With the changing seasons, the time is here to switch gear in preparation for cold winds, rain and other forms of inclement weather. Thankfully, We Are The Process plans to help everyone transition in style with their upcoming items for fall and winter. The whole line is full of must-have’s for me but, if you want to zone in on one particular piece to snag, I’d say aim for their varsity jacket. Read the rest of this entry »

As expected, the dubya’s keep piling up for Jeezy as he’s easing into the final lap as the TM103 race continues. The Real came back and now we have another Decatur Dan-treated visual to support the movement. To be considered yourself a winner, you have to surround yourself with some and alongside the entire USDA, Read the rest of this entry »

“It ain’t nothing to me, I’ll get it done, Try to run, Pump to ya back like Bobby Johnson’s son.”

Even if you have only been paying attention to the visuals, it’s easy to see that Trouble’s December 17th is one of the most polished projects to drop the current fiscal year. In a perfect world, these songs would serve as an amalgam for radio and club fodder, with each of them transcending every region like locusts in biblical times. Read the rest of this entry »

Taking a trip to Atlanta for a brief moment, Decatur Dan rounds up those specializing in trap rap à la Alley Boy, Young Jeezy and everyone with a slight affiliation with Duct Tape or CTE for the “Four” visual. Those who gave The Real Is Back a listen will remember only Alley and Young appeared on the song. Calls were made, favors were placed and the result ended up being John’s country cousin, Yo, as the third brick flipper. Read the rest of this entry »

Atlanta-based director Decatur Dan happens to be one of my favorite people. He doesn’t just “shoot videos” and collect checks; he curates quality with each project where his name is attached. Read the rest of this entry »

Here comes Trouble, back with video numero cuatro from his December 17th mixtape. Not as testy as the “Questions” clip but there’s only so much dust-kicking that the game can stand per artist I guess. Read the rest of this entry »

On this one, Trouble saves the questions for himself (“How the fuck them birds fall from out the sky like that?/Why the Lord let DJ die and make me cry like that?”) on the intense “World Goes ‘Round.” Read the rest of this entry »

Whew, lawd. Call the coroner. Trouble smashed this one. Read the rest of this entry »

Anytime there is a Georgia ghetto full of choppers and headbusters ready for some G-action, best believe Decatur Dan will be on the scene, ready to document the festivities. In his latest hood narrative, Double D wound up planted in the Edgewood projects in Atlanta, with plenty of Duct Tape Ent goons pointing heavy machinery in his direction. But it wasn’t beef they were seeking; they all were “Bussin’” for Trouble as he melted the concrete clear off the pavement with a grind-ready anthem. Read the rest of this entry »

Jeezy and his minions are betting it all on black with the CTE campaign and Decatur Dan has visual proof of the occasion. The buzz might be questionable but money ain’t a thang for the Corporate Thugs. Whether they’re in suits or sweats, best believe they’re strapped and ready to sweep the streets.
