I can’t believe I forgot to post up the new video from the homies Y-O and Thurzday when it first dropped, but here’s “Windows” if you haven’t seen it. I’m not sure if it’s official yet, but a certain group might be coming to a certain city and a certain local DJ might be performing with them in a few weeks…stay tuned.
Here’s U-N-I’s promo video for their hat collaboration with Hella Tight as well:
The homies Y-O and Thurz are back with another video from A Love Supreme 2.0, this time for “Black Sky.” This might be my favorite Jerome D directed piece yet, and he’s done some dope ones. ILL.
Thurzday and Y-O are back with another video off A Love Supreme 2.0, this one directed by Jerome D for “Desha Dayana.” Freshness.
Hahahah, excellent visuals for the new single from the homies Thurz and Y-O off their brand new A Love Supreme 2.0 release. I’ve talked about the accompanying documentary for this project a few times because it features yours truly on narration, but objectively speaking, seriously, you have to cop. Not only do you get all this dope music but you get the full A Love Supreme documentary?
What are you waiting for?!?! Cop that.
You are not ready for my narration prowess!
But nah, in all seriousness…this documentary is super dope. Be on the lookout for it on March 9th…shout to the fellas, Chris London, DRG Films, and everyone involved for letting me be a part of it.
Yessir! It’s getting closer and closer to the release of DRG Films’ documentary on U-N-I & Ro Blvd.’s A Love Supreme project.
*cough* narrated by yours truly *cough*
Also, Y-O and Thurzday leaked a new track off the upcoming re-release of the album, due out February 23rd.
Enjoy!
The homey Casey linked up with the other homies Thurz & Y-O for an interview at their Neumos show the other day in Seattle. Homies everywhere!
Look out for the A Love Supreme documentary to drop soon, narrated by yours truly…
When Thurz & Y-O were in town last month for Bumbershoot, they brought this video up for the 206 fam (peep Y-O’s fresh Hawks hat) to check out. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m continually impressed by the visuals U-N-I release, and even though this video wasn’t done by their longtime collaborator Tomas Whitmore (Fredo Tovar handled this one), it still came out super dope.
Great track made even better with an ill video. If for some reason you don’t have it, grab the audio off the Before There Was Love mixtape.

Anyone who follows TAOD knows that last week marked Seattle’s annual music & arts festival, Bumbershoot. J. Moore and I have hosted the main stage hip-hop show for the past few years, but this time around, I had the special pleasure of not only being on the “Bumberboard” that helped plan the entire event, but I even got to perform by DJ’ing for the homies U-N-I.
Thurzday and Y-O took to the Fisher Green Stage (alongside artists like Mayer Hawthorne, Janelle Monae, De La Soul, and more) to rock in front of an enthusiastic crowd. We ran through a high energy set including tracks like “Cali Soul,” “Beautiful Day,” “Land Of The Kings,” “Supreme,” “K.R.E.A.M.,” “Hollywood Hiatus,” and more. Aside from the classicness that occurs at 1:29, the highlight has to be “Supreme.” The kids were wylin’ out to that one and both Y-O and Thurz got some crowd surfing in.
I had a really good time all weekend, so big shouts to everyone involved: One Reel, the artists, KUBE, the homies, the new folks I met, and [Jay-Z] most importantly, you, the customer [/Hov!]. If I have time, I’ll be posting up some more footage of various Bumbershoot performances here on TAOD. Stay tuned.
Yo…my people are DOIN’ IT y’all!
It’s so great to see two of my favorite people in the industry, Thurz & Y-O, really start to take off and make some major moves. This track was produced by Ro Blvd (who gets a quick cameo in the clip as well), but it’s not from their Love Supreme project. Instead, it was a special song and video commissioned by Mountain Dew’s Green Label Sound, closely affiliated with the FADER Label and my folks at Cornerstone. Just like our collaboration with GLS, the project turned out great and this clip is yet another stellar music video in U-N-I’s library. Do your thing fellas…
Sidenote, be on the lookout for the official Love Supreme documentary coming soon from DRG Films. You just might recognize one of your favorite DJ’s as the narrator…nomorganfreemano.
