MAESTRO KNOWS SEASON 3 EPISODE 1 (9TH WONDER)

Maestro Knows - Episode 1 (9th Wonder) from Maestro Knows on Vimeo.


"In this episode Maestro kicks off season 3 with his friend 9th Wonder in North Carolina. 9th speaks on Fruity Loops, good music, teaching an upcoming course at Duke University and cooks up a beat for Maestro's new intro."

Maestro is back again with another episode for all the hip hop heads, featuring 9th Wonder. I honestly think 9th Wonder should be considered one of the top producers in hip hop but since everything is commercialized these days and the target audience for the majority of big artist aren't into the underground scene, 9th Wonder doesn't get the shine he deserves. A lot of folks I talk to, they are familiar with 9th Wonder from Jay-z's "Threats", but I urge people to check out his work with Little Brother and Murs. He got some of the dopest beats out there...get in tuned. Shout outs to Maestro Knows for pushing the envelope!!

Maestro Knows - NYC Edition (13th Witness) from Maestro Knows on Vimeo.


Dope ass episode man, Maestro keeps on delivering and they got a collaborative website coming soon. The way this was shot was seriously dope and the cameo from Nigel make this episode a classic. I really love 13th witness' work because it's kind of what my blog stands for, priceless creativity and embracing the martian within you, the other creative side of you, the nature side of your human realm, not NURTURED. Anyways, enjoy the episode and I will keep y'all posted and these dudes' work.

GOOD WOOD "BLACK JESUS PIECE"



Wuss good martians? So, I found this piece and the news behind it last monday, I think, and I was excited because I've always wanted something like this. I am all about crosses and I rock them all the time and I got one that I rock everyday, religiously, moms gave it to me. Anyways, when I saw Good Wood was releasing this, I was thankful and excited at the same time. Went through ups and downs to get my piece, and I got it at the end of the day. Originally, I wanted two pieces but the online store only accepts paypal and i didn't have an account, anyways, managed to get one through my boy Dj Freaky Fred, shout outs to Fred.


Today, I hit up one of my favourite blogs, Kanye's blog and he's actually discouraging people from purchasing the black jesus piece. Now, with all due respect, I'm a huge fan of Kanye's and if you've ever been to my blog, you'd see that I never post anything negative about anything or anyone, dats not my lane. With that being said, I think it's wrong for Kanye to discourage people from purchasing something that is creative, dope and for others, a resemblance of christ which holds the same value as a cross. Jesus pieces are not trademarked, copyrighted or patented by anyone, therefore, trying to discourage people from buying a product that is provided by ambitious people that are not discrediting Kanye in any kind of way, but just trying to create something people love, want and respect, is wrong. We don't need anyone to tell us what to buy or not to buy, especially if the product is not fraudulent. We all can't afford expensive black diamond Jesus pieces and if this is our way of holding and owning a similar product, we do have the right to do so. Just to let y'all know, this piece created a huge buzz and it was a successful sell.


Anyways, there are more pieces dropping soon, different colours and I want y'all to know that I'm going to be copping two of each every time they drop. I'm officially a fan of Good Wood and the work they do and they also do custom pieces so I might get one of those too. Well, if you want to learn more, check out GoodWoodNYC. Important info, only 3 pieces per person. Shout outs to Maestro Knows and Chris Lee to introducing this piece to the masses, they put me on it. P.S GOOD WOOD BLACK JESUS PIECES IS WHAT I CALL PRICELESS CREATIVITY.
