April 1st is the release date of the 'Memories of Axel Foley' soundtrack. 11 heavyweight Dutch producers (Reverse, Abstract, Kubus, FS Green, SirOJ, Full Crate, Hayzee, Felix Laman, Big2, Terilekst and LaupieUNO) made amazing songs inspired by my paintings. The cd will be released through PIAS in a limited edition booklet with a front and back cover. The first cover is that of my expo and the flipside is MIXIN.NL's 'Maak Dingen Or Die Tryin' cover, that features all the names of everyone that worked on this project. Exciting times.
STENDHAL TORI
Thursday, March 10th 2011
On the 6th of March Johan van Aalst was asked to lead one of MC's TORI's. "Tori" is Surinamese for "story". Young JoHAN SOLO asked our gang of mixin culture journalists to add flavor to the day by telling the crowd what their stendhal moments were. My stendhal moment was being mesmerized by four bedroom walls full of Spiderman comics in my cousin Jermaine's room. Watch the TORI here: vimeo.com/21748177

SHOT ME DOWN

I directed a new video called 'Shot Me Down'. I hooked up with Ignjat Miletic & Ewout Zwaagman to create the visuals for this first single off 'Bahtir'. Bahtir is the soundtrack for MC's version of the Suzan-Lori Parks classic play 'Topdog/Underdog'. The entire album is produced by Nav and features rappers ReaZun, Afu Sensi, BLESS en singer Omar Soulay. Watch the vid.
BAHTIR
Friday, January 28th 2011
I asked producer Nav to team up with rappers ReaZun & Afu-Sensi for a new MC Theater soundtrack. Nav & ReaZ brought LA rapper BLESS and singer Omar Soulay to the project entitled 'Bahtir'. We named it that after Nav's father who passed away late 2010. Bahtir is the original soundtrack for MC's version of the Topdog/Underdog play written by Suzan-Lori Parks.
