Music videos have always been a huge part of my production portfolio. I love music and the first footage I ever shot, some behind the scenes footage, I turned into a very UNofficial music video. But at the time, it was enough to get me to believe in myself. No matter how large the portfolio grows, I'll always come back home.
This time I linked up with long time friend and client Carlos Ferragamo. We have worked together for the past 5 years and built a relationship on trust, work ethic and an aligned vision. Carlos' music is reminiscent of what this generation calls "old school" hip hop. In other words, today hip-hop is reduced to entertainment. Without dropping names, there are several artists that still believe in the artistry (several that get rotation, of course there are many more!). Let's be honest, if the industrie's focus is to be "entertaining," or distracting as I call it, then that sounds off a call to those that truly believe in the art form to make authentic music that resonates in people's soul. People who accept their purpose to deliver a message, to inspire, rather than to be entertaining. Carlos Ferragamo is one of those artists, and has been since I've known him. That being said, I love 2 Chainz. But he is more
Deshawn Raw to me than 2 Pac.
