The Movements'.......

You guessed it: Moving.

I got wind of this video clip of me that was on you tube. I must say I was impressed. I didn't know I sounded so much like an MC. It was nice to see. I hope you enjoy it. Because of this clip I'm gonna perform more.



My next performance will be at the next "Super Heroes and Rockstars". Check the WB event calendar at

Let me begin by saying...


I hope everyone is well rested... cause I know I aint! Im too busy movin, and if you happen to be well rested that means you can't possibly be movin' wit me, hah. So lets fix that. Tonight our good friends Jason Reynolds and Griffin are having a screen printing party at the Leo Kesting Gallery. Not only will there be great art and beeeeautiful people, there will also be drinks and best part of all is...its a printing party so, bring a shirt, jacket or any other article of clothing you'd like to get tricked out.
The movement is moving.

An Epiphany

...I am about to start this off like one of those child preached sermonettes. About to dust off the Webster and give you a little definition. (clears throat..Ahem)

e⋅piph⋅a⋅ny [i-pif-uh-nee]
a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience.

Now if Chrisette Michele and her music is unbeknownst to you, then consider this your Epiphany.


I had the pleasure to accompany my homeslice, since baby Christ, Elvis, to the Chrisette Michele concert at BB King last week, and I must say it was Ah-May-Zing!

And yes the name is spelled wrong. smh.

But what the signage lacked in spelling it made up for in music, luster, and SHINE!
Not to mention Jesse Boykins III was the opening act, and performed "Panty Hose" with an overly shy female audience guest. (snickers)

Anywho...The album Epiphany is out TODAY (Cinco De Mayo) and for my special people's, it is only $2.99 at Amazon.com for a limited time only. So go out and experience your Epiphany Today!

For the Mother Who Has Everything

If you have the luxury of having a mother who is not computer illiterate and actually knows what a USB is and how to use it, then here is the perfect Mother's Day.

Yes DARLINGS it is a 2.0 GB USB hidden behind a Swarovski Moon Pendant. How bad-ass is that!! Not only is it functional but it doubles as a bangin' necklace. I mean its not really recession savvy at the hefty price of $240, but just think-this lady carried you for 9 months, and then let your big head stretch her va-jay-jay beyond recognition.

It's really only fair. She'll probably just upload pictures of you to carry around her neck.

This My JAMMM!!

Nah. For reals. This is my JAM! At least for the spring/summer '09. Mayor Hawthorne

"Just Ain't Gonna Work Out"

This video I think embodies an all too familiar ritual that we as humans are faced to succumb to at some point. Ah wells. Still cute.

And if this song is just to sappy for you, then I am sure that this next hit will be just perfect.

Le Le - Breakfast,

"Holla Holla Holla , Oatmeal and Granola!!!"

Honestly, I'm a little irate they didn't shout of Turkey Bacon, but it's all good because they used drawings made by Piet Parra. Yes...the same dude that designed the shirt for Jay Dilla and his moms.

Aww Sooky Sooky!

Maxwell's "Pretty Wings" must've have been made in dedication to my infamous "quickie naps." This video is so damn simple, but beautiful in what it has. Man I can't even speak, just look for yourself. Take me higher!!!



I think people are just fascinated with naps on a whole. This video is by Oren Lavie called "Her Morning Elegance" takes a different stance, using stop motion techonology.



I blame Starbucks for the worlds fascination with sleep, since now it has become a rarerity. Oh wells, that is why they reported a 70% decrease in sales in their last fiscal year. Take back your sleep people. Take it back NOW!!

****BLCK****

There's this dope project I'm a part of. Its called "BLCK". And If your black, and aspire to be anything worth being...you need to 'be' here.
(I cut and pasted the info, so if it doesn't sound like my writing....you guessed it...Its not. )

RSVP People! And fast! There's probably like 5 seats left.

FRSH Pulp Sponsored Event
BLCK Premier + Panel Discussion
Hosted by I.M.G + Nakeya B. Photography

Learn. Network. Build. Success is a combination of who you know and what you know. Who you know can open the door and what you know keeps you there and can take you beyond. BLCK is about sharing experiences, gaining new insights and networking with each other so we can all take our aspirations to the next level.

The focus of BLCK is to not exclude other races but to celebrate + acknowledge the accomplishments of four young Black men and share in their experiences. There are so many successful men of color changing the game and making a difference; this is a glimpse of four.

TreVZ Producer. Kareem Black Photographer. Anthony Hudson Associate. Anslem Samuel Journalist.

BLCK will be presented in the form of an exhibit, which will consist of photographs + excerpts from interviews, and a moderated discussion that will explore the role of minorities (past, present and future) in media, music, advertising, marketing and business as well as each individuals journey to where they are now + their contribution to their field.

Also being featured in the same space is Nakeya B., "One Woman, Many Men"

A collection of eight black and white portraits of black men as seen through the eyes of a black woman. This specific perspective is one that has been underrepresented since photography's invention. The images explore the notion of trust and how the factors of race and gender influence them. "One Woman, Many Men" also serves as a platform to deconstruct the "White male" exclusivity associated with photography historically.

Seating is VERY limited and priority will be given to those who RSVP and then on a first come, first seat basis.

BLCK
Monday, May 4
Creative Pier Arts Center, 833 Broadway @ 13th Street
Exhibit opens @ 7PM
Discussion begins @ 8:30PM

There is a $10 donation at the door and light refreshments will be served.
To RSVP, send an email to awright@theimgway.com

Passion Pit

I am so in love with this song, and now that I have seen the video I think that it has me in it grips. I have this song set as my ringtone and I have missed several phone calls because I was too busy dancing to pick up the phone in time.

Anyways, this group Passion Pit I heard about through the whole SXSW hooplah, and I gotta say, loves it.



For a free download of the song, click here.

And this video is soo freakin' dynamic.
