Payaso Triste to perform at Amber West Village NYC. Watch the video for more details. Hope to see you all there!

The “T” album will be officially released on Sept. 15th at the Coffee Cave in Newark, NJ. This is an album I am extremely excited about and proud to be an executive producer on.  The “Talonted Experience” will feature a live performance by Talonted with his band, Dj Sly Boogie on the tables, the ISH Productions, artwork by Serron, Task One, Baja Ukweli, and Jay Wilson.

Just recently I had the opportunity, thanks to good friend and director Erik B, to edit this video for Ugandan artist Maurice Kirya.  The song “Wooye” appears on his album “MISUBBAAWA” and this video will be premiering on MTV Base hopefully very soon.  Special thanks to cast and crew, and anyone else who played a part on this.

Talonted and Flo Global Productions release “The Talonted Never Lose”. This short film, directed by Erik Brown and Edited by Pixel Mobb is saturated with imagery and a clear message; “One with strong passion cannot be broken down.” The piece also features powerful new music from Frank G and the ISH Productions.

This short film serves as a cinematic visual of one undergoing several challenges, both physical and mental, while in pursuit of one’s passion to achieve something great. The main setting takes place in a dark, grim interrogation room where the main character, Talonted, (playing himself) undergoes different forms of torment by an interrogator, played by Damien Colletti, to break his spirit. But Talonted’s passion keeps him holding on with confidence. At the end of the movie, we see just whether this torment is actual or simply all in the mind of Talonted.

So the other day, I was fortunate enough to direct and shoot my very first video for a song I produced called “Legacy.” The song (available for FREE Download) features ISH Productions artist DREA of Asbury Park NJ, and an ill verse from Yasin of Toe Tag Ent. Definitely enjoyed the process of putting this video together and I am truly looking forward to showing off some of the upcoming projects I have planned with the ISH Productions family of creatives. Hope you all enjoy my directorial debut.

Special thanks goes out to all of the locations and everyone who made the video possible including the following:
Artist(s): Drea & Yasin
Actors: King James Grahams, Stanley, Junior, Debbie, Lorie, Papa, Steetz
Locations: The Side Door (Belmar, NJ), Mac Records (Asbury Park), Classic Cutz (Asbury Park)

A couple of weeks ago my man Talonted opened up for R & B singer Bilal at the Loft in Montclair NJ. Here is some footage of one of the songs performed that night, entitled, “Talentoso.” Backed by a live band, and singers Bleu Nile and Euphrates, this was truly a beautiful rendition of a song soon to be featured on Talonted’s upcoming album with the ISH Productions. More footage soon to come.

Here is part 1 of 3 of some footage shot at Cin M Art 43 in NYC the other night, which includes a Drea performance of “Beg My Pardon.” Peace to everyone who came out to support and show love. Shout to WordSpit, D-Wins, Bree, and the rest of the performers as well.

So recently I have been working with my man Goldy aka El Therapista Musical on a new project. Here’s a preview of a song which will be featured on the upcoming EP entitled, “OK”… and even if you don’t speak a lick of spanish, you can still appreciate the art. I’ll be posting more of my man throughout the next few weeks, including some recording sessions and live performance footage. Special thanks to Pyramid Records.

My man Drew Hartman, Custodian of Records released this mix the other day as a podcast featuring the Frank G produced “Dear Hip Hop” ft. the Mad Rapper. Good lookin my dude. Enjoy.

Finally… the culminating project of “The Very Worst of JAMES Watts” project is here, and its available for FREE DOWNLOAD. This EP is a collection of older material, replayed and remixed by Frank G/ ISH Productions. Just to clarify even further, James and I took some OG versions of songs and replayed/composed them with all LIVE instruments, and have been releasing them over the last few weeks in video vignette format (Shout to 2DopeBoyz/RunandEatNYC/GoodFellaMedia/OkayPlayer/etc. and all the other blogs for heavily promoting these).

We have taken the full versions of these songs, including 2 NEW Replays and have released them as EP entitled, “When Worse Comes to Worst.” Hope you all enjoy them, and we look forward to showing off some of the fresh concoctions we have been cooking up for the close of this year and into the next. Once again, thank you to everyone who has shown support. Your loyalty is overwhelming.
