Ho Ho Uh-Oh



HAHA!! Drunk roast session

I come back from Ohio to this? Haha, classic! Shout out to my frat bros for always having a good time doing whatever we do. As you can see in the video, bro told me not to post this, but he knows me and how I like to put up cool/funny stuff. My bad bro, it's just entertainment!! 

Be advised: This was a result of a great time amongst brothers. Alcohol was consumed responsibly and nobodies  feelings were hurt in the act!

Video was shot from my iPhone 4.

Christmas is upon us!

Christmas has crept up on me this year! I haven't even had the chance to finish my shopping for my family and friends. With it being only seven days away, I need to cram this shopping in and get everything wrapped. My tree is looking kind of bare without the presents lol!

Ho Ho Ho...

Official Release Party

Today is the official mixtape release party for the TrakBlazas and a dope show featuring a lot of talented local Ohio artists. The party will be held at The Lounge in downtown Akron with doors opening at 8:30 P.M. sharp! Tickets are only 5 bucks, so don't make excuses. If you're in the Akron area, this is an event you do NOT want to miss!

On another note..

I got a new puppy. The little puggle terrorists' name is Pennie. She's actually a really smart puppy, but she's extremely curious about everything and a has a tremendously good sense of smell. It must be the beagle in her...

New Template

I was just messing around with the page and decided to switch up the look. Not sure if I like it yet though. We'll see... But, until then, check out the new video for the TrakBlazas.

Say Hello To The "Bad Guy"

The newest installment to the TrakBlazas video collection will be premiering on December 13th, online! This was by far the most fun I have had on a video shoot. The TrakBlazas are some cool artists that are passionate about their music and it is reflected through their songs. "Bad Guy" will be the first single off of their upcoming mixtape titled "TB is the team", dropping December 19th. I got a little preview of what is going to be on the tape, and let me tell you... those Akron boys are putting out some great music! "Say hello to the Bad Guy!"

#Work

Just got back from working with the TrakBlazas in Akron, Ohio. Two video shoots in one weekend is tiresome, but fun. Thanks to everyone who came out to support and chill. Both videos, "Paper" and "Bad Guy" will be released mid December. In the mean time... more cool stuff will be posted. I've got billion dollar ideas brewing but limited to 24 hour days...

Ohio Bound

This weekend I am traveling to Akron, OH to link up with the TrakBlazas to shoot two videos. First is "Bad Guy", and then Sunday we are shooting "Paper". Hotels, clubs, and good music will be the recipe for this project! Stay tuned...

TrakBlazas Live in Cleveland

On 10/22, the TrakBlazas had a show in Cleveland, Ohio @ Peabodys. I posted the video to my YouTube account last week but forgot to post it on here! Foolish me....

A few Stills

Here are a few pics that were snapped on 10/22.

The lady on the end was a rager



Kent, OH Outpost video recap

On 10/15, SuperJones, FeddyRockerrr, DreDay4EverBaby, Nowly, J.Will, and Ace Bundy had a show in Kent, OH at the Outpost bar/ music venue. Despite a four hour car ride to Kent from Michigan, the show was hype. Sorry if you couldn't be there. I guess that's why I'm here... Take a look at what I saw.



TrakBlazas & Yelawolf

Shout out to the TrakBlazas (Nowly, DreDay, and FeddyRockerrr) for putting on another hype show on 10/22 at Peabodys in Downtown Cleveland. The three stages were all filled with local talent, but the upstairs  stage where the TrakBlazas performed was packed! Keep an eye out for their music and future projects. Video recap and photos coming soon.

Homecoming Weekend

This weekend is Homecoming fo Olivet College. Our school has lost almost every single Homecoming Football game that I can remember. However, my brothers of Mu Omega Pi don't care about any of that... we always have a great time and make memorable experiences. I swear, hilarious stuff always happens. I wish we could have a camera rolling on us at all times lol. I will post pictures of some of our activitites and my bros having a great time.

WWNu Show @ Albion College

Shout out to Albion College and Sig Nu for hosting a dope dance party. Performances by J.Will, DREDAY, Nowly, Feddyrockerrr, and SuperJones. Photos by Photo Ben, and video provided by Cloudy Productions.

Footage is coming soon!

Ultimate Warrior #UW

If you haven't picked up Starlito's (Allstar, or better known as LITO) new tape titled, "Ultimate Warrior", then your head must be stuck in a glacier. Pick it up quickly and get familiar with the music!!

A Cloudy State of MInd

New York city is the hot zone for thrill seekers, party goers, fashion designers, artists, and many other occupations. Shout out to Kayla for allowing me to put her in this video, she was a little skeptical at first, but with a little convincing she was game. I didn't have an extreme amount of footage so I have compiled clips into a short segment of New York in a nutshell.

Nine Twenty Eight

Have you ever had the feeling that sometimes no one understands you, but you? I have been feeling like that lately and I don't know why... I feel like Russel Crowe in Ron Howard's film- "A beautiful mind". A film about a young prodigy who develops paranoid schizophrenia. I don't have paranoia or anything like that, but sometimes I can feel my mind racing and it's hard to focus on one subject. Call it what you want, ADHD, ADD, dyslexia.... I have never been diagnosed with anything of the sort. I just have so many ideas and need to get them out. But, while I sit back and plot on how I plan to get them out.... here are a few pictures of some clouds that I thought were cool. These weren't Photoshopped or altered in any sort.



Florida Sky Before The Rain



Florida Sky After The Rain




Michigan Sky On The Way Home





Wild in the Streets (NY)

Below is a video shot while walking around in New York City. There isn't any special edits, transitions, or anything like that. This is the raw footage of dudes break dancing and doing work on a day to day basis.

postponed

I apologize for not updating lately. I have been trying to get things together for a few projects I am organizing.
 My birthday is tomorrow and plan on goin' insane. 24 years young and still breathin. Thank you Jesus!
Also, I got another ride to keep Sebrina (my Chrysler Sebring convert.) company, a black on black Jeep Liberty. I need to find a name that suits the ride. Give it a week and i'll have something fitting.

Shout out to U of M football for the intense game v. Notre Dame. That was truly the most intense U of M game witnessed. Of course, Michigan prevailed victorious over Notre Dame.

Mi familia

My family got together to celebrate my uncles retirement from Grand Trunk Railway. Everytime my family gets together it's always a great time never with a dull moment. 

shot/edited by yours truly.

Weekend excursion

This past weekend my girl and I took a weekend excursion to New York. We stayed in Yonkers and took a 20 minute train to Grand Central Station/ Times Square. The city is hella dope, but a lot of people there aren't lol. We took a few random pictures and videos. I'm going to make a New York montage early next week and post it.

Here are a few pics we took:



FLEEEXXXXIN!!!!



Kind of like "Where's Waldo"?, but where's Kayla?

Grand Central mackin' lol.

More lost than a stray animal.

Posted.

Big city dreamin'.

RAWR, fool.

Keepin' it 1,000

The Cloudy Production blog page has finally reached 1,000 view!!. Keep an eye out for new things, and some old footage too. A new video will be posted by this weekend.

Shout out to my fraternity brothers of Mu Omega Pi, we were finally able to move back into our old house on Green St.!! Shit is about to go DOWN. I'm going to paint a huge lion on the wall in our chapter room since it's our mascot, plus all of my bros have the heart of one so it's only right.

Keep an eye out for new updates, and let's see if we can get to 2,000 in two weeks.

New sh!t

Here is the video to my boy Expo titiled "sober in Jackson". Shout out to Expo, Perfect, and Skrilla for holdin' down their city. More coming soon from Expo, and a a video is in the works for Skrilla.

Shot and edited by yours truly 

@iamexpo

A few photos snapped for my boy Expo.

Expo- Sober in Jackson official video dropping tonight!







Not for the weak stomach lol

I was driving home earlier on the highway and a flock of birds were flying low. Like a shark that my car is... it snagged a poor little bird out of the air like a seal.

Must have been all of that shark week...

~R.I.P~

Shreddin'

For those of you who didn't know I used to skate, check it out. I forgot who I submitted the video to, oh well. This was back in my "long hair, don't care" days lol.

Shout out to my boy Sean, keep rippin'.

Live for the weekend

Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, Chevy Woods, and Mac Miller all on one ticket? I think so! This past weekend, Wiz Khalifa headlined in the concert that took place at the Phoenix center, or Phoenix amphitheater for those who aren't familiar with Pontiac. Wiz Khalifa killed it. Sooo much herb was smoked you could have caught a contact buzz. The show was hella dope besides all of the hipsters there. I swear everyone was trying to look like Wiz Khalifa's twin. Lame. After the show Big Sean hosted his party at the Crofoot right down the street from the concert. We waited a while for Big Sean to show up so we could show some home town support, but I guess time restricted him from coming... Over all, it was a great time with my brother Mario and frat bro Anthony (@GI_BOOM). In about two weeks Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, and Keri Hilson perform at DTE.

SuperJones- Robin Givens

Check out the newest video from SuperJones called "Robin Givens".

Video was shot/produced/edited by yours truly.

Dropping today!

I know it has been a little bit since I have posted a video of any sort... So, with that said, the video for SuperJones will be dropping tonight! This video was shot with my new Sony a33. Unfortunately, I'm at work until 5 everyday so I'm not able to get creative til after work.

I'm also on the prowl to work with new artists, so feel free to contact me!

I hate moving

I didn't realize how much I hate moving until I started packing up my possessions. I also didn't realize how many pairs of shoes I have! Even though  I hate packing all of my stuff up, I'm excited to move out of the small town I'm in and start something new. It's almost like starting fresh.

Scared the shit out of this duck.

Warmer the weather, colder the drinks

Saturday morning my girl and I returned from Florida for a WELL deserved vacation and I am ready to go back! We stayed at Orange Lake Resorts and it was super dope. It was a three bedroom condo surrounded with golf courses and amazing scenery with everything we needed located in the complex . We hung out by the pool everyday and relaxed, sipped on a few cold drinks, and went swimming. We also checked out Full Sail University because I am considering going there early next year. The campus is amazing with all of the latest high tech gadgets, great landscape, and friendly instructors/employees.

Pictures and videos will be posted soon.

Also, keep an eye out for SuperJones's new video "Robin Givens". Shot, produced, and edited by yours truly.

Much more coming soon

Here are some pictures that I have taken with my new camera. I'm still getting a grasp on all of the functions, but I think I am off to a good start.

Just a day in the park

Check out some visuals shot and edited from yours truly.

Shout out to ALL of my fraternity brothers, MU OMEGA PI all day. This is a video my bro Anthony of Y.C.I. and I chillin' at the park. Much more to come from both teams. 

Pictures are coming soon too! lol I haven't forgot. 

Visuals

Ever since I bought my Sony a33, I have been trying to learn everything about it. There is so many functions I still need to learn but I feel like I have a good feel for it so far. I'll post some videos and pictures I took so you can see the quality of the camera. I really like the image quality but one thing Sony DSLR's need to work on is the audio, I'm going to purchase a DSLR mic for it so I can pick up a broader range of sound. Check out Keyon freestyling over a beat that I forgot its name lol and a few pictures I have taken.

New Sh!t

I haven't really had the chance to update lately, i've been so busy which is a good thing I guess... I just bought a Sony a33 DSLR camera and that thing is awesome! I can take HD videos and snap some dope pictures. I will be posting pics and new videos real soon. Keep an eye out for my boy Pierre a.k.a Jewlz video dropping in the next two weeks.

Ride around with that Rocket

Shout out to up and coming artist Underground Jewelz out of Jackson, MI. He has a big show tonight at the Rocket in Jackson that could boost his music career. Wish him luck. I'll keep you posted.

Exit 100A

Man... life is progressing so fast I can hardly keep up! I am now a college graduate and wow... is it stress relieving!!! Cloudy Productions is in full effect and I have stacks on stack on stacks of ideas jumbling around in my head. I'm contemplating whether I should go back to school and get this video productions degree or work on Cloudy Productions and build my clientel up. So many life decisions to make, but I have faith that I will make the right ones and move forward and do great things. Recently, SuperJones and I linked up to film some cool stuff and it resulted in a promo commercial for his website. http://www.superjonesmusic.com/. Check it out.

M.I.A. no way.

Since my hometown team, the Detroit Pistons didnt make the finals...or the playoffs even, the Bulls look like the next worthy contender for the 2011 NBA championship. Miami may have had an off game against the Bulls, but that is more than likely not true. The Bulls put the clamps on the Heats offense and it looks like thats how its going to stay for the remainder of the series.

R.I.P. Lakers- Next year is our year.

More cool vids are in the works. Summer is creeping upon us quickly so that means roads trips and honey dips will be in full effect!

Still yawning from the night before...

I haven't had the chance to update anything on here lately due to insufficient hours in a day. I've been getting my portfolio and everything needed complete before graduation on May 21st. Shout out to all of my Mu Omega Pi brothers who are graduating, we did it!

On Spring Break 2011, my fraternity brother Phil and I met some dudes from Kentucky. The talk of music came up and one thing lead to another, then next thing you know we have a beat box freestyle from R3 and Mr. J.o. R3 spoke to us in an interview and gave us a little information about what he's been up to.The lighting for the interview is a little over exposed but it's still pretty cool. Check it out  below, or if you go to Youtube select the HD option.

Give this a peep

I had the chance to meet Expo on a video shoot in Ann Arbor. He said he has a mixtape out and would like to shoot a video for a track, so of course we had to link up. This is what happened when we did.

Busy Busy Busy!!

Lately it has seemed like things are falling into place, which is a great feeling. A number of things are in the works from my team.

1. Just shot a video for my boy Expo out in Jackson which should be droppin real real soon.
2. Yacht Club Inc's artist G Nut is droppin some hot lava in the studio. Expect his mixtape "who is G Nut?" hittin your area sooner than you think.
3. My boy PY is also laying down some hot tracks in the studio, so expect some things from him.
4. The homie Super Jones is dropping his mixtape on 4/20, "lifestyles of the young and autonomous".
5. Super Jones is also doin a show in Kent, OH on 4/22.
6. Lastly, it's finally gettin warmer in the cold state of Michigan!

In the mean time... check out my boy PY's track off his up coming album, "the taste of victory"- I can't let yall down.

Cool shit over bull shit

Shout out to U of M basketball for the nail biter last night in NCAA tourney. They almost pulled off the upset against # 1 seed, Duke. On a better note, North Carolina pulled off the win to advance to the next round. North Carolina v. Duke in the championship game?!?!?!

Lastly, shout out to all of my fraternity brothers. Mu Omega Pi or play hop-scotch in traffic blind folded.

Saturday March 26, Mu Omega Pi will be hosting a Luau party. Everyone is invited!

To hold you over...

Here's a somewhat throwback video to hold you over until I upload Super Jones new video, "hoppin fences".

Video shoot

Today I linked up with my boy SuperJones for the video shoot of "hoppin' fences", off of the up coming mixtape dropping on 4/20. Shout out to photo Ben for capturing the shoot through his eyes with his dope ass Cannon camera. Also, shout outs to Scrilla and Expo for showing us around Ann Arbor and cashing out Launch skate shop. All together we bought at least 7 pairs of shoes, a few shirts, and 1 or 2 snap back hats. If you haven't checked out the store Motivations in downtown Ann Arbor, check it out! They have the latest in street apparel, and have a few scenes in the video. Check out a few photos from the shoot!
