Did Sep emerge from thin air? or is he a blast of fresh air lyrically?
Above is some older footage taken of Sep showing you some of his lyrical prowess. THE WHO IS SEP (Mixtape is coming soon) and the project is expected to have features from some really prominent rappers in rap history. Sep embarks on the future...
I came by way of this news through DJ PREMIER'S BLOG, and I just wanna say for the record (R.I.P. to Guru and L.I.P. (Live in Peace) to DJ Premier, because if it weren't for those two men the Hip Hop/Jazz Genre may never have rose to the heights that it did in the mid 80's and that birthed the jazz influences in hip hop throughout the 90's.
Many of the legendary groups that dominated 90's Hip Hop had fall outs and differences of opinion, it was the trend of a changing music industry where some would say it went from great music to worse; and the politics that strangled rap music evidently did the same to the group that so many loved called Gang Starr. I look at these occurrences in music not with sadness but with an awakened optimism; for they are the lessons left for me to learn, and Guru was and is the right kind of example to learn from.
Th scandal that's ensued between the various parties all vying for control of who get's to handle Guru's affairs is the right of no one else but Guru (who made a choice by choosing that person to be his 7 year friend and producer Solar, probably his right of attorney in all legal matters). I respect Guru's decision, but I don't respect all of Solar's decisions to date. I applaud DJ Premier for posting up the information that has informed fans even if the official letter written by Guru's hand doesn't speak that favorably of DJ Premier (it shows class and respect on his part).
There has been a lot of confusion as to how Guru would have been able to write a letter given his condition at the time of Guru's final statement (some even suspect malicious tampering and manipulation by his current producer Solar). Regardless of whatever version of the story you want to ascribe to, one thing is for certain, Guru is now freed from the suffering that came as a result of the Cancer that he contracted; and for that at least his fans are grateful. May his music live in the hearts and minds of those who truly honored his style of Hip Hop, and maybe because of him in some small way Hip Hop is still not dead. I will endeavor to do my part to keep it alive also through the works of my movement I AM IN DEMAND.COM.
Behind the Scenes of the 1st shoot, from a sky rise Balcony in downtown Toronto. An Artist in the making...

He's a Prodigy of I AM IN DEMAND.Com and Whole Wheat Brothers Music. This is a view of me on deck as I observe the workings on set, one of the locations was near Dundas Square in Downtown Toronto. We got metric tons of brilliant footage to be edited and I'm hoping my blog readers love this authentic sounding Hip Hop Video (the beat produced by I AM IN DEMAND.COM).
Looking over the drawings (because every proper video has a storyline) and these were some of the depictions that were sketched by the Direction Crew. Working with Director Andre Rehal was a pleasure and a learning experience.

This was on (Day 3) of 'Sep's Video "Dot City" in the broken down Toyota Corolla as stated in the actual song itself...so he's showing you his humble beginnings before you can see his eventual growth as it is right now! Watching Sep's humility while on set was a reminder to me of just how sincere I found him to be as a lyricist, this guy always keeps it 100% real!!!

Director Andre Rehal and his crew took shots from the hood of the car & then they took shots from the side with another kind of Cam, always changing the lens for different kinds of wide views. If you look closely (the picture below) at the display screen attached to the camera you can see a shot captured of 'Sep' wearing his hat while in the back seat...lol.

Needless to say...it was long hours...sometimes repetitive, but overall enjoyable, because nothing feels better then the feeling of accomplishment. And after each of the shoots on each of the 3 days we'd all go out like one big family and have a celebratory dinner (Mozel Tov), excited about creating another piece of what will be Toronto's legend.
Pay attention to real wizardry and the art of wordplay! Few can do it like Jay Electronica!!!
I never got shook up by talks of Illuminati I'm from where niggas talk that talk then walk around the streets all day carrying heat like the human body stress -- we mastered that death -- we laugh at that!
DOOM also known as the Madvillain is a real underground kinda MC whose albums have garnered fan followings throughout the years (it's funny because I own more DOOM rap CD's then I do Mos Def, and Def is more mainstream and one of my favorite rappers as well). Here below Mos talks about DOOM and his lyrics...
