Directed by Kahlil Joseph, the video showcases a melody of three songs from Shafiq’s album, Shafiq En’ A-Free-Ka. Exhibiting advance mutations in hip hop, soul, and jazz, this video captures iconic hotspots like World on Wheels and the coolness that comes from jamming with a couple of friends.

Ask yourself this question, when was the last time you have seen a music “movie” like this? I know.

On a day like this, the work is piling up and my urge to surf the web or dive into some juicy gossip is too strong.  I created this playlist to be the magic pill or  that 5 hour energy drink. I pray that it will keep you focused….Wait, who am I kidding, right?

Their mixtapes expands music culture.Circulates the perfect moment inspired songs into your genius lists. You know the ones I am talking about. When you sitting on the ground. Knee deep in files (stuff) and sorting files (stuff) in your house. Not paying attention to what’s playing, but all of a sudden you glance outside.

A bird goes by. You hear a person yelling at a bus. And then that song comes into rotation and it seems to piece everything together in a perfect unison.

Still Bill Trailer from STILL BILL on Vimeo.

Last night I had the pleasure of attending a viewing of the documentary, Still Bill. A documentary on the legendary musician Bill Withers. I came away inspired and wishing he lived on my suburb cul-de-sac.

Still Bill is available for purchase and if you do purchase Still Bill, invite some friends over and watch it together. Its just that good.
