Films We Love :: Bouncing Cats by Nabil Elderkin
Just watched this trailer with my mouth wide open. Nabil is a force of nature behind a camera. Over the years, his collaborations with music’s brightest stars has brought out some of the most stunning visuals to date. Straight love the man! Happy to see him expand a story into what looks like an incredibly uplifting piece of art, music and humility. Can’t wait to see this one!!! – Jaws Truly
music/videos we love :: mos def – supermagic
Photographer + Music Video Director Nabil Elderkin has quickly become one of my favorite image makers this year. From the multi-layered “T.I.A” music video for K’naan to his black + white mini-horror music video for Kanye West’s “Paranoid”, to this trippy one shot take of Mos Def rapping in image trails. The boy’s been in a ZONE! With a steady growing stable of music videos and promos, Nabil has proven he’s one to watch…
K’Naan, MC + Musician :: 120 Seconds
Somali MC & musician Knaan shares his views on language as not only a tool for communication but also as a cultural carrier and its influence in the way we view ourselves and our surrounding environment.
Sol Guy, TV Producer + Activist :: 120 Seconds
Vancouver based 4Real co-founder, Sol Guy emphasizes the importance of dreams, our power to manifest them and ultimately how beneficial it is for us all to make them come true.
Music We Love :: K’Naan
Somali MC and musician K’Naan was in town from Canada shooting a music video for his upcoming single “ABCs” with none other than Chubb Rock! We had a great time getting to know K’Naan and we think you will too. He blew our minds with his views on language as a cultural carrier and it’s use within colonization. K’Naan has collaborated with Youssou N’Dour, Mos Def, Nelly Furtado, M1 from Dead Prez and other great artists. Make sure you look out for his upcoming album, Troubadour.
