Last weekend Korey Schaefer invited me out to shoot some behind the scenes photography for a hip hop video he and Jordan Bortolotti (hosts of AUX TV’s Something New) were making with the helps of Alon Isocianu from Reactiv Pictures.
Here’s a little more of the back story, taken from AUX TV:
A few months back Korey and Jordan entered Mike Turner’s (former guitarist of our lady peace) studio with Juno award-winning producer, Chris Perry to write, record and produce a track of the most awful commercial hip hop imaginable.
In preparation of an episode of their show investigating the “de-evolution of hiphop as an artform in the mainstream”, Something New approached artists and emcee’s like Classified, Swollen Members, Wale, among others to get their opinions on the “state of the union”. Here’s a bit of a spoiler, but unfortunately it was a resounding “bad”. Classified went as far as to suggest to the boys “anyone can do it.” The guys took Classified’s words litterally, which leaves us to tomorrow’s video shoot.
