SNOW X DEMER

2011-10-24T11:18:00.000-04:00

Shout out to the killas Demer and Snow for reaching out on this one. Garden Sk8 has to be one of the illest places I've been to. I've had the privilege to see some amazing talents rock at the spot and its always good energy. Unfortunately, hurricane Irene came through and damn near destroyed the place. Most people would have called it quits, but Todd "The Bossman Schwartz didn't. He reached out to people like Snow and Demer to give this place a makeover. The outcome is Garden Sk8 2.0 and I must say it is back to where it was. Fresh paint and ramps all over the place... a skateboarders dream.

Shout outs to SNOW, DEMER, TODD SCHWARTZ, THEN ONE, EZOR, SERY, JOE IURATO and BT CREW for letting me capture some footage. Oh and peace to fellow video mastermind GENTRIFRIED. Peace and Respect -SERRINGE

Wise words from SNOW

2011-10-19T22:00:00.003-04:00

The nature of art has always been discussed and debated. Most people agree that there is not just one definition, but rather, art encompasses a variety of ideas, approaches and qualities. What about graffiti? Although many may consider this vandalism and destructive with no intrinsic value - it is emotional, it does communicate and many believe it really is legitimate art. Paterson native Carmelo Sigona has been painting graffiti for more than 30 years. His tag name, "Snow", dates back to the late 70s when he was called Snow White because he was the only white kid in the neighborhood painting on the streets. Sigona has transitioned into a successful commercial career which includes licensing deals, album covers and music videos. He's currently pitching a graphic novel to several studios in Hollywood with the hope of turning it into a film or cartoon series. (Video by Andre Malok / The Star-Ledger)

ELEMENT TREE presents: T.DEE

2011-10-17T17:33:00.000-04:00

Shout out to T.Dee for reaching out to me on this project.

Anyway the homie T.Dee did his thing as usual and the end result looked amazing. Peace and Respect -SERRINGE

ZAR - "IMMORTALIZED"

2011-10-10T08:00:00.001-04:00

Major Shout out to artist ZAR for coming through and blessing "IMMORTALIZED" with his history and skill. ZAR is a very down to earth type of guy with stories about his history that I would've listened to forever. Its really a treat when someone like this lets you into their world for a moment, especially when you don't know if this is the last time you'll hear his side of history. I'm grateful for your time big homie.

As far as "IMMORTALIZED" goes... Its been quite the journey. When we started the documentary we didnt know how important it would be to make sure that every aspect of the film would have to be catored to. In the end we figured out the tweaks we had to make and even though its taken a lot longer I dont regret it one bit. The finished product will be something I will be proud to present to anyone. That being said please be patient and Ill keep you posted on here as usual.

Peace and Respect to the homie ZAR. -SERRINGE

What a great ol time we had filming this video in silence. Best thing about places like this is you can really zone out.. it's pretty much like meditating in an environment where not just anybody can relax. Oh and shout out to all my peeps from 28 Days Later that were catching some Zs didn't mean to startle yous. Peace and Respect -SERRINGE

If anyone is wondering what I meant about 28 Days Later... heres what happend. I walk into this huge room that had a door that was letting in light. The light was almost blinding being that this room didnt have any other windows. So, I decide to do a little exploring and I walk into the room. Right as my eyes start to adjust I see someone sit up. Then another and another.... as my eyes fully adjust I realized it was a bunch of people just laying there sleeping... it was weird. Anyway if you ever seen 28 Days Later.. right as the main character wakes up he goes into a church and in that church a zombie sits up in the back of the church, then another and another. Thats how that shit felt... never seen some shit like that. Crazy..

SER by: SERRINGE

2011-08-11T01:58:00.000-04:00

A few days ago I was sitting around doing nothing on purpose trying to relax for once. I found myself getting bored so I decided to go paint in the yard. I gotta tell you I had a blast sippin on a couple of brews and listening to some beats. Also anyone that knows me can tell you that I've never been a letter guy. I've always painted characters and not for nothing this is probably the tenth time or so in my life I've attempted letters. I thought they came out alright... maybe I'll practice some more. This could become addicting. Peace and Respect -SERRINGE

COPYWRITE interview by: SERRINGE

2011-07-26T17:26:00.000-04:00

E.T. When did you become Copywrite the artist, and what inspired it?

COPY I've been rapping since 1991. I've told the story a lot. It was a total accident. I never wanted to be a rapper. Me, Jakki & his brother & cousins made freestyle comedy skits. One time, he started making a beat on the table & we started talking turns freestyling. The boom box had a built in mic. The older kids that were looked up to as the OG trouble makers liked it & we tried writing the next day. I was lyrical vandal first. Then Jakki tried calling me "Pistol Pete". That name didn't stick. I hated it. Eventually, I would tag "Pete Nelson" around my bedroom & draw a "©" after it, until it dawned on me that if something is "Copywritten", it can't be duplicated which is what I wanted my style & sound to be like. Unmatched. Plus it was an unconventional rap name, which I kinda dug. Copy was born in '95 or so.

E.T. What’s it like out there for an artist like yourself that’s been around for years watching this Industry change?

COPY It's no different than being a child born in 1978 who grew up watching the world change. I don't worship rap. I like to make art, whether its drawing, painting, making beats, crackin jokes or whatever. I don't care what rap does around me though.

E.T. Life and times of Peter Nelson… what was the approach to this particular project?

COPY To answer every question my supporters may have kicked around in their heads. To run head on to what most people thought I'd attempt to strategically avoid. To turn around a bunch of negatives into a few positives. Maybe help a few of my listeners going through addiction & depression so that my addiction & depression wasn't in vein. To vent. To make a rap album as honest as I possibly could. To make a classic.

E.T. As an artist you’ve been through your own ups and downs… what keeps you going?

COPY Life keeps me going. Synesthesia keeps me going. God. The actual music itself. The boxes of notebooks full of ideas accompanied by the tens of ideas I write down daily. I love music & to create. Music is in my blood. My grandpa was Skip Nelson, of the legendary Glenn Miller band & HIS father was a drummer for the Pennsylvania Philharmonic Orchestra. My dad was a great stand-up comedian, which is what I think gave me such a literally sense of thinking, to continuously write double meanings & metaphors that no one else has said for well over a decade...& my little sis isn't too shabby on the drums.

E.T. Will you be releasing any other projects on Man Bites Dog?

COPY My new album, "God Save T.H.E. King" drops 11.1.11 on Man Bites Dog & so will the MHz (MegaHertz) debut album, "Megacy". Tage future from MHz is dropping an EP on MBD, Jakki's doing his solo there with Stu Bangas & I'm working on a production album for the label called, "The Puppet Show".

E.T. Who are you listening to nowadays?

COPY Been listening to some Jay Elec, Royce 5'9", Crooked I always, Radiohead, a little Weezer, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Steely Dan, Supertramp, Pete Rock..it just depends on my day & mood.

E.T. If you can go back and change the paths you’ve taken in your career would you?

COPY I'd change nothing in fear that I wouldn't be in the exact spot & exact person I am today. Plus, everything that's happened to me or that I've done has been pre ordained by Christ. No way I could ever tamper with perfection.

E.T. What has been the biggest challenge for you within the music industry?

COPY The biggest challenge has been shedding the old reputation & image that I had. Most people thrive off rumors, some people hate due to jealousy; others flat out don't know me. Kick it with me before you judge me. I still won't judge you though.

E.T. If you can pick 5 producers you would like to work with who would they be?

COPY Five producers, eh? Ok. (In no particular order) 1. DJ Premier 2. Focus 3. The Alchemist 4. Pete Rock 5.the brains behind Radiohead (No pun).

E.T. Throughout your career touring and doing live performances what and where has been your most memorable moment?

COPY Easy. Performing at the same festival as the Godfather of soul, Mr. Dynamite aka James Brown, Rest in Paradise. Either that or performing in front of my mom a few years before she passed. (It only happened once.)

E.T. Serotonin… crazy track… crazy video. Was the video inspired by an actual event trippin on LSD?

COPY Thanks (about Serotonin). No. I didn't have anything to do with the direction or production of the video. I showed up in Boston with Nick & the set was ready w people there. I would NEVER have chosen upside down crosses for my video or pentagrams. I rock for the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you about the song & video treatment though. I saw kids on my YouTube comments asking about illuminati. ALL PRAISE BE TO THE KING OF KINGS, JESUS CHRIST AKA YAHWEH.

E.T. When it’s all said and done… how would Copywrite the artist want to be remembered?

COPY I would like to be remembered as the guy who cooked your burger just right. Jk. As a talented kid with a vivid imagination who can do anything with words, shapes, sounds & emotion. Beat the odds & won even though I should have been curled up in a corner on H. Someone with a high & clear respect for God & for his children/my brothers & sisters & who thrives from helping people out more so than glorifying my own small deeds or name.

E.T. What artist would you like to work with?

COPY I want to work with Radiohead & any other artist with Synesthesia & who knows how to make music that triggers it. Mostly, Radiohead though. Dave Grohl wouldn't be bad either.

E.T. What can we expect of Copywrite in the years to come?

COPY Consecutive albums. Never again will I let as much as a year pass without dropping an album, beit solo, MHz, side project or the secret duet I'm working on with DJ Khaled & Bette Midler.

E.T. Any last thoughts?

COPY Yeah, check out www.copywritesworld.com follow me @COPYWRITE for booking/features/production COPYWRITEMANAGEMENT@GMAIL.COM my ustream channel is THECOPYWRITENETWORK & get to know CHRIST!! Peace,kids.

"COO COO CRAZY" I AM MANY

2011-06-13T17:15:00.001-04:00

I Am Many "Coo Coo Crazy" (produced by: IDE) is the first single off of Born Again Sinner... Many's latest release on Creative Juices Music. The video was directed by me in a very freestyle and on the spot type of style. There wasn't really a plan other than just having a good time and making the video as free as the actual track. I feel the end result truly captures the development of the day and the vibe of the song. Major shout outs to I Am Many, IDE, Frank Sasoon, Logic Proof and Ski for their cooperation and dedication to the whole project.

Major shout outs to the killers Snow and Joe Iurato. These two guys came through and brought great vibes and energy to the Yard Work wall. The end result is one that I'm truly going to have a hard time removing from the wall. Snow has been a huge inspiration and has always fed knowledge to my brain since the day I was lucky enough to build with him. Joe Iurato is a great dude also. He's full of deep thought and his approach is a lot more than any of us might think. All around good dude with the best of intentions and you can see it in his stencils. Peace and Respect to the both of them! -SERRINGE
