David: Yung Lotta x Lark On My Go Kart (FreeStyle) [Music Video]

Yung Lotta

I was first introduced to Yung Lotta from my good friend, Frendy Lemorin, after he sent me his video for "Thrilla N Manila." Now, Lotta is back with a new video for his freestyle over Asher Roth's song, Lark On My Go Kart. I'm digging this song and video a lot more than Asher's version. Check it out below!

David: New York City Trip with Sarah Kjelleren

Sarah Kjelleren & myself

Minus the Thanksgiving and family festivities that have been going on the last couple of days, last Friday (11/19) till Tuesday (11/23) I was in New York City with my amazingly talented friend and photographer, Sarah Kjelleren. New York City is like a second home to me and I love going in to get away from everything going on in Vermont, but this trip was a little different. Of course many of the long time TKFV readers are probably familiar with our "Sarah Kjelleren Photo of the Week" post, have seen her work, and recognize the name in this writeup, but probably do not know that she had never been to New York City before this trip. So when the opportunity came along to bring her with me I couldn't pass it up. 

Day 1:

Brad Digital

The first day wasn't the most exciting since we were just arriving after a five and a half hour drive from Vermont, but I checked into my hotel and brought Sarah to our friend Crystal Potvin's dorm where she was staying. Right after we went down to my friend Brad Digital's store, Little Brooklyn, in SoHo located on Kenmare and Elizabeth, we got dinner at this Hispanic restaurant with him and his intern, Hannah Jade. Then followed that with a few parties, but nothing too intense. Just a simple and average day.

Day 2:

Great $cott

The second day was definitely the most eventful of them all. We started off at Brad Digital's store again and Sarah had her first photo shoot with Great $cott, CEO of The Liaison Group (link is to a good article about Great $cott and the company). I did a little shopping at Brad's store and picked up two pairs of jeans (the kinds that everyone has to stop and say, "Where did you get those?"), a t-shirt, a pair of limited Tokyo edition converses, and a reversible jacket (which Brad described as a good getaway jacket in case you shoot someone in the club). 

Afterwards I ran over to meet with the owner and two other guys from NoLabel Watches, talked business, and they hooked me up with one of their watches. Definitely a huge shout out to these guys and another look at the post I put up of them and Cavi Sports last week. Loved the vision and ideas they have in that company at the moment.

Red NoLabel Watch

While I was out with NoLabel, Brad Digital took Sarah Kjelleren, Crystal Potvin, and Hannah Jade around SoHo for a bit and ran into Ricky of Dee & Ricky.

Then after my NoLabel meeting was done Sarah Kjelleren, Brad Digital, and myself headed over to a Richie Rich POPLUXE (link to an article about the runway show during New York Fashion Week) event where Sarah quickly fell in love with New York City in a heartbeat.

Richie Rich

Richie was definitely a cool and relaxed guy, and he definitely wasn't afraid to pose for pictures at all haha. To be able to talk and hangout with one of the most well known stylists and designers in the industry was a lot of fun though. Sarah even got one of the POPLUXE shirts and I joked with her about how one of her first New York City photo shoots was with Richie Rich.

Day 3:

Crystal Potvin & myself

On the third day we were all tired out from Saturday night, so we decided to take this day off for the most part and do a little bit of shopping. I showed Sarah around SoHo, my favorite place in town, a little more and stopped at places like Opening Ceremony, Oak, Uniqlo, and stopped to see some of my homies Gabriel Acevedo, of the ninGa turDels, and Frendy Lemorin at the Bape store.

Day 4:

Frendy Lemorin

On our last full day in the city, Sarah and I met up with Frendy Lemorin to do a quick photo shoot (click the link to see most the photos featured on Frendy's site). It was funny because they had been planning this photo shoot for years and it finally happened just last week. For those that don't know of Frendy either, I used to work with him on his old blog, *General-Made. This dudes like an older brother to me.

To end the day we met up with designer/stylist Ugo Mozie, trend reporter and media personality, Daver Campbell, the owners of Nous Sommes, and designers/stylists/models Coco&Breezy for dinner in Union Square.

Once again New York City has brought me another good trip and it was great to be able to experience it with none other than Sarah Kjelleren.

David: Frendy Lemorin x The Yellow Brick Road: Vladimir Calixte

Above is the 5th episode of Frendy Lemorin's documentary series, "The Yellow Brick Road," featuring Haitian-American Comedian/Actor Vladimir Calixte. Known for his comedic skits featuring his alter-ego 'Haitian V,' Vlad wants the world to see that his talents surpass one character. In this episode we take a sneak peak into his personal life. He discusses growing up as a Haitian American, as well as the difficulties that are faced in the entertainment industry.

I was very impressed with how this video turned out. I enjoyed the last four (which you can find on Frendy's vimeo page or personal website), but I thought this one was a major step up. I look forward to the next few episodes to come and definitely give a huge shout out to everything he is doing right now. From first meeting him at the Bape Store in New York City, to working with him over at his first blog, *General-Made, and seeing the creative work and mind of such a great individual continue to expand has truly been an inspiration to me. Frendy is like family to me and without him many of the things I am doing today probably would not be true if he did not introduce me and teach me so many things.

David: TKFV Introduction: Priceless (Rapper)

Priceless

My recent trip to New York City led me to get in touch with Jude, the manager of rapper, Priceless. While making my normal stops in SoHo I ended up chatting with Jude in the Bape store and exchanging business cards and ever since then I was introduced to Priceless' music and have been a fan since the beginning. Finally here is his introduction to the TKFV family and I hope everyone enjoys what they hear as much as I do. Check out his bio below.

Biography:

New York City, the birthplace of hip hop and the place where the game all began.

Born Terrence Rowe, Priceless is exactly what the New York hip hop movement
needs. A product of the infamous Brownsville project in Brooklyn, Priceless is not talking
about slinging rocks and robbing your mom but relates to life, love, respect and the
struggles of breaking into his destiny. Something everyone big or small can relate to. With his current album release, My Movie: Good & Bad Times, tracks like, “My Movie,”
paint a vivid picture of Priceless as he gives his fans a bird’s eye view into his inner
and outer struggles to fulfill his vision. “Rehab Thoughts,” a real testimonial to the
hardships his life has brought into his path and how he overcame them. From the death of his brother to being shot over mistaken identity, Priceless’ keen play on words and heart jilting vibes felt through his music express that Priceless is not a “pretend rapper.” Priceless looks to be himself and only himself as he only knows how. Entrepreneurial skills paired with the gift to communicate truth through rhyme and lyrics makes this future giant a one to watch with a mighty “priceless” future ahead of him.

Priceless' first single, "Wonder Womanz" (featuring Bobby V.):

David: Frendy Lemorin x The Yellow Brick Road: Storyboard

Once again we're back with another Yellow Brick Road interview from my good friends, Frendy Lemorin and Julien Jauniaux. This marks the second episode of the documentary series which features Brooklyn's Premiere Street Dancer, Storyboard! In this interview he speaks about his life, ups and downs on being a Street Dancer, and his efforts in starting his own dance movement.

Below is the first Episode of the Documentary Series " The Yellow Brick Road" produced and hosted by my good friend, Frendy Lemorin and shot & edited by Julien Jauniaux.

And so far after watching this first interview I am impressed with what Frendy and Julien have done. The man they interview, David B.S Bradshaw, is a very smart and interesting emcee living in New York City. But before I give away anymore here's a personal message from Frendy Lemorin:

"It is my up-most pleasure to present to you all the first episode of my documentary! I’d like to give a big shout out to my Cameraman/Editor Julien Jauniaux for doing a great job on this piece. He’s a Genius!"

David: Frendy Lemorin x The Yellow Brick Road (Teaser)

Frendy Lemorin

My man Frendy shot me the link to his new teaser last night and after watching it I can tell this documentary for The Yellow Brick Road is going to be DOPE! In Frendy's own words this is what he has to say about the film:

"In the classic movie The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy & her companions had to travel along the yellow brick road in order to meet the all-knowing Wizard. Without going on that path they all would of never accomplished what they had their mind set for. To me, the yellow brick road represents the grind that one has to go through to achieve their goal, there is no other path that one takes to achieve success in life. Without hard work, dedication, and faith your wildest dreams will never become reality.

We all have an option to quit or follow through, choose your path wisely!"

With that said check The Yellow Brick Road teaser below:
