL O EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIER

It's been a hectic year. With lot's of opportunities utilized and a few missed, it's time for us to literally slide into the festive season and Shelela into the new year. So, in the spirit of Christmas and doing it big, me and ma team (MUSE Entertainment/ AMO PR/ JURY MUSIC/ GREEN FILMS) will be hitting all of AFRICA, with a music video exclusive at 17:30 CAT on Channel O (Channel 320, DSTV). It's off of 20 The Album and it features Dezza. Get your 2011 Swagg on . . .

Ingeniously directed by Chris Green of GREEN FILMS, with online editing from Tall Post, I can't help but mention that my second music video is one of the best I've seen in the past few months. Channel O, Africa's biggest music channel, has decided to give this baby special attention. The video will hit African screens at 17:30 CAT on channel 320, DSTV, on the Crispy Fresh music show. It's definitely something to look forward to, as me and Dezza do bestest in threads organized by Vie of Twenty Two. The whole video in itself is in crisp High Definition black and white, and features a guest appearance from SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE finalist Shelley Nicole Christians, but that's all I'm giving out. For the full experience, tune in to Crispy Fresh on Channel O at 17:30 on 20/12/2010.

Oh yeah, the EMERGENCY ENTRANCE MIXTAPE is still available for download. The Album is available in January. Merry Christmas. 20 grand out!

ALEX NASH EXHIBITION AND PUMA PARTY

Every era has it's heroes. THIS is the era of sneaker culture. And Nash Money aka Alex Nash aka Mr. Second Son, is my Jet Li. I've been working with this guy on a project for SABC 2, where he designed and customised 11 sneakers, drawing inspiration from the 11 "cultures" (official languages, really) of South Africa for Heritage Day. The end result? Awe inspiring!

Nash arrived in S.A in late August from the UK to work on this project. We had very little time, as delivery was in September, but we pulled all-nighters and got it done. He had an Exhibition on the 15th of October, before he left. It was a collection of his best work, including the SABC 2 Heritage Sneakers, the Lacoste x Alex Nash designs, and a wealth of the sickest Air Max and Air Jordan customs out there. Speaking of AIR MAX, I can't help but respect those drops. Those is legends, and I have a feeling I'm going to be getting myself the Glory Red Air Attack Air Max 1. That's just an epic cut. The Exhibition was brought to us by the good guys at Miller, Vitamin Water and Greyscale. We see you ninjaz! For more pics from the evening, click here.

Later in the evening, my much better half and I headed up the road to THE ALEX THEATRE for the much awaited Puma Suede launch. This was an epic way to end what Nash Money started. Did someone say "Free Bar". I'll have the whole thing! Ahem. I also met Solly from ChannelO who had some bad news for me. And my boy Phiko from Red Bull who had worst news. All I can say is, I'm gonna be getting a lot less sleep. Might have to start complaining soon! Cameras were not allowed at this event though. So no pics. But I'm sure peoples got some snappies with their BB's. My boy Mr. Calibre, whose sneaker game is inspiring, was at both events. So was SCOOP MAKHATHINI! Have you seen this dude's sneaker collection? Nigga got a room for his sneakers yo! Now THAT'S a sneakerfreaker!

This was a great weekend that ended with me making a sick beat on a chilled Sunday. Life ought ta be loved! Peace and happines to you all.

ONE HIGHLY-ROTATED FOOT IN THE GAME

I've been looking back at the intense work we put in to shoot my first music video for the MarazA and Bobzin Dash smash hit single: "One Foot In The Game Ft. Kay Soul" (3rd Picture above). We couldn't have possibly anticipated that GREEN FILMS' master cinematography, direction and editing would give birth to such a successful video.

We're already sitting on 1606 views on youtube. The bulk of our success, however, is seen on ChannelO and MTV Base (to whom we're really grateful), where the video is seen EVERYDAY by fans and haters alike. It's really quite humbling. The coat is still highly debated, with split opinions on whether it's a Nay or Yay, but talk is talk and talk is good! I think what also makes the video so powerful, apart from the fact that it's a kickass song and the quality is one of the best we've seen withing these borders, is the muscle we packed in the star-studded cameos. Proverb (2nd Pic), KoldProduk and FratPack (1st Pic) all lent their iconic images to helping me realize a personal dream. That's something worthy of respects in my book! The dancers were also incredibly nanaz! Delta killed it y'all! She went on to win Masters of Rhythm in the solo females category, but that's no surprise.

The support has been phenomenal and many people are demanding that we get nominated for awards for this video. I won't argue with that! To see what the hype is about, peep the video on youtube here. Also tune in to channel 320 and 321 on DSTV. You can keep up with Proverb on his website and follow Fratpack on twitter.
