"Ur Supposed 2 B" Videoshoot

On Saturday, we did the video for my first single "Ur Supposed 2 B" feat Koz, produced by myself (Isz) and directed by Slush. All shot in Williamsburg/Bed-Stuy & Clinton Hill, Brooklyn,NY. It was definitely an experience I expected the best but it was the all-out best. I definitely gotta give a shot outs to everybody who came through. LillyBeth Gonzalez (Makeup Artist & Costume), Javier Mosquera (Production & Camera Assistant) , Bridget Barkan (Actress), Victor Lapy, Tippie (Production design & effects supervisor) , Gil T. (Actor), Almeria Campbell (Actress), James Holloway (Actor), Alfonso Cole, DJ Blakghost, Koz (rapper), Slush (Director) you made this shit happen, Gilbert Flores (Cinematography), Jae Brook (you definitely made a critical contribution lol word up), CE Muzik & McCray Media + Co., Athur Retiz a.k.a. Grand Finale, my niggaz Elegy & KazMoney for coming through and doing the jumping scene (that was too funny lol). Shot out to my nigga Borris for coming through, shot out to Joshue and Andy even though ya'll couldn't make it I understand. My big brother Larry, I wish you could've been in New York at the time, City, The Specialist, Mastermind the whole Coney Island crew, Crown Heights, East NY & Bed-Stuy the whole Brooklyn this one's for you.. Shot out to everyone who wanted to come through but couldn't make it, I understand trust me...


I was also glad to have to chance to shoot this video while Koz is still here in New York. Yea it's crazy he's going back to Cali to live but I remember the day I met this dude. He came through the studio dressed up in a suit and started spitting over the Jay-Z "Moment of Clarity" instrumental and had a CD of songs he did in his crib and I was like wtf???... Looking real familiar cause I was doing the same thing lol.. but he really went hard with this rap thing from shows to videos, touring from New York to California and internationally. Gotta respect that. word up. So this is to Koz ( Cheers, La'Chayim)... Still here for a couple more days but when you go I know u still gon' do the damn thang... lol nahmean.




On Sunday Dec. 7, 2008 (the day after the shoot). Grand Finale called me up about 1pm like "you gotta come through the studio, the playback of the video is crazy"... now ummm.. I was all for it and happy but I ain't gon' lie I was tired like ma-of. And plust it was like only one of the coldest and windiest days for that matter.. I thought I was the only tired one but I got to the studio it was like hotel continental breakfast. Everybody was drinking coffee and shit.. eatting doughnuts and cookies I was like wow... So I seen the playback and it suprised me b/c at first I was real anxious and feeling like damn did I kill it?. lol
