I got to work with Grandmaster Mele Mel this weekend on his new music video. It was for a track on his upcoming album, "Muscles". The working title of the song is "M3" (a.k.a. The New Message).

Also, we had a Kid Crumbs ("Pass The Popcorn") sighting near the end of the shoot on Sunday. Crumbs made mention of it in a reply to Mele Mel's post "Mele Mel (a.k.a. Muscles) is back on the boards!!!"

The music video shoot itself went great. We have a few final shots scheduled for this Thursday, then it should be finished a couple weeks later after that.

Hopefully, Mel will post a link this week here at Okayplayer.com so everyone can view some of the highlights.

We got a lot of work done and had a great time in the process. We have been shooting in NYC, starting in the Bronx (in the projects & at the PAL rec center Mel frequented when he was first starting out). We've been following Mel as he travels through all 5 boroughs. He's been everywhere, including The Unisphere, Coney Island, The Brooklyn Bridge (we walked the length of it), Times Square, Harlem & even at Yankee Stadium. Mel is a big Yankees fan.

It should be great viewing when it's all finished. It's been a lot of fun (with a few problems here & there) making it!

Peace.
