Gray: Dr. Dre x Topless

In my opinion, all of this "Detox" and "Recovery" stuff needs to end. Rappers need to stay high, do drugs, talk about violence and talk about murdering their wives... or do they? Regardless, this track is rumored to be off Dre's new album, Detox, which is supposed to turn heads, and maybe one up Eminem's Recovery. Dre, Eminem, and Nas... common and I got you lazy fools a download link. Check out the fire!

Gray: Got My Vans On...

So first semester I was stupid when it came to kicks. Rockin' my J's to parties, then being too wasted to do anything about the scuffs when I stumble back into my room. Jordans rarely make an appearance anymore anyway, since I skate to class, and I sure as hell am not skating in Jordans... and when I am not in class its either studying or partying, so you get the picture. The first time I was out in LA with David, he told me to look out for the Vans fetish this city has, and since I have been living out there, the truth behind David's words only became more apparent. Vans are cheap, comfortable, and they are fresh. I never ended up getting a pair out there, but i found a couple pair under my tree this year. I feel a collection about to begin...

David: TKFV Introduction - ChristianFGY

Christian actually has made a short appearance on TKFV before in Maestro Know's video where he visited his school in Las Vegas. In the video Maestro shares some inspiring words to his film class. Below are a few videos that Christian has put together and sent me the other day. This guy is a very talented director and I remember getting in touch with this guy when he reached out to us about our videos. Since then we've built a pretty good relationship and continue to review each others work. Besides directing Christian is also a designer and photographer.

The first video is of Dennaya Famous, owner of the store Dfame in Las Vegas. In this video he highlights the aspirations of a local stylist/vintage clothing store owner while capturing her work and store at the same time. Little side note too, I NEED SOME OF THESE ITEMS IN MY CLOSET! Wow. Check it out below:

The second video is a preview of the Canyon Springs Basketball team documentary called, "Road to Revenge." It's a story of passion, motivation, inspiration, and dedication. I'm definitely excited to see the full version after seeing this teaser. Check it out below:


There is a lot more to come from this dude and we love everything he's put together so far. Whatever he's put his hands on lately has come out to be gold. ChristianFGY everybody. Keep an eye out.

David: Doze One x Dozin' Off (Mixtape)

The homie Doze One out of Providence, Rhode Island (my old hometown) just released this today. I respect this dudes grind and music a lot. Not many artists today have a combination of good singing and rapping like this guy and put it together like he does. There's definitely a different sound and genre Doze is bringing to the table on some of his songs on Dozin' Off. I guess it's safe to say this music is simply Doze One and nobody else is touching it.

Below are two of my favorite tracks from the mixtape, "Jump" and "Windows Down." Take a listen and download the full mixtape below. Don't miss out on this guy. He'll definitely be on TKFV a lot more.

David: OFWGKTA x Bads†anta Show

Hodgy Beats of OFWGKTA

Wednesday night (12/22), OFWGKTA took the stage at the extremely well known Roxy Theater in Los Angeles, California. All the guys in OF have quickly been recognized as some of the best live performers and for good reason. Their shows aren't only sold out every single time, but they capture the crowds attention, get them involved, keep the intensity levels up, and keep them going till the end. Something the hip hop world has really needed for a long time from my personal experiences going to concerts in the past.

Check out the footage below and support the up and coming group, OFWGKTA:

Merry Christmas to everyone from TKFV! I hope Santa was good to everyone, but remember, it isn't about what you get, but rather the unification and spirit of people.

So however you spend it make sure to not only celebrate it for yourself, but celebrate for those that couldn't celebrate with you this time around. Have an amazing holiday!

Below is a little track from Vermont producer Principal Dean perfect for today! Check it out below:

David: Mustafa Abubaker Wins Merit Award For 'Intangibles'

Mustafa Abubaker and Congressman Tom Price

The last time we featured Mustafa Abubaker, the writer of The Surrogate, was last month. About a month later and he's now one of the bloggers of the quickly growing 'The Right Kind Of Brownies' blog which features tons of interviews from people within the music and fashion world. But what's even more impressive is his recent Merit Award for a selection of his next novel Intangibles. He was in the top 5 percent of over 4,000 of America's most talented 17-18 year olds in all 9 disciplines offered. Now that's making smart cool.

Be sure to check out Mustafa Abubaker's first novel The Surrogate!

Gray: water

If you've got 20 minutes on your hands, everyone check out this amazing short film called "water". It has won 4 different film festivals and awards, and has been nominated for the AFI Best Film for 2009. Short films intrigue me because of the straight challenge of sending a strong message with such little time, which is what makes a great short film stand apart from average ones. This film sends its message, uses great shots, and has amazing visual effects... deserved all the awards it was given.

David: Sarah Kjelleren Photo of the Week!

Sarah Kjelleren

Once again Sarah Kjelleren comes back with another amazing photograph, this one of Marlena Tremback. This is definitely my favorite photo from this shoot and I know it's one of Sarah's as well. Here's what she had to say about the photo:

After taking my first trip to NYC ever, I was inspired even more by fashion. The people in the city were so unique in their tastes and it shows how you can really be anyone you want to be while you are there. I did a bit of shopping before the shoot and picked up some vintage apparel. Once my model Marlena Tremback arrived I dressed her up and we headed out into the cold. After trekking through the fields and the falling barn we headed over to a bamboo patch my father had planted. There I pulled out my film camera and took a few shots of Marlena in the leaves. Those can be seen on my blog (www.SarahKjelleren.com).  We then ran inside did a quick outfit change where she was able to wear her grandmothers vintage jacket, and headed out again to the "Stonehenge." The lighting was incredible and air was fresh and crisp. It was a very successful shoot, with many more to come!

Gray: Put It Down!

So I have been studying studying studying for finals, trying to finish this semester strong! During every study session you gotta take some breaks and bump some beats, and let me tell you, this song has been playing non-stop for the past week. Bun-B killed the whole album "Trill OG", but this song has to be my favorite. Drake has a good verse + a catchy chorus too, give it a listen! Below is the music video, produced by Mr. Boomtown... really feeling the intro scene. Check it out...

Gray: I'm Back!

For those who have been paying attention for the past couple months this blog has been completely run by David. He has been making the posts, making trips to New York, pretty much just stayin on top of it all. To be honest, the college life just kept me super busy for a while, and I definitely lost focus in both TKFV and my love for making edits and working with film. Starting today, things are going to change. You will be seeing a lot more of me here, and once I get my t2i footage working smoothly with Final Cut again some edits will be coming out real soon too! Below are some stills I took from the footage I have got here so far in LA, hope you enjoy!
