Tru-Paz: Behind the scenes with Koray Salih

This past holiday season I had the opportunity to work with Sterling Pache from Romantic Child Studios on the video for Tru-Paz’s single “Black Widow.”  What's that?  You haven't heard of Tru-Paz?  Well, you my friend are missing out.  The group consits of Boozie the vocalist, Akim the lyracist and DJ Unknow the producer/DJ and they have come together to produce a unique sound with songs like “Hotel Hell” and “Rude Boy."  Having won over several fans in Toronto they are now ready to take on the rest of the world with the song "Black Widow."

Take  moment to watch their interview below with Hip-Hop Homage and watch out for their video coming soon!!!

Crown A Thornz: Behind the Scenes with Koray Salih

The holiday season goes by without a music video shoot?  Impossible.

My good friend Sterling Pache and I got a chance to connect once again this past holiday season to shoot not one, not two but three hip hop videos over the course of three days.  No typo.  Three music videos.  Three days.

How true it is that you don’t know your own limits until you’ve tested the mind, body and soul to prove what they can achieve if the desire and passion are in every fiber of your being.

Our first two videos were shot with the talented hip hop group Crown a Thornz.  A unique combination of hip hop with an infusion of soul and a dash of reggae to produce top tapping, hip shaking, soul moving beats.  Their conscious hip hop would make the Roots and Mos Def do a double take. 

Crown A Thornz is a group of driven creative talented artists that consists of Kolor Brown, the group’s producer, an emcee an artist and a barber, J Wyze know for his contributions to Toronto’s Flow 93.5 is also a poet and an emcee, and of course Eklipz the artist, painter, emcee, photographer, videographer and the man behind www.hiphop-homage.com.

When we teamed up with Crown A Thornz we had big expectations of the group.  In the time we spent together they did nothing short of shatter every one of our expectations from a creative perspective, a performance perspective and a dedication perspective.  When we couldn’t find a way to get to Hamilton with all our equipment they hooked us up with a limo.  When we needed a restaurant to shoot in they hooked us up with an amazing restaurant.  When we need people to help out in the video they brought a crew.   They’re a quality group both on and off the screen.

Over three days we slept less than humanly necessary, carried more than thought possible, we shot more than we could believe and we produced some great quality footage.

While you may have to wait a minute or two more for the final video you have to check out the behind the scene shots found below to get a feel for what we have been up to and watch the behind the scenes video at the end brought to you by www.hiphop-homage.com!  Big PS!  Click on any of the images for the full size!!!
