You are not ready for my narration prowess!
But nah, in all seriousness…this documentary is super dope. Be on the lookout for it on March 9th…shout to the fellas, Chris London, DRG Films, and everyone involved for letting me be a part of it.
Yessir! It’s getting closer and closer to the release of DRG Films’ documentary on U-N-I & Ro Blvd.’s A Love Supreme project.
*cough* narrated by yours truly *cough*
Also, Y-O and Thurzday leaked a new track off the upcoming re-release of the album, due out February 23rd.
Enjoy!
The homey Casey linked up with the other homies Thurz & Y-O for an interview at their Neumos show the other day in Seattle. Homies everywhere!
Look out for the A Love Supreme documentary to drop soon, narrated by yours truly…
ahhhh, the homies! Good times y’all…
When Thurz & Y-O were in town last month for Bumbershoot, they brought this video up for the 206 fam (peep Y-O’s fresh Hawks hat) to check out. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m continually impressed by the visuals U-N-I release, and even though this video wasn’t done by their longtime collaborator Tomas Whitmore (Fredo Tovar handled this one), it still came out super dope.
Great track made even better with an ill video. If for some reason you don’t have it, grab the audio off the Before There Was Love mixtape.

Anyone who follows TAOD knows that last week marked Seattle’s annual music & arts festival, Bumbershoot. J. Moore and I have hosted the main stage hip-hop show for the past few years, but this time around, I had the special pleasure of not only being on the “Bumberboard” that helped plan the entire event, but I even got to perform by DJ’ing for the homies U-N-I.
Thurzday and Y-O took to the Fisher Green Stage (alongside artists like Mayer Hawthorne, Janelle Monae, De La Soul, and more) to rock in front of an enthusiastic crowd. We ran through a high energy set including tracks like “Cali Soul,” “Beautiful Day,” “Land Of The Kings,” “Supreme,” “K.R.E.A.M.,” “Hollywood Hiatus,” and more. Aside from the classicness that occurs at 1:29, the highlight has to be “Supreme.” The kids were wylin’ out to that one and both Y-O and Thurz got some crowd surfing in.
I had a really good time all weekend, so big shouts to everyone involved: One Reel, the artists, KUBE, the homies, the new folks I met, and [Jay-Z] most importantly, you, the customer [/Hov!]. If I have time, I’ll be posting up some more footage of various Bumbershoot performances here on TAOD. Stay tuned.

Yes y’all, Bumbershoot Festival is finally here and it’s all set up to be a big weekend at the Seattle Center. Come through the Fisher Green Stage (the big one right in the middle near the fountain) at 5:45pm on Saturday to see U-N-I, featuring yours truly on the 1’s and 2’s, though I’d recommend getting there early at 4pm to see Mayer Hawthorne too. De La Soul will be on that same stage at 9:30pm as well.
I’ll also be helping introduce the homies the Knux and the Black Eyed Peas on the main stage Monday, but to check out the full line up, click here.
Yo…my people are DOIN’ IT y’all!
It’s so great to see two of my favorite people in the industry, Thurz & Y-O, really start to take off and make some major moves. This track was produced by Ro Blvd (who gets a quick cameo in the clip as well), but it’s not from their Love Supreme project. Instead, it was a special song and video commissioned by Mountain Dew’s Green Label Sound, closely affiliated with the FADER Label and my folks at Cornerstone. Just like our collaboration with GLS, the project turned out great and this clip is yet another stellar music video in U-N-I’s library. Do your thing fellas…
Sidenote, be on the lookout for the official Love Supreme documentary coming soon from DRG Films. You just might recognize one of your favorite DJ’s as the narrator…nomorganfreemano.
Man, I’m kinda speechless right now. The homies Y-O and Thurz have really outdone themselves with the new clip for “Hollywood Hiatus” off A Love Supreme. Much respect to super director Tomas Whitmore who has directed all their clips (and El Prez’ “UAINTUPONTHIS!”), and they seem to get better each time. All these joints are smashing major label videos right now.
Cop that Love Supreme if you haven’t already…hint: it’s free!
I take a huge L for not posting the new album from the longtime homies Y-O and Thurzday until a full 2 days after it dropped. Argh @ me being super busy, but at least I’m finally getting this up here. Besides, if you’re up on things, you should have already grabbed this. If not, head on over to YOThurz.com and download the masterpiece.
I’ve been looking forward to this ever since Y-O and Thurz first talked about it damn near 2 years ago. Then they came up to Sound Session at the end of last year and played us the snippets and I really got hype. Now it’s finally here in full. Ro Blvd on the beats, Yonas & Thurz on the mic.
