Spotlight: D-Ferg

As you know, I've wanted to start spotlight different up and coming artists. I planned on doing it weekly but idk if that'll work out...lol. So, this week im posting on a new friend of mine who's an amazing artist, D-Ferg. We have mutuall friends and hes tried to steal my gf from me(FAIL) lol, so we're connected. Im sure that I knew about him before, perhaps through my old Myspace "nosy-ness" lol.

Anyways, he's from Harlem, and was heavily influence by the style of the N.E.R.D dudes "...more than just kids with skater style...it was a statment of the freedom to be different". He attended the highschool of art and design where he studied abstract art & fashion. Poppin. He's also interned for Sean John & helped his dad(who's since passed) with a t-shirt business that catered to hiphop celebs. He hopes that in the future he'll have a succesful clothing line, DEVONI. Im uber happy that I did this post, to know a kid so motivated to do what he loves is amazing. Mad thumbs up to you Kid!! Lol

As you can see, he is EXTREMELY talented and creative. The "DEVONI I watch FILMS(feeling, innovated, living, motivated)" is his way of trying to get other to take charge or their life...D-Ferg is a fuckin breath of fresh air.

We Got Another One...

So I graduated class of '08, and its def my duty to share with you some talent from my year. first up, Terrence Stewart. I remember this kid fondly, he's mad nice & I rarely saw him without a smile.

He's fucking focused too, he knows what he wants to do with his life and thats be a rapper. Well, he's already a rapper but Im sure he wants to ger better and make it to the top. I dont doubt his ability to do so either, Im new to his music but its poppinnn!! lol...

He put out a mixtape coolly named,"Alumni Swagger" which he handed to me when i visited the school a few weeks ago. Upon opening it I realized the cd case was empty, lol...he quickly handed me a different one. Yes, nigga is stocked up (pause??), carry them shits with him.

Memorable songs include "Kisan's song" (a HS friend of ours)which is layed over Charles Hamilton's "Brooklyn Girls" beat. Its a cute sonng!! I also like "One more time once more", especially where he talks of his fave teacher Ms. Rodriguez and how she cared when no one else seemed to. He also has a deep song with Charles and my friend David(both alumni of FDA) named "Win or Lose".

Yea, bottom line this kid is grindin' and doin his thang...Now who was it that said '08 was a bunch of fuck ups?? Fuck Outta Heree!! lmao
