VMAs 2025 x @eddystreetpost x NY photo dump | Styled by SF’s own @segensolomon 🏆 The music video for Not Like Us came out July 4th, 2024 so it’s a blessing to still witness and feel the energy of its reach. A year+ later and we’ve received awards (and nominations) from The Grammys, BET, NAACP, Webby and now the VMAs (Shout out to @xiaolongdp for winning best cinematography 🏆 - well deserved!) Said it time and time again but I’ll forever be grateful to @davefree @kendricklamar and the @pglang team for allowing me and @eddystreetpost to collaborate on a piece that will forever be apart of not only the thread of Hip Hop but the history of Pop Culture. Didn’t know what video editing was until after getting a business degree from Morehouse College in 2011. Shot a random video of my boy @najmurph (RIP) freestyling and everything clicked from there. I’m most proud of building this all from scratch - and sticking with it - for 15 years straight! Outside of the guidance of my Grams I can honestly say the profession of editing gave me TRUE passion and transformed me into the man I am today. Any award will forever be secondary to the network and direction editing has brought me through out the years. Funny enough - this is still the very beginning. Have so much more to offer the world - even outside of film. Big thanks to my co-founder of Eddy and close friend @omgsoerin for helping me elevate the brand and rocking wit me through thick and thin over the years. No better feeling than to have walked into the arena with one of my day 1’s. On a smaller scale - thanks for coordinating this memorable trip 🏆. Another special thanks to my friend @kenmirror for swooping me from the airport with the vibes and being a confidant over the last few years. Glad to have finally met you in person and thanks for inviting me to you and @designstudio_khan picnic. Will forever be a legendary link up 🏆. Lastly, shout out to my fellow nominees for Best Editing @neal_farmstrong and @sofiakerpan - I’ve been inspired by both of you for years now so humbled to be in the same category with you legends. As always - Fillmoe and the city of San Francisco - STAND UP ✊🏽.

Funny story but after Kamm dropped Off My Chest Deluxe in November I would be driving around LA playin’ it and every time this song came on I would instantly text him like “bruh this song really sicc freal” lol. Told him we should shoot a simple reel for it late last year and after awhile more and more pieces came together organically. Told Asher the concept and bruh brought it home with the treatment. Told Brenda I wanted to have her dance and she went crazy with the choreography. Asked Mohamed to shoot and bruh put a dynamic team together. Told Zakiya Kamm usually style’s himself but he’s open minded for this (lol) and she went crazy wit the fits. All and all - as my first post of the year - I’m hella proud of what we were able to put together for this in a really short time. Went from a 1:23 Interlude to a 4 minute short film. Can’t thank everybody enough for slidin’ and makin’ my vision come to life. Was one of the most family oriented sets I’ve ever been on. Looking forward to bringing my original production company NCND Productions back to life to shoot a lot more this year. HIRE ANYBODY I MENTION BELOW because they’re talented and work their asses off! As always R.I.P. to the creator of @studentunionent Naj Murph @najmurph - know he woulda liked this one a lot.
