A few months ago, we decided to embark on another check point in the preparation of Manhattan's debut release Live From The Glitter Dome. Prior to Glitter Dome, none of us had ever handled any film production, so we naturally relied on our artistic instincts and called on some qualified help. Fortunately for us, we knew some AMAZING talent so the video easily surpassed our expectations! With weeks deliberating over storyboards, mood pages and location scoutings we brought hours of labor to a climatic close at the prestigious Wooly Restaurant located in the Woolworth Building. Enjoy a preview of whats to come shortly! “Its Nothing” premieres on CREATIVE CONTROL.TV.

Manhattan, always the professional, gets the last minute star treatment prior to shooting his profile shot.

Great shot of Manhattan at the bar, as he is no stranger to a Gin & Tonic with a splash of lemon juice.

Pompadours are not easy to grow as they take time and dedication to cultivate. Manhattan leaves no hair strand unkept as S.Dot Lambo sees that he is perfect for his next scene.

A final preview of whats to come. Stay tuned for the single “Its Nothing” from Live From The Glitter Dome featured on Creative Control. TV

After years of searching for a specific sound, Lemar And Dauley and Hound’s Tooth Recordings embarked on Manhattans first public release Live From The Glitter Dome. Live From The Glitter Dome was essentially a personal project for Manhattan but after further cultivation from business partner Kareem Blair and producer M.I.K.E SEE he sought out to make the project his first offering. Manhattan and M.I.K.E SEE developed what is known as the “Dough Boy Sound”, a completely organic/synth sound that keeps a Hip-Hop rhythm but allows melody to carry out in a song.

Yesterday was a good day with the family. I hope your christmas went great as well and you got a few things you desired. If not The Cool Kids got you covered to relieve some of that post holiday depression.

Just in time to give thanks to some hip-hop legends, our musical collaborative project with Mick Boogie and Terry Urban releases today! LE DA SOUL: 20 years of De La Soul!

Inspired by 20 years of greatness from hip-hop's most consistent group, De La Soul, this project unites the cream of the crop in hiphop… including old school legends (Phife, Camp Lo and Skillz), current hitmakers (Talib Kweli and Kardinal Offishall) and future stars (U-N-I, Tanya Morgan and Tabi Bonney) to remake their favorite De La classics.

Originally stemming from Mick Boogie's popular VH1 Honor Roll mixtape last year, we worked with our favorite artists and producers to create an astounding 20 remakes!  One for every year of De La history!

Lemar And Dauley, Mick, Terry and The Press Play Show would like to thank and salute Pos, Dave and Mase for 20 years of making history!
