‘Generation Next Presents’, is an 8 part webisode series featuring live performance and interview footage captured at the launch of ‘Generation Next’, the premier music showcase for buzz worthy emerging artists from across the nation.
Episode 1 features footage of New Jersey upstart The ILLZ, shot entirely on location in Brooklyn, New York at the launch of ‘Generation Next’ which was hosted by Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg and also featured performances by TiRon, Skyzoo, The Kid Daytona, Game Rebellion, Ca$he, J. Ferb, Invincible w/ Waajeed, Sugar Junkie and DJ Quiz.
Shot & Directed by Kristopher Rey-Talley for Kibber Films/Jackpot In The West. Produced by Mic Sean for Soul Rebel NYC.
The homie Rosenberg with DJ Premier and Jay-Z at Rock The Bells which was crazy this year and well worth it. Peter’s calling this his best pic ever over at RR.
On Thursday, September 2nd we’re releasing Episode 1 of our webisode series ‘Generation Next Presents…’ featuring footage of NJ lyricist The ILLZ shot during the launch of ‘Generation Next’ in July. The difference between ‘Generation Next’ and ‘Generation Next Presents…’ is a simple one, ‘Generation Next’ is the live music experience that introduces concert goers to the future of the music industry, ‘Generation Next Presents…’ completes that experience for the folks who attended and introduces that experience to those who didn’t. Above are a few screen shots from Episode 1…below is a dope vid The ILLZ did for his record ‘Persistence’.
This is the first sample of Nottz and Asher’s upcoming Ep ‘The Rawth’. Peter’s saying Nottz and Ash are sitting on some heaters…I believe him. Click the image above or here to listen/download. Stay tuned…
