LYRICS BORN – LAST TRUMPET
AH YEAH! Its Friday! Today we’re going to be looking at some oldie but goodie work for Arowana Friday. Back in 2003, we shot this music video with our homie, Lyrics Born and Lateef the Truth Speaker. They are Bay Area hip hop artist which run with the Quannum Crew. If you never heard of the Quannum Crew, well then you are truly missing out.
The song Last Trumpet is off Lyrics Born first solo album entitled Later that Day. Its probably our most favorite hip hop album of all time. If you listen to this album from start to beginning, you will transform to a new person with a new appreciation of hip hop, guaranteed! This is hip hop, at ITS FINEST!
We shot this on good old standard definition and ran around San Francisco, using our favorite spots like Fort Miley, Cameron House, the Financial District, up near cliff house, the Bay Bridge, the bart station, Portsmouth Square Parking garage, and on top of our homies rooftop in Nob Hill. Pretty much everywhere we could shoot for free. Luckily cops didn’t really care either. We love SF!
This video actually won an Alice Radio Station 3 Minute Film Festival award for Original Music Video category in 2006. What’s crazy is that this song was actually made pre 9/11. If you listen to the words, you would swear it would have been post 9/11. So this song spoke volumes. But of course since the music video wasn’t made until after 2001, MTV and other music video outlets refused to air it.
But this was Arowana Films first music video and def wasn’t the last. But its always good to reflect on past work. So enjoy some old school work that still KICKS ASS today!
