The Scope: Miguel | “All I Want Is You”
by PAPERBOI PIMPEN on Sep.01, 2010, under RYZE, VID E OZE
Thank God for streaming or we might have never heard this track. Just happened to tune in to KMEL one day and there it was. A perfect blend with some other R&B song of the moment (probably R.O.D. or some shit) and J. Cole swooped in.
I about pressed mute, ’cause I’m not really into dude like that, but then Miguel got to doing his thing. After about a minute more into the track I announced, “I like this shit.”
It’s a shame certain markets (Atlanta) are being deprived of music like this… at least on stations that don’t fall into the underground radio format. I can’t remember hearing it on V103 or 107.9, both of which claim to play the hottest shit out.
Doin’ Work: Live @ The Lyceum (Baton Rouge)
by KS STAFF on Aug.20, 2010, under WORK
Baton Rouge stand up! And go to Lyceum because we said so… LOL!
Seriously though, this is the second flyer we’ve done for Lyceum and are happy to know we’ve made a few friends in the process. The original piece was a little dark. Black and blue, Ciroc sponsored and inspired.
Naturally, the promoter asked us to rework the design, add a little flair and color.
We decided on developing a piece that we think speaks to Louisiana, or at least what we know of it. Hence the horn, vibrant colors and music notes.
Shots out to Dead Game Records, Max Minelli and Kevin Gates! Get home soon pimp!!
As always, if you’re in the area on a Friday, drop by Lyceum and let the folks at the door know KS sent you!
Who Repped B.M.F. The Best?
by KS STAFF on Aug.11, 2010, under THE EARLY EFFECT
Whether you’re aware of the brewing riff between Def Jam artists Young Jeezy and Rick Ross or not is of no consequence. What matters at this point is who came the hardest on the track. With Bun B’s most recent offering, our minds got to wandering… so we had to ask.
Is it Rozay?
Be it a mixtape release or not, he put it out there to begin with. One could argue it made waves due to its title, but bottom line, the shit sounds good. Dude may be a former corrections officer who built his career off another ni**a’s life, but he makes good music. Period.
Did Jeezy flip it?
A known affiliate with founding B.M.F. members, the Hawkinsville native made a home in Atlanta and appears to be very much the little brother to Big Meech and his brother Terry. The interesting thing about Jeezy’s most recent outburst, is it isn’t the first time he attempted to steal Ross’ thunder. (continue reading…)
Doin’ Work: Organo Gold DVD Cover
by KS STAFF on Jul.29, 2010, under WORK
You hear about that once in a lifetime opportunity every now and again, but it’s usually too late right? Most times you probably ignore it don’t you? Well, Organo Gold just might be your chance to be among the first to know… So pay attention! This ain’t SANKA!!
To our knowledge, this network marketing company was instigated in Houston and is spreading fast in Baltimore, Atlanta and various other parts of the country.
We’ve been on the inside developing marketing materials for O.G. for at least two months now and this DVD cover is yet another testament to the power of the product. The best thing about it, for coffee drinkers, is that it supposedly has healthy components which work to increase energy and the like.
It’s simple… It’s Easy… It’s Coffee!
Doin’ Work: Young, Fly & Flashy @ The New Parrish (Oakland, CA)
by KS STAFF on Jul.29, 2010, under WORK
Believe it or not, we put together about three or four different looks for this party. Based on the initial dialogue we had with our client, Tene thought to place a young, fly chick on a white background with palm trees (it’s in Cali), bright sky, etc.
She had some jewels on, so that took care of the “flashy” part we thought… And boy did we think wrong.
Turns out our client wanted a party scene with “flashing lights” and perhaps a “couple” or just a fly chick looking fly… and young… and flashy.
We eventually removed a portion of her top (well, covered it up), turned the daylight into darkness and threw a gang of lights up to brighten it back up.
