"My Life" the Extra Plair behind-the-scenes edition.

Earlier this week we released the video for the song "My Life" off of our EP BRB...(which drops August 28th on www.SlapRapz.com)  I've been doing videos for years now, but this process was the most I'VE ever put into one 5 minute piece of work.  Honestly though, what made this whole thing special were the plairs involved that helped make it the epic magnum opus that it is.

Melz

A few years ago we introduced a character in our "Pay Us No Mind" video called the HATER played by the homie Gargameljermel of Hotbox254 Productions.  The irony is that he is indeed one of our biggest supporters and colleagues in our various endeavors.  When I told him he was basically going to get his ass kicked in a video he didn't even flinch, that's real thugged out living right there.

Cientifiq

J.C.

The two antagonist in this "evening gone wrong" depiction were played by the brothers (and not cool hip-hop jive talky brothas, REAL BROTHERS) CientifiQ, and J.C.  I really shouldn't have to introduce Q, but for the slow ones or folks new to Crew54, he's the producer behind SlapRapz.  His brother, J.C., is just just that dude.  I'm grateful to them for putting up with shoots, reshoots, and everything we went thru to get this done.

Miss B

I gotta give a special shout to Miss B for making special cameo as the girl who throws drink on me.  If you watch the video and follow the story it kinda covers up a mistake I made during shooting.  You can see more of her (and I mean more) in a special Crew54 commercial we shot earlier this year.

Carter Arrington

S. Kilz

Featured here I have the behind the scenes pieces of this puzzle that really steal the show.  Up top is the amazingly talented Carter Arrington.  We've watched him play around ATX with some of our favorite bands, with a soul that is untouchable.  He layed down a guitar solo that I personally can listen to above all the raps. Then we have the super producer himself s.killz.  We came to this man wanting to do a project with a different sound and he knocked it out of the park.  Gotta luh dat.

Not picture here is Miss Melli Melz, who I also want to thank for allowing us to come up in her crib and be in the video without any real warning.  She held it down like a G.  Now, go watch the video again.
