The Audacity of Dope

The big homey Cool Nutz stopped by SNSS this past week and just dropped some new visuals for “Baseball Numbers” off Incredible.  Seattle folks can catch him at 88 Keys with Mistah F.A.B. and others Thursday night!

Quick update this week with three main points:

• Shout to a Northwest hip-hop legend and pioneer, Cool Nutz for sitting in with us on this week’s SNSS and co-hosting.  Cool Nutz founded his Jus Family record label in 1993 and has been a staple of the NW scene for years, both in the booth and the community.  His new project, Incredible, is in-stores now…cop that – http://www.myspace.com/coolnutz

• Another shout to the homey Outasight for letting us world premiere the title track from his upcoming mixtape, Never Say Never.  OU is one of our favorite artists and with his recent signing to Warner Bros., it’s only a matter of time before his shine extends from the blogosphere and those of us in the know, out to the general public.  So when Becky in Bellevue says she likes his sunglasses, remember where you heard him first.

• Don’t be mad, Hyphen is hiring!  As I mentioned previously, I got a nice little promotion at the day job and as a result, I’ll be hiring for an open position within the Client Services department at ScreenPlay, Inc..  In short, this job will involve networking with movie studios to acquire and catalog their promotional video content and assist with managing a few of our select accounts.  Don’t get intimidated by the job posting…to succeed, you’ll just need to be a movie lover, tech savvy, organized, hard working, and gregarious.  It’s somewhat of an entry level position, but it’ll be fun, plus you get to work with me there are areas for growth.  Please check out our website – www.screenplayinc.com – and the job posting – http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/tfr/1872285224.html .  Feel free to spread it around to anyone who might be interested and hit me if you have any questions at all.

The new Canon 7D camera apparently shoots incredible video.  Peep this clip from aspiring filmmaker Brandon Moza walking around Vancouver, set to Radiohead’s “Go Slowly.”

It’ll cost you a pretty penny…emphasis on the pretty.

Sure, it’s lost some of its luster after Fed was upset in the finals, but this shot from over the weekend was still absolutely incredible.  Great stuff.

Shout to The Smoking Section for finding the clip online.
