So..Lots of things going on as was mentioned last post. A little more detail is called for...
We mentioned Seraphim has a role in an upcoming indy film. The film, Lifted, just wrapped this week and 'Phim is thankful as the last scene he shot required him to don about 40 lbs. of military gear and stand around in the desert. Academy Award nominee, Lexi Alexander, directed the film. We're hoping for big things as the production team rushes to get a cut ready for Sundance. The dude's first ever film acting role and its with an Oscar nominated director. Kinda badass, no?
Its a principle role, so his ugly mug will adorn the screen for some of the film's most crucial moments (god bless good agents). There's musical involvement as well. We'll definitely get into more detail when a rough cut is done and PR for the film starts kicking up. The bad news...dude caught the Hollywood bug and is now a SAG card carrying nightmare. Letting two members of one of the NY underground's most relentless crews into the Hollywood machine was a mistake suckers. Big mistake. They're more poised than ever to execute the film projects they've had waiting in the wings.
What else? Well...after our re-structuring a few years ago, with Steeples moving behind the scenes to concentrate on film projects, 'Phim and Steeps stepped into a downtown L.A. studio just days ago and knocked out a track for an upcoming compilation. Its the first time the pair have recorded together in 3 years. What's even more exciting is Steeples plans to jump on another cut for Medicine Babies. The guys couldn't be happier....The funny thing is, if it weren't for the film none of it would have happened. So big ups to Lexi for inadvertently making that happen!
In related No Surrender news, Monica Sharp sent out an acapella of 'Carousel' a track for her and 'Phim's High Heals project which caused a little bit of a frenzy. One producer turned a remix around in 48 hrs. We think they're on to something.
Speaking of onto something...man of 1,000 bands, Mr. 'Phim's side project Office Party with Voodofe and Jim Kelly of New Kingdom is generating mega buzz...they've been asked by a subsidiary of a major label to get in the studio and whip up another track quick....we think they're being courted...hmmm.
Not taking a minute to breathe while in LA recently, 'Phim also met with a producer that wants him on at least two tracks for a mixtape slated to feature some of hip-hop's elite including Young Jezzy and Busta....damn and here he was about to quit the game and go run a Mister Softee truck in the islands.
2010 is gonna be a monster year for the crew! Thanks a mega-million for the years of support!!
