My buddy Corey Smith is releasing his first solo mixtape this November. If you're from Richmond and have been around then you probably have heard of Corey's music group, Earth Tone. He's going to be performing at the Green House in New York City in October. He's also going to be on the pilot for a new Bravo reality show coming up, but that's a whole different story. Check out his mixtape trailer above or see it in HD here.

Also, I forgot to post this but it's of Raekwon when he came down for the SHHO in Richmond. Check it out.

Ian, Danny, Dylan, and Duy's Infinite Playlist.

ATLiens-61 by you.

As I mentioned in the previous post, three of my friends and I took a road trip down to Atlanta a few weeks ago. On our way back, we calculated that the ride home would be about nine and a half hours. So we made a nine and a half hour playlist.

Each of us would choose thirty "chill" songs, not knowing who picked what, and have it play in one mega monster playlist on the ride home. So it wasn't really infinite,we skipped a few repeats, and we went over the nine and a half hours allotted because some people had to go nine songs over. Sorry guys...

Anyways, here's the playlist. I highly recommend doing something like this on your next long trip.

Battle of Hotlanta.

ATLiens-45 by you.

My friends and I were sent to Atlanta a few weekends ago to work on a Civil War film for Richmond local Kevin Herschberger of LionHeart Filmworks. 10 hours to and from in the car with your best friends is always fun. It included all of the regular road trip activities. Massive iTunes playlists, playing football at gas stations at 3 in the morning and farting in the car...

We stopped at a lot of food places local to the area that we've never been to. Trying to get with the workers at Krystal, getting lost and owning shirts in Varsity and traveling to various Cook-Outs to try to find one that sells shirts.

But when we were working, we were working. I was shooting amongst the Confederate soldiers. Musket, musket, DSLR. Hanging out with the re-enactors helped give me a better understanding for there Southern pride. A Confederate flag means much more then any negative connotations associated with it. Plus they're a lot more interesting then dem Yankees.

A Little Past A Little Closer.

Thats a Rape-16 by you.

Last weekend we wrapped on the production of A Little Closer. A group of NYU Graduates and other New York City dwellers came down to Richmond, the directors Matthew Petock's hometown, and began shooting his first feature length film.

Thats a Rape-24 by you.

The final scene was shot at a county fair.Where we spotted a few celebrities including Turtle Kid amongst many others. See if you can spot them all! It feels great to get back in touch with my Southern Roots. Check out more pictures at theworsteyes.
