David Rush - "Live Hard" Video

** 1/22 - Apparently I discovered this video too early and it was not yet cleared for media release. The video has been removed temporarily.

I bring this post to you with the most love my heart could possibly muster up for you.  I ask for your forgiveness in advance if this post seems a bit nonsensical at points. I'm so overcome with emotion right now that I may lose my focus over the course of this write up. I'm literally in tears as I write this. So much so that I've caused my son to worry about me.

While the opening paragraph may suggest otherwise, this post is not about a sad situation. This post is about life, trials and success.  It is my hope that you will be inspired to reflect, grow and evolve as a human being.

I have been fortunate enough in my lifetime to experience some incredible things. Not all blessings come in the most attractive of packages so the beauty in the pain and triumph captured in this music video by recording artist David Rush caused a flood of emotion that I can't adequately capture in this post. If you've every experienced something as harrowing as this, then you'll understand. I have and I'm thankful for every experience that shaped the man I am today. I could have had a very different life, but I didn't.

To that wonderful reality, inspired by David Rush, please share in a virtual toast to life with me as you soak up the sounds and images of "Live Hard".

Love,

Rox Fontaine

Happy new year to all of the wonderful individuals that support this blog! 2010 was only the beginning of this adventure and there's no better way to kick off 2011 than with a super dope interview.

Sit back and enjoy this trip into the mind of LA. This young lady is making strides in leaps and bounds and is sure to be a huge success story in 2011. There are great talents and there are once in a lifetime talents. LA is looking like the once in a lifetime variety. Her incredible energy coupled with a genuine gift with words equals one of the most exciting MCs, male or female, signed or unsigned on the market today.

 

LiveWire feat. Mike Shorey - "Say Yeah" Video

LiveWire has been heavy on the underground scene for quite some time now and if you don't keep your ear to the pavement the way I do; just know that LiveWire is something like a big deal.

I've had the good fortune of seeing LiveWire perform live more than once and I can assure you that the name LiveWire is well earned. He's a genuine talent with the perfect combination of skill, ambition and business savvy. Don't believe me? Well, believe his Underground Music Award for "Most Exciting Artist of the Year".  His recently released "No Label" mixtape is making a lot of noise on the underground circuit and it's all thanks to Live's own ability to make it happen. From spearheading his company The Formula, Inc. to film to touring the globe to tearing down stages at a club near you, LiveWire is truly Living Inspiration Via Entertainment.

The Baddest Black Man in Outta Space

Check out this incredibly creative project being put together by Che Broadnax. Broadnax is an MC and 3D animator who just successfully completed an ambitious KickStarter fundraiser to help along the completion of this amazing looking art project.

I was introduced to Che's work by another graphic artist I featured here a short while ago by the name of Ken Hill. Needless to say, I'm impressed with Che's work and I'm very much looking forward to hearing and seeing the completed project.
