Exploring Hip Hop and Electronic Music While Helping To Make Your DJ Dreams a Reality
247 is a good friend of mine here in town, but more importantly he’s the hidden force behind a lot of great things happening in Nashville! 247 has done a lot of production for other artists around town, including my friend Spoken Nerd. I’ve told you about him before because he’s one-third of The Billy Goats. Also, he appeared on the Machismo EP.
One of my favorite things he’s done was his project with BlackatSylvesta & Ugly Lovely called Out of Place. 247 is the main lyricist in the project. You can get their entire Genetic Defects album for free by going to the Out Of Place Bandcamp page. Or just play it here.
He’s been doing a lot of video production as well. Recently, he began an online interview series highlighting some of his favorite artists around Nashville. You can catch interviews he’s done with James Fate, Bobby Exodus & Spoken Nerd on his youtube channel. Finally, I was able to “take my talents” to 247′s place and shoot an interview video plus a live performance featuring Jed Smith on drums. Take a look!
Most people from my high school days frequently get at me on Facebook to say, “Wow, I didn’t know you were into music now!” They only know me as the quiet drama kid. For the first time, people from my life now are saying, “I didn’t know you were into acting too!” Last week, a commercial aired, in which I was the main character. This is a really short commercial but I’m very pleased with it. We shot two days worth of footage to get just 30 seconds. But that’s OK!
Here it is on youtube:
