The GO! Experiment

Live from FakeShoreDrive.com... Twone Gabz + Teefa + Sulaiman + The Rocketeers + Mike 100s + Vic Mensah + Mic Terror + J. Ivy

Thanks to all of the artists who participated, Jay iLLa for spinning, Dave Jeff for hosting, the blogs/websites for posting, Casey Bohrnell for filming, Cory @ Leaders for letting us take over his store, and Drew and Raphael for having me get down on the project. It was a lot of fun putting together and watching come to life. The energy in the room the day The GO! Experiment was filmed was like nothing I could describe in words, but it was very memorable. Those that were there know.

The GO! Experiment 2 coming this Spring. Any artists, DJs, sponsors, venues, looking to get down on Part 2 please hit me up.

Hope you enjoyed. Until next time. Fin.

FakeShoreDrive Sighting

This was posted by Andrew Barber on www.FakeShoreDrive.com...Good looking!! This past weekend, while in NYC, I was able to check out Damon Dash's DD172 and Creative Control compound in TriBeCa. I linked with J. Ivy (who was also in NYC) and lens-masters Coodie & Chike to check out this one-of-a-kind art gallery/recording studio/video production house/hipster haven.

I'd read a few articles on Dame Dash's latest experiment in hip-hop and needless to say I was intrigued. A four-story compound in one of the ritziest areas in Manhattan, where artists come and go and create at their own leisure? Say word? Entertainers such as Mos Def, Curren$y, Jay Electronica and The Cool Kids drop by to cut tracks, film videos and just hang out? And Ski Beatz is the in-house producer? This can't be life.

Here we have some video footage from inside DD172, featuring J. Ivy, Dame Dash and Ski Beatz. Later in the clip I've included a preview of the upcoming collaboration from J, Mikkey Halsted and Twone Gabz, which is set to be featured on J's upcoming project, which he previewed in the studio for everyone.

Dame's a cool guy and this place is ridiculous, so I hope it's able to thrive.
