My Interview with Phony PPL

Jabari — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:01:03 +0000

I always love talking to new artists, especially ones that are doing something completely different from their peers. Phony PPL is exactly that, a young group of talented musicians hailing from Brooklyn who are introducing their version of hip-hop soul.

I sat down with the group in front of their studio in Bed-Stuy, to talk about their new album Phonyland and how they developed their sound. Check out the latest episode of Face to Face on BET.com!

My Interview with Fat Trel

Jabari — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 04:56:36 +0000

DC’s newest hip-hop star Fat Trel has had a wild life. Growing up in the go-go music driven Northeast neighborhood of Washington, D.C., Trel’s odds at becoming a successful rapper were slim. I spoke to the DC native about his love for his hometown, getting shot by his good friend, and how listeners are in for a treat with his upcoming project “Nightmare on E Street”.

Thank you to everyone who came out to my birthday party this past Friday. I had an amazing time and I think everyone in the building did as well. We tried a little something different and had a special surprise guest whom you may have seen singing “N**gas in Paris” on the NYC subway. Check out the video!

Tinie Tempah – You Know What

Jabari — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 05:55:33 +0000

I directed Tinie Tempah’s latest music video for “You Know What” off of his Happy Birthday EP. This was a very fun/tiring shoot as we shot the video literally right after he stepped out of the booth to record the song. I’ve never done that in my life but I think we both realized what type of commitment it takes if you really want to be in this game that night when we wrapped the shoot at 8AM. Hope you enjoy, peace.
