MASTER REVOLVING WOMAN:
A Tiye Phoenix Video Medley directed by First Be
One of the strongest critiques I consistently read about my debut album Half Woman Half Amazin is that it contains a very well balanced sonic and lyrical variety, which made for a commendable diverse display of hip hop. Everyone who enjoys the album seems to have a different favorite song all for different reasons. For this reason, I chose to shoot a video medley of 3 different songs from the album: Master Plan (prod. by DJ Jazzy Jeff) Revolving Door (prod. by DJ Scratch) and Half Woman Half Amazin (prod. by yours truly); three different songs with respect to content, yet very much kin to one another in spirit. The name of this video medley - Master Revolving Woman..
What better way to hit someone upside the head with powerful messages than to LITERALLY hit them upside the head with powerful messages---via flying tee shirts? lol These shirts from "HIGHER ATIYE-R" bear potent messages pertinent to our preservation and growth. If you're interested in purchasing any of these amazing shirts, please send a email to courtney.e.g@gmail.com indicating which shirt you'd like, along with your preferred size & color. Also, the video's storyline speaks to the beauty of synchronicity: we draw to us and receive the exact messages we need at the right times, necessary for our evolution.
The beautiful people of the community of Harlem USA provided just the perfect backdrop for such a story, as the timeless sense of rich historic tradition and spirit can be felt throughout Harlem's atmosphere while walking its streets.
Many thanks to the video's director First Be, Ben Gilbarg (and team)..Ben is the Director of 3rd Eye Unlimited in New Bedford, Massachusetts, a community based organization that educates children on the history and foundation of hip hop music and culture. Also, thanks to Joel Cordero of www.Roseyphotos.com for capturing such beautiful pictures on that day, the same photos I've been posting on my blog http://tiyephoenix.blogspot.com.
