Koopa x HF x DMV x Ink Camp
First and foremost, Chamillionaire (My 2nd fav rapper), once again has put out another hit. This track is off the chain...its called "Patron" featuring Bobby V. If Koopa is smart, he'll release this as a single, hot for the radio and a club-banger, and I don't even drink! (for this w/questions...nope never have) He's been dropping a lot of freestyles, especially since his album "Venom" drops early February Check it out:
Other than that, over the month I've been working hard as usual, trying to make a name for myself. I've got the opportunity to do the photography at more parties, including ones featuring artists Webbie & Yung LA. Got the chance to meet both of them and speak a lil bit with them, both 2 cool, laid back dudes.
Thanksgiving. Welcome back to the DMV for me. Spent time with the fam, picked up a lot of new clothes, but the vacation wouldn't be a vacation without putting in a lil "werque". Met up with 2 DMV rappers...Lyriciss & Mag Dollars, we met up at the Morgan Boulevard Metro Station to do a Hollagraphy Photoshoot. It was cold outside but we got it in, just a lil something for a future step for unity/working together for the DMV. So shouts to & Lyriciss & Mag for that joint.
The homie Tyrone with Brightwood Entertainment has began the release of their magazine (Twenty4Seven Magazine), and is sending out copies to major cities around the country. Not to mention that the HF ad for Holla Fashions, Hollagraphy, and Holla Creative is in the first issue. So thats a real good look.
Tyrone & PrincessKenya got the chance to record the HF Song for future promotion & commercial usage. The track came out hot! Real creative work, I put it in their hands and let them do it however they wanted since they know me better than most. This is one track that I'm not leaking, we're gonna do this the right way. 2010 is gonna be a great year and all I know is that something gotta pop off next year...I've been patience and I've put it well more than enough work, time to turn it up a lot. But before 2010 is here, 2009 is still not over...So this week I will be releasing the newer women's HF tees in the store What Women Want: Clothing & Accessories (Clarksville, TN ONLY). Each tee is one of a kind, so that means supplies are limited.
Got in a promo photoshoot with Ms.Smith for the HF tee release promotion. It was a quick shoot, wasn't as long as usual, but it did the job...came out real nice. Also got in a Hollagraphy Shoot with Ink Camp Tattoo Studio a couple of days after...Shout out to my tat2 artist J.Rose & Ink Camp.
I was planning on releasing the tees tomorrow (monday) but I might end up pushing it back a few days because I want to get in a shoot with 2 other models I have interest in. So we'll see how that goes, classic work of course ;). Oh yea, even tho myspace is kinda wack now...check out the new layout!

I guess I'm blogging finally because I finally got all my work out the way...not used to the free time on my hands, its kinda boring. Christmas is coming up and I'm expecting it to be real boring. Not expecting gifts but I'm old enough not to worry about that. Other than that I'm getting V6 together...in my head of course, stay tuned...more creativity for the world to experience later.
Break to Build.

Lyriciss x Mag Dollars x Holla = Do it For DMV
When I was home in the DMV for the holidays I got the chance to do a shoot with 2 DMV music artists...Lyriciss Flowz and Magnum Dollars. Originally, the shoot was planned to be for more than just the 2 DMV but to include as many of the DMV artists, producers and people putting on for the area in general...just something for DMV unity. Something just to have fun and bring us all together, especially since I don't get the chance to go home much. I hit up different people on facebook and posted several Tweets on twitter about it 2 months in advance. The only ones who came thru was these 2 but no love lost...we made it happen. Also shout out to Southeast Slim because he did let me know that he wouldn't be able to make it. But there is always next time. The shoot came out real good. We didn't have much time especially due to the holidays. It was cold as hell outside lol but we still had fun while doing it.
Make sure you check out both artists!

Wale x Holla Creative = Artistic Integrity
Couldn't sleep, creativity running through my veins, and as always...music in my ears for inspiration. Was listening to the Wale's "The Artistic Integrity" on the Mixtape About Nothing and decided to put together something raw while taking a break from work for clients. Another night of not sleeping, lol but thats normal for me. "5am is the new 5pm!"

[Wale]
Never will I ever utter never to myself
Fall in love with defeat, throw my endeavors on the shelf
I never back up like Cleo Lemon on myself
Lemonade connoisseur life's lemons coming out
When life gets sour know I still devour
I remember Peabody mice crawling up the shower
Now it's motorbikes, warm nights out in Maui
And white bitches and light skinned women be smilin'
DC star, a PG legend
Mogul phenomenon holmes I'm all of it
Yeah, they all love it though critique Jon Lovitz
And whack hoes hatin' on key out in public
See, welcome to fame where most of us is gon' change
If you never do, still niggas look at you strange
Niggas mostly assume, niggas make up they news
Once you made it you cool, they label you brand new
Really in subconscious
They see a star no longer the underdog
So nobody wanna walk with ya
They all talk like you think you was a god n'shit
But you the same that you always is
Yeah, they all convinced but all for shit
This all be different if you had an office key, yeah
And I'm the same, on e'erything I love, or everything I love
Please pardon my integrity
--------------
Also the HF Website has been down for about a week, but I just want to let yall know that its back up and running. I also took the time out to update it a little while planning out version 6.

Chamillionaire x New Video = Venom coming Feb 2nd
Can't wait for Koopa's new album dropping the 2nd of feb, I'm gonna have to get this one too. Check out the new video...."Good Morning", this video is hot, real creative.
Wale x Attention Deficit = Released + Copped Today.
Wale: Attention Deficit
Wonderful day for the DMV. The "Attention Deficit" album dropped today, and I see a lot of people from the area supporting it. Thats what we gotta do, is support our artists, and that starts with Wale. After that...comes all the other DMV artists in line. I was gonna get 2 copies, I ended up buying the last copy in the store. I've been listening to it, haven't heard the entire album yet but so far its dope....oh yea and Jasmine Sullivan murdered the track she on. I was surprised Nike Boots didn't make the album but its still solid. So make sure yall check it out! BUY THE ALBUM! This is the first album that I have actually BOUGHT in years, and it was worth every penny. DMV is showing progression, we need that!
Also copped Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 today..damn its like Christmas, lol this game is TOO damn hot!! I think I been playing too much, taking a break cuz I started to get dizzy. If you got xbox live then add me to ur friends list... "Holla 301"

Summer in Autumn
Finished the shoot with Summer Berry yesterday, the shoot came out great. It was actually done in someone's front yard, and yes...of course I asked permission to use their front yard. It was the perfect setting, it was very windy outside but we were able to complete the shoot before the storm came.
Madden Moments
Just some of my legendary plays against my opponents online. Right now my online record is 13-8 on xbox live, and my offline record is 43-10 (via easports.com) So if you wanna play, add my gamertag "Holla 301", I'm always on.

Creative Inspirations at the slightest...
Sitting here wondering how an idea so simple can inspire me so much. This is not a creation done by me, it was created by an artist named Brock Davis. I seen this when I was browsing on the Behance Network site. Shows me that stuff doesn't always have to be complicated, sometimes simplicity works best.
Just a few from a series he calls "Make something cool everyday 2009"
