R+I Creative

http://www.ricreative.com/

I fell in love with these guys after I watched their short documentary, "Influencers." Each film is well filmed and edited, and their concepts in approaching these films are innovative and powerful. Their videos ranges from hiphop, to design, to fashion, to traveling, to more. Every time I watch their clips, I get something new out of them. Props to R+I Creative, keep being amazing.

"R+I is a creative label that conceptualizes, produces inspiring content through innovative production and immersive approach." 

Section 80 - Kendrick Lamar

Section 80 speaks truth about our youth. A little late to post but this is one of my favourite newschool albums. A positive influencer in the mainstream world and a hard worker, Kendrick's on his grind and I'm excited for his third studio album already. Hiphop as a positive social influence. He's comin down to Toronto, August 2 @Sound Academy, see you there.

The Hundreds

The Hundreds is a brand i look upto as artists and influencers. The Hundreds is more than a brand, it shows, promotes, and lives the 'Los Angeles lifestyle.' That's where things happen is when brands promote and directly live a certain lifestyle and culture. The blog is what completes the brand. Being a skilled photographer in each scene, Bobby gives you a first-hand experience on the LA street culture. 

4 years and still loving the Hundreds blog, their clothing, and their fresh look.

“Dancers are some of the most driven, courageous people on the face of the earth. They deal with more day-to-day rejection in one year than most people do in a lifetime. Every day, they face the financial challenge of living a freelance lifestyle, the disrespect of people who think they should get real jobs, and their own fear that they'll never work again. Every day, they have to ignore the possibility that the vision they have dedicated their lives to is a pipe dream. With every note, they stretch themselves, emotionally and physically, risking criticism and judgment. With every passing year, many of them watch as the other people their age achieve the predictable milestones of normal life - the car, the family, the house, the nest egg. Why? Because Actors, Dancers, Musicians and Singers are willing to give their entire lives to a moment - to that melody, that lyric, that chord, or that interpretation that will stir the audience's soul. Actors, Dancers, Singers and Musicians are beings who have tasted life's nectar in that crystal moment when they poured out their creative spirit and touched another's heart. In that instant, they were as close to magic, God, and perfection as anyone could ever be. And in their own hearts, they know that to dedicate oneself to that moment is worth a thousand lifetimes.”

- David Ackert, LA Times

"Design to me is just all about communication. That's what a good designer is. Everytime I'm presented with a design project, I see a problem that somebody has and it's my job to fix that problem, you know. It's almost like they have a Rubick's cube that they can't figure out and good design can be like click clack, boom, now we can all see it. That's what good design is."
