This years was arguably the best Paid Dues to date. So many dope performances. Guerilla Union definitely out-did themselves this time around from setup to execution. Every aspect of the overall operation was on point, safe, & secure. The shows were incredible!!!. Our journey this year took on a all day from Hotel to show BTS cover of Panama’s own Los Rakas which we’ll debut on a separate video as well as Part 2 of our coverage. Big shout outs to all who showed us love throughout the day: Krondon, Bizzy Bone, Camron, Los Rakas, Rich N Rude, ASAP Mob, Fashawn, Mac Miller, Kendrick Lamar, DJ Quick, Dilated Peoples, Guerilla Union, Three Six Mafia, & most of all the fans, crowds, and attendees b/c you made the show what it is…Until next year!!!

Monkey Beezness – Way Of The World – PSA

Now anything with a purpose deserves recognition. So for anyone not to watch this videos in my opinion doesn’t care about what’s goin on in our society. I mean could it be presented any more clearly? We need to do more in our communities to stop the violence as well as uplift one another…

Open you mind, eyes, and heart….

Summer of 9five Movie Trailer

The Summer Of 9five from Mike Metcalf on Vimeo.

It’s not just a collection, it’s a straight to TV movie, fules. Extremely high budget and totally serious, The Summer of 9five tells the tale of a skateboarder’s rise to professional fame and inevitable fall back into the gutter… So sick.

A young skateboarder pushes his way into fame and fortune, then snorts his way into the gutter where he is chewed up and spit out the bottom of the porn industry… Blah, blah, blah. Starring Aaron Amerine, Jordan Hoffart and Destiny Papalia.
