Kendrick Lamar’s “A.D.H.D.” video directed by VA$HTIE and presented by RockSmith. Although the video doesn’t do much to enhance the song, yet it didn’t require much since “A.D.H.D.” stands out as one of Section.80′s better offerings. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s always great to see an independent project grow some legs, and when Kendrick Lamar is the author of said project, the Kool-Aid tastes even sweeter. We already made you aware that he was shooting a video for the restless death march of “Rigamortis,” but he killed two birds while in New York City with King Va$htie, who directed the slow-burner “A.D.H.D.” Read the rest of this entry »

A few months ago, I told Va$htie that she was a topic of conversation between my twelve year old daughter and I when discussing how limitless the world can be if you use your mind and imagination. Read the rest of this entry »

Our favorite “it” girl and one of the hottest chicks on the planet is killing ‘em in the latest issue of The Source, just like that deadly schoolgirl from Kill Bill Vol. 1. Never too good for a wife beater, sweats and authetic J’s, Va$htie gets dolled up for the camera and does the pretty girl rock without so much as batting an eyelash. Read the rest of this entry »

Jasmine Solano steps from behind the turntables to drop the visuals for “That’s Not It,” the lead single from her Married To The Mob-backed EP of the same title. Jasmine’s been rocking this track at performances and the video has been in the can for a minute. But it can be hard to coordinate a release when one of your main gig is DJ’ing for one of rap’s most in demand artists on the touring circuit. Read the rest of this entry »

Oh word? VA$HTIE got Jordans, now? She breathes a breath of fresh air into the simple silhouette using lavender accented by a darker purple. The only touch they’re missing maybe is “Downtown” on the back of the left sneaker and “Sweetheart” on the right. Read the rest of this entry »

While us measly pedestrians comply with monotony against our better judgment on the daily, the artist Gotty™ calls a game-changer—Theophilus London—indulges in yet another day of the best job on earth. Making music and getting paid for it. This go round, the New Yorker with foresight forever finds himself traipsing around Amsterdam and Brussels in search of a pretty piece to accompany his solo Stevie Wonder jam session for the viral visual to “Hey Wonderful.” Read the rest of this entry »

“Accept the new…”

Even though Theophilus’ “I Want You” video co-stars Glenn Aya Lovrich and is directed by Va$htie, the star of this musical scene is actually the song. Already brimming with seductiveness, the tune is only enhanced by the aforementioned elements, amplifying the sensual nature of it all. Still it’s not overtly sexual, maintaining the foreplay effect just like Marvin originally intended. Read the rest of this entry »

How does one create sexy in approximately twenty seconds? Put Va$htie behind the lens, cue up Theophilus’ “I Want You” and add in one seductive model. Setup a bedroom scene and you’re good money. Expect the full version to drop shortly. Read the rest of this entry »

VA$HTIE’s birthday was one day last week so happy belated to her. To cap it off, there was a party @ Santos in honor of the birthday girl and I think it doubled as a released party for Theophilus’ I Want You mixtape. Relevance? Not much really, but really, don’t these kids just seem to live a great life? Plus, I f#cks with them both so you’re stuck dealing with my whims at times. Below, footage of TL & Jesse Boykins III (and his hair) performing “I Want You” for the crowd. Read the rest of this entry »

The prime indicator that I’m head over heels in love with this particular mixtape? The fact that not only are we posting the front cover, we’re including the inner artwork as well. Unlike most, Theophilus’ mixtape is a work of art, bar code included or not, and it should be presented as one whole in order to help convey his message. Everything from paying respect to Marvin with the title (which immediately sets the bar high) and opening song cover to posing with the feline descendant of LL’s panther. It’s all here. VA$HTIE’s playing hostess. And we finally get the full and complete version of “Flying Overseas.”

Looking from the big picture point of view, I fully believe he’s one of those multi-talented artists who has the ability to help steer the course of music. Not just Hip-Hop. Music. With his arrangements, delivery and content, he’s cut from the same cloth of a few others I’m fond of – B.o.B., Dãm, etc. – who don’t necessarily fit into the narrow lanes of what’s expected, but manage to do the unexpected with grace. While they all may not make a mainstream impact, it will have a decided influence on your favorite artists. And just like Marvin’s I Want You played like a courtship between lovers, so does Theophilus’, be they lovers of music, life or anything in between.

Enjoy.

In the morning equivalent of being allowed to indulge in French toast and a big bowl of sugary sweet cereal, Theophilus serves up “Accept The New.” The song, which will be included on his upcoming I Want You mixtape, finds Mr. London remixing the work of another creative genius (Dãm-Funk’s “Fantasy”). Backup vocals and sounds provided by Jesse Boykins & VA$HTIE.

I Want You releases on April 28th and I couldn’t be happier. Read the rest of this entry »

Cash and Caviar catch up with VA$HTIE to let her tell her story about getting into the video business, obstacles she’s faced as a woman in a male-dominated field, influences and influencing, making a statement with the Violette brand and all kinds of fun stuff that make her one of the culture’s smartest sweethearts.

Ahem, Va$h & Theophilius, brother Gotty™ wants that “I Want You” mp3, stat! Either via inbox or the mixtape dropping. Stank you very much. Read the rest of this entry »

Everything about Theophilus appears as the antithesis to Hip-Hop is supposed to be. That’s true. Even the name “Theophilus” doesn’t rightly fit the mold. In a way, I see the same curse befalling him that set people back from checking acts like Dam and SA-RA’s projects. They’re all just a little bit too far outside the lines of what’s expected from a Black musician and the cookie-cutter mold of what our artists are expected to present themselves like.
