The Life...
FULL CRATE'S SHE WAS FLY
Thursday, February 12th 2009
Eric Bana a.k.a. Miguel Crispy Lips a.k.a. The Tremendous Bana Boy Wonder a.k.a. Ba-na-na-rek a.k.a. Tip Twister a.k.a. DJ, producer and sound engineer Narek Nikoghosyan (better known as Full Crate) produced the song She Was Fly a few weeks ago. He asked his buddy Mar to do some vocals on the track, and Crate decided the song needed a video starring our mesmerizing homegirl Taina Moreno. Gossip Tim shot a picture which I molded into the cover art for this online release. Check out the video shot and edited by Justus Engelbracht HERE
I NEED A TRUSTY SIDEKICK!
Monday, February 9th 2009
The all new mixin is about to pop off! And I can't do all the work by myself. So the lords of MC told me I could go out and get some creative back-up. So this is the deal... I need an intern, a trusty sidekick. An independent powerhouse that thinks with me and quickly acts when a ball gets dropped. Someone with a gang of different skills, humor and knowledge. A young baw$, a creative superhero. Could YOU be my Kato?
PARTY LIKE A ROCK STAR
Tuesday, February 3rd 2009
The Amsterdam Fashion Week 2009 is a done deal. I was able to see some thangs, but I must say I wasn't impressed. But hey... What do I know 'bout fashion? So I'll just keep my mouth shut. What I do know is that I had tons of fun at one of the afterparties! Big up to Danny J. Flashy Flash, Bennie Branko, Hesdy "Spike Lee" Lonwijk, King Nasrdin, Jimmy Aasgier and ms. Moibe a.k.a. Tigressa. Your couch is hella orange! Oh and follow ya boy! I joined Twitter. What is Twitter? Watch THIS. twitter.com/brianelstak

Monday, January 12th 2009
Thriller Agency photographer Dennis Branko shot this picture of me, actrice Anna Drijver and superstar Danny J. Flashy Flash (Daniel J. Ashes) during a special house party. I really like this one.
