Moving On From TKFV

It's been a long time since there's been a new post here on TKFV and many of you may be wondering what's been going on.  Over the past few months I've been going to school at the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU, DJing in clubs like 1 OAK NYC and The Darby with and for people like Kanye West, Anja Rubik, and Samantha Ronson, and working with and producing songs for my group, Hugh Cosby & Alan South, and other artists.

I'm posting here today to let everyone know that you can continue to follow me and everything I'm doing for now on my fan page. I will be posting on TKFV again for major updates on new websites and other major things that happen. And I promise, there will be another blog again. But for now check out the link below:

David: Moral Fibers Photo Shoot (Clothing)

Homepage Photo for Moral Fibers (Click the photo to continue onto the website)

A few weeks ago photographer Sarah Kjelleren, model Amy Douglas, and myself went down to NYC to shoot and model for the Moral Fibers 2011 Summer Lookbook. Moral Fibers is a new company based out of Montreal owned by co-founders Matt and Martin. The t-shirts are designed by Haitian artists and have a smart phone QR code printed on the back for potential buyers to scan and check out the shirts on their phones. If the person scanning the shirt decides to buy one, the person wearing the shirt makes money from the purchase. An idea that makes this company extremely unique from the rest. Click the photos for more information and be sure to buy a shirt as well!

David: Mutual of Omaha - My Aha Moment featuring TKFV and Ditto

Recently Josh (Alan South 1/2 of Ditto), Gray, and myself sat down with Mutual of Omaha to share our "Aha Moment."

Gray: Meet Jacob Es

Meet Jacob Es

So far this summer I have met more people in Burlington than I have in the past few years combined. It seems like there is a huge group of kids who end up at the same sort of parties, and who have a lot of thes same mutual friends. While Jake was not an exception to how I met him, after I heard him spit a few verses during a session at his spot, I knew this kid had talent. As I began to kick it more with Jake and his roommate Zach, its pretty obvious that he has the drive and motivation, as well as the work ethic to really produce music that both he and his audience enjoy listening to. He's got a quick flow with good sound, but can also slow it down and show how he too has a voice. You all should check him out and download his latest mix tape, The Stoned Poet Society. We just finished our second shoot for a music video in the works, so stay tuned for that too. Expect big things from Jacob Es, and catch on before the wave gets "too cool".

David: Toony TuneS & Mr. Mockwell x Conducted Sounds Of Drama (Mixtape)

After one full listen all I can say is... DAMN. The homie, Toony TuneS, also seen on TKFV through his posts featured as TheManWithThreeNames, just released this tape with Mr. Mockwell. Everything on this mixtape is very different than what is out right now, which makes it so dope. Everyone get used to this guy now. This is the future. Listen and download it below:

David: Frank Ocean x Lonny Breaux (Mixtape)

This has been out for a minute now, but I've talked to a lot of people and they seem to not know about it, so I'm throwing it up on TKFV for everyone to download that hasn't gotten it. The guys over at KanyeToThe.com compiled this mixtape together with 63 unreleased tracks pre-nostalgia/ultra so if you can’t get enough of Frank Ocean, then you should definitely get The Lonny Breaux Collection. A little fact too, Lonny Breaux was the alias Frank used before he went by Frank Ocean. Download it all below!

David: How to Make Aman's Shrimp in Coconut Cream Sauce (Video)

So, I've never put up any food related posts up on TKFV, but two of my friends, Aman and Larry, did this for a senior project at my old school when I lived in Rhode Island and I thought this was worthy of being thrown up as a post. Also for those heading off to college next year and need to save money from eating out all the time who knows maybe you'll want to make some shrimp with coconut cream sauce. Check out the video below and take notes on how to make this delicious meal:

David: The Weeknd x Rolling Stone (Single)

The Weeknd

The Weeknd, probably my favorite artist out right now, just released this single called, "Rolling Stone." The production on this song is a little different than what you can find on his previously released mixtape, House of Balloons, with a subtle guitar loop while The Weeknd's voice moves easily throughout the track. Definitely a favorite of mine from this guy. Listen and download the track below:

David: TheManWithThreeNameS x VegetableS (Music Download)

TheManWithThreeNameS is Three artists in one: Toony TuneS, PROduce and The Bully. Three varying styles of music from these three artists have made the sound of their music very different then what others have done (in an amazing way). Toony TuneS and myself met out in Los Angeles briefly and have been in contact ever since and anything he puts out seems to be amazing. On this song Toony TuneS lays down the vocals and The Bully raps while PROduce produced this track. Definitely a fan of these guys. Listen and download the song below:

David: Alysha Nett

Alysha Nett (My New Favorite Model)

Since I have known about my acceptance into NYU I haven't been on top of keeping up with TKFV as much as I used to, so I want to apologize for that. Things have been very very very hectic lately in terms of getting things off and running the minute I hit the city next year so it has brought me away from here for a bit. So in the meantime I am going to try as hard as I can to continue to post on this blog because I know you frequent readers are probably wondering where everything went!

To start here's a few pictures of my new favorite model, Alysha Nett. She has one of the dopest looks I have ever seen... Plus I love girls with tattoos. Check them out below:

David: Sarah Kjelleren's Latest Photo Shoot With Amy Douglas

Sarah Kjelleren

It's been awhile since I've featured Sarah Kjelleren on the site, which many of you may remember through the "Sarah Kjellereon Photo of the Week" posts. I've decided to do without that post now because Sarah is constantly coming out with something new that a photo a week just doesn't cut it. Before I get started on this post I'd like to give her a huge congratulations for getting into the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, which means both of us will be sharing the city together! It's going to be a crazy four years that's for sure.

Anyway Sarah's recent photo shoot was with the very beautiful, Amy Douglas. Below is a quick summary that Sarah wrote for the post:

"I met Amy a free months ago after asking her through Facebook if she was interested in modeling. We did a small shoot at a local party and became good friends. On a recent trip to Burlington Vermont, we were staying at my house and had some great ideas for a shoot when exploring my yard. Styling the shoot I decided on a vintage nude colored slip with lace that was previously owned by my grandmother. Amy wore the shoes that she brought with her and we used two vintage mink fur jackets. The temperature dropped fast as it became dark out, but we continued shooting to get the final shots. I was extremely excited about shooting Amy and she did a fantastic time especially for her second shoot. Without previous experience with modeling Amy continued to amaze me with her natural talent for working in front if the camera."

Here's what Amy had to say about the shoot:

"This shoot was a chilling one, literally. Even the cold Vermont air couldn't hold Sarah Kjelleren back from taking fabulous pictures. She made me feel warm, comfortable and beautiful in her vintage styled dress and variety of lovely fur coats. I love being photographed by Sarah because she is not only an extremely talented young lady but she's the coolest, craziest, most down to earth friend anyone could ask for. Her unique style and eye for eccentric and eloquent beauty are portrayed in all of her photos and this shoot is no exception."

David: Two New Music Videos From Vader the Villin!

Vader the Villin in Hawaii

The homie, Vader the Villin, literally just got back from a long trip to Hawaii for a few months and has not wasted a second since he's been back. Below are two videos shot by Duane Peterson here in our hometown Burlington, Vermont. Check them out below:

So far Black Bags by Vader the Villin is my favorite video of his so far. This video was directed by Vader and produced by Sighdafekt.


Hating Hard is also another dope video by Vader that he released yesterday. Different vibe and feeling than Black Bags but amazing once again. The song is produced by KONAMICODE. Check out the video below as Vader sits down and discusses life with Pluto:

David: Gerald Walker to Tour with Yelawolf

Cardo & the homie Gerald Walker have officially signed as an opening act for Yelawolf on his tour this month. I've known Gerald for the past couple of years now and have seen nothing but progression since the time I met him. I have nothing but props to give for him and what he's done. Excited to see what's to come from this tour with Yelawolf!

In celebration of this incredible opportunity he's releasing another song from his EP titled, We Don't Give a Fu-k. The song is produced by both Cardo & Sledgren, of the Taylor Gang, and will be featured on the forthcoming EP, On Your Side. Check it out below:
