"La Rime Qui Te Braque"



Heyaaaaa. Wanted to hit you with a little project that i participated in during the summer of 2007. My friend Emily happened to be with a guy that was in this small Parisian rap crew, known as Tout Pour Tuer (TPT in short, check their Myspace right HERE), the group actually consists of 5 rappers, Provok,Oxad, Nord1, HDI and Mooka. Being aspiring filmmakers, Zack (the haterest hater of them all, haha) and I decided to make a music video for them. We worked on an almost nonexistent budget (less than 100 euros, all spent on water basically, it was steaaaaaaming hot), shot for two days, and below is the end result. A 35mm adapter was used to give the image a "film" look. Besides for the blistering heat, the other challenge was being able to control a 40 plus person pot smokin, graffiti sprayin and 40 drinkin crew, but we managed in teh end after an exhausting 14 or so hours. It was an awesome couple of days, and even if the video ain't exactly professional. it ain't shabby neither. Directed by Zack Spiger, produced my moi, and great photos by Alicia Karpetsky. Below is the vid, as well as couple of tracks off their Tout Pour Tuer mixtape. Big thanks to Zack, Em-dog, SoLo (you know who you are!), Alicia, Jonathan, and Ruby for making it happen. Big up to Mooka, Nord1, Oxad, HDI, Provok, Krazy Man, Tryce, Ruby, Sheron, Skunk, Frank and all the rest of the TPT crew.
